Should we ban meat? I would say no personally because I like meat and we may eat other animals but isn`t that part of the food chain? Am I correct lions eat antelope or wilder-beast? I believe that is because of the lions` high position in the food chain. I would say the same applies to humans. What do you think?

Banning meat seems nonsensical, as meat contains valuable nutritional elements that are hard to obtain from other sources. In nature, animals eat each other, and there is no reason for humans to not eat other animals - however, given our technological advancement, we can refrain from doing it to a certain degree. For example, we could stop hunting wild animals, given how farm animals give more meat than we need. Again, I would not be in favor of outlawing hunting - rather, I think our culture should evolve to the point where hunting wild animals will be seen as being akin to relieving oneself in the middle of a busy street: it is just not something that people will see as appropriate.

Yes you can. You can put a tape over your mouth and nostrils and, with enough willpower, do nothing until you pass out and subsequently die, stopping breathing permanently. This would be a very impractical course of action, but, in principle, nothing stops you from choosing to take it.
You can even stop breathing at will without any external actions until you pass out, with enough training. Happens to people trying to beat the breath hold record quite often, which is why they only do it under constant medical observation.

The act of "burning" requires that the object of burning reacts with gas in a way that sets it on fire; there are many ways to cook meat and other food that does not involve any flame whatsoever, such as cooking it in an oven.
Aside from this semantic difference, while it is true that we do not "need" meat to survive, we have evolved to be omnivorous, and meat is a viable source of nutrition for us. And we do have fangs, the third tooth from the middle, that have significantly degraded over millions of years of evolution, but still resemble fangs found in other meat-eating animals and serve the same function.
As for your point about running, we do have the capability to hunt animals on foot. Our modern lifestyle obviously does not allow this; we are too physically weak and untrained to do anything of the kind. But if you look at the primitive tribes found in Amazon forests or in southern Africa, you will see that they are quite adamant hunters, usually utilising traps for convenience, but not needing them necessarily.
If you had grown up in an environment where you are taught from the age of 3 the basics of hunting and have to perform exhausting physical activities every day to learn survival, then by the adult age you would be a very effective hunter.

When we say that we get "burned" by the Sun, we use this word metaphorically. From the scientific perspective, burning requires flames to be present. For example, boiling is not burning, while capable of cooking meat.
We cannot get enough proteins from plants; we can substitute animal meat with, say, mushrooms, but plants alone are not going to cut it. You can eat plants only and survive, but your health will suffer significantly.
As for your point about us looking at animals and not wanting to tear into them, we also look at edible plants and do not want to jump at them. We are strongly conditioned by our modern peaceful environment to put many of our primal (and unused) instincts aside.
Granted, you can try this experiment: fasting for a few days. After that, I guarantee that looking at any possible source of meat will awaken those primal instincts in you, and you will want to tear into it.

It is true that we can get enough proteins from some plants, but we need to eat an ungodly amount of them to do so. Meat is much more convenient and natural. It is easier to raise one chicken, so you could have enough of it to last you a week, than it is to raise enough beans for you to eat seven bowls of them and get as much nutrition.
Do not get me wrong; I barely ever eat meat myself and am doing fine. I do eat eggs regularly, however, as well as mushrooms and cheese. I find that with time I care less and less about how the food tastes, and more about how healthy it is. I could easily have a diet consisting solely of foods tasting like cardboard, as long as I know that it is healthy.

I would say that humans can be much more brutal than animals in some rare cases (such as dropping an atomic bomb, initiating a genocide, etc.), but we very rarely resort to that. On the other hand, animals have less potential to be brutal, but realise this potential routinely.
The most brutal human is much more brutal than the most brutal lion, but the average lion is much more brutal than the average human.

2. Eating meat does not age us. Think of it this way: not eating meat makes us live longer.
3. Our digestive system is designed to digest meat, raw meat in particular. Can you think of another use of the appendix? No, nor can I.
4. Cooking is not the same as burning. Burning is the process by which carbon is produced. Cooking is making food more digestible.
I believe that as we have a high position in the food chain, we have the right to eat animals lower down in the food chain.
