Again, animals are going to eat plants regardless of whether we kill them for food or not.  And to the previous poster who mentioned the number of cows on farms is likely larger than the number of cows capable of being naturally sustained in the wild is starting to veer off-topic.  The question is whether it's wrong to eat meat, not which methods of global food production/distribution are most efficient.

I think that aspect was relevant to the debate, since it could be argued that eating meat is wrong because it involves making profits to a method of food production whose inneffectiveness compared to others have negative consequences on both the environment and our capacity to produce cheaper food - if more people ate less meat, mass production of vegetarian food would be more profitable thus the end result would be cheaper food for all, a nice step towards reducing world hunger.

Tuna pizza is fucking awesome, you should try it sometime

I will, thanks! Had no idea this was popular Tongue

You're talking about a select few. Most of the vegans or non meat eaters here aren’t arguing about you murdering animals but of course you assume this and spring on the defensive attack with things you know will rile them.

That kind of behaviour is a huge problem in all debates where emotions are implied.
