[QUOTE="Outlier, post: 2454294, member: 550046"] I am fortunate enough to live in a first-world country with enough income to eat meat (the latter wasn't always the case). The 'meat is bad veg is good' mantra comes in part from vested interests and in part from ideology using fake science. None of it stands up to intelligent scrutiny. I live in the countryside and can choose to eat local meat (farmed and wild) that lived and died in excellent conditions. I know that well-reared livestock and control of wildlife contributes importantly to landscape and ecology. I also know that growing and producing vegetarian food kills more life forms in greater quantities than idealists admit. To preserve crops in field and store, there has to be a lot of killing, some of it very dubious indeed in health terms and environmental kickback. I support anyone's wish to live on whatever diet they choose. What I don't support starts from the point anyone tries to tell me that what I do is "bad". [/QUOTE]
