It's just what people do and have always done. In the distant past human needed to hunt down prey to eat. Then the domestication of certain species for consumption (chickens, cows, pigs, goats, etc.) came into being. These animals provide copious amounts of dairy and meat from a single entity. "Why chase the food when you can make it come to you?"I am a vegaterian I will never eat meat! Why? Lets take a chicken. Imagine being in a hot room crammed with so many other chickens that you have no room. Then your body becomes to heavy for your legs because of drugs so your legs break. Then you get sent to a slaughter house were you a boiled alive. I can never eat meat I have read to many horrors of meat that I can never go back. Also did you know that the grain fed to the animals could be used to feed hungry people? It's true. I don't miss meat and I love beans so I eat those a lot and I'm completely healthy and against meat. I don't see how people can go with eating meat and not feeling guilty
