| Jay520 said: It's natural for humans to eat meat. Firstly, this is debatable as many believe that humans were meant to be solely plant-eaters. I personally don't think it's natural for humans to eat maet. Regardless though, that doesn't warrant anything. Plenty of *natural* actions have been abandoned as humans developed civilizations and used their intelligence to decide what's right and wrong. So saying something is natural is not an excuse for a being capable of higher order thought. |
You can debate whether or not eating herdable animals are right or wrong, that's a fair argument, but humans are meant to eat meat. We are omnivores not herbivores. Even chimpanzees eat meat. It's believed that the fact that our ancestors eating meat helped us along in terms of evolution.

I'm not sure if you're questioning whether you should eat meat at all, or whether you reconsidering eating meat for your own personal health. My suggestion would be cut back on your meat eating. Maybe restrict your meat intake to a pound of lean meat per day. So either fish or chicken.
