I could go for a steak right now. :D + Show Spoiler + Since our bodies are designed to eat meat, I actually think veganism for "ethical" reasons is a bit laughable. We're at the top of the food chain. All other creatures are on this planet because we allow them to be, either for our benefit (meat + dairy), or because we have no way or desire to gut the land they live on for our own purposes | ||

I hate this cruelty porn tactic that people use to emotionally trap. So you'd have no problem in eating non-veg if the animals weren't brutally killed and slaughtered more ethically! This has zero to do with veganism and everything to do with improper food laws. And please don't even start that "if there was no demand then wud not be any need for___" stuff. Man, some of you just have to realise that there are bigger issues than what we eat thats wrong with todays world. + Show Spoiler + P.S: Anyway, I appreciate you taking an effort and making a stand for something you feel strongly about, as THAT is definitely an admirable quality.

Shifting the demand curve cannot be predicted as accurately as short term movements on a supply-demand curve can... In the long term, maybe... | ||

I don't understand, surely less demand for meat = good, with the emerging middle class in China and India now demanding meat instead of basic staples, meat prices are set to soar in the coming decades. If some westerners want to stop eating meat because it offends their sensibilities it might be a good thing. | ||

Also, killing by CO2 is not excruciatingly painful, it is quite the opposite. Indeed its like falling asleep in a stuffy room only you never wake up. | ||

And I don't eat meat or poultry often because it's too expensive to get stuff that isn't processed garbage, so if anything I'm closer to vegetarian than carnivore. | ||
