In regards to eating meat

[βαθμιαίος]

I would like to hear from meat-eaters why they take animal life, not just as an argument against what the vegetarians are saying. I did hear one point that it keeps things in balance, which, doesn't make sense to me. Forgive me if I have missed someone's points on this. May I hear them again?

I have found that I am healthier when I eat meat. I have tried both veganism and vegetarianism, but I didn't flourish. I understand that there are various "superfoods" that are recommended, but I've never found the idea of health out of a can or a bottle very appealing.

Since I live in a temperate climate, local, fresh vegetables are not available year-round. I find that eating local meat together with the garden produce that we have frozen or canned gives us a balanced, nutritious diet all winter long. In the spring, summer, and fall we tend to eat a higher proportion of fruits and vegetables and often use meat as a supplement rather than a main course.

I also believe that grass-based husbandry, for reasons similar to the ones Austin gave above and that I have mentioned in other posts, is one of the healthiest agricultural models available to us, so I feel that my diet choices help support the environment.
