Has anyone asked them why they think it is wrong for humans to eat meat and fish, but it's perfectly ok for other animals to eat meat and fish?

I actually have asked a vegan this, and they say it's because other animals haven't evolved to the same level of thinking we have. Not a terrible argument.

I try not to actually talk to vegans.

I would imagine the reasoning is we are able to make a conscience choice coupled with the fact that we have the biological blessing of being omnivorous. I'm not vegan, so I don't know, but it's not that hard to think of the potential reasons.

My son tried dropping meat and dairy probably 2 years ago after watching What the Health. He just wanted to see for himself if he felt better and to see how long he could go. He's had a bit of deer meat and will eat seafood from time to time but for the most part has stayed away from meat and diary. He says he just feels better, wakes up ready to go without coffee and stays energized all day when everybody else is crashing mid morning. So anyway it's worked for him and he isn't douchey about it.
