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?

Stop what we can, until it's an inconvinience.
Yes, eating meat kills animals. Eating vegetables that come from big farms for mass production also kills animals. The last paragraph seems to state (and correct me if I'm wrong) that we should stop as much of the aminal killing as we can. Fair enough, we have a way that we can stop all the animal killing, by farming our own vegetables. If you live in an apartment, move!
It's clearly within our power, but it's not convinient, so the idea will be dismissed. Killing animals is a matter of convinience. Some people love the animals enough to stop eating them, but not enough to stop killing them from mass consumption crops.
