Defending eating meat

So I will base it off "solipism"
But I will expand it so we can only truly know that the human race have minds
Therefore its okay to eat animals as theyre not human

Thoughts?

Justifying eating meat is like justifying shitting in a toilet instead of a lake

It's because animals taste good

It's not authentic, real meat and i haven't tried it yet.

Yes but Cannibvl only states "because it tastes good"
Even if its inauthentic and theoretically tastes the same why not switch?
Yuh but if you want to be more humane then try the lab grown version one day

Why not just watch ai tv shows

Well eating meat - not withstanding my arguement- supposedly kills an innocent soul. Watching an ai or non ai show does not harm anyone.

My argument wasn't in the morality side of it but i'll add that we see animals kill each other for food all the time in nature and i think deep down there is an understanding they will need to be killed for the survival of others because of that, not that they accept and embrace it with open arms of course just acknowledgemnt of the outcome

On my previous argument, lab grown stuff for consumption is not what was intended for us by nature or god
Shit's practically alchemy and satanic in my eyes, we don't see how it's made or what with or the intentions behind it's creation and it's side effects
You might get the taste of meat but do you really know if you're not inviting anything else into your body

1. Yuh but were omnivores and we have a choice to switch to a herbivore diet to minimize suffering, If we were born only carnivores your reasoning would be sound
2. Thats true, but we werent created for the purpose of using the internet 6 hours a day either. Idk intention to me, is something you mold based on your intuition. Either science is utopic or science is dystopic.
But my arguement solves this, I posit only Humans have a soul, therefore we can eat animals, so there would be no "suffering"

Bush said:

Yea but thats not good enough for some people, also I could say
"Why not eat lab grown meat?"

Unless lab grown meat becomes cheaper than ground beef then I will continue eating regular meat. While I am not vegetarian I do believe that animals should live a happy life and be killed quick and painlessly.
