On the surface the question appears to be a reasonable one with possibly no challenge. Under the surface, though, there are a multitude of reasons with enough depth and breadth to a fill a produce aisle. The following are a few of the high points.
Are we really living longer than ever? The answer will surprise us.
Do we have the freedom to do what we want if it negatively impacts others? Most would agree we don’t.
Are we aware of the far-reaching collateral damage animal agriculture has our planet? Few do.
Do we consider the quality of life part of living? If we don’t, we should.
Have we considered the impact an animal-centered diet has on our pocketbook? We could all use the extra money.
Would we ever think that eating meat could lead to the demise of our species? Probably would never cross our minds.
Does morality and spirituality come to form part of the answer? Absolutely.
Can we imagine our brain might be affected by what we eat in the name of violence, war, divorce, and senility? The elements of meat also circulate above the neck.
What possible connection could there be between the security of our nation and the diet we choose to embrace? Connect with the answer.
Would we still want to eat meat if we knew it had an impact on our fertility, virility, strength, stamina, and attractiveness? Just got your attention.
And is it entirely possible we might want to give up meat because vegetarian cuisine is far more appealing and satisfying than an animal-centered diet? It’s not only possible, it’s a slam dunk!
We could go on with the teasers, but let’s get to the meat...or more appropriately...the root of the matter.
