I don't like how meat eaters pretend they make sense. They have learning problems, and diseases at a young age. Look at Leonardo da Vinci, who came from a family so poor they couldn't afford a last name. He only rose to the top of the intellectuals in his society because he could also not afford animal products. Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Hippocrates, were all philosophers who believed that the consumption of an animal was like being stupid in general. I would agree with Socrates that animal products are the retardation of the planet.

RobertSupreme Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Vegetarian Survey Location (State/Province, Country) Lincolnshire, England Date 5 February 2009Event (Seminar, Trade Show, etc.) veganbodybuilding.com This survey is being conducted by Dr. Peter R. Cheeke, Professor of Animal Science, Oregon State University. The purpose is to identify major reasons why people choose to become vegetarian. The survey will be completed anonymously. Please enter your demographic data here: Gender: Male Age (circle): less than 20 years Education (circle): High School College Farm Background (circle): None Animal Experience (circle): Pets only Dietary habits:Vegan Please indicate your degree of consumption of these animal products: Never for All.MeatBeef _______ _______ _______Lamb _______ _______ _______Pork _______ _______ _______Chicken _______ _______ _______Turkey _______ _______ _______Milk _______ _______ _______Eggs _______ _______ _______ Other (identify type and degree of consumption) ________n/a________________________Please identify the importance of each of the following factors in your decision to not consume animal products: Not ExtremelyImportant Important Important 1. I am opposed to the killing of animals. Not important. 2. I am concerned with health issues (heartdisease, obesity, cancer, etc.) related toconsumption of animal products. Very important 3. I am concerned about residues of chemicalfeed additives and hormones used inanimal production. Very important 4. I am opposed to intensive, confinementproduction systems (factory farming) usedin livestock and poultry production. Very important. But I prefer not to oppose things, rather be 'pro' the alternative. 5. I am concerned with food safety issues(E. coli, mad cow disease, etc.) important 6. I believe that animal production competeswith human needs for grains. Important 7. I am concerned about the environmentalissues associated with animal production. Not important8. It is “cool” and trendy to be vegetarian. Not important 9. I became a vegetarian because of peerpressure. Not important 10. Other(s). Please identify. In answer to 1. I think it is of importance how they are killed and what kind of life they led i.e. free range/battery farmed etc. I don't think there is anything wrong with killing animals for food per se, as long as it is done with respect and done only when necessary for survival. The main reason I turned vegan is because the differences between carnivores and humans are great and many and points towards humans not being geared up physically to eat large amounts of meat and animal products without great detriment.
