I gave up meat many years ago and don't really miss it. There are veggie substitutes for many things if you want that taste, but I realise some people don't even want that. I do choose to still eat fish now and then, but it should be a personal choice. It's not a religion that dictates what we should and shouldn't do.
I thought Steven Wilson stated his reasons well. We are not hunter-gatherers now. Food is an industry and meat is just a product. I think many people don't even think about where it comes from and don't equate farm animals to their pets.
The vegan food substitutes are getting so good that soon it'll be hard for people to justify not giving up meat. Seriously, I had these vegan chicken strips. We put some franks red hot sauce on them and I actually cried because they tasted just as good as a hot wing, and no animal had to be killed for me to enjoy it.
I look forward to the day when vegan substitutes are just as good and just as cheap. I doubt that day is far off.
Hey congratulations
I'm eating a lot less meat these days than say a year ago
which i think is a good start, maybe only contributing to 30% of animal suffering and death than I use to
slowly getting there
You won't believe this - I finished watching this very video just 5 minutes back! He's absolutely right.
