People Who Choose To Not Be Vegetarian.

[Lucifer]

I like eating meat, but if Vivi ever cooks me a delicious vegetarian meal, I'll go for it.

of course i will, once i've finished the marking.  and you can fix my mp3 player, which is suffering from DICS (Dunking In Coffee Syndrome).  anyway, you deserve something nice, with your new title, which is fucking hilarious.

AND AND AND She cant even eat chocolate, imagine the horror!!

no.  not even for an instant.  that sort of nightmare is completely beyond my consciousness to even dream of comprehending.  my brain has shut down...

I laugh at your horror, Hypnotica. Its rather easy to get rid of such pressures or cravings, whatever you want to call them.

I don't buy the whole its cruel to animals thing.  We're animals too damnit!! and for me to go more than two days without sinking my teeth into an animal carcass would be pure torture

[purposefulinsanity]

Meat and Eggs are almost pretty much the only things i dont eat.
Im not Vegan. I drink organic milk, and eat organic cheese suitable for vegetarians. For a couple of reasons.
Its also a little different compared to actually eating an animal.

Yes it is different and if you can afford organic then good for you for buying it.  But my point was if animal welfare was a concern in a choice to be a veggie how can you also support the dairy industry? (which admitedly is probably less cruel with organic farming).  Is it worse to kill an animal for food or to treat that animal cruelly until they become to old to be of any use?


Just to clarify I am not a veggie or a vegan- just playing devil's advocate.

its evolution, its the pecking order, and its the food chain.

If we didn't keep chickens alive in pens to be eaten by us, they'd have been eaten by other animals to extinction by now.

Saving endangered species/habitats, yeah I wish we'd be doing a bit more toward that.  Not eating animals = just sanctimonious masturbation

I agree.  This pecking order applies to walmart too, doesn't it Mc Jagger?

[McGiver]

that would be Mr. Mcjagger when you take that tone with me.

yes, you are correct, are you content to have walmart being the top dog?
stealing from the masses?
and keeping the common worker under their thumb?

we have ability to change our lot, as it pertains to walmart.
the chickens dont.

What I don't understand are the people who don't eat meat but then continue to eat eggs and dairy products.  Wtf?  That stuff is just as bad for you.  Maybe yogurt has some benefits due to the live cultures but pasteurized milks and cheeses are no good for you at all.

I also believe that most cases of Alzheimer's and other dementia are actually undiagnosed mad cow disease.

Or the people who think it's better to eat organic meat.  Like the animal doesn't have to be killed even if it was raised organically?

[Randy]

I suppose you did not find my joke funny. People think I am doing an AS thing when I laugh at inappropiate times, but actually its better than getting upset.  Laugh with Mr. Mc Jagger!!!!!!

Walmart can go fuck themselves, which they are slowly doing.

[McGiver]

thjey definately have the dick sized for it.

Meat and eggs and dairy products are good, and good for us.  Look at all those sexy people in the 'Got Milk' commercials.  This country was raised on cows and chickens, we should be proud of our heritage! 

Life's too short to eat tofu.

It's a lot cheaper...

i didn't know that (i've never bought meat). that really surprises me.

its evolution, its the pecking order, and its the food chain.

well, i see choosing  to not eat meat as evolutionary.

Not eating animals = just sanctimonious masturbation

hmmm..... i wonder what Happeh's views are on vegetarianism.

Oh believe it. Whenever I make stir fry, the meat is the easiest and cheapest part to get. Getting all the other ingredients is a pain in the ass. Scallions, onions, peppers, carrots, sesame seeds, potatoes, cabbage, etc. And I usually have to go to multiple places for the veggies because no one store will ever have good picks for all of them, or have reasonable prices. Most stores usually have different cuts of meat that I can work with so it's the only no hassle ingredient in the lot.

I understand your reasoning for being vegetarian but why are you not vegan if animal welfare and health are concerns?
