Meat-Eater or Veggi?

Oh, I do hope this sparks some debate. There has to be a few folks here who think acting on our nature and eating meat is wrong. And I'm genuinely curious.

Both. But you need an extra vote for vegetarian. What I mean is one that doesn't eat fish. Because a vegetariajnn that does eat fish is not a vegetarian.

Omnivore.



(The video is not really on topic - the association is merely by the name of the song, and because it's an interesting video that deserves to be plugged in a prog forum.

I checked the second option, I am almost what you would call a vegan, although I occasionally eat fish or cheese and even BBQ chicken now and again.
I haven't eaten beef, pork, lamb etc in decades, and I don't care for milk or eggs either.
You won't get any moral argument from me though, I just like to eat food that is lean and clean, I don't care for heavy foods like I encountered in Northern Europe, the Japanese diet is more to my liking.
The end result is I am in excellent physical condition for my age and have more energy than most. I also avoid caffiene, nicotine, commercial sodas made with corn syrup, fast food, packaged foods with infinite shelf-life and heavy consumption of alcohol.
None of this takes any effort or attitude, I just don't enjoy putting garbage in my body, even as a kid I didn't care for pork or heavy dishes made with mystery meat.
I just eat what I enjoy eating, thats all.

Man is part of the natural world. So . . . isn't that natural? Doesn't that kind of answer your own question? What else would I mean by 'acting on our nature'? Maybe we're getting our wires crossed. Do you mean that although eating meat is natural for man, it is nevertheless wrong on a moral level? If that is what you meant, then I disagree.
