You eat food to live and not because it tastes good. It really is true the saying "you are what you eat" - you are mindless Wow I’m just reading this now and that is the most stupid argument I have ever heard. You eat food to live and not because it tastes good. It really is true the saying “you are what you eat” – you are mindless

I can respect that opinion, but I don't think it's a sufficient reason for many people as you suggest. I know people who grew up on farms, hunt, and fish. And who knows if we evolved as hunter-gatherers. Some regions in India, for instance, had droughts and relied on fish for food. What motivates me, and everyone should consider , is health considerations. Some doctors argue that a low-fat plant-based diet is the best thing for us. That is something we ought to consider and I think would promote the cause of vegetarians better than moral arguments. People who write about this topic: T. Colin Campbell , Dr. McDougall, Dr. Ornish, and Dr. Esselstyn. Do you have any recommendations for me? Andrew: You bring up the aesthetic and moral issues with meat.
