Thanksgiving arrives every year with a heated debate over how to best cook that plump and juicy turkey. But the idea of a tofu turkey (also known as a “tofurkey”) has gone from a joke a couple years ago to a reality for many. While vegetarianism has been practiced for over a thousand years in some countries, it is a relatively new concept in the West. And so, with the question cropping up more and more often, should we eat meat?

Animal Agriculture Causes Global Warming
Go hunt, then.
The problem PETA seems to have is based, in large part, on animal agriculture. Fine then: go hunt. There is, in many states (my home state of PA, for instance) an overabundance of game animals such as the white tailed deer. Deer are not grain fed, they don't require huge areas of leveled pasturage, and venison and other game is much better for you than processed meat. Hunting game doesn't contribute to global warming, cause starvation, or harm the environment in any way- hunters pay disproportionately for conservation efforts, AND hunting the deer population, for instance, down to a natural levels puts humans back into a stable ecological niche as predators.
