eating meat.

[Padwolf]

A few people have already said my reason: Bacon.

Bacon is too amazing not to eat. Bacon is better than true love too, apparently, I have proof

It's been a staple part of the human diet since nature bred us to be omnivores.

Nothing is more satisfying when you get really hungry. Oh yes, that salad is really juicy and dripping with flavor... Oh wait, it isn't.

Prepare for 10 pages of "hurpadurp bacon lawl".
Just once I'd like to see someone mention "filet mignon lawl" or "seafood salad lawl" as reasons for eating meat.

EDIT: *sigh* I must have too much faith in the Internet.
EDIT 2: Let me add "scrod lawl" to the ones I would like to see.

Why not?

There needs to be an extremely valid reason to actually stop eatinq meat.

Nah there really doesn't.

1. Bioloqically able to diqest meat
2. Body needs nutrients contained naturally only in meat
3. It tastes qood
4. Less valid reason, but most cultures widely eat meat

so unless you were born not eatinq meat there needs to be a valid loqical reason to deprive the body of necessary nutrients usinq a method that has worked for tens of thousands of years

We're top of the food chain, maybe you wanna exercise your rights among us? It tastes pretty damn good too, especially if prepared with some skill and variety. And if we stop eating all these cows, pigs and chickens...eventually they'll grow too huge in number and consume more and more food and blah blah blah, to cut a long story short....we're saving the planet from a population crisis. It's a rough job, but somebody's gotta do it, and I think I'll help any way I can...I'll start now. By having a fry-up before bed

Delicious!
(Mmm-mm!)

Nutritious!
(Meaty Sandvich makes you strong!)

Medicinal!
(Bacon sammich cures hangovers!)

And do you really want to miss out on these?

Spoiler: Sandwich!

Spoiler: Barbeque Ribs!

Spoiler: Burgers?

I was born with sharp incisors and bicuspids for tearing and chewing the richest source of protein on the planet. It is also easier and more efficient to use animal protein than plant protein for muscle development and basic body operation. Also I inherited the enzymes to break down meat.

It tastes great, raises testosterone, tastes great, is a replenish-able resource, tastes great, doesn't turn you into an emo douche, and it tastes great.

Vitamin B12. If you don't eat meat, you don't get any, and you eventually die. Also, sometimes you just need to chomp down on a nice, juicy steak for the simple reason that it tastes good, but the whole B12 thing is what really destroys vegan logic.

There are plenty of vegan safe B12 products.

In and of itself, there's no upsides or downsides specific to eating meat.

Yes there is. It's proof you're a manly man, who isn't a girly man that is not manly!

One Reason if you like the taste of it

 

[Mr.Mattress]

It helps your descendants develop bigger brains (Without Meat, we would not be Top of the Food Chain [http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/99legacy/6-14-1999a.html]).

However, if you don't wanna eat meat, fine by me. I honestly don't wanna push my idea of "Eating both Meat and Veggies is Awesome!" when you are clearly fine with the idea of "Eating just Veggies is Awesome!"

Eating things that are similar to us fulfills more of our nutritional requirements.
Fruits, nuts, fungi and veggies: Very little similarity.
Fishies: Little similarity.
Birdies: Some similarity.
Mammals: Lots of similarity.

 

[Oscar Bjorklund]

Because while you can survive on vegetables, and it might even taste really good, nothing will ever compare to bacon and ribs.

 

[Stephanos132]

You mean apart from it being a natural part of your diet? I think everyone else has covered aspects of bacon.

 

[Ragsnstitches]

It tastes good, what could possibly be more positive than that?

Something that tastes AND feels good. I can think of a few things that do that

OT: I'm a vegan, but if you like the taste of meat, that's a positive, I guess.

I'm still thinking of bacon...

 

[mad825]

from eating meat(fish) your body can get long chains of Omega 3 without having to produce it from short chains which subsequently this is one a draw back from being a vegetarian/vegan.

 

[dex-dex]

i don't care for it.

but for my health, i eat at least a small amount of it for the stuff i miss out on.

 

[Kirky]

I like the way it tastes. I don't really need any other reason.

Meat protein is important for continuing brain development and maintaining brain function. Meat is also a much more efficient source of protein than plant matter is. Unless you really like mushrooms, anyway; but technically that's a fungus. And if you plan on being physically active at all, your muscles will crave protein, so having a ready source of it is definitely a good thing.

Because alot of us wouldn't be hear if it weren't for eating meat, you know like storing fat for the winter and also gaining vital nutrients, plus its natural because of our fangs and the fact we have an appendix (though not functional anymore being that we cook all of our meat) shows that we are made to eat meat. Plus were an alpha predator though instead of using instinct and brawn we instead use our evolved intelligence to develop ways of caputring, killing and eating animals. Also, its damn well tasty. So really in a way, without eating meat a lot of veggies wouldn't be here today, the ungrateful ba*bleep*s. Nah, I have some friends who are veggies. Anyway yeah positives to eating meat are the fact that we are naturally omnivores, eating meat is a quicker way of getting the nutrients.
