what makes us any better for eating cows and not cats?

you know how one or a few cultures hold cows sacred, and keep them as we do
cats (sorta)...and they would never consider eating them.... but we gobble
them up like it's nothing. yet we pitch a fit if someone eats a cat (in
china, etc). it's the same thing, but we can't see it because....why? it's
not because we're selfish or stubborn. maybe set in our ways?

i've been considering giving up meat, but i don't really have a good enough
reason. i don't see it as cruel to the animal, because we are designed to
eat meat. that would be like forcing a cat to eat veggies... they can't do
it, and it's not healthy for them. i thought about just giving up red
meat..or just eating fish and turkey (i LOVE turkey bacon). or maybe
telling myself it's healthier for me, but most junk food isn't healthy and
it's not meat.

so i'm still up in the air about the whole thing. i don't eat a lot of
meat anyway, but i just wanted to try it out and see if my body reacted any
different.
