If you don't want to eat meat that's fine. However you should also look into where EVERYTHING you use or consume comes from.
Meat is easy because you can *see* the meat.
However animals are killed for many things you CAN'T see too.
- vegetable harvesting. animals get caught up in the machinery and discarded. you just don't see them in your veggies so they're easy to overlook.
- um cows. the list of cows are used for is pretty insane. it even includes toothpaste, mouthwash, medicines... It's just easy to overlook because you don't see a cow in your mouthwash. but it was killed and processed for "Glycerin mist".

Remember I'm not saying you should eat meat.
I'm just saying you should KNOW what goes into EVERYTHING you use, not just what's on your dinner plate.
However compared to the other things you've mentioned, meat is very easy to cut out of your diet. Just because it's too difficult to completely avoid products made from animals doesn't mean you should give up on consuming fewer. I'm vegetarian and it's very easy with very few inconveniences, even though the rest of my family eat meat.
i'm just pointing out that many people IGNORE other cases of animal death because they can't see it.
i mean cows still die for your toothpaste whether you eat meat or not. People just ignore it because they don't see the dead cow, they just see a nice pretty tube of tooth paste.
Actually no it's not. You can make your own tooth paste with baking soda and vinegar.
People just use store-bought paste because it's easier.
Which supports MY point. People don't see meat in the tooth paste so they ignore the dead cows, or try to make up reasons why it's OK for tooth paste but not OK to eat.
it's still a dead cow. Whether it's in your tube of tooth paste or a tasty meal on your plate
Is it normal that eating meat makes me feel sick?

i never said you should or shouldn't eat meat.
i'm just pointing out that many people IGNORE other cases of animal death because they can't see it.
