I eat meat because, I like it. I like the texture, the flavor. It might just be that I am a moralless bastard, but I am firmly in the camp that doesn't believe that humans are in any shape or form above or separate of the animal kingdom. We are animals. Beasts who just lucked out enough with their nervous system to compensate for our lack of physical prowess and in doing so, managed to fight our way to be the dominant species on this world. Were it not us, it'd be something else.
We are also some of the most violent creatures. Male lions kill the cubs of female lions so they could mate with her instead. Humans kill each other in far greater numbers and for astronomically wider range of reasons. We are also so adaptable we could be considered adaptation incarnate. I only long for the day humanity casts aside these arcane, restricting and otherwise illogical concepts of morality and ethics, and start adapting ourselves. Improve on the design in whatever means we think best, not appropriate.
So I am comfortable with the destructive nature of our species. Some would consider such realization as an epiphany to change these brutal ways and seek a "higher" standard of living or thinking. But I, I embrace it. I am human.
"You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals. So lets do it like they do on the Discovery Channel."
