there's a natural balance that was put into this world I don't believe that there ever has been a 'natural balance' nor that it was 'put into this world'. New life forms have evolved into existence, competed with each other and been completely wiped out repeatedly for hundreds of millions of years. There are 'natural balances' that exist for a period of time, some for days, others for thousands of years, but never forever. Sure, humans are undoubtedly at the top of the food chain, at the moment. There might be 'temporary balances', but what is a 'natural balance'? And who put these endless occurrences of temporary balances here, that all eventually get annihilated? On the other hand, as a meat lover I do agree that the way we produce our animal food is pretty disgusting. Animals do feel pain and fear and I think we could do much better in the methods we use to slaughter them. We have the technology to kill these living beings wholesale without causing so much distress and pain. I understand the argument that we shouldn't care as we're killing them anyways, but why do it in such brutal manner? Does it matter? I don't know, I'll still eat them. Would I pay more to know that they didn't freak out before the axe fell? I can think of several good reasons to be a vegan, but most of those reasons are moral and rationally make no sense. There are also a few valid health reasons but ultimately, I'm an omnivorous animal and I like my meat.
