Vegetarianism

Hmmmm, I'm writing a paper on vegetarianism right now and I googled the positives and negatives for vegetarianism. For some reason I found the "it tastes good" argument for meat funny. But I agree, it tastes good.

Yahoo answers: 

"1) we have a natural desire to eat meat - we've been doing it since the dawn of man

2) our bodies are designed to eat and digest meat

3) meat tastes ******* nice

4) meat is a good source of protein and other nutrients

5) i see no moral reason to stop eating meat. animals kill other animals. we're an animal; don't delude yourself. it's called the food chain

6) the slaughter of animals keeps them from over-populating

7) which in turn can do damage to the environment i.e. high methane levels

8) if everyone was vegetarian farmers and shops would lose money, go out of business, plus everybody would be unhappy on such tasteless diets :(

9) just to reiterate, it tastes damn good. i'd rather live to 80 and eat a lot of tasty meaty meals than live to 85 and eat rabbit food"
