Do we really need to kill animals??

[Scisca]

I think we should do what nature designed us to do. Humans are omnivores, hence should eat both plants and meat. I will never believe that leaving one part of this equation out is better for us, whichever one it is. Yeah, you can survive eating just plants, but I'll never believe it's better for you. Also, we have to remember that people from different races have evolved differently and have different needs in this field. Asians or people from India don't need as much meat as white people who live in a cold climate. Just look at the Eskimos, they eat meat and lard with next to no plants and are absolutely fine and healthy, cause they do what nature designed them to do. We just need to find the right balance between the two and that is all. You should think about where you're coming from, what your ancestors used to eat or in general what people eat in the climate of your origin and stick to it. Adopting a stupid ideology of other people, who come from a different part of the Earth and have evolved to a different diet is stupid and can be detrimental to your health.

At the same time I'm supporting humane treatment of animals all the way. I think hens shouldn't be kept in cages the way they are and I like the small move that EU has made recently in this field. Hope they don't stop here and keep going this way. Also animals in slaughterhouses should be killed in a way in which they do not expect that they will die in a moment. Another important thing is to increase the standards for transportation of animals. There is a lot to do and I think we should do it, but that is not a reason to quit eating meat.
