BIG IDEA: Pro meat but against factory farms. Agree that torture and inhumane treatment is bad. Need more regulations and laws protecting animal welfare. If animals have a peaceful life and death, then it is okay to eat them.
Protein aspect
Zinc, iron, B12
Provides jobs to farmers and those who work in slaughterhouses
Taste aspect
More variety in the things you can eat
Seen as a picky eater
Pro meat but AGAINST animal cruelty- need to fix this problem
Moral obligation to not eat factory farmed animals
Animals don’t deserve inhumane treatment: deserve a peaceful life and death
What would we do with animals that are currently on farms? Waste this food?
Animals don’t have morals, don’t feel guilty about killing other animals in the wild
All animals have the instinct to eat other animals- why are humans an exception?
Confront those on the pro-vegetarian side
Why are some on that side but aren’t vegetarians themselves
Do they believe in the points that they are trying to convince us of?
If farm animals lived freely in the wild they could overpopulate
Most farm animals can’t survive in the wild-would die anyway
Norm of nature
Doesn’t necessarily waste land
Alternative to soy and grain fed is simply grass feeding animals
Some land doesn’t even allow crops to grow
Plowing and planting crops is also damaging to the environment
