"Should we eat animals?"
The first response that comes to mind is, "well, obviously, we've always eaten animals, we're omnivores." This is completely understandable, and this opinion is in the majority. Why would anyone give up beautiful things like steak and bacon and burgers? The meat we get from animals is extremely important to our diet, we receive necessities like protein, that we can't get from plants.We're omnivores. We're biologically built to eat plants and meat. Of course, you can take supplements, but that won't be as satisfying as an actual meal. Another opinion that people may have is "no, of course not!" and then list reasons as to why they don't eat meat. Some people are vegetarians for health reasons, or for personal beliefs (from political to religious beliefs). If you look at the bigger picture, the .5% to 10% of Americans that are vegetarians (http://www.vegetariantimes.com/article/vegetarianism-in-america/) are just leaving more meat for others to buy. Bless them for giving up their rights to eat whatever they want so that I can enjoy an extra steak.
