Vegetarians

I didn't read the whole article but I just want to say that I'm not a vegeterian.

I just want to know, for the people that are vegeterians, are there different reasons why people are vegeterians or is it because of the same cause ("to save the animal kingdom")?

 

I used to be a vegetarian a few years ago.

 

One of Maddox's best quotes:

"For every animal you don't eat, I'm going to eat three"



I found that site about a year ago...it truely is "the best page in the universe"...

:chemist:

 

I never tried being a Vegeterian.

 

I don't know when people are just going to accept it. Cows, deer, whatever meat humans may eat was put on this earth to provide humans with food. It's the foodchain. It's how things work, okay? And really, you DO need meat in your body to help you stay healthy. My stepsister was vegetarian, and she got sick, a lot. People just need to accept it, we need food.

 

I don't get straight-edge vegeterians or vegans. I kinda agree with HybridMinoda; animals probably weren't put on this planet to provide humans food but eating meat is natural nontheless. And I don't hear about animals being frowned upon for eating meat.

EDIT: Also, why the hell do some vegetarians still eat fish? Are they not part of the animal kingdom? Or is it because they aren't cute like lambs or chicks?

 

Exactly. No one gets pissed off when a lion attacks a gazelle, so why should people get pissed when a human kills a cow humanely for its meat?

 

i am not a vegetarian. and i feel bad for all the cows and piggies that i eat, but i think that as long as i am not the one killing it, then i am not responsible for its being killed. i do not have to eat meat, and i know that, so if there is suddenly a cow shortage it would not kill me.

i have friends that are vegetarians...but then again i also have friends that say they are vegetarians but go to mcdonalds for a big juicy quarter pounder.

i feel bad for the animals that die, but my stopping of meat consumption is not going to stop other people from eating meat, so the animals are going to die anyway.

 

My friend actually used to be a vegetarian.. hopefully she'll read this I guess but that's a very very good point I never thought of that.

 

Being vegetarian cause you don't like meat is OK. Being vegetarian because you don't want to kill the animals is simply WRONG.

And the hardcore vegetarians that don't eat anything that comes from animals (milk, cheese and such) have a problem...

The food chain isn't so without a reason.

 

My aunty and uncle are vegetarian but my uncle has gone veggie because eating meat made him ill and my aunty i think just doesn't like eating meat. They're not doing it to 'save the animal kingdom' atal.

I don't particularly enjoy eating lamb and such but it tastes nice and it's needed and if someone doesn't eat them then as Maddox says, they will get killed anyway.

 

I think people who think that killing animals to eat them never think about two things:

1- First of all, haunting is good 'cause if we didn't kill animals, there'd be way too much on earth, so if we kill them, why not eat them?!

2- I don't think Humans would have evoluated the way they did if they had been vegetarian since forever.

 

Most people are vegetarians because it's their religion. I'm pretty positive I read that somewhere.

 

I am a vegetarian and I barely get sick at all. I just don't prefer meat and how many problems there are with it these days (recalls, etc). It just isn't my cup of tea, I suppose. I do occasionally eat meat though, only hot dogs and like ground beef in tacos. Those are like the only cases I can tolerate it.

 

Who has tea with meat?

Religion, economics, personal decisions...

I made the decision to become a pollo vegetarian (I eat veggies and fruit, milk products and only chicken) because I don't really care for other meats. Plus I'm quite concerned for the animals and their rights.
