Question: Is 'culture' the reason for eating meat? Let's explore the depth of this answer.
Answer: The argument that culture makes us non-vegetarian ignores the greatest truth of culture itself: that heritage is not in our food, but in the evolution of our conscience. Our ancestors' choice to stop eating meat was not the result of some profound spirituality, but a simple, logical conclusion--a journey that only requires sincere curiosity.
The moment a person stops merely following tradition and asks themselves, "Why am I really eating this?" they restart that same intellectual revolution. To deny this ethical evolution in the name of culture is the real hypocrisy. The question isn't what our ancestors ate; it's whether we have the courage to embrace the wisdom they worked so hard to earn.
In simple terms: The real hypocrisy is to adopt the habits of our ancestors in the name of culture, while rejecting the wisdom that was born from simple questions like, "Is this necessary?"
