A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Man is the only animal whose desires increase as they are fed; the only animal that is never satisfied.
One has got to choose between the two evils, also between the lesser of the two evils in the matter of food, and therefore vegetarian food has got to he taken by man in order to sustain human life.
Not eating meat is a decision, eating meat is an instinct.
In most of the world, it is accepted that if animals are to be killed for food, they should be killed without suffering.
If man limits himself to a satisfied animal existence, and asks from life only what such an existence can give, the higher values of life at once disappear.
The main point for me is moral; animals are sentient beings. I know for some this is a hard argument to accept, but we're not built to eat a lot of meat.
Therefore, vegetarianism alone can give us the quality of com-passion, which distinguishes man from the rest of the animal world.
When you cook, you take a life. When you eat fish, or meat, you take a life. And you must be very respectful of the ingredients and that is very important.
Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat until he eats them.
I think that if a person wants to remain vegetarian, they're just going to have to go hungry.
