Been vege for around 12 years now. No problems at all; every check-up I have, they say I'm in A1 condition and I am one lazy sod with little to no exercise most days. I don't miss meat at all and feel sick even smelling it nowadays. I love animals; it was a moral decision.
The food chain argument is thus, in my mind... the food chain exists out of a necessity for one species to live off of another. Eating meat three times a day every day is not necessity / it's not even close: it's gluttony / greed. Plain and simple. My best friend eats meat but only, maybe twice a week or so. He's not concerned about the moral side but gets the gluttony thing.
The food chain viewpoint I hold means that, if I needed to; and it were about survival - then I would kill an animal and eat it... but as long as I don't have to, I won't... especially if it means I'm better off and I'm not contributing to the meat industry, etc etc etc
- isn't the food chain argument about plants retaining higher energy because they get it from the sun first?doesnotexist
- then the cow eats it... then you eat the cow...doesnotexist

- Most of nutrition of an animal is in the organs, Organs were more prime cut then meat back in the day.yurimon
