I eat meat because my dad will beat me if he finds out I am a vegetarian....naw, I'm just kidding, my Dad is dead.
Anyways, if I were to say there is any other reason than "It tastes good" as a means to justify the reasons as to why I eat meat, I would be lying. I eat meat because it tastes good; plain and simple. Beef Jerky, and Bacon are two of the top ten reasons why I live. Do I feel sorry for the animals that gave their lives so that I can feed myself? Yes. But I also believe that when I die, my flesh will help provide the nutrients that make fertial land so that plants can grow. If it were legal to eat humans, and they tasted good, I would. I do not think I am any better than animals lower on the food chain. |

I eat meat because:
-It's good and there is nothing else like it.(Tofu/soymeat is the devil) -I'm 6'4" and 174 lbs. I need all the fat and protein I can get. -With my metabolism, I need at least a little meat or else I'll need 5 meals a day. No joke. I personally have no problem with vegetarians until they call me immoral or something of the like. And kudos with the Maddox reference, although he kind of sucks now. ![]() |

And in case I forgot to mention, our soil would be exhausted in decades if everyone went vegetarian. So vegetarians actually HURT more than they "help"

Augh, if eating people were legal, I would go wendigo (sp?) in a heartbeat.
NOTE: Go watch the movie "Ravenous". It has sweet eating people music and will make you want to eat people. I certainly don't feel bad at all for the animals I eat. That's how life goes. I think it'd be honorable to provide another with nutrition in death. Oh, and Maddox will never suck. Thank you. --Guido http://andy.mikee385.com/ |

But why? doesn't do anyone much good... including you. Can't remember where this was from but, here's a nice quote: "For every animal you don't eat, I'm going to eat THREE!" The human body is supposed to be taking in meat. There are ways around it, but there's really no point. |

You need IRON and if you don't eat meat you don't take in IRON. Taking pills to replace IRON = Not good unless you have a disease that makes your IRON low like my mom has. If you do become as vegetarian how about going back ok? Your better off for your health period.

Do vegetarians eat vitamins? If they do then they can get much of the minerals and vitamins they miss by not eating meat.
I eat meat because I always ate meat and so I think it tastes good. If you grew up not questioning eating meat then you probably won't be a vegetarian.

I've never questioned it and why start now,I don't want to die earlier or starve or have to ever think about eating vegetables my whole life. That's just stupid talk. Vegetarian's are basically wimps can't handle the nature of the circle of life,go read up on it ..god..

Funny story: Awhile back, I got very very sick and hardly got out of bed for a few months. They didn't understand what was happening, and ran all sorts of tests on me but nothing turned up. Then they found out I was a vegetarian and assumed it was anemia or however you say that. They were like, "Oh, you're a vegetarian... stop that. Here, we'll test your blood and show you." And the results came back... Perfect, perfect, perfect. Perfect blood. Better than normal. I had the nicest levels of iron, protein, etc. So they asked me, do you take supplements? I had to say no. Needless to say they were very confused, but never did find out why I was sick. I got better. So that's my story on why it's not unhealthy to be vegetarian if you don't throw your diet down the drain. Just for the record, in case anyone asks, I eat a lot of rice, potatoes, grain bread, eggs... other stuff too but meh. Rice is my fave. And soup. ![]()

I think we are above animals, or at least, I would like to think so. I like meat because yes, it tates good, and yes, it is good for me. I have a number of vegetarian and vegan friends (being a performance major for my first semester caused me to meet some interesting folks.) and I have no problem with them until they lecture me about how I am a terrible person because I am eating a hamburger. I respect anyone's decision to eat or not eat meat, but I just want you all to know that if it came right down to it, I would eat a human if necessary. =)

Well Chrissi, you're not a real vegetarian. REAL vegetarians even refuse to eat eggs, because it comes from chicken.

Vegitarians are just a sign of a wealthy nation, where people deny themselves food.

ayanepuck, Verruckter is partially right.
Originally the word "vegetarian" meant the modern day meaning of "vegan". However, today, vegetarians are the ones who will not eat/use products that required the death of an animal. Vegans will not eat/use products that came from an animal at all. Hope that helps. Basically you're both right, but really, if you want to get technical I'm an ovo-lacto-vegetarian. Ovo = eggs, lacto = dairy. By the way, in no case can a vegetarian or vegan eat fish. If they do so, they are a pescetarian. Most vegetarians do not eat gelatin(e) but some do, which is rather odd, because it's identical to eating meat. I guess it's just one of those rules that aren't set in stone and most people don't research enough to understand. Most vegetarians also avoid leather and suede, some avoid silk... me, I avoid all of them. There are other un-vegetarian-friendly materials. Vegans can't wear wool. Myself, I don't think I'd wear wool either. Obviously no fur.

My honest opnion has to do with the human physical features and psyche...although I am not a psychologist nor a physician, I know quite a bit about history and physical make-up f humans. (You know history, you know how humans think)
The only reason humans became more intelligent than any other species of animal is that we had a genetic mutation that caused a weak jaw. A weak jaw that allowed more cranial capacity than another animal, therefore allowing us to build tools. We used our newfound tools to not only fight our way to the top of the ecology but also to fight each other, eventually ending ourselves. How does this relate to vegetarianism? We have used our knowledge to overpopulate, plunder natural resources, and slaughter many animals that we see as "lower" than us in order to feed our booming products of having sex all "willy-nilly"(Scott Adams). In reality it is much easier to consume plants and fungi only. You don't have to feed it anything except sunshine and water, whereas you have to feed cattle for many months or years before you can slaughter them. More calories for less cost. Benefit is larger than cost when everyone eats veggies. Extra money all over, which would ruin the economy if it happens too suddenly. So society and the world would be better off ecologically and economically if we slowly lowered ourselves into total vegetarianism. More food for less, and we could continue life as it was, bt without meat. Several downsides first. With a growing population we would have less land on which to plant all these veggies. Second, we don't have a worldwide government that imposes strict enough laws to change the world so drastically. In other words, we're smart, vegetarianism is perfect for utopia, and veggies can taste great; but it's no utopia here on Earth, it's Darwin's world. We are not the fittest physically, but we can make things that will obey us that are the fittest. Until we blow ourselves up, I'll eat meat for the sake of keeping the world normal. Q, a 14 year old freak of nature www.geocities.com/xanderman2064/Jim.html ahh, shitty archives, you know it's good. |

Because gelatine comes from cow bones, wich means you must kill the cow to get its bones (duh).
