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?

Scavengers, not omni
We haven't had to eat the scavenger diet en mass since the agricultural revoltion... are you still evolutionarily speaking "that far behind?" Yes, sorry to have to break it to you but we evolved a long time ago. Some societies have been vegetarian for thousands of years already... why hold on so tightly to something so destructive? I know you didn't plan to be like this but here you are, you can let go now.
Not critters need to die for you in particular, yes you, you don't have to eat another animal, egg, or any derivative. What would you be fighting for? Why?
