if evolution wanted us to be vegetarians we wouldn't have

1) enzymes in our digestive tract that break down fat and protein.
2) there would be no such thing as ESSENTIAL amino acids that are most abundant in meat.

and MOST IMPORTANTLY

3) we'd have eyes on the side of our heads...not in front like a predator  ;)  (cows..elephants...goats. .your basic Grecians have eyes on the side of their heads...omnivores and carnivores have eyes up front)

Pretty lazy argument, but for me:

2. Meat tastes good

In moderation it's great.
Only bad thing is how the cheap meat is made and animals are treated because of it.

animal rights...LMFAO...

the only rights animals have are the rights they are allowed by other animals.

idiots...seriously some ppl are fuking morons

if its for health reasons than to each their own although i think the argument is stronger for eating meat in moderation than not eating any at all.
