Ever heard a passionate, well-constructed, intelligent argument, but then disagreed with it anyway? That's exactly my dilemma after watching this powerful ad. I'm on the fence, which is super uncomfortable. Most of America has yet to be convinced.
If our ancestors had decided to go vegan, we wouldn't be here.
Meat was and is necessary for the survival of our species. The key is to ensure respectable hunting and methods of mass production. Poaching enforcement must also be strengthened.
We also must abandon our materialistic ways: diamonds and coltan are resulting in human death in Africa. Slaves labor in sweat shops making clothes for western "brand whores". Civilians are dying in drone strikes which are perpetuated by the need to control the oil trade. Our young are dying, coming back limbless, and suffering from psychological issues due to resource-driven conflicts.
All you vegans on your iPhones and iPads need to address the real issues.
The animals raised to feed humans need to be killed (slaughtered) before we can cut them up for consumption. With the exception of very few critters that we as a species eat alive (like Koreans who eat those live octopi) it is necessary to kill the animal. As long as it is done humanely there is nothing wrong with that. We've been doing that for 10s of thousands of years. It is natural. Taking a product like soybeans, converting them to unnatural states like 'texturized soy protein' and shaping them into meat-like replicas that taste like ass is entirely not natural.

Comments on video signs are hardly passionate, well-constructed, intelligent arguments. Passionate, yes. Well-constructed, hardly. Intelligent? Not in the least.
My view on the video is someone thinks they are so evolved as to be above other life forms. If a animal eats meat does this person think that it is wrong? How can someone be so much better than another person or another animal? I don't think so.
If we didn't start eating meat, we would have massive jaws with huge teeth leaving little room for our highly developed brains and forward facing, binocular focusing eyes.
Why are political vegans so anti-evolution/science? I mean, I am anti-industrial slaughterhouse, too, but I understand human biology. The evidence is right there.
