I remember listening to a Teaching Company course on philosophy and something they said about Nietzsche stayed with me.
As I understood it, he said that we (as humans) are too close to some issues to effectively judge them philosophically, and one of the examples given was the eating of other animals.
I understand that people are a meat-eating species, but we can work around that if necessary. Does the fact that it's our "nature" excuse us from responsibility?
Just to add my current position: I'm a meat-eater.
