Raped! Really.

everything eats something that was or is alive. ever looked at how brutal nature is?

humans take habitat for everything they do, kill trillions of insects every day just driving plus much more.

No excuse. I am a carnivore.

I believe in meatless weekdays- all of them.

I am looking forward to eating more veggies as the seasons wear on. Focusing my eating what's seasonally available is a good plan for me. We can only have plans that involve eating the same things over the course of each week, if we are getting some of our food flown in. Doubly true for many highly processed vegetarian or vegan foods.

I was vegetarian for many years. Unfortunately my body decided it it just wasn't going to play nice with that arrangement anymore. Still basically just use meat as a condiment. I usually get my milk from a neighbor whose cow is her baby. Even though I imagine dairy farmers exist who are indifferent, but I've known quite a few , and they all were very affectionate with their cows.. However, the commercial meat industry has become a brutal thing from start to finish in most cases. Unless meat is from a local farmer, the growth process is just nasty. Take a drive through southern Kansas these days and you will quickly figure it out.

Those billions of animals would never have existed except for our efforts. Facts are facts, and one fact is that we live in a world where animals eat animals.

Cattle are being raised all around me—I can hear them lowing out on the pastures. They are well tended and treated as the valuable assets that they are. Your assertions are not facts but propaganda.

I will continue to eat meat in moderation.

Not sure how not eating on Monday's changes anything in the meme. It may cut back on the profits of big agri-business, but they would still practice their businesses as they do. In relation to the meme, would be more inclined to want our systems which provide food to do it in a more humane manner as I don't believe that eating meat, in itself, is an immoral or unethical act.

I believe in better, more ecologically friendly farming practices, certainly, and I think cutting back on meat is a great idea. But I also think the idea of an entirely vegan/vegetarian world is unrealistic to say the least, and that it would behoove a lot of the more militant "activists" to step back and realize that focusing on that one particular outcome does their cause a grave disservice. Myself, I enjoy a good black bean burger (when someone else makes it) and most of my meals throughout the day are 100% meatless. I avoid fast food chains like the plague unless I am in serious need of sustenance and in fact I try not to go out to eat as often as I can, and most of the meat in my freezer comes from the Co-op, which gets its supplies from small (usually) local farmers. I think if we pushed for reduction and opted for small farmers with veganism/vegetarianism being offered for those that want to go the extra mile, there might actually be some progress made.

I eat organic, cage-free, free range eggs, and yogurt and nonfat dry milk from cruelty-free sources.
And maybe a little fish.
Works for me.
People who eat meat, chicken, etc. from agribusiness factory farms are Neandrathals.
Of course the practice should be stamped out through education and public policy. I think it'll eventually happen as our technology develops.
Never heard of Meatless Mondays, but sure, why not?

Nope

No red meat for me in decades. Going meatless has paid off in huge health benefits for me.

Well, everyone is free to do so. I'm also free to choose not. There are days when I don't eat meat but it's very random. It has more to do with what I fancy eating at the moment than anything else.

"Murder" is a legal term which (unlike abuse) does not (yet) apply to animals. It is also used by 'anti-abortion' folks to try to "stir emotions.

I believe in meatless every day.

I believe meatless Mondays are for others. Enjoy!
