I don't understand vegetarians. Meat is tasty and good. Is it okay to kill animals for meat?

Yes, it is okay to kill animals for meat. Eating meat is part of many cultures and diets, and plenty of people enjoy the taste of meat. For some individuals, however, the decision to become a vegetarian is based on moral, ethical, or health reasons. This doesn't mean they don't still appreciate the flavor and convenience of meat, they just decide to abstain from eating it. Some vegetarians still consume animal products and may define themselves as “flexitarian” or “semi-vegetarian.” For these individuals, it is still fine to kill animals for meat, and other non-vegetarian choices are simply an optional part of their diet.

Regardless of the reasoning for abstaining from meat, many vegetarians still consume food items that include animal derived ingredients, such as cheese, eggs, and even wines and other beverages. This still allows for a nutritionally-sound diet and does not require the individual to compromise their personal lifestyle. Additionally, there are also multiple options available for protein and other necessary vitamins and minerals that can be easily incorporated into the vegan or vegetarian lifestyle. In short, there are a variety of reasons why people may decide to eat vegetarian, and none of it means that someone necessarily cannot appreciate the flavor of meat.
