Eatung meat might literally be murder but it doesn't make you a bad person. Morality is dictated by the norm and it is normal to eat meat. There is evolutionary evidence that provides we are thinking animals because of it. Over indulgance is not good for anything. If you want to play the blame game broccoli can feel pain so you are evil if you eat it.

You are falling for the trap. Murder can only be done to fellow humans. We slaughter animals and then butcher them. The other side of the coin, these animals we eat live a very good life, they are catered to, fed, cleaned, free healthcare until one day they take a ride, then lights out. That sounds a little rough, but consider a wild animal, who starves in the winter, has no shelter, may wander around for days with a bullet or arrow in its guts - cus no healthcare, or suffer though being partially eaten before death. Of course vegans don't like to bring that up.

Have you ever seen factory farms for chickens? Have you watched the videos where thousands of baby chickens are smothered to death to suppress disease outbreaks? The videos of the chickens in cages so small they can't move and are covered in shit because they are stacked on top of one another? How about the slaughterers who torture the cows before death? It's bullshit to claim imprisoned animals have a better life than a free animal. Why don't you commit crimes and go to prison with that mindset? Free fiod and shelter and healthcare. No one will even murder you for your flesh. Killing any living thing is murder regardless of the reasons. People are just smart animals that we can understand and empathize with. I eat meat and don't feel guilty about it but im under no illusions that a life was not taken for me to survive.

You do realize by that stupid logic entire species would go extinct if we stopped eating them as domesticated animals are just as dependent on us as we them. More so. I don't want to eat just plants as I enjoy the taste of meat and have no problem taking a life to eat. I'd eat you and people as they are meat. Your kind of vegan would be delicious as there is a lot less chemicals in your meat
