Bin grad zufällig über die Seite eines Vegetariers gestolpert und fand den folgenden Vergleich so witzig dass ich ihn teilen möchte: (Hervorhebung von mir)

To me, the evidence that we are built to hunt and eat meat is pretty convincing.

Does that mean we should eat meat at every meal? No. But does it mean we should eat meat sometimes?

If your only goal is health, I’d say you’d do well to eat an occasional piece of fish, or even wild land animals. It would certainly make getting an optimal Paleo balance of nutrients easier.

But let’s not forget that by the same argument, males are “built” to impregnate as many women as possible. That’s what would maximize the chances of having ones genes propagate, and probably still would today.

But most of us don’t do that anymore, because as a species we’re beyond that. And that’s how I feel about eating animals. Even if it’s what we’re built to do because eating them helped us survive and thrive in the past, it’s something most of us are now capable of making a choice not to do, thanks to our advancement as a civilization.

(Ich füge sicherheitshalber hinzu, dass ich selbst absolut nicht Vegetarierin bin, aber eine Entscheidung zum Vegetarismus aus ethischen Gründen zumindest ansatzweise verstehen kann.)
