The way people are making excuses for their eating meat like health and evolution and food chain, the same way the slave owners in 18th century colonies must've made excuses to justify their keeping slaves.Theology gets blamed because it is always a bad argument, regardless if it is on the right or wrong side of the issue, and far too many people think just the opposite: not only is it a good argument, but the best and final word (which, in terms of Judeo-Christian theology on the topic of slavery, is entirely accommodating).
Blaming either on theology is ridiculous though
