Eating meat is PLEASURE and pleasure is happiness

Why would it be wrong to eat meat... pleasure is the most important thing in life if you really want to achieve happiness. Taste is a sense and all senses give pleasure... so when you eat a delicious file mignion and you really love at and ask for another piece aren’t you feeling pleasure? Then why would it be wrong to kill and eat animals if all you are doing is satisfy one of your senses that then becomes one of the greatest pleasures of life and that is eating delicious food. Epicurus a Greek philosopher that lived during the fourth century agreed that pleasures of mind were the most important to achieve happiness. Eating meat is a satisfaction in life a hedonist life, it’s a pleasure and it would never be wrong. After you feel satisfaction on eating one piece of meat ull keep on eating until you feel satisfied and your taste sense is satisfied… this would be pleasure for you and by it being pleasure and by being a hedonist you would achieve happiness … so there would be nothing bad at all on eating or killing a animal or whatever treat meant you give him if it is all done for pleasure. Jeremy Bentham my great instructor once told that hedonism was feeling pleasure toward any sense you could have as Epicurus also did so this is why I do believe as an hedonist person that killing a animal and eating meat would be achieving happiness because you would satisfy one of your senses… this would give you pleasure and pleasure is happiness.
