We ate meat and that's why our brains evolved. Factory farming is terrible of course but I think all of nature feeds on itself (lions hunting gazelle or whatever) and humans are part of nature. Plus, bacon!

Is It Ethical To Eat Meat?
True. I just can't wait for synthetic meat. When I talk to others about this, they say that's gross or unappetizing, but it's just meat lol - I think if anything it's more gross to eat meat that was attached to a suffering animal than grown using scientific means. Synthetic meat has the potential to be tastier and cheaper, and that's mainly what will normalize it for people.

Yes but at least these animals fight for it. We humans, in turn, just have animals caged up for slaughter, pretty much negating any chance of them ever surviving. A gazelle may still be able to escape a lion if it reacts fast enough or something.

Yes, people have both a brain and a stomach - from a predator. Like a bear.

The problem is, these animals living artificial lives suffer more than their counterparts living in nature. And it can be measured by the level of stress, hormones, inflammation levels, diseases, nutritional deficiencies. It is almost a torture to them.

Pigs in the wild can become insanely vicious. Ever heard of HOG WILD? Why not humanely kill them and make bacon?

Also lions rape and kill cubs that aren't their. They aren't a good measure for what is moral or not.
Primate brains may have grown larger and more complex thanks to a fruit-filled diet, a new study suggests.

That article is interesting. The reason they have bigger brains is because it's harder to find fruit. It also said that meat eaters had bigger brains than leaf eaters. That's enough for me!

If this was the case then why aren't lions and tigers doing calculus, building their own houses and altering their environment. See how stupid that sounds?

Let me know when you find lions and tigers with a hibachi grilling up antelope. -1 reading comprehension, +1 fanaticism.
