Guilty as charged.

Most of the energy in food goes to maintaining the metabolism of the animal that eats it and is dissipated as heat. Only a small proportion of the food goes to make the body of the animal so it can in turn be eaten by another. The millions of wildebeest in the Serengeti do not support a population of millions of lions and hyenas for exactly this reason. In any balanced ecosystem, the prey outnumber the predators.

Thanks for the info Kings. I was joking with my previous comment though. I mean seriously, who's going to eat 12 vego meals full stop really?

Democracy is a terrible option. No true American wants democracy.

Some brands of vegetarians eat eggs, too. I think they're called lacto-ovo vegetarians, or something like that.

We must think of the animals.

If everyone stopped eating meat, drinking milk, etc. then farmers and ranchers would have no reason, obviously, for raising cows, chickens and other animals. Currently, every year millions of these animals are bred and raised through out the world, but in the vegetarian model they would have no purpose. It's sad to think about the lost opportunity.

So, eat meat. Give those cows and chickens a chance at a short happy life.

Raise your hands, raise your voice, give the chickens another choice.

If God didn't intend for us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of MEAT!!!
