This is bullshit lol I've had rabbit that a friend shot and it was delicious. Animals taste great. If you go to a farmers market and choose a chicken then cut off the head, pluck and clean it, I guarantee it's far more delicious than anything you get in the supermarket.
You have valid arguments against eating meat, but this isn't one of them.
Maybe rabbit tastes good, then. I don't know. Beef, chicken and pork is exceptionally bland without some kind of seasoning.
Do you eat a lot of processed food or food with higher levels of sugar? When I cut out sugar, carbs, and all processed foods, I started to notice a difference in how flavorful foods that used to be bland to me tasted. Plain chicken or turkey has a very good flavor to me now, for instance. I also make my own plain sour yogurt and and it tastes much better than plain yogurt I've tried in the past before my diet changes. Not really sour at all.
tbh just about everything I eat now tastes a lot better since cutting sugar from my diet.
I have a god-tier diet with very low sugar and no processed foods whatsoever.

Canada isn't really known for having delicious beef. It's funny that you say that because we kind of are... it's actually a big marketing angle for beef companies up here. It isn't bland at all. Like I said it doesn't even need salt. This isn't just me, many people eat meat like this from many different cultures. Those countries probably aren't used to the overwhelming taste difference the curing process provides in the West.

For someone with a health condition like mine, eliminating meat would reduce my protein options to virtually zero. Not until they manage to create some edible food substance that contains the required levels of protein with minimal to no levels of carbs, starches, sugars etc. and make it commercially available.
What condition do you have?
Something called Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth.
If you wanna know: People usually get the beginning stages of it from antibiotics wiping out the good bacteria in their gut, which allows antibiotic resistant bacteria to start colonizing your intestines. It starts more in the colon, giving people IBS or even Colitis but with a very poor diet and general lifestyle it can make its way into your small intestine. Once that happens you can't really process sugar and carbs anymore because the bacteria (and fungi like yeast as well) feeds on it like crazy and it wreaks havoc on the rest of your body producing exotoxins and mycotoxins that circulate throughout your bloodsteam, which can give you all manner of problems like arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraines, muscle cramps, chronic fatigue and inflammation, depression and anxeity. Not to mention all the digestive problems you'll have.
You can eliminate it with a very strict diet, high levels of probiotics, and anti-microbial supplements, but you have to go through hell during that process, since killing the overgrowth causes it to basically release all the toxins it was slowly secreting in a much bigger 'dose' you could say. Something called a Herxheimer reaction. Which could actually really damage your liver and kidneys so you have to be very careful. People with other infections diseases like Lyme disease go through the same process and it can actually kill you if you kill too much too fast with certain infections.
So after a bit of research it looks like you'd be allowed some beans, tofu and nuts in your case. Lots of ripe fruits and non-starchy vegetables, with some honey to add flavour. That sounds pretty much exactly like my current diet. https://www.siboinfo.com/diet.html

Have you ever had meat that wasn't from a supermarket? I used to get beef and pork from a guy who owned a small farm and butchered animals himself. I'd cook it on a fire and sometimes I wouldn't even add salt. The fat melts in your mouth and it's extremely flavorful.
If anything the process industrial meat goes through makes it taste worse.
Yeah, I used to live on a street with a farm at the end of the hill and my dad would buy products from them. There was no noticeable difference. It's generally understood that unseasoned meat tastes bland, I don't think I'm saying anything too outrageous.

What're you trying to imitate Verbatim for? I'm not. Meat tastes like crap and the only reason it tastes good is because of the curing process it goes through post-harvest. If animals tasted like crap, there'd be no reason for traditional families' menus to be so reliant on meat. It's on the menu because it tastes good because it provides a lot of nutrients.
The meat on the menu does not taste like meat, but the seasoning and processing it goes through after harvest is what makes it taste the way it does. Tofu tastes just as good through a similar process. Additionally human digestive systems aren't really optimised for processing meat, which is why we have to cook it for so long. And even more than that, most meat is truly horrible for you on the same level as tobacco cigarettes and any nutrients you'd absorb from it can be found easily through other, very accessible products.

I am trying to give up meat.
No beef or pork, but chicken is too hard to resist.
Just remember meat only taste good because of the seasoning/curing it goes through post-harvest. If you repeat the same process with something like tofu it tastes excellent as well. There's nothing inherently good tasting about animal carcass.
I eat everything raw. i.e unseasoned. I let the food add flavour to itself.
Unless you're buying all of your meat directly from the guy who killed the cow, it's been flavoured already. Why do you think it tastes so good?
if this is flavoured, then holy shit what does it takes like raw?
Chicken on its own is literally chewy rubber.
Yeah, violently butchered creatures taste bad. Who would have thought?

The part about the health side effects assumes meat eaters all eat a grossly disproportionate amount of meat compared to what they should be. Ideally if one keeps meat to 15-20% of their diet (going by Australian research on the matter) it shouldn’t inflict any harm on their body. Most people do. In fact, even a little bit of meat consumed per week could be considered too much, considering humans aren't really designed to digest it.

Ok. What about us who eat in a proportional meat to veggie balance? I feel true omnivores are left out of this discussion
Eating meat really only represents negative consequences over a plant-based diet, even in moderation.

I'm sick of these people who are ignorant of facts--the kind that diss vegetarians because we care about animals or the environment. These fools have bought into the lies and propoganda put out there by the douche bags running the meat industry--the same douche bags who happen to be some of the country's most powerful lobbyists. There was that bullshit ad campaign that they ran a while ago: "Beef, it's what's for dinner." Yeah, beef's for dinner, but colon cancer, arterial slerosis, high blood pressure, animal cruelty and a destroyed planet are your karmic desert. Now this is how you start a fucking book.

It feels great to play but for whatever reason I never got super into it. The soundtrack is the best part for sure.
If nothing else there's a lot of heart to be found in it.

You can really see the specific animator influence in my work. The hair and muscles are all Shida (and arguably the eyes, too) but the shading is 100% Takahashi. I've focused on recreating the eyes from Shida's uncorrected work in moive 8 to a reasonable degree.
I didn't draw this, it's a reference of Shida's uncorrected work in Movie 8. The one I was talking about.

Trent Reznor is the main one, but Hideo Kojima, David Hayter and Shida Naotoshi come to mind. It's hard to say, I've never really experienced an impactful celebrity death before.
