Is it more ethical to be vegan?

I guess, it depends what religion you have. Some religions don't allow eating meat. Roman Catholics are allowed. When you are on a diet, it is best to eat veggies. I guess, it's not with what we eat but with what we practice. Some animals are here to serve a purpose. We might not be able to understand why some religions don't allow eating meat but they have their own reasons. As for me, I do eat but in moderation.

The vegan activist that spoke to you went about it wrong. To be so offensive as to say "meat-eaters have a god complex" isn't a very good way to spread the word of veganism. Nearly every vegan has been omni at one point or another. As far as that goes, though, I think that once someone is fully and completely aware of what goes on in factory farms, once they've seen it, once they KNOW what it happening and they still make the decision to eat meat...it's a matter of self-discipline. My position on eating plants is that as far as we know, they don't have central nervous systems...they don't bleed or cry, they don't cradle or nurse their young, and they don't have emotions. Aside from that...I need to eat plants to live. I don't need to eat meat to live.
