Actually, pretty much ALL livestock are treated like garbage. Maybe a few small businesses treat their livestock "better" but they make up probably a tenth or hundredth of a percent of livestock businesses in the world.
I'm a meat eater; I love beef, chicken, fish, turkey, and even pork occasionally. That said, Kubernetes is 100% correct: you can get 100% of your nutrition from a vegetarian and even a vegan, diet; raising animals for food is incredibly inefficient and wastes an amazing amount of resources each year; and vegetarians who eat a balanced diet are MUCH healthier than non-vegetarians who eat a balanced diet, simply because they have less fat, less sodium, less cholesteral, fewer additives, etc.
If you like meat, that's cool with me. But there's no reason to go off on vegetarians, especially if you don't really know much about vegetarianism.
P.S. Yes, a significant portion of the world's population doesn't eat meat, either by choice, or because they simply don't have the resources.
Originally posted by Audio&Me I don't get why they choose to though. I mean, they can choose what ever they want, but why reduce what you can eat by half or more? Not all live stock are treated like garbage. ![]() |
