I just had an exciting debate with a coworker over lunch.
I have no problem with vegetarians or anyone that chooses to not eat meat.
I do, however, take issue when people that try to lay a guilt trip on me for eating meat myself.
I don't care if you don't eat meat, but it's not like man has been wrong for the past 2 million years and all of the sudden some hippy in 1968 became the first enlightened one to realize that we really aren't supposed to be doing this.
We have incisors in our mouths that are meant to dig into flesh. There is also this thing called a food chain.....and we're in it. And all other mammals and animals are wrong to eat meat, too, right? Or maybe we are the only exception?
I decided to take on the philosophy of a smart man named Maddox.
"For every animal you don't eat, I'll eat three."
