However I can't say that my choice in the vote would really make a difference as I find that I don't like any of the choices. That is a different discussion entirely. However recycling doesn't really apply. The main idea of recycling is a positive impact. If I chose to never recycle, then all of the stuff that I tossed that could have been recycled would not be recycled, it would just be in the landfill instead. All of the meat that someone chooses not to eat will just rot, or sit on the shelves instead. They do not change the amount of meat produced based on the small amount of vegetarians in the world (less than .5% of the population). I'm not trying to insult anyone... but if your going to be a vegetarian because you just don't like meat, that's fine... but if you want to fight animal cruelty or slaughtering.. choosing to not eat meat will not help.

I’m not trying to insult anyone… but if your going to be a vegetarian because you just don’t like meat, that’s fine… but if you want to fight animal cruelty or slaughtering.. choosing to not eat meat will not help.

Such as... - "I can't support animals being slaughtered for their meat" - "I'm against animal cruelty" - "Vegetables can sustain the human body without needing meat" How about these answers to your reasons > Animals are going to be slaughtered NO MATTER WHAT you eat. If today a thousand people decided to never eat meat again, do you think the amount of animals that get brutally slaughtered every day would change? It will never go down. McDonald's is not going to suddenly say, "Oh no we sold 1000 less Big Macs today, we better shut down some grills!" Your food choices make no difference to the world. > My answer for animal cruelty is similar to my first answer. Your choices for eating meat that is packaged by "cruelty free" sources does NOTHING for the animals that are being slaughtered daily. The only thing it does is tell the poor murdered animals that you would rather eat their spoiled cousins. Do the meat a favour and don't discriminate! > Vegetables can't provide the correct proteins and nutrients that the body needs. Sure they can suffice but as far as straight substitution goes you can not satisfy your bodies desire for meat. Meat is like anything else, you need it in moderation. Eat Meat!
