hi! this thread is for vegetarians! i am a vegetarian and im loving it so post here your thoughts on animal cruelty or how long you've been a vegetarian ( if you are one ) stuff like that

 

[acesupercoolme]

I'm not vegetarian... and I see no problem with eating meat, even if every human stops, animals will still eat it. And I love meat, I eat meat all the time. There's no way I'd stop.

 

[BabyPiglet]

I wish I had enough will power to become a vegetarian. I seriously hate the thought of actually eating animals, but...I do anyways.

but just think how can you eat something that has eyes a nose a life and i understand im not criticizing you and i know this is your opinion but still it's a living creature. if you could eat a cow a pig then why not your dog. i know it sounds gross but if could eat a cow then why not a dog?

Well, some animals (like oysters and such) don't have brains. So they don't have a life.

It's just the taste. I've eaten tripe before, and it's not that bad... but I've also eaten horse, and hated it. I don't know what a dog tastes like.

1. Its natural to eat meat, its part of the food pyramid, so it isn't BAD.
2. I must have meat. I am anemic, and somehow, even though there is NO iron in meat, it kinda helps how weak I always feel.
3. Have I mentioned its a part of life? We have ALWAYS eaten meat. Its good for you, and very tasty.


Im not bashing your thread, so don't get the wrong idea. I just think its all a part of life. It also has good nutrients, that you need to live a healthy life.

 

[Babyjustrun]

Call me selfish if you want to.
I think meat is delicious. I couldn't imagine not eating it. Steak itself is just so amazing.

 

[reminisce]

im not vegitarian, but i do feel bad about the animals. also, i dont eat chicken; they treat chickens the worst out of all of the animals, so i guess thats my little stand

Because my dog is a meat-eater, and would taste horrible. Even most wild animals don't eat other carnivorous animals. Grain-fed animals are pretty tasty, though. =D

^ This is me, stirrin' the pot >=D

Chickens are also probably the least intelligent animals that we eat. I think it's much worse to eat pigs, no matter how humanely they're killed, because pigs are as smart as a three year old kid. I try to eat as little pork as I can, but it's not my fault bacon is so freaking delicious >=(. Thank God toddlers aren't as tasty =D .

sorry i just had too correct you
1. There are other things to replace meat for nutrition (trust me i get lectured all the time about me nutrition.)
2. Yes it is natural but is it really necessary? in the old days it was praticly impossible to be a vegetarian but it the 21st Century people we have other options
3. Ok it might be tasty but do you know whats in it? Sorry to gross you out people but in every package of chicken there is a little bit of poop.Most animal products are filled of stuff like E.coli salmonila and campylobacter so meat is in fact not good for you

Meat is very good for you. It's packed full of protein which is necassary in life.

That's ridiculous sounding, E.coli is not in most meat products.

a. I'm not a vegetarian.
b. I'll never be a vegetarian.
Reasons why:

I like meat. Specifically red meat. I looooove barbeque'd chicken, but man, give me a good medium cooked filet anyday.

I am not financially able to be a vegetarian. I'm on a very strict budget and fresh produce is very expensive in New England in the winter. Plus, I can't stand the taste of tofu.

I don't think that eating meat is animal cruelty, either. I define animal cruelty as this: The killing or harming of animals solely for pleasure and without purpose (ie: food/clothes).

Uhm,
Let ME correct YOU.

1. There ARE other things to replace meat, but its not worth it, It may give you the same nutrition, but even if you ARE a vegetarian, did you know that they put fish cells and other animal cells into fruits and vegetables to help them grow and last longer? So either way you will always be eating animals.
2. Yes it IS necessary. Those things to replace meat, are so fake and unrealistic.
3. So? Do you know what is in water?

AND

Excuse me, but its called UNCOOKED MEAT
When you cook it, it becomes editable BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN STERILIZED.


Not every piece of meat has salmonella or E. Coli.
That's like saying everyone on the planet has AIDs.

Actuallyyyyyy, red meat is a great source of dietary iron.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Really?
That's good to know!
I asked my Mom if meat had iron in it, and she said only if I wanted to eat liver so my Mommy told me to eat lots of beats, and wile I love me some beats, I need some meat.

Oh yeah, lots of iron.

My mom is also anemic and her doctor told her to try and eat red meat every night, as it was filledddd with iron. And for good measure, I looked it up to make sure I remembered correctly. Yep.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

What is considered red meat??

Obviously liver, but anything else?

 

[Pirate Me]

Basically, red meat is meat that's red when it is raw. Burgers, beef, steak, etc.
