Explanation:
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?

What is cruel?
Ummmm.... yeah
Huh?? Yeah, of course "cruel" as defined by man. "People" are the ones who are having this discussion. And what exactly did you expect??
Surely there is a better argument you could attempt to make than this.

Ok?
Are you saying that the fact that we kill animals is cruel? Or are you suggesting that the way we kill them before we eat them is cruel? I am on the yes side and I agree that the way we slaughter animals is cruel by my standards, but at the same time I can not do it myself for that would require too much work and commitment.
