Vegetarianism

[Will]

I could never be a vegetarian. I eat a lot less meat now because my wife was vegetarian for a few years. We eat beef maybe once a week and fish or pork once a week too. Not too bad. Some vegetarian make me think of some non-smokers. They look at you like you're the Antichrist if you eat a burger or smoke a cigarette. Not all of them are like that but I hate when they do that. Btw, what's up with the "veggie burgers"? Have you ever tried that? It tastes like plastic. And if you don't like meat, why even trying to prepare something that's so similar in appearance to a ground beef burger? Doesn't make sense to me.

I've been a vegan (non-dairy vegetarian) for eight years. I wasn't raised to be one, and all of my family members eat meat. But, I just wanted to become one, because I respect all living creatures. I believe animals have rights, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Oh no...u lot again

''I believe animals have the right to do this that yak yak yak''

Yeah, I BELIVE they have the right to tried by jury, covered by trade unions and given equal opportunities in all jobs

Give me a fucking break - their animals, as long as they ain't actively abused thats good enough

THEY ARE NOT FURRY PEOPLE

My poor steak....that cow could have achieved so much in life...it could have been an Olympic Skier

Also -

So when their's ants in ur house u don't use insecticides to kill them? When slugs destroy all ur plants u just ignore them? When there's a rat living nearby u just leave it alone? U watch where ur walking to avoid hurting bugs?

Oh wait...no u don't

What happened to THIER rights? What hypocracy!

I don't judge other peoples choices.

What a stupid thing to say! You are really totally indifferant to whatever people do? Sure u r.....

So, how do you feel about vegetarianism? Is it crazy? Does it make any sense to you? What is your opinion or theory on this subject?

Its absurd if its on your grounds of saving the poor sheep If you don't like meat fair enough but this stupid self righteous nonsense sickens me - besides too many times its done just to show off - 'oh i'm a vegatarian'' - NO ONE'S IMPRESSED

Izy that was fucking genius!! 

[Eeebs]

Hey, my best friend has been a vegan for 8 years as well   Prior to this, she had been a vegetarian for many years.  I believe if you believe in something, you should go for it... however, you should not impose / pressure your views on anyone else.  Live and let live, ya know what I'm saying? 

She introduced me to the wonderful world of tofu... mmmmm, very yummy stuff   When we go out, she has no problem if I eat a hamburger... she respects my views, and I respect her's.

If I can impress at least one person, that's all that matters.? ? Just kidding.?

I'm not trying to be self-righteous. I'm just curious as to how people feel about the whole vegetarian diet. I guess growing up with a lot of animals contributed to my choice of eating. We always had cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, etc.. So, forming emotional bonds to them had something to do with it. But, it's really been a combination of things. Like in third grade, before we recited the pledge of allegiance or prayer, we'd recite, "I will treat others the way I want to be treated." That saying always stayed with me. And, I do consider animals to be 'others'.

Here's a list of famous vegetarians:

Mahatma Gandhi
Sir Isaac Newton

I'm glad to hear you or you're family didn't eat your pets. Nice one.

What is the point of naming famous vegetarians? You realise that every other celebrity is a meat eater?


One thing that I find funny, is substitute meat. Quorn and the like. What is with that? You don't want to eat a dead animal, but you love the taste of dead animal,  so you just can't do without it? Are you thinking :yeah, this tastes like a slaughtered pig, I fucking love this, fry me up another baby:?

I hate the fact that I seem so against people that don't eat meat, but I'm not.

Whether being a vegetarian is right or wrong, I'm not sure. It's just the right thing for me. I don't judge other peoples choices. And, I don't try to get others to conform to my way of thinking, I'm just interested in different points of view.

So, how do you feel about vegetarianism? Is it crazy? Does it make any sense to you? What is your opinion or theory on this subject?

I have been a vegetarian for 10 years or so

For me though it was a health decision, not an animal decision. I believe that cruelty to animals is not right, but on the other hand there is an food chain to be upheld

And that's as far as my opinion stretches

going with the majority this time chris? shouldnt you be eating sauteed tree bark and beans or something that's unpopular? lol

[Chris Misfit]

Yes.

[Miz]

I believe if you believe in something, you should go for it...

Wow, what a great idea, I wish i'd thought of doing that before...



I agree with what Izzy said basically.

People harp on about how it's cruel to eat animals....somehwere along the line they must have missed the science class where they got taught about the food chain.  How the rabbits eat plants, then the foxes eat rabbits...etc..
It's the way evolution intended.

I can see the problem with battery farming and such, but there is free range stuff you can buy.

[Will]

Yup, only free range meat for me thanx. Wild Oats rules! That's more expensive but that's awesome meat. It actually tastes better! Check out their rib-eyes and New York strip steaks!

[SLCPUNK]

They are so overpriced.....

[Will]

I prefer to pay the price for good/ free range meat and just eat less meat. I am no vegetarian in any way but my wife kinda open my eyes on this stuff. It actually tastes better so that's fine with me!

[RichardNixon]

I'm a vegatarian. I eat seafood sometimes, but no meat. I haven't eaten meat in five years. I love animals...more than people

Did you go to school?  A fish is an animal.

[KeVoRkIaN]

Until I see a fish grow roots - I am not convinced over its honorary vegetable status......
Send all your coupons for meat my way - for every animal you won't eat I'll eat 3
I think I am a Carnivorian - I want to be the first on the board to stick up for the rights of those poor radishes....
Given the choice between Meat or Vegetables it would be "Sianora Celery"

There are many kinds of vegatarians. There are those that eat no meat but do eat fish.

Who cares? You said you loved animals more than people... yet you eat fish.  Where's the love?

Fish just seem to be mindless autonitons to me.? Fish don't care for one another or bond with anything. A pig or a cow on the other hand are beautiful animals, IMHO, and will follow you around.

Cows, pigs, chicken, cats, dogs, etc, have no hidden agenda. They will not try to steel from you. They will not lie to you. They will not pretend to be your friend. And they will only hurt you in self-defense. That is why I care about animals are choose not to eat them.

[Tj]

I don't eat meat because it tastes disgusting  I figure one of the main purposes of animals is to be around so humans can eat them though, so I don't have any moral issues etc., with it.

...well, maybe on occasions when they get slaughtered in sick ways, I have the same issues as a lot of people, but meh, I'm going to bed.
