In regards to eating meat

[Diana]

This had me laughing.

Fat people are dangerous. Gluttony comes from self-hate and/or hatred for people and animals. The obese ones have thousands of parts of animal carcasses inside them; watching that always freaks me out. Their bellies are graveyards of the bones of dead animals. The pile of bones is taller than they are in the Aluna.

I saw one woman who had 20,000+ animal parts inside her. The pile in the Aluna was 15–20 feet high and 40–50 feet across. It was like a small hill of bones glued together with agony.

A man of my spiritual intensity does not eat corpses.
~George Bernard Shaw

Recognize meat for what it really is: the antibiotic- and pesticide-laden corpse of a tortured animal.
~Ingrid Newkirk

You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered beasts, how can we expect any ideal conditions on this earth?
~George Bernard Shaw

Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
~Albert Einstein

If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.
~Paul McCartney

To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being. I should be unwilling to take the life of a lamb for the sake of the human body.
~Mahatma Gandhi

to keep on topic, I ate a beef sausage today. <groan>

tasted good with mustard seeds. (carcinogenic ++)

As a vegetarian, I have been the end of countless jokes about eating baby animals, and people telling me that they just ate such-and-such meat. What is the purpose of that?

Yes, I think, sadly, that taste is a huge reason why humans continue to eat meat. I understand it to a certain extent. I continue to eat certain things because of taste too--or rather habit I think--such as the occasional bowl of ice cream.

I guess the eating of meat is very ingrained in humans.

Iowa grain and hog farmer John Weber said he realizes people want to be sure animals are treated humanely but said it's easy for groups to get video of livestock that when paired with dramatic music can give an improper impression.

If people are to be educated about farm-animal treatment, they will never be given a proper depiction from the zealot groups. That's obvious.

Rational arguments (in the sense of relating information) don't seem to have much traction either.
