Whats a comeback to someone in a vegetarian debate that says -the animals will overpopulate the earth -plants have a nervous system as well -the ecosystem will not survive -vegos dont live as long as meat eaters -so are you saying its wrong for a lion to killa leopard for food? Pleaaase help!
-the animals will overpopulate the earth
Humans are not the only predator. Nature does just fine keeping the balance without mankind assisting it. Whenever a species gets overpopulated its natural predators increase in numbers and take care of the situation.
-plants have a nervous system as well
Plants are neither conscious nor self-aware. Even you recognize plant rights the animals you eat plants so meat eaters destroy more plant life than vegetarians albeit indirectly.
-the ecosystem will not survive
Will not survive what?
-vegos dont live as long as meat eaters
False, statistically vegetarians are healthier, more intelligent, and live longer than meat eaters.
-so are you saying its wrong for a lion to killa leopard for food?
Leapards are carnivores, meat is their natural diet. Humans are omnivores and can choose what they eat. While we are omnivores our digestive system is closer to that of herbivores than carnivores so one would assume that durring most of our evolutionary history mankind ate little meat A vegetarian diet is probably closer to our natural diet than the meat and dairy heavy diet typical in the West.

another point you might want to think about which I find very useful is the energy cycle. I am terrified of spiders but I refuse to kill them and a friend said to me "isnt it just the same as you eating meat?" to which I replied, no, its a completely different because as a result of my eating meat, it privides me with energy and nutrients necessary for life whereas if I just kill a spider because im scared of it, nothing comes of it.
I agree, vegetarian meals can be amazing for non-vegetarians aswell. you should be happy and enjoy the new experience. where as if you invited me for dinner, and only had sometime like chicken soup id be pretty annoyed the only thing I could have was the bread!! you can still eat and enjoy the vege food. its a shame that you try and get converted, but we get the same EVERY SINGLE DAY
all I know is whenever I have a vegetarian over for dinner they get pissed if I don't tailor them a vego meal. contrariwise, I have NEVER had a vegetarian cook me anything with meat in it. they just try to convert me to their herbivorous ways. shame on you...you're all hypocrites. ;)
There is a slight difference, they only eat vegetables, are you saying you only eat meat?
omg thanks a heap it really helps
