You are not a real man eating no meat

In our society, we often think eating meat is something manly. Which is another time the work of good advertisement and probably also from history where the man was hunting while the woman took care of the child. Besides, I had the same mindset when I was younger. But most of us have never been hunting (despite for the best price of a piece of meat in the supermarket). So what is so manly about buying a piece of dead flesh in a supermarket and eat it? I don’t really see a difference between buying and/or eating broccoli or a piece of meat. I realized it is only advertising and highfalutin talk from man which also believe it. One reason for me to go vegan was the curiosity how it would influence my body and live and I didn’t want to support this statement anymore.

Because I realized it is way more manly to protect the innocent and weak than supporting an industry which is exploiting animals which have no chance to defend themselves. So neither killing an animal nowadays nor buying the meat in the supermarket makes someone more manly than not supporting this industry.

Who would you call a man or hero: The one protecting someone from getting murdered or the one who hired the murderer? If we take it on a human level the answer is pretty simple. And as we are talking about other living beings which also have feelings (including pain) and which don’t even have the chance to talk with us or protect themselves like we are able to, I think it is fair to make this comparison. They are more vulnerable and innocent than any other human. And everyone would agree with me that someone who is protecting a cat or a dog from an aggressive human is doing the right thing. So let’s not be a speciesist (read more about this here).
