      Hmm. Is that because the truth disturbs you? Or because you think it’s not true?

          What about the tremendous pain they go through. Nobody would die without eating meat. Frm Newton to Tesla great minds became vegetarian.

          meat is still necessary - vegans take supplements to make up for that, so no

          Dissapointed too. Exactly what's "true"? And how is the idea that we should or need to eat animals not a belief? Clearly vegans exist, so

          The only statement @neiltyson has made is that cows has, if I interpreted it correctly, come to be by selective breeding. Nothing else.

          Interesting, so now we are breading "machines". This is commodification of living beings & gene manipulation but still living not machines

          Did human beings breed them to eat? Yes. That doesn't make them machines, only here to serve US. That is an absolutely ignorant idea.
