Why are you asking? It sounds like you think it's dumb to be a vegitarian. Dude if you really knew about meat and what it does to you and where it comes from you'd start to think more seriously about it.

I don't eat most meats...pretty much anything with legs. I'm not a member of PETA or anything. It's really a health issue for me. I have a predisposition for getting colon cancer. Its on my doctors orders that I not eat red meat. And after all these years I really don't miss it any longer. Plus my cholestoral is really low.

Vegetarian children are no more healthy than meat eating children. We evolved being omnivores. We are not cows. We do not have the digestive system to process only vegetables. Our brains need nutrients only meat can provide.
There are loads of articles about this. But the strict vegetarians act like they're the healthy ones and ridicule those of us who eat meat because we are 'poisoning our bodies' with meat. I don't slaughter my own food because I don't have to. Just like I don't change my own oil because I don't have to. It's easier and cheaper for me to pay someone else to take care of it all. You know, I think I'll go to culvers tomorrow and have a bacon butterburger deluxe basket. Two dead animals on a bun. MMMMMMMM. |

Not to hijack this, but here's a good starter article on 'the myths of vegetarianism'.
[url]http://www.mercola.com/2000/apr/2/vegetarian_myths.htm[/url] For too long mainstream society has meekly nodded in agreement when told that vegetarianism was a more healthy way to live, just like they nod when they are told that guns are dangerous. Thank God I passed through that 'low meat diet' phase. I'm much healthier and happier after ditching veggie burgers. |

Dude if you really knew about meat and what it does to you and where it comes from you'd start to think more seriously about it. nothing whatsoever in those eight words implies he in any way thinks it's dumb to be vegetarian. it implies he's curious whether there are vegetarians who read this board (and it's a logical step to assume he wants to know who) and that he would like to know their reasons for adhering to such a diet. kinda like when I meat (sic [:D]) someone and we end up getting some food. I might ask "so are you a vegetarian?" and if they say 'yes' I'll ask "why?" just because I ask "why" doesn't mean I think it's dumb. it means I'm curious why they're vegetarian. |

Everytime I think of vegetarians, I think of the quote....

Yep.[^] Out of a family of 5, 4 of us deer hunt. Last fall the 4 of us got 5 adult deer (smallest one was 120lbs field dressed) and we currently are down to about 30 lbs of venison in the freezer. Deer tastes good.[}:D] Oh yeah, my uncle raises some(about 200) chickens, and every year we go out there with our relatives, slaughter chickens, and buy/bring home a bunch of freshly kilt birds. (yes, chickens running around with their heads cut off does look weird) We also buy beef and pork locally whenever possible. So yes, I do know where it comes from. |

Maybe some of you vegetarian assholes can answer a question for me.
What is the purpose of hummis? I LOVE that crap, but don't know what it is meant for? Is it a "spread", or a condiment? Or is it a meal itself? Should it be "thick" or "runny"? It seems all the veggieheads i've ever smelled were really into hummis. |

Seriously, vegetarianism aint so bad. I feel pretty good when I don't eat meat. I was a vegetarian for a while and it did me good. I think that catholics actually have something there with the not eating meat on fridays. I'm not catholic, but I don't eat meat a couple of days out of the week just because I feel healthier that way. |

I don't have any personal criticism toward vegetarians. What they choose to eat is their business. That's cool. What I can't stand is one of those self-righteous, militant ones telling me I'M wrong for what I choose to eat. Responses to those include:
- If God didn't want us to eat animals why did He make them out of meat? - If we aren't supposed too eat meat why did God put the wrong teeth in our mouths? - Acts 10:9-13. "About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air. Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat." For those of you who are vegetarians and are happy with your personal choice, I wish you well. For those of you who consider me a murderer for eating meat, mind your own business. |

It's a royal PITA when I'm ashore because Mrs Pic went Vegan on me a while back.
I still eat meat and she'll cook me chicken and fish, but if I want any red meat, there's probably going to be a lot of whining and I end up cooking it outside, which is OK because I like my meat cooked on an open fire. Which reminds me, There's a pretty good sirloin sale going on at the local super.......Hmmmmm. |

