Human beings are omnivores* and so it is not unethical to eat meat.

(*our teeth are a mixture of sharp teeth (at front) for tearing and ripping flesh, and grinding teeth (back/sides) for chewing grains/veg etc).

However, this does not excuse us from the duty to treat animals in a humane fashion, which we should do always.

In my opinion balanced diets are the most healthy diets and I think some of the more extreme vegan / vegetarian diets, (with lots of restrictions etc), risk being unhealthy for those involved.

I respect other peoples life choices, but personally I think it would suck to be a vegetarian / vegan! But - each to their own.
