"For dairy cows, that’s usually at age 3-5, out of a natural 20-25 year lifespan"
Rubbish article with made up statistics.
But from an environmental perspective there's less methane if they're killed earlier...
-
Complete nonsense.
The article assumes that vegetarians eat more eggs than the average person, and yet there are no facts to support this.
Most people that I know who avoid meat for compassionate reasons also avoid buying other animal products as well, including dairy, eggs, leather, and fur.
I happily eat meat, but I have no issues with those that choose not to.
It's the people that don't bathe that get my goat.

The point i was making about Catholic and Atheist was that all atheists i know are very opinionated. I find them smug and annoying. They always seem to want to prove that they are correct in that religon is flawed. Don't get me wrong, i know Catholics and other religons do the same thing just not as much as atheists seem to do.
I had a friend who was an atheist. When i told him i am a catholic but don't believe in god he called me an atheist. I told him you don't have to believe in god to be a catholic and he said my understanding was flawed and i don't know what i am talking about. This has been my experience of atheists in general.
I know the dictionary definition of what an atheist is: "someone who absolutely doesn't believe in god". But my opinion is they have outgrown this and become their own little zealot cult.
Atheists are annoying.

I'm pretty sure those qualify as vegan already.
Either way. Vegetarians ARE responsible for the senseless killing of animals.
If more people ate meat, less would be thrown away and the death of the animal would, at the very least, have had a reason.
Eat more meat, suckers!

That's some very creative logic, but the market corrects itself.

I've got a good reason to eat meat. It's tasty.
By all means, if you don't find it tasty, don't eat it, much like I don't drink whisky despite knowing that many many people find it awesome.
And also I think it is fair to want the meat to have been raised in non-cruel conditions, and to be slaughtered in a reasonable manner (I'm sure all slaughtering is less stress than being chased and killed by a lion though). Another benefit is that the meat tastes better, often far better.
Meat, of a high quality, free range or organic, in reasonable quantities, will beat out cheaper, lower quality, battery meat, in large quantities. But most people go for the latter.
And by supporting the free range meat products, you encourage more producers to switch to that model of food production. It's even better than avoiding it, and thus having no effect on things.
-
Yeah, I'll just stick with the "I eat meat because meat is good stuff" line of thinking. It's simpler that way.
-
I eat meat because I would starve to death if I didn't.
My brain burns thousands of calories.
My stomach can only process a certain amount of food per day.
If I only ate veggies I would starve, unless I turned off my brain.

Precisely. I didn't eat meat for a long while because I simply didn't like it. But then my dad
thought enough was enough so he made lamb steak:

With garlic, rosemary and honey.
Resistance was futile. Very futile.

That's true for everything but food.
People in that business hunt as many whales and fish as they can find. Why would they stop for beef or pork?
@ChaosLord
That would certainly explain all the BS code my colleagues produce every day.
All veggies and they probably turned off their brains long ago.
EDIT: A recent blood test showed that, besides eating red meat all day long, my cholesterol sits at a strikingly low 94mg/l (way below western average).
So much for red meat being bad for your arteria.

Because they aren't paying to house and feed whales and fish, for one thing.

I think they would be fine with that, as long as you don't wash it down with milk*
*They might also be ok with that, as long as it's human breast milk.
