Viktorkrum77 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I eat a lot of meat because it has essential protein and energy in it. I don't see anything wrong with Vegetarianism, but I personally wouldn't want to miss out on, mainly, this protein. Me doing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam_ross0 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I don't see how someone could be a vegetarian myself...I can't explain it, I just don't see how it could be done :-k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make7upu101 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I've been a vegetarian since I had the thought "this hot dog sure is slimy" and although my reasons for sticking to it have changed I haven't really touched meat since then. I can't offer any sort of comparison since I stopped eating meat at such a young age but I will say that I am and have always been a healthy, strong, and virile male. As to vegetarians being annoying... I find many hardcore "live for the cause" organizations annoying. You just have to take information from PETA with a grain of salt. On top of that, I find that alot of what kids (9-15) say annoying*. *including things said and done by myself at that age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjrox32 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I'm fine with vegetarians. I could never be one, though. Meat is just so good...especially steak. If a vegetarian says we weren't meant to eat animals, ask them what our pointed teeth are for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knives669 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I'm NOT Vegetarian and probably never will be. :P Just because I believe that humans were meant to be omnivores, meaning they eat everything including meat. I don't have any problems with Vegetarians unless they try to shove their views down other people's throats. Then they get annoying. :P But, if you just don't want to eat meat anymore, then don't eat meat anymore. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maleficus1055 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I saw a book in the library vegitarianism(sp?) for dumbies you might wanna get. I dont hate all vegitarians, just the ones who preach about it or say something like "i haven't eaten meat in 7 months" i mean i havent eaten a carrot in like 2 years but i dont go around bragging about it. and for the people who don't eat meat cause god created animals, if he didnt want us to eat them, they wouldnt be made of meat. people are made of meat... Mmm.....people I could never be a vegetarian. I love hamburgers. Tumblr. Follow me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigra00 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 People need to stop using the "We weren't meant to eat meat!" argument. I really want to know how the hell they figure that one out, anyways. A quick look at our teeth tells us that we WERE. Evolution or Devine Creation, it doesn't matter. Animals (humans included) with sharp canines and molars eat meat. Animals who do not have such teeth do not. This is true 100% of the time and is non-changing, so either way, we WERE meant to eat it. The popularity of any given religion today depends on the victories of the wars they fought in the past. - Me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknownmasterofnothing Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I've eaten a few vegetarian meals before and it is painful. Even with a variety of stuff, it seems like i'm eating the same thing over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayOxide Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I feel that animals were not meant to be eaten, but it is delicious, although I'm not vegetarian, I wont eat any 'cruel' meat. Eg, bacon : I dont need a siggy no moar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair? I still don't quite understand that, sorry. To give you a scientific perspective our teeth and gut are not the kind we see in purely herbivorous animals. We are omnivores. We can argue what we believe is right or wrong but the way the human body has evolved or is 'designed,' if you prefer, isn't arguable. @ raz, there's no need to be so hard on him.

Mercifull Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 You don't have to either be a meat eater or vegetarian. Just only eat the stuff you like and if it happens to be meat then so be it. If you like bacon sandwiches then eat a bacon sandwich don't just not eat meat full stop because you want to be a vegetarian. Eating a balanced diet is the key to a healthy life and while you can get lots of good meat substitutes you really cant beat a bit of fish and some beef protein. I eat a log of foods with no meat it in and there's some really amazing vegetarian dishes out there but I could never completely replace my meat with a substitutes, some of it just looks and takes like a cardboard turd.

IGoddessI Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Vegetarians are not happy people instead are deeply insecure and troubled I think what you meant to say was "I believe, vegetarians to be unhappy and deeply insecure people who seem troubled". Be careful with opinions and facts here... However, on topic if you have any steak, bacon, snags etc left over, just send them my way. I'll be happy to hold a carnivfest at my place, byo hehe The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.

Mercifull Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Also I want to add that [perhaps the reason why you've been going off meat recently is because you've been on the skimp and getting all your food from a large supermarket. Go to a real butchers, farmers market or a farm shop (probably not many around in brummy like there are in the west country but worth a look) and get some quality organic and local meat. I had the most amazing steak only a few weeks ago which I got from the butchers it was wonderfully thick and the knife just went thru it like butter and it tasted so great. Dont be tempted by the pork sausages for less than a quid and go to the butchers and get some meaty Lincolnshire's or something. Beautiful. Its local and quality meat that turned my friend back from a veggie into a meat eater again, its ethical and tastes delicious. Why eat skanky quorn sausages which taste like the box of a cereal packet when you can help your local economy and eat some tasty local food produced in a much more ethical way (save the slaughter of the animal, and even then will be done better than the way Tesco Value chickens are reared and killed for example).

Striker6 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 HOW can you live without meat? You can't, living off vegetables means only one thing, a nasty nasty death because humans were meant to eat meat. Vegetarians are not happy people instead are deeply insecure and troubled, please I advice you to seek out a psychiatrist your genes are faulty. You're joking, right? Vegetarians don't always suffer nasty, nasty deaths nor are humans meant to purely eat meat. We are omnivores. I'm sure there are some very happy vegetarians out there too. Yeah.. must be a joke. Edit: Here's a little food for thought. http://www.rense.com/general20/meant.htm Did you know that last year 12,000 people ended up in hospital due to accidents involving vegetables? No you didn't because you're to narrow minded to appreciate facts, now stop being immature noobface. source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakeitormakeit Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Well I have 3 friends who don't eat meat cause they plain just don't care for the taste but its not because they know its from an animal, and I have another friend who doesn't eat meat because she is all " th3y d0 b4d 5t0ff t0 th3 4n1m4l5". I personally believe its the food chain, we just happen to be at the peak. And it might be because you don't like the preparation of the meat anymore? I don't eat anything that is made in a restaurant and I want it from scratch, you could just be turning into a pickie eater like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more vegetables you eat obviously the more chance you have of having to go to hosptial (as those 12,000 people found out). Striker, you're a bigot, and that site you showed everyone about people being hospitalized for consuming vegetables is more or less not credible, and if your being hospitalized for it, its probably because you either choked on it, or are allergic to it. both of which can happen if you eat meat (the website is also lacking sources). Not to mention more people are probably hospitalized due to undercooked meat every year. By the way, vegetarians do not only eat veggies... Get your facts straight... haha :XD: I laugh at you.
