name any plant that consumes more resources to produce than milk or flesh??? And it's not about resource consumption, yorturing and killing animals is just plain wrong (same reason why mummifying a pet is wrong)
To be honest, meat just taste way better than plants. Also carbs, plant oil etc. makes me feel bloated. Feels better to support my local farmers and buy their meat than buying tofu and veggies imported from another continent. Living in the far north we really don't get to be a vegetarian if I want to eat local food. Also the farm animals around here are treated really well. And they taste amazing!
buying veggies from across the globe is still more environmentally friendly than buying local animal products, what you buy is more important that where you buy from. But yeah I see you. You just like the taste better and feel less bloated. I just don't think this outweighs the exploitation and killing of animals. Why should they suffer and die just so that you feel less bloated and have your tongue treated?
Not all animals are treated badly, I was raised on a farm and our livestock was treated really good.
Supporting locally produce just makes sense imo. Being self sufficient in an unstable world is security. Nobody knows what the future brings, and being dependant on nations far away doesn't make any sense. It's also easier to stay lean and healthy on a low carb meat diet.
And the whole vegan thing is just strange to me. I don't know any vegetarians and to my knowledge I don't think I've ever met one (that I know of).
