Thanks Unfan...and Conan, too!...for telling me your reasons for eating animals. Conan, your primary reason is the one that I've been thinking is the main reason people have, so it's good to hear that in my poll of two people this appears to be the case.

Unfan, I would say that whether it is people eating animals or animals eating us, it is true that various animals (and microbes) evolved with the ability to eat others, so either way the statement works. The interesting issue for me pivots on the question of "can vs. should"--that is, given that we have the ability to eat someone, what causes us to decide to eat that individual or species or not? How do you make that decision?
