Could veggie burgers increase your lifespan? Many experts insist that switching to a vegetarian lifestyle can greatly increase overall health, leading some to ditch their pork rinds like an old smoking habit. Still others swear by an omnivorous diet, saying that occasional New York steak never hurt anyone. Is a fresh helping of tofu just what the doctor ordered, or only a lot of empty calories?

Vegetarianism is a psychological symptom of unsustainable civilization
no arrogance involved
Carnivorous animals would die if they did not hunt. It is not a matter of what works best, but what works at all.
It is no less absurd to say that being involved in meat production should make the production more acceptable to a person than being involved in abortion should make abortion more acceptable to a person. Some may learn psychological numbing, but others will feel the revulsion more intensely than they would have had they have had they not been involved.
Death may happen, but we must do whatever possible to minimize it.
There is a reason why we believe in retributive punishment for humans but not for animals (I hope you see what that addresses and why).
