Some people will criticize me when I eat a hot dog. "You do know you're eating a pigs intestines and organs", they say. I say that, much like the Native Americans, no good meat should go to waste.
When you look at the side of a box of vegetarian bacon, you will see the ingredients:

Ingredients in bacon:
I don't know about you, but all those ingredients sort of remind me of a meth lab. Why go through all that work to make a product that "tastes like bacon", but isn't bacon? What people don't understand is there is this thing called supply and demand. I'm demanding a supply, a steady supply actually. So a certain number of pigs are killed each year. When a vegan declares they don't eat meat, there isn't some guy out there with a calculator that takes two pigs off the kill list. Those pigs are still going to be killed because there are people like me with chest hair and balls that actually enjoy eating real food.
We are a species that eats meat. Our stomachs can digest it and your taste buds can orgasm from it. Who are we as a species, after all, to decide that we should break the natural food-chain?
Most herbivores have to eat slowly all day long and have a digestive system to digest cellulose by a fermentation process. This job often requires more than one stomach. Comparatively, most carnivores can eat more infrequently and will stay well fed for a much longer period of time after eating, This is a good thing because they can survive for a couple of days if they don’t make any kills for a while.
Stop taking human beings backwards on the food chain and man up!
