It's delicious and nutritious. What exactly is your question?

Is the taste and nutrition of it justified when it ends someone else’s life? There are plenty of other options for delicious and nutritious food.

Someone else? Anthropomorphic much? And there's nothing as delicious as meat. To prove my point, there's no artificial artichoke or carrots made from meat. Yet there's artificial meat made from soybeans and peas. Why would a vegetarian want to eat fake meat if it weren't inherently more delicious?

Is an animal more of a someone or a something? It’s not a thing. It’s a living being. We’re all animals at the end of the day.

I’m not denying that meat tastes good. I’m asking if you think it’s ethically justified to kill an animal because you think its flesh tastes good?

How is this political?

The livestock species now literally wouldn't exist if humans hadn't cultivated them long ago. Next you're going to ask whether humans should have animals as pets.

Yes, but that was before the advent of modern agriculture. Most people have multiple grocery stores within 15 minutes of them, all with plenty of non-meat options. What’s the excuse now?

The longevity of an action doesn’t define its morality. People have been raping and stealing since the beginning of time. Doesn’t mean it’s morally justified.

Last comment from me on this because you're either trying to bait or you have a hw assignment. Modern industrial agriculture is not nutritious nor does it taste good. Maybe if the produce was as varied, delicious, and cheap in America as found in many other parts of the world, I'd consider a few more meals without meat. Who doesn't enjoy a Chinese hotpot or Korean stew? But those cost a few bucks over there with better quality, yet cost 3-5x here.

However, nothing is as simple and affordable for fitness and strength than meat. Throw in some dairy for good measure. Not everyone can afford to be Hollywood vegan.

Potatoes and bananas are extremely affordable. If you think humans are meant to be drinking milk, I don’t really know what to say. We’re the only mammal that drinks another mammals’ breast milk. It’s insanity, just pushed by big dairy propaganda.

Well the meat industry is one of the larger lobbies in the US for one.

Hmmm, I will think on this while I drive to Five Guys to pick up my burger? I’ll weigh in after I consume my tasty burger.

Very narcissistic behavior. 3 minutes of sensory pleasure for an animal’s life.

You should see the animals I kill that I don’t eat.

Well, to start with, I don’t think about it as being a political issue.
As a practical issue or as a moral issue, I kill living beings every day. I sneeze. I do laundry. I use bleach, soap, and hand sanitizer. I’ve killed insects. I pay someone else to kill insects and to deter and deal with any rodents. My baseline — and probably yours too, OP, already includes killing living beings, so any “justification “ is really focusing only on which living beings get killed, and what gets done with their bodies.

Ask our ancestors who ate it and got us here?

Yes, it's "ethically justified". If lions and polar bears were smarter than us, we wouldn't be at the top of the food chain. I'll stop eating burgers when lions stop eating zebras. The great thing about being omnivores is that we humans have a choice and there is no shame in being a meat eater or a vegan. I don't shame either.

Lions eat zebras because they have to. You don’t have to eat meat. That’s the key distinction. I’m not trying to shame anyone. I’m simply calling out the horrors of the meat industry. I don’t think anyone deserves the kind of suffering and lives that we give to our animals.

Your heart is in the right place but this philosophical discussion isn't a political discussion and won't be at any time in the near future.

“Someone? ” — perhaps, but that should be an argument not an assumption. What other options do you have in mind? All — or at least most of — the ones that I can think of involve ending lives of one kind or another: Yeasts, living plants, the bugs that wander into the mix and get cooked and eaten as well, eggs…. and dairy is pretty gross and quite invasive— we’re just used to it.

Everything depends on your ethics standards. As Christian, we were told by God to eat meat. "Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you". With some limitations outlined in the Bible. But if you have different ethics standards then Christians, obviously you should follow your ethics.

I like meat and it is just the way the whole ecosystem has panned out.

I have killed and dressed animals for food.

I just decided it’s not my preferred method of delivery.

I can do it, though.
