You're confusing "omnivores" with "creatures who possess free will." Nothing about being an omnivore means that I choose to eat either vegetation or animal products. My free will allows me that choice. You're using the fact that our bodies have evolved to ingest [i]both[/i] types of food sources as a terribly shoehorned argument that we have a choice to make with every meal. That's not what being omnivorous means. You're being an idiot. And it's a pseudo-morality, because vegans (as demonstrated in this thread) hold eating unfertilized chicken eggs on the same level as murder. That's ridiculous, because the two aren't even remotely comparable. Moreover, one has to demonstrate that killing animals of another species is somehow morally equivalent to killing animals within your species. If so, are we to hold wolves to this standard? Monkeys? Which animals count? Should we say that stepping on an ant is murder? Is it only manslaughter if I didn't see the ant? Again, humans are omnivores. That means our bodies have evolved to get nutrition from [i]both[/i] animal and plant sources. Does that mean we can't figure out ways around it? No. I'm sure you can supplement the hell out of your diet with all kinds of ridiculous foods, but that doesn't make it any less unnatural. Your [i]natural[/i] diet includes animal products. Period. If you'd like to argue otherwise, take it up with basic biology.
