Should dogs, cats, or horses be sold as food

Well, if we are designed to eat meat than why should it be "healthier" to not eat meat? Can you tell me the reason why we have those biological factors if we "shouldn't" eat meat? [If your stance is neutral, i.e. eat meat or don't; both are equal, than ignore it]

Yes, that's exactly my stance. Neither side is proving anything, so it's a pointless endeavour.

To point out biological capability doesn't furnish the concept with any degree of merit. We are able to eat meat- that doesn't mean we should (or shouldn't).

Then we have nothing to debate over.

More correctly; "We are designed to eat meat" not merely "able"; as we are technically able to eat shit and a variety of poisonous substances but we certainly shouldn't do so.

Just a question... In your view; why do you think we have those certain specific biological factors though?

A dog is a carnivore, but it can survive on a non-meat heavy omnivorous diet... Does that mean you should feed your dog food with very little meat or it's better to? No.

Why would you use a dog as a basis for discussion on meat eating and diet I would assume of humans?

So, we return to another point.

We are designed to have sex from age 10-14. Why?

10 to 14? really?

The point of that was on the "Healthier to NOT eat meat"; which there is no basis for.

Biologically, yes.

That is typically the age range the human body develops the capability to reproduce, not sure how to answer the "why" part; it simply is "our" biological makeup. Though waiting until the female is older is safer for childbirth as wider hips and a stronger body are beneficial.

Care to answer my question?

Well, it's the same answer, isn't it?

It's just the way it is. It's not proof that meat-eating is beneficial- it is just a capability that we have. In many human societies, meat is a necessity of diet, due to food availability.

No, it's not.

If we weren't supposed to eat meat, ie not "benificial"; then we would differ greatly biologically speaking.

As far as your "sex" question, we can have sex and we can reproduce much earlier than is commonly done, that has to do with ethics though and sex is more than just biological in humans, emotions come into play. And as your question relates to mine; the reason we do have sex and reproduce is because we are biologically designed too.

Who is saying we aren't supposed to eat meat? Jesus Christ, do you like the company or something?

Allow the debate to end. Everything has to have something additional tacked on.

No, the point is that capability doesn't imply necessity.

(That is the point, I am making it).

Flattering oneself...

"capability doesn't imply necessity" Correct, as we have already covered that people can survive on a variety of diets and I was not arguing your/that point.

I preferred the pre-edit wording.

Slightly more evocative.

Don't use a dog which has a signifcantly different digestive system and look to make any sort of reasonable comparison to humans and meat consumption.

More importantly, the phrase "healthier" is to broad of a subject to discuss in regards to this topic speciafically of meat being essential to us.

Again, flattering yourself; I do not debate for emotional responses from people. I merely edited; maybe you do this yourself?

No, you hang up.

Ok, I think there are no more points of contention, then.

As things stand.

Okay, since you said not to; I certainly won't... I used a dog as a biological example of how certain features relate to what certain animals eat; I could have used a bear, horse or chimpanzee with the same conclusion.

Meat being essential has already been coverd incase you missed it...

Using another animal and looking to equate them to human's biological needs is poop.

No need to attempt clever in that part of your discussion.

Tell me what about meat consumption is "healthier" even not even "essential" and you might have a basis for your discussion.

Huh... Dogs and humans (and every other animal) both have certain biological factors/differences that relate to which types of foods they are designed to eat. Correct?

Awww, is someone sore?

Not just a meat diet, (proper/healthy) meat included as part of your diet is good for you.
