Problems With Giving Up Meat

Think giving up meat to be a vegetarian or vegan is a good idea? Think again. Besides the fact eating plants is also killing life, let's look at things logically. Say everybody stops eating meat. What happens to those meaty animals? People raise cows and chickens for both food and milk and eggs. Pigs are raised only for food. yes, there's the occasional pet, but not enough. Now, what do you suppose farmers will do with all these excess animals? Sure, they'll use more cows and chickens for milk and eggs. Lower them prices big time. But there'll still be way more cows and chickens than needed. Pigs have no other use. Maybe a few hundred more will be pets. Maybe. Caring for these animals cost money. Food, water, shelter, veterinarian bills. Do you think farmers will spend all that money with no chance of a return on investment? Nope. They'll kill the excess animals. Giving up meat kills more animals, and renders pigs all but extinct. If not extinct, because few pet owners will turn to breeding pigs.

Now, for you god lovers out there, remember he made us omnivorous. That means it's blasphemy not to eat meat as intended. You're literally telling god he was wrong to make us eat meat, to want us to eat meat. How do you think he'll take that?
