This is way to important of a game for the refs to be giving away touchdowns . <| sep |> 7 years too late <| sep |> TLDR of the video The question posed is What ' s the difference between humans and animals that makes it permissible to kill animals for food ? . In short , the video goes through a pretty good exhaustive list bad reasons people often give . My takeThe only potential justification for killing an animal for food is for the sake of health . MAYBE the proteins and other nutrients in meat is necessarily part of a good human diet . I ' m not entirely convinced , I ' ve been vegetarian for ~ 2 . 5 years and vegan ' ish for a year and I feel pretty good . For the moment let ' s assume that meat is part of a healthy human diet . That leaves me w two comments to make . 1 Animals should be treated well . They should live good lives . Whether or not it ' s morally justifiable to kill animals for food is a complicated question . Whether animals should be treated well is obvious , you know it , do the right thing . 2 You should only eat JUST enough meat to satisfy health requirements . The weight of an animals life is greater than your gustatory desires . In other words , your like for the taste of meat doesn ' t justify killing an animal . Most people use a speciesist argument for eating meat . Speciesism uses the same logic as racism . I really think prosperity will look back at us in disgust . At least seriously consider this moral issue .
