Vegetarian?

[Myrrdin]

I just read a post, from someone, who said he couldn't understand how anyone could eat another living animal. I started to reply there, but it didn't really fit the thread. So i came here.

So if you're vegetarian, why?
Is it,
a) You just don't like the taste.
b) You think it's healthier.
c) You're concerned about animal welfare.
d) Your bit to save the environment.
e) Meat is just too time consuming / icky to prepare.
f) You couldn't eat something that had once lived.
g) Any other reason.

How far do you carry it? Milk products, eggs ? Do you wear leather shoes, Wool jumpers? Do you buy your dog / cat cereal foods instead of the tinned products ?
And if you were rushed into hospital with chest pains. Diagnosed as having a faulty heart valve and told the solution was for it to be replaced with a pigs heart valve. Would you accept?

Vegetables is murder too.

Bean sprouts and baby carrots are merely vegetable abortion.

I didn't do it..no one saw me...that's my story..

Vegetables is murder too.

Yeah it is but they will never catch me cause I used gloves when I strangled bob.

Man is an omnivore...we have canine teeth...if we were strictly herbivorous our teeth would have thicker enamel and be flatter and larger....

But my favorite thing to "eat" requires no teeth at all... just lips and tongue....lotsa tongue.

Um, yes, Thumper, um, what were we talking about again?

Right, veggies are murder (proper grammar, please). Absolutely, and cutting the grass is torture.

I have to agree with Thumper-bunny, man is an omnivore. I tried to go vegan, but it just didn't work for me.

Not only am I not a vegan or vegitarian, I'm one of those horriblle person who actually go out in the woods and try to kill something to eat.

I'm off tommorrow in search of a nice tender Bambi to fill my freezer with.

(PS I'm going to do my part to reduce the comeptition for the oxygen that's not getting released by the poor vegitables slaughtered by those hienous vegans.)

I do happen to be a vegetarian but I just don't have the energy to defend it right now... if anyone really honestly gives a shit... send me an email... and I'll tell ya all about it okay?

Later!

My personal opinion follows and everyone who wants to eat bambi, go ahead!

Actually there is alot of medical evidence that proves a diet high in animal products can lead to all kinds of bad things. I was a vegetarian in college when I was a silly young thing wanting to shock my family and friends, and the funny thing was I liked it. I still prefer cheese or mushroom pizza to pepperoni or sausage. I also ate some great egg sandwiches places where I would have just ordered a burger (and don't give me crap about the egg being bad for me cause it wasn't that bad). Right now I toy with octo-lacto vegetarianism, that means I eat dairy products and eggs, but no meat. I've found that if I limit the amount and type of meat I eat, usually chicken or fish no more than a few times a week, I feel better. I read in some vegetarian cookbook that if you remove meat from your diet you feel lighter and as strange as it may seem, I do. I also have less indigestion, diarrhea and heartburn. And to top it all off I lose weight without even trying. So what's not to love?

Besides, we killed the only members of the genus homo that were herbivores so, dang it, we're the superior species!
Now eat your meat, or I club in your head with this gazelle's thighbone.

I was a lacto-ovo vegetarian for 2 years but not for any of the reasons listed above....I happened to see a pig roast...the kind where they cook it in coals in the ground all day...anyway...when they took it out it just fell apart...it was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen...ugh! I won't even get into the smell. Anywho...it was to much work to keep up considering my kids & husband never converted...so now I limit my red meat & eat a lot of chicken, although I've been reconsidering that lately.

god this is weird shit...we are discussing our eating habits .....oh well could be worse

Damn another blonde moment

I was a lacto-ovo vegetarian for 2 years

Oh duh! That's what it's called! Maybe the lack of animal fat is causing my brain to shrink? I better head for Wendy's maybe a single will cure me!

I love cute furry animals.

They taste so good.
