Talking Re: One plea for vegetarianism.

If you don't eat meat then the world is going to become over populated with worthless animals. This means that I am going to have to start eating the endangered species too. It's the only option, because if i don't the animals will be living in our house.

Please help me in my efforts in keeping man the dominant species. Eat panda bears, tigers, marine turtles, maybe try an elephant or two, they will probably be tough though. It will not take long to wipe those species out, they are already endangered. Lmao

I'm a vegetarian because I was brought up that way and don't really like the taste of meat, not because of some retarded moralizing

You don't belong in CT.

The only reason we have so much of these animals is because they are being BRED for us to eat. If you don't want so many 'worthless' animals on this planet, well maybe you and other people should stop eating them so they won't have to breed so many of them.

I guess you don't have a sense of humor.

Edit: I didn't catch this eariler, but the animals I was talking about eating are endangered.

1) Yeah, eating meat is natural. But is it necessary? There are lots of natural things we don't do... like hunting our own food and clubbing it. And there are lots of unnatural things that we do, like using computers. So what? "Natural" isn't a good rationalization for anything.

2) I don't like the taste of meat either. Tastes funny.

3) When I said that meat and dairy smell "rotting", I meant that EVEN WHEN EDIBLE they smell rotting. All the meat that we receive and the cheese that we eat and the milk that we drink and the yogurt that we eat, it all smells rotting, and that's when it's fit for consumption. Of course vegetables GO BAD, but they only smell bad once they've gone bad.

Vegetables are icky.

Seriously, make them taste better and I'll eat more of them. Yuck.

I eat like a tenth of the amount of vegetables I'm supposed to in a day, if I even get that much. Fun fact, I've never once been sick. Never caught a cold, never had much more than a headache every few months, etc. Only problem is that I couldn't fake sick from high school as a result; they all knew I'd never get sick.

The only thing I abstain from is medicine. Tastes worse than vegetables do and has far too many possible side-effects that I cannot ignore.

People can live without vegetables as a part of a regular diet. I am living proof.

~Squeek

PS - The vegetarian who works at the same store I do smells funny and is an insomniac. I blame vegetable-only diets.

You're right vegetables are nasty tasting to some people- and you don't need to eat them at all. Meat contains all the vitamins and nutrients that healthy cows eat.

I stopped consuming dairy products and my acne almost cleared up fully in 3 weeks.

I honestly don't like vegetables much. I love sweet corn. I could make an entire meal out of a cup of sweet corn and a pot full of mashed potatoes. I also like lettuce on turkey sandwiches and onions on hamburgers. Other than that, I usually won't eat vegetables unlessed it's mixed in with something else like fajitas, soup, or chow mein so I can't really taste it.

I love meat, though. I'll keep eating meat until I die.

If you want some tasty and healthy foods..i know this company that delivers Organic foods...im not trying to advertise but hey the veggies were really good, seriously. About food and acne...it seems like whatever i eat i still have acne. I've tried all the products from Proactiv to Murad but i still have breakouts. I'll still cut down on greasy foods. As for vegetables...i'd rather eat fruits for the rest of my life instead of that.

Digestion puts the nutrients from food back into the animal's body, so they're there when we eat them. It's true that animals metabolize food, but the nutrients from food wouldn't do any organism any good if they just passed through the body and were expelled as waste. Almost all of the good stuff is absorbed into the body and whatever can't be absorbed is then expelled.

Uh... it's not just absorbed and incorporated into flesh - it's utilized for cellular processes from which the products are excreted into the bloodstream. That's why you have to keep replenishing the nutrients o_O

Same here... I eat maybe 1/5th of what I'm supposed to (lots of juice though). I get sick every now and then though =(

Regarding medicine... I take it only in rare cases. On the whole, I stay clear. Perscription or not... they tried putting me on antidepressants when I went through my 'life sucks' phase. Kinda 'didn't take em', even though my mom (who's sold on em... and for her, I think they do her good) said she could see a difference... -_-. Meh... I don't like drugs.

Cept caffine. xD

That doesn't mean the nutrients aren't there when the processed meat is put in front of a human for consumption. Of course nutrients have to be replenished, but saying that metabolism completely eliminates those nutrients negates the whole reasoning behind eating meat except that it tastes rlyrly gud, which is good enough reason to eat anything, but we sort of die without proper nutrition.
