Consequence 1: I do not want to be cruel to animals, so I do not eat them.
Consequence 2: (inverse of 1) I do eat vegetables because I do want to be cruel to them.

Makes perfect sense.

Shab – we (adults) have 32 teeth, over 20 of which are molars for grinding vegetable material. The two incisors wouldn’t qualify as canines in the mouth of any carnivore.

“… they are your canine or dog teeth, God’s proof that you were born to eat meat.”

You’re using God in an argument against vegetarianism? Oh, I forgot. You don’t believe in evolution.
