I tend to eat vegetarian for a variety of reasons, including the treatment of animals. I think it is healthier for all of us, including the planet. It is also cheaper, which is a contributing factor for my choices. I serve meat when my kids come for dinner, and I eat whatever they cook when I am at their house.

I do limit my meat intake in many ways. But if you are concerned about animal suffering, then the best way to prevent that would be to create and increase a demand for meat produced to high animal welfare standards. A lot of farmed meat is produced with great cruelty, but demanding high quality animal care in the meat you eat, would be a far better way to reform that, than total veganism. Most wild animals also live short lives of great suffering, so that turning over the land and other resources used to farm meat back to nature, would hardly be a reduction in suffering either. Perhaps the most happy and suffering free creatures, are those who are regularly hunted, since ( some ) human hunters, are the only predators who actually take care to kill quickly without suffering, and regular culling cuts down on the population pressures which cause the famine, disease, high infant mortality and other things which are the main source of misery in wild creatures. There is a good case therefore to be made for a, wild game and roadkill only, diet.

I eat little meat but I don't see how that relates to believing in an imaginary super-being,

I am vegetarian. I do not like to kill or eat my fellow animals.

I’m sympathetic to it but I eat meat, chicken and fish mostly but even with that I eat it sparingly.
I’m ill informed on how to maintain a healthy vegetarian or vegan diet and I know it. Plant based meat substitutes cost more than meat so it’s like getting punished for making the effort if money is any kind of consideration as it is for me.
Besides that piece of chicken in my salad was dead way before I considered entering the restaurant, it would be a shame and the waste of an innocent chickens life to not eat it.

I am not vegan (yet). However, I stopped eating red meat 15 years ago.

Vegans assume that plant life don’t suffer in anyway. There is no way to be certain that they don’t now is there!?

Take a look at the veg groups here to make an assessment. Near vegetarian., Not a fanatic, but I draw the line at anything that has a highly developed nervous system. I will eat a cockroach raw before I'll consume anything that can communicate suffering. As science updates, so will I adjust.

Welcome to the asylum. Enjoy your stay.

I'm never giving up my steak.

When I eat meat I eat fish 90% of the time. This is mostly for ethical reasons. Though I do not think eating meat is necessarily unethical.

I don't think you know what a "Right" is. You seem to be seeking equal wealth among all, and that certainly is not a right.

I don't eat mammals. I could live with just seafood and if l had to l could live with being vegan. I have found a veggie sausage and hamburger patty which l like very much. I am sure they will get even better at this.

I don't eat mammals, and I suppose there's room for improvement from there. Vegetarianism sounds doable.

ok this is just me. Dexter Morgan as a vegan tickles my funny bone.
For me - I eat at least half my meals vegan mostly for health.

Welcome aboard.

I eat meat when I have to, but mostly veggie. Vegan is a lifestyle I can't afford to live.

If the goal is the reduction of suffering of animals, the best things you can possibly do are not reproduce, and eat as small of a quantity of responsibly-sourced calories as possible. The categorical elimination of animal products from your diet is nothing but a banner that reads: I'm more interested in looking like a good person than doing what's right.

equal rights and equality. its a huge error to confuse these two. if equals ate equals, they would not be equal, now would they?

Me. Totally against animal cruelty.
Besides, red meat, etc., is bad for you.
Milk and eggs only.

Oh boy. You're one of those.

If ethical reasoning is the dominant determinant of human decorum then simply subtracting human is this sentient sentence's sentence.

I tend to eat meat like I always did before but I try to make better choices of it. My opinion of where Corona virus came from seems to favor bad conditions in animal slaughter and I have recently noticed that some bacon is not really fit for human consumption. Greed has done this to us. Everybody is competing to be your food provider now and not enough vegan.

Welcome to colorful Colorado, my ethical brother. I get to Pueblo once a month and have family there. Please let me know if I may be of any assistance to you.

My poultry enjoy their lives while they are alive. I enjoy eating them once I have slaughtered and cooked them.

The prevention of suffering to sentient creatures would including banning motorised transport, this to avoid the deaths of billions on insects on windscreens every year, as well as the banning of wind farms for the same reason.
