Meat eating is not a sin—it is simply ugly. The very idea of killing an animal when beautiful vegetarian food is available, is deeply unaesthetic. If you can justify killing animals, why not humans? After all, these creatures are our family—they are our brothers and sisters on the same evolutionary journey.

Maybe for you. I find it beautiful. Nature in it's plenitude. Unaesthetic?! Please, the sheer number of works of art made with animal killing as a theme, immediately renders your argument mute.
Hear, hear!

The question should be examined carefully at the nutritional and not aesthetic level.
I'm sure plants want to be eaten, that's why they evolved all those chemical defenses, no doubt.
Figures - a primate who sympathizes more with killing plans for food than other animals such as itself.
Every living thing needs sustenance. That would be other living things. The moment you expire you are food for worms too. It is the way of the world.
Beautiful, ugly - human concepts. Reality is as it is.
Our biology shows distinct herbivorous traits. Our saliva contains plant-digesting enzymes absent in carnivores. Our stomach acid is mild (pH 4-5) compared to carnivores (pH 1), and our intestines span 10-11 times our body length, matching other herbivores' ratio of 10-12, while carnivores' intestines are just 3-6 times their body length. Physical features like fleshy lips, flat nails, and small mouths align with herbivorous anatomy. While humans can digest meat, our digestive system's structure and chemistry match the profile of plant-eating animals.
This dude gets it!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
You do you!
I could name many things in our society that many of us find ugly that you may disagree with :)
But why shove that down your throat?
You do you! :)
