What is the general consensus on being vegetarianism from a religious paradigm?
Here's a simple argument which predominantly pertains to why we should refrain from eating animals, feel free to tell me if there is anything that is disputed by Islam:
Every person with a degree of metaphysical intuition understands that happiness encapsulates the "good" and thus in virtue of doing so must be maximized, and vice versa (suffering = "bad", thus should be minimized.) This means that we are entitled to make choices that maximize happiness and minimize suffering. From a dietary paradigm, an altruistic utilitarian would postulate it's best to be cognizant of the multi-faceted "footprint" of the animal products they knowingly choose to consume (ie. the suffering and damage inflicted arising from those decisions). The expected value of the purchase of a product made from pork or other animal products entails a plethora of consequence (for example, but not limited to, animal suffering and greenhouse gas emission), thus making it contingently wrong to consciously decide to purchase animal products.
What is the consensus on this forum? Why do you (or do not) consciously choose to consume animal products? Thank you!
