What is considered to be meat?

Answer

Google define says it's "the flesh of animals (including fishes and birds and snails) used as food"

Answer

meat is the layer under an animals flesh...im a vegitarian because of the prossess of geting the meat, which is gory and brutal

I'm finding it difficult to believe that any living human needs to ask this question. However, meat is generally the muscles of an edible animal used by carnivores and omnivores for food. As to the gore involved in obtaining meat, my heart shrivels when I consider the wanton violence visited upon our leafy brethren by those who profess a facile moral superiority because they choose to kill and eat only plant life. Murdering a peace-loving turnip is not as benign an act as Vegans would have us believe. Think of this the next time you see some brute waving a potato peeler in one hand, and a potato masher in the other. Personally, I prefer to pay cows to eat grass and hay and similar materials for me. I just haven't the time to spend grazing myself. And when it comes to chewing a cud, I simply haven't the stomachs for it.

Answer

At least when we eat a cow it's really dead. Unlike carrots, which are only dormant and may be screaming in agony, for all we know.
