What really doesn't make sense is why you would want to even take away one of the main food groups. Carnivores in the wild are constantly killing other animals to survive, so eating meat is NOT unnatural or "wrong" in any way. We might as well just starve if killing animals AND plants is "wrong", because you are killing the plants to eat them.

Also, we didn't evolve in an environment with an abundance of food, so being an omnivore expanded the choices humans had for nourishment.

If you're a vegetarian, will you buy a car that has leather seats? Or by leather shoes?

I dislike many different meats but I quite enjoy other kids, I don't like chicken that much or turkey but I'll munch on a teen burger any day of the week.

lmfaooo sigged.

Re: Any vegetarians/vegans on FFR?

I find being a vegan, without actually doing anything to solve the problems you perceive, to be... wasteful?

You don't cut a forest down from the canopy.

I'm not exactly in favor of how animals are treated, but I'm not going to stop eating meat to fool myself into thinking I'm doing anything helpful.

You're putting "quotes" around "things" that vegetarians have never claimed. Vegetarians don't claim it's innately wrong or unnatural to eat meat. They know it's one of the food groups. They know that we evolved eating meat and our digestive systems and teeth are designed to handle it.

"Ethical" vegetarians are usually so because of the way mass-marketed meats are butchered in north america and many other countries. Or they have a personal sentimental value attached to animals and don't feel like they can eat them, ala Buddhism. But this is a personal choice - not a choice that requires others to be "wrong" for eating meat. It's just wrong for themselves. And they are usually okay with that.

Don't let PETA speak for vegs - they are the loud minority, not the majority.

PS I read that article - 4th grade? That was about the point where I decided to be vegetarian, on my own, in spite of my meat-eating family. So.... that dude is really pre-emptive in assuming she was "forced" to be vegetarian.

Re: Any vegetarians/vegans on FFR?

I agree that killing animals is wrong, but what choice do we have? Should we kill plants to meet the same needs? Is killing plants equally as wrong as killing animals? Some may say yes, and others may say no. This is where personal interpretation comes in.

Originally I thought being vegetarian was a choice. A choice that makes you happy about what you eat. Apparently there are a few people who leaned towards this choice for other reasons, like the safety for animals. Whatever reason that may be, there really is nothing wrong about being a vegetarian.

Same argument applies to carnivores and vegans.

So is it wrong to select what you eat? No. Is it wrong to force yourself to eat veggies? That's up for you to decide.

So my point is, no matter what we choose to eat, we have to kill. Yes it's wrong, but it's necessary. It's like searching your way out of death, but in reality, you have to face it.

For me, I tend to strive for a balanced meal. You don't have to consume more of something per day, you gain a variety of nutrients, and luckily, I enjoy eating both meat and veggies, so you also gain the satisfaction.

People have been killing animals for food (and more) since God knows when.

So yeah, the other day in European history class we started talking about the taste of bacon, and my life-long vegetarian friend was so clueless. lol
