I was a dedicated vegetarian for 2 decades. When I became allergic to insulin I had no choice but to put down my vegetarian diet. I eat all meat. If I eat carbs I get sick. 'Good for you' is a relative term. We can describe good for a population but the suggestions become binary for the specific organism.
You wouldn't make it very long in my neck of the woods.
Oops-- I meant the growth hormones and chemicals for preserving they put into the meat being bad for you, not the actual meat lol.
If you live somewhere where meat is your only option, then it's survival of the fittest. If you live in a place where you can go grow a variety of fruits and veggies, or have access to a grocery store, eating meat isn't the smartest choice (health wise, at least).
What he means is that cattle can eat and digest fields of grass because they are equipped to do that. Humans cannot break down cellulose, and thus cannot simply eat grass.
Comparing humans to nature bodes very poorly for your argument. Put it this way... those animals eat plant-based foods, without those plants, animals wouldn't exist... sorry no bacon or hamburgers. Humans are also the only species that PAY to live on the planet. Plants made it possible for you to eat meat.
And sunlight made it possible for plants to live, so why don't you just eat sunlight directly? I don't think your argument is a very good one.
That doesn't even make sense. Why spend a bunch of time, energy, and money feeding animals plant-based foods so you can have 'healthy' meat... when you could plant a lot less of it and eat them directly? How is decaying, dead animal flesh a good thing to put in your body?
Because that wasn't what your argument was. Your argument was
I used that as an example of how we're all reliant on each other (nature) to make the point that human life isn't more valuable than animal life.
How does that make the point that human life isn't more valuable than an animal life? It seems totally unrelated.

Nobody plans for that much retirement.
