There's a trick to get this to work - so here's how to cut meat and be ready for the tasty animals convention :)

Here's the key trick. Remove the auto focusing sensor and focus manually. This allows you to get really close to your steak without the focusing sensor crashing. Be sure to count turns so you can put it back where you found it.
The problem is, steaks tend to be too thick to cut with a focused laser... So the closer we can get, the further we can cut.
Alternatively, you probably should pound the steak thin :)

It probably won't interest meat eaters to know ( since most are by default unconcerned or willingly ignorant about the calamitous effects their eating habits have ) that it takes 2640 gallons of water to produce 1 POUND of edible beef, or that over 50% of the USA's water supply is used to raise animals for food, or that raising animals for food is the biggest polluter of the water supply & soil, or that 70% of grain produced is used as animal feed, or that rain forests are being cleared to rear animals...etc, etc, etc...
There is no argument in favour of eating meat other than "it tastes good". That remains a fact, regardless of anyone's views on PETA, vegetarians or Ted Nugent.
Oh... Then there was probably enough for both you and the hamburger your neighbor ate.
"All muscle tissue is very high in protein, containing all of the essential amino acids, and in most cases is a good source of zinc, vitamin B12, selenium, phosphorus, niacin, vitamin B6, choline, riboflavin and iron.[54] Several forms of meat are high in vitamin K2,[55] which is only otherwise known to be found in fermented foods."
There is plenty of an argument other than "it tastes good". sure, you can get your proteins and such from other foods, but you will not get all of the different kinds of proteins your body needs to function correctly. Most vegetarians I know either have an unhealthy body weight, get injured easily, or are anaemic (iron deficiency). Those I know who are completely healthy do not NEVER eat meat, they just eat it on occasion, recognizing the health benefits. If you do not balance your diet correctly, you will have health problems. Although the way that meat is produced in the world is not necessarily something I agree with, meat is an integral part of our diet.
I actually didn't know any of that. Learn something new every day ^-^
Hurray! Vegetarianism!
"Your bog standard house pet also contribute to your afore mentioned problem, yet produces no valuable output (other than enjoyment)."
That's grossly incorrect. your bog standard pet is a better therapeutic aid than a psychiatrist in some cases. A pet can relieve stress and anxiety, regulate your heartbeat and blood pressure and even help us in our social lives providing companionship that we as humans need. Enjoyment should be simply be an added perk to all the benefits of having a pet... not the absolute reason for having one.
The urine soaks into the ground, the sweat evaporates and drool...... well I dunno. I believe 9 year old children learn about it and it's called the Water Cycle.
Granted to raise an animal uses a large amount of resources, but at least farm animals have a use (i.e. Food). Your bog standard house pet also contribute to your afore mentioned problem, yet produces no valuable output (other than enjoyment).
And I work as a Chef.....
We once tried removing wolves from Yosemite Park (because we thought they were dangerous), this allowed the elk in the area to live longer and have more offspring, those offspring then ate the sapling trees in the area, giving less ground cover for the areas around the river, which let the river bank erode away making the river wider, making it too shallow for fish to swim in. While all this is happening all of the old trees in the park were dying off, and since the overpopulated elk had eaten all of the saplings, there were no trees to replace the dead ones, leaving a bunch of dry timber to be ignited that could burn the whole forest down.
This is stuff I learned in 8th grade Biology, and there are many more examples. Remove one natural factor from an ecosystem and the whole thing falls apart, you create a break in the food chain that is hard to repair.

Any lifeform is edible if it is severely refined. Even some inorganic substances are edible if they are severely refined.
Iron house-keys and nails are edible, when refined properly...
Even the liver of the polar bear is edible when refined.
I assumed we were talking unrefined, since refined includes pretty much everything.

I can understand from a morality point of view (which would be a fundamental disagreement with my moral values - not worth dialog). But from a health point of view... No statistical significance in mortality rates.... But there was lower rates of LDL cholesterol and lower BMI for vegans...

In any case, I'd like to hear your logical decision analysis :)
