But it isn't subjective at all. There is something within the action that either makes it right or wrong. There is just no way of determining which is which. One side is correct while the other isn't. The best chance we have get an answer is to investigate the situation. Which brings me to the orginal topic. In order to determine if eating meat is right or wrong then we need to investigate the action. You say you don't care about the things we were discussing. But I think they are rather important in answering your question.

And who knows... maybe after investigating we still end up with an incorrect assertion. However, the idea is to try to get as much information to reduce that risk.

I came into this thread because I'm very interested. And I am working on a minor in philosophy.

So do you think killing a man to save 100 people is right or wrong? 

It doesn't matter if I think killing in this situation is right or wrong. People will draw their own conclusions and base their opinion on one thing or another. It's subjective in the sense that there are arguments for both sides and everyone will decide differently on the matter. The only thing that would change from person to person are the views. However, the actual action is either right or wrong.

Lets turn back the clock to before Galileo. Now, I can say the Earth is flat and the sun revolves around it. I could provide some reasoning to why I believe this. Now, people can refute this and provide reasoning for their beliefs. One side of this is obviously right. The earth can not be both flat and round at the same time. This is what I am saying. An action can not be right and wrong at the same time. But just like people before Galileo we have no way of knowing which is true before investigation and unfortunatly for us in this particular situation even after investigating we can't say with certainty who is correct.
