Discussion: Why do you eat meat?

Most posts here are written in a way best for sharing information, not to get people talking. So, I suggest we begin using the discussion tag to have debates and socialize. Sounds fun?

Meat eaters, how do you eat meat without guilt? How do you ignore the fact that you are making living creatures suffer for your own pleasure? It's no secret that slaughterhouses aren't usually nice places and that the animals inside don't die quick painless deaths. And doesn't it gross you out that sausage casings are made from intestinal lining, or in other words animal buttholes?

I'm a meat eater myself. I do it because I believe we live in an unfair world and it is impossible to completely get rid of cruelty. Even in the wild, animals kill each other all the time. The way I see it, no matter what I do, animals will suffer. So I might as well try to enjoy it.
