Eating meat in moderate amounts won't harm your health, either. Meat is
an excellent source of protein, some minerals and other nutrients.
And you have to kill to get it
Not a problem.
Well, unless you're a psychopath, it is.

Having to kill for your food does not make one a psychopath. We all
kill living things to eat, vegans included. Unless you somehow manage
to subsist on salt alone, everything you eat was once alive.

and it comes laced with residues of growth
hormones and anti-biotics and red dyes that the butcher adds to make it
look good, and heaven knows what else.
No, none of that is necessary, and quite a lot of meat doesn't contain
any of that.
Yeah it does. unless you buy organic meat, and how many people do?

In the UK that is pretty common, with all the major retailers offering
organic meat and produce.

No thanks I'll never eat meat again.
That's your choice. However, most of your reasons for not eating it,
particularly the slaughter of the animals, are specious.
Humanist. Caring people don't eat meat.

********. Humanist means one who has studied the humanities.

The only time caring comes to play in what you eat is when you make
certain that your food had a good life and was killed humanely. Easy
enough to do.

Since hominids have adapted to meat-eating long before Homo Sapiens
came along, I do not see any reason to alter my diet, especially when
doing so would mean having to take artificial supplements as vegans
have to do. That little fact alone reveals that a vegan diet is not an
ideal diet for humans. An ideal diet for any species will not need any
supplements, as the micronutrients are provided by the diet.

Garden of Eden (protection in balance) was destroyed by same selective
taking of knowledge
of good and evil, reasons for eatting meat conveniently , then when
fruit of this action
without considering the ACT itself,fell from the tree, it led them to
be forced off the desolate land they
gathered and hunted to death, and later with their goats in tow,

Like the meat-eatters in this blog they covered their shame with fig
leaves,


Meat eaters are not ashamed of eating meat.
