I would suggest OWD, that from a moral perspective, if u have the choice to be a vegetarian then you are privileged, in a protein deficient world. I suppose that's why I get a bit peeved when people start squabbling about how they are "real" vegetarians. I think the url was buddhanet.net.

Custom Bug, from the evolutionary perspective Lightning is absolutely correct, we are designed to eat meat.

i spose there will be no point in saying that its basically only apes, and related species, that have eyes primarily in front? Or that even with eyes to the side, three dimensional vision IS still possible, just to a much lesser extent than when the eyes are primarily based in the front of the skull?

I'm not saying here that people shouldn't eat meat - that's their business. But I would say that the eating of meat, and the belief that inflicting unnecessary pain and loss on others is wrong; are not compatible (owd said)

"The human digestive tract is optimized for an herbivorous diet consisting of COOKED meat and vegetables. You have to remember that H. sapiens did not tame fire. We have evolved a lot since the advent of cooking, and, as such, we have a very unique digestive tract. But it is almost a perfect cross between a non-ruminant herbivore and a carnivore"

So OWD, by "others" I assume u mean humans. If that assumption is correct, then you seem to be saying that people who eat meat cannot object to anyone inflicting unnecessary pain and loss on humans. I can see your point, but I don't think it is compelling.
The Vitamin B 12 argument also comes up a lot. Indicating that humans do indeed need meat to remain healthy, unless someone can tell me how else it is synthesised or obtained in nature.

Give me a break. It's only hypocritical if you don't make a distinction between humans and animals, or between commensals and other animals. OWD doesn't; I do.
Of course, maybe you're being sarky. I hope so, but I'm not entirely sure.
