I really don't see how they are strawmen. The vast majority of people do not need meat, the reason they eat meat is because it tastes good. Taste is merely one of our senses, why is it ok to kill to enjoy the taste, but not ok to enjoy the sound or sight? That's what the meme is getting at.
Nature playing out
Why is this an argument, when it isn't an acceptable reason for anything else? Rape, murder, thievery are all things that most people see as wrong, despite them happening in nature plenty.
One of the things that makes humans unique is our ability to consider logic and mortality beyond what happens in nature, because nature certainly isn't perfect.
The vast majority of people do not need meat,
you don't know what others need
I of course don't know what any specific person needs, but knowing what the vast majority of people need is trivial, it's basic science.
Please stop arguing is such bad faith in every response you make.
i'm stating facts, and you concede those facts, and then claim i'm arguing in bad faith. you don't know what that means: your accusation of bad faith is, itself bad faith.
You are stating strawmen: facts with no relevance to the argument presented, which you then point to and refuse to address the actual argument.
I never claimed to know what any individual needs, but you have started it as a fact as if that is at all relevant. It's not, because I never claimed it. I claimed that I know that the vast majority of people need, based on basic science and statistics. If you have fact which actually argued against that, then please go ahead. But unrelated facts posing as arguments are strawman arguments, and are bad faith.

we can all read what you said
What you're referring to as taste is in fact taste + nutrition
The more animal flesh you consume, the younger you die and the more major diseases you suffer. Google: "all cause mortality meat".
The more animal flesh you consume, the younger you die and the more major diseases you suffer
you have no idea what their nutritional needs or risk factors are
Well now, that's not entirely true. If you will grant me, at least for the sake of this discussion, that /u/dullbananas is a homo sapiens, then I know, to a scientific certainty, that the more meat this homo sapiens consumes, the younger they will die, and the more major health consequences they will suffer.
Would you like to see the several significant and influential studies, some of which span several decades, that establishes this as an indisputable fact or would you just like to keep coming up with the same pat objections that everyone who wishes it was okay to keep eating meat tries to use to rationalize the decision?

Hey all you modern-day meat eaters out there, raise your hand if you've ever actually killed an animal.
No one?
That's what I thought.
want to see a westerner have a full on tantrum? Suggest to them that their actions are not always morally neutral
