I am not a vegetarian myself but my brother is, and he finds it quite offensive when people talk like that.
Talk like what?

"How many of the proud meat eaters here can honestly say they could hold a gun to a cows head and pull the trigger? How many could actually kill all the animals they eat? I say if your going to eat it you should be able to kill it. "
we do, have just put a cow, 3 sheep and a pig straight from our paddock, to the cool room then into our freezer. And these were all animals that my kids and I bottle reared. They grew out in our paddocks and even had names. The whole family is involved in the process of killing, gutting, skinning then cutting up the meat.
We will now sit down as a family and enjoy the fruits of our labour. Hmmm leg of lamb (formally known as Minty") with home grown veggies and home made gravy and mint sauce.
There is a ton of studies out there for and against eating meat. You need to look at who commisioned the studies and what their agendas are. From what I have personally read and reasearched I believe that we are meant to eat meat in moderation. JMO. Im an onmivore and proud of it.
but I also believe that as individuals we have the chioce to make up our own minds and not put anyone down for having their own opinions
So. Let them use their own gardens to grow their own food and stop killing all those animals during harvesting. Impractical? yeah well so is your stupid diet.
I dont mean to offend people who don't have a choice or people who do choose it and leave all well alone. I jsut hate the people who stand on street corners or just general people you meet who start raving about how I'm a murderer for eating meat and how I should be a vegetarian or I'll go to hell, etc.

I think we 'evolved' to eat meat, we could eat all of the sustanance we need from fruit, vegies, nuts etc but meat is a 'easier' alternative in ways I agree. Designed? I think not, adaptation is more fitting..
Myboajangles I think your comments about vegetarians are uncalled for, calling someone elses opinions silly? They think it is morally disgusting... most vegetarians I know think that the killing of innocent animals is cruel and unnecessary - fair enough
As a whole I say Australians eat WAY too much meat, you need more land grow all of this meat and in the end you leave a greater ecological footprint behind.
Cant remeber the exact numbers but humans only need around 1 acre of land to feed and house themselves - Australians use around 14
