   'All', the word as used here, indicates a straw man argument is to   
   follow. Your logic is forced.   
      
   If I eat meat, I cause harm to animals   
   I do not eat meat;   
   Therefore, I do not cause harm to animals by eating meat.   
      
   or   
      
   I do not eat meat   
   Therefore, I do not eat meat   
      
   or   
      
   My doctor advised me to not eat meat   
   Therefore, I do not eat it   
      
   or   
      
   I do not like the taste of meat   
   Therefore....   
      
   or   
      
   Good meat is expensive so I stoped eating meat altogether.   
   I then began to enjoy what people call a vegan diet but to me it's what   
   now tastes best. It makes me feel good, plus the girls at the store I go   
   to are incredibly good looking.
