    Default Do you eat flesh?

    Well, do you eat meat? (I'm including fish in this context as well) If not, might I ask why? Anyone not eat meat because of specific beliefs etc..?

    The rarer the better. It's only a pity the animal isn't still alive and making squealing noises as I grind my teeth home.

    Oh, and I'm posting this in the ethos forums, because I find my personal choice in regards to the question is dictated by my morals.
    Do you wish to explain?

    btw -- biological history would indicate that we evolved as omnivores so I am really curious how morals should enter into this as an issue. I know you are not alone, it is just that nobody claiming morality deals with the clear biological history of the species.

    Also, if lions subsist on the veldt eating meat -- is this immoral also? Or is this an issue only for humanity? If it is only an issue for humanity, why??

    They are personal morals, I don't hold others to the same standards that I hold myself to. If it were truly necessary for me to eat meat then I would, hell I was raised amongst a family of farmers/hunters....my uncles taught me how to skin a deer at like the age of 12. If I had nothing else to eat and there were other animals about, then hey...it's life or death.

    I currently don't have to kill in order to survive...that's just the way I see it.

    Would you mind sharing these?

    I'm a meat-eater, nothing wrong with killing animals for food.

    Ethics of reciprocity, only apply that to all living things. (We are animals too)

    Granted it's much more applicable to humans in particular.

    bthizle1,

    Where's the morality that says if one part of the world didn't consume meat products the other parts may well starve and many are?

    It's a personal choice....if I was starving to death, and only meat was available, then of course I'd eat meat....read through all of my posts, you might have realized that if you had.

    Edit:
    And who's this other fellow that doesn't eat meat as well? (There's only 2 of us as of now)

    epic fail at setting up the poll -- you should have made the vote choices visible.

    btw -- what would you expect when the bulk of the forum posts are from war gaming students who consume burgers and three meat pizza as their sole source of nurishment during tense test and study periods?

    The title was a bit misleading. For a second I thought this was gonna be some kind of battleground for cannibals.

    And yea I do.

    I thought it was going to be another Balkan thread.

    Yes, I eat meat. Especially pork.

    I do not view eating meat as immoral, even though Wicca holds that all life and nature is sacred. The point being that humans are naturally omnivores, and there is nothing wrong with following our natural dietary needs.

    I love meat. I love meat. I LOVE MEAT!


    it's an unhealthy obsession...

    And please keep your mind out of the toilet on this one, if you can.

    I do. If I had more willpower I probably would not though. I have gone without meat for 2 weeks as an experiment, and can see myself becoming a vegetarian eventually, but not now (I love chicken.)
    The flow of time is always cruel... its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it... A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days...

    Under the perspicacious and benevolent patronage of the great and honorable Rez and a member of S.I.N


    He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.
