Vegitarian discussion

Lets discuss things about vegetarians - Don't let this one turn into the one that was in the sandbox!!!


I think that vegetarians are just normal people with a different lifestyle, I prefer vegetables to meat, and to be honest, if chicken was counted as 'vegetable' I would turn myself into a vegetarian.

What do you think? ~kat

Just a interesting little fact, the Vege , in vegetarian does mean vegetable =-p

You're missing out on all the good stuff. And any religion banning meat is idiotic. Why should you listen to some random priest telling you to not eat meat? DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH YOUR FOOD.

Just in case: It's called a personal opinion.

-But, some people have different opinions on food. Such as, my parents love beef/pork roast, I cannot stand it. It tastes horrible.
Vegetarians might think that Meat tastes horrible.
Once again, its a matter of opinion on people's taste.

So if a religion says, do not smoke or drink it is also idiotic?

Why are we talking about religions?

As for the main topic of the discussion: I eat meat. Why?
Well, first of all, it tastes delicious.
Secondly, it is healthy. (I'm not counting McDonald's.)
Thirdly, if were not to eat meat, what? Should we just wait for cows to overpopulate and take over the world? Most cows that get eaten by us have had a good life.

And besides, being a vegetarian is pretty unsatisfactory. The animals don't know anything about what they've done. Or more like, what they haven't done. Since when did vegetarians affect meat producing in any way at all?

So is this what it comes down into? No matter how much you boycott meat, animals die just as much.

@why we are talking about religions, Not eating meat is a belief, a belief is a religion in most cases
@It tasting delicious - Matter of opinion.
@Its healthy - Its not healthy drenched in grease, or all that disgusting things that make it fattening and sick.
@If we wouldn't eat meat - Well, of course like most non-edible animals (cats,dogs,ect) we would have to keep restrain on the population, spaying and neutering the animals would be sensible.

Animals may not know what they've done, but they do know pain, and they do have feelings. Have you ever seen, you take a kitten from the queen, if the queen does not know where her kitten is, and needs it, she will look around constantly confused, take a calf from the mother - the mother will know its gone, and will not understand why, which proves animals have feelings twords other things.

~I got to go. I'll be back later.

Whether meat tastes good or not is indeed a matter of opinion; why would it matter, though? You're not convince people to become vegetarians by saying, "Hey, it's just a matter of opinion!". It just wouldn't work. 95% of the world's population share my opinion.

Healthiness isn't divided between fattening and not fattening. Meat is possibly the best sourve of protein, and also good source for iron and b-vitamins. And besides, fat is healthy in moderate amounts.

And what could possibly be a better way to moderate the animal population than eating them?

And you said about how animals know pain and have feelings; well then, how do you know that plants don't? They are also living things, and I don't see why they couldn't feel pain and have feelings as well.

You do relise that the only reason there is so many cow, chickens ect is becasue we breed them? Overpop would never be a problem.
