November 15, 200421 yr Hi, I was just wondering how many members of this forum are vegetarians, because I am slowly becoming one. I would consider myself Semi-vegetarian right now, because I rarely eat meat. Don't get me wrong, I know that meat tastes good, is the most complete source of protein, and the works. But I am not eating meat for many vaild reasons, mainly for the sake of animals and the way they are often inhumanely treated. I have always been a subdued animal rights activist, although I have eaten meat for the majority of my life. I am making a change, and In my opinon, I am saving lives, and helping people. You see, you would not believe how inhumanely HUMANS are treated in places such as meatpacking facilities, not even to start about the mistreatment of animals. Anyways, I am rambling, but trying to get a point across: Animals deserve better treatment, and I fell that we don't have the right to exploit them in any aspect. I have nothing against meat eaters, used to be one myself, but I hope you at least acknowledge my stance in this matter! Back to the point, lol...where are the vegetarians on this forum! :?: BeccaP.S. Even you meat eaters, let me hear what you think about meat and why you eat it!
November 15, 200421 yr I was just finishing a homemade hamburger when I read this thread. lmfao. Becca, you need meat to be healthy. Btw, you can't live without the bbq ribs from Swiss Chalet. mmmmmmmm meat
November 15, 200421 yr Author I was just finishing a homemade hamburger when I read this thread. I see. I decided not to put any details about what I have learned about the meat industry, I don't want you guys to feel bad! Becca
November 15, 200421 yr I like meat. Flame away cow.p.s. I don't think there is Swiss Chalet in Hawaii.

Btw, you can't live without the bbq ribs from Swiss Chalet. mmmmmmmm meatON the contrary R1Pp3r, you don't necessarily need meat to be healthly, especially with how we obtain our meat today (pretty horrible, don't want to get into it) You can have a healthy, balanced diet WITHOUT meat, but I am not saying it is easy! Meat has been linked to a plethora of diseases! I am not trying to convince anyone to not eat meat, just taking a stand for my position! Becca P.S. I never heard of Swiss Chalet!
November 15, 200421 yr I like to eat meat don't me wrong meat is good. My fav is buffalo wings :lol:But I do believe in animal rights, the way some places process animals is very sickening that's why there is some meat I won't eat like anything made from baby animals, that just plain wrong all together.
November 15, 200421 yr Kol_Klink]http://www.kentuckyfriedcruelty.com/ Watch the video "Meet Your Meat" Is that a joke site or for real? Btw, the Colonel pwns.
November 15, 200421 yr That is a real site. We have a big stack of mags at work and one was from PETA or whatever the animal cruelty group is called. So one night while lounging around doing nothing at work I saw this article and checked out the website. Mainly, it's a bunch of rednecks kicking chickens at the factory and it's pretty sickening. Ya, the Colonel owns.
November 15, 200421 yr Chickens are inquisitive and interesting animals who are thought to be as intelligent as cats, dogs, and even primates. loland, this is for you hand grenade http://maddox.xmission.com/bigpot6.jpg

Perhaps I will be healthier than you, though! Becca
November 15, 200421 yr well i am an avid meat eater. i love steak and lots of meat. the thing that seems to cross the line with most people and eating other animals is how much they like animal and how great they taste. cows are rather stupid and pointless. they give milk and when cooked properly taste fantastic. chickens are also dull animals but they taste nice. the reason you don't see dogs and cats in your grocery market is because they are both liked and they are rather intellegent. i have not eaten a dog or cat but who knows, they might actually taste good. i would also like to note that i do not feel sorry for the poor tortured cow or chicken because i simply don't care about those animals. it is a simple fact of nature that the best animals eat the inferior ones. and if not for human stupidity and easy influence then we might be eating dogs and cats right now. you can see it almost anywhere, the cat eats teh mouse, the dog eats the cat, the dog eats the squirrel (poor G's girlfriend's squirrel...), and on and on. the carnivorous dinosaurs ate the vegetarian ones, and it goes on... thanks to disney and your childhood most people grew up told that eating a dog or cat would be wrong, that is incorrect in my opinion but whatever... i like cats and dogs and would prefer that they would not be on my plate. so i guess what i am trying to say is that i am all for eating other animals because that is simple nature, dog, cat, cow, chicken, it doesn't matter. of course i wouldn't eat a dog or a cat, but if you did i wouldn't have anything against you for it (unless it was my cat, then i would destroy you). i could never be a vegetarian because i hate vegetables and rarely eat fruit. and just so you know, i have heard all about what they do to the cows and chickens and w/e but the fact remains that they still taste delicious :twisted: yesterday when i ate some tacos, i think my cousin was in it... man did she taste good though... cow is a cannibal :shock:
November 15, 200421 yr pffft i shall post that...... cause i wouldnt joke. i like BLOOD on my meat! crap, bring the cow to me and you can cut him right in front of me. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......... meat is gooD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-G
November 15, 200421 yr hmmm i have a couple of friends that r semi vegetarians, but i eat meat. Ya u can substitute things for protein and wutever but there is nothing like beef, poultry, and pork. I respect ur decision, but u gotta eat someting
November 15, 200421 yr meat? yummy! but only once in awhile, i eat beef like once a week, i mainly eat fishies and chickens. mm. lol. i eat tofu atleast once a week also though, its pretty pointless though since we deep fry it. lol. oh yea, and about eating dogs and cats, its pretty sad in vietnam.. i went to this one beach place and there was store that cooked and served dog and it was crowded like crazy. they feed the doggies left overs at restaurants just to get them fat so they can eat it. i think thats icky, but i guess thats how they were brought up...
November 15, 200421 yr i'm a junkfoodaterian. I'll eat it if its junkfood and not good for me but i'll take beef/pork over veggies any day of the week though. animals were put on this world so we could eat. u want to give them condos, thats up to u
November 15, 200421 yr technically, we're animals too, what do you think of cannibalism? lol. hmm i wonder how many animals actually eat their own kind..
November 15, 200421 yr black widow spiders eat their mates. think there's a few other species that do that also.
November 15, 200421 yr i am sure there are, or were, human canibals out there. it is just not socialy acceptable. rem the doner party?-G
November 15, 200421 yr VEGAN! Oh dear GOD!Not me man! I like meat RAW, COOKED, Semi-Cooked, heck it doesnt matter! I eat raw fish, fish eggs, whole baby octopus, you name it!No meat! Nope not here...NO meat well... that is just "UN-AMURICAN"!!!!
November 15, 200421 yr see, bulletface is the better girly here she likes to eat meat and accepts it, unlike some people (becca) i can completely understand eating dogs and cats because they are easy to get and there a tons of them. just because we don't eat them here in america doesn't make it wrong. they can be food or friend, you can decide that for yourself :mrgreen: as for cannibalism, i know of some snakes that eat their own species, but for humans... i don't think it ok, but there are always exceptions. like G might make a tasty meal, i like things to be rotten and disgusting
