I always say if we were meant to eat meat then we would eat it. We would have no problem with biting into the ribs of a cow, like other carnivores do. I would salivate at the sight of a dead deer. A rabbit wouldn't stand a chance, although it could out-hop me.
It ain't that way though. Without a lot of thought, devising weapons, cutting the "meat" up and cooking it so it looks and tastes nothing at all like "meat", I wouldn't put it near my mouth unless it were for lots and lots of bucks on fear factor.
In the 2nd grade they told me the 2 teeth that look nothing like a dog, cat or other meat eaters fangs were in MY mouth because I too was a meat eater. I believed it, never really questioned it, until I realized that they're not really capable of cutting through the same thing a dog, tiger or other meateaters teeth could.
If a toddler is put in a room with an apple and a rabbit, it will always go to eat the apple and play with the rabbit. Doesn't think of eating the rabbit at all, even if he/she gets real hungry.
This and the truth about how the meat industry treats animals, plus all of the info on how unsanitary and unhealthy meat eating can be, is the kind of info that gets non vegetarians mad at ya.
It makes them question what they do, and it's such a huge part of their lives that it's unthinkable to look into the direction of changing it. That's why I never talk about any of it. Just gets people mad, and arguing endlessly.
For real... I don't ever talk about the above, but it's my reasons for not eating meat. I'm in better shape also than anyone I know my age and my last doctor's reports came back with everything in perfect working order.
Both my brothers and father are bald. I'm not. They eat meat, I don't.
