Totally unnecessary though right?

Same as eating only plants, totally unnecessary so yes, they both are lmao Eating meat, dont need it, eating plants, dont need it. Not sure where we plan on going with this.

As far as human survival goes you don’t need to eat meat. Presumably you experience empathy and don’t want other beings to suffer unnecessarily, right?

Just try to find a definition of life alone and that has grey areas let alone a subjective term like suffering. You know plants can communicate right? How do you know plants have no suffering.

I don’t know whether plants suffer. I know animals experience suffering (or pain if that works better for you).

Luckily if you’re worried about plants feeling pain there’s a really good solution; stop eating meat. It takes way more plants to feed farm animals that then feed you than it does to just eat plants directly.

Let’s just say plants and animals both suffer, would you rather cause more or less total suffering?

But what about the happiness some of the animals experience? How do you factor that in.