Maybe I havn't met enough of em,but they seem kinda sickly. really? i'm 6', 195 pounds and can easily bench my weight. i haven't been to the hospital sick ever. i run, and play soccer and the only time i've broken a bone was when i still ate meat. my reasons for being a vegetarian are two-fold: 1. our meat based culture raises effeminate children that prefer to have the violence that their life-style creates hidden from the nicely wrapped final product. they don't have to sledge a cow, or cut off a chicken's head. i would prefer that the blood and the pain was seared into every bite of chicken kiev. 2. the current level of meat consumption in america could never be sustained worldwide. 40% of grain grown feeds animals going to slaughter ([url]http://members.tripod.com/mrparis/book1/chapter7.htm[/url]). you want to see the foreign pressure boiling and terrorists being born? take a look at your steak and your ford excursion. i've got no mercy for animals. i am the evolutionary winner. life feeds on life. however, as the evolutionary winner, i want to stay on top and the current obsession w/ meat is the sort of excess that brings about the end of an empire. i eat fish and game i kill in *moderation*. i get to see the eyes of the crab as i'm breaking its claws, i get to see the intestines of the deer as i gut it. i don't eat more than the environment can sustain, and i don't hide myself from the gory details. |

The old saying regarding "everything in moderation" holds true for diet. A balanced diet of meat, fish, vegetables, fruit and starches (omnivorous diet) is how our bodies have evolved.
The problem I have with commercial meat (and commercial vegetables for that matter) is the amazing amount of chemical stuff in there. It has been argued that the hormones in our meat supply are adversely affecting our evolution. I wouldn't be suprized. Thats why I try to kill enough meat during hunting season to keep the freezer full throughout the year. You know how long you can feed a family with just one 800lb moose? Man, that stuff is good, too. Yep, wild game is "Free Range" and "Organic" and killing your own food is simply how nature works. Going to the grocery store and filling up your cart with commercial vegetables is unnatural [:D] |

make mine a 12 ounce ribeye, rare to medium rare. throw a baked potato and a bud light into the equation and i'm done. vegetables/greens/grasses/other plants are either for enhancing the flavor of meat or for putting the weight on that steer so you can haul his dumb ass to the slaughterhouse.
but, you say you dont want to eat meat? okey dokey, works for me, but you jam that "poor animals, you murderer!!!!!!!!!!" shit down my throat and i'm going to make that ribeye a 16 oz'er and as far as PETA goes, i bet half of those nutjobs ride to the protests on leather seats in their FN BMW's and Lexus's and all that other shit |

"meat tastes good" as an argument against vegetarianism is just as inane as "i'm scared of guns" as an argument against gun ownership. it's emotional, and uninformed. you want freedom? this is freedom. and i'll fight and kill for my right to not like the politics of steakhouses and burger joints. |

Quoted: I know plenty of vegans (people who dont eat any animal products or even wear animal products, they don't purchase products ever tested on animals either). They aren't any different then the rest of us, other than popping supplemental pills. Ever heard of kosher plastic? $10 says your vegan friends haven't either. [}:D] I was amazed to find out that there are many forms of plastic that are stabilized with animal products. The plant where my father-in-law works makes plastic, and apparently they make kosher plastic there as well. It's somewhat satisfying knowing that your vegetarian friends, who care so much about the little fuzzy animals, are still contributing to their demise with their bottled water and consumer purchases. And back on topic, I think I'm somewhat of an odd case. I grew up in a rural community raising livestock for slaughter. I raised chickens, cows, and pigs personally and we grew all the vegetables we ate. Peas, corn, carrots, tomatoes (used to eat them off the vine like apples!), watermelons, and tons of other stuff. Then my dad died and I started going to urban schools. I fell in with the liberal hippie crowd. I did the vegetarian thing for my senior year of high school, but it wasn't too strict. I still ate meat when I felt like it. It was definitely a peer pressure thing back when I was a spineless hippie liberal. I seriously blame it on the fact that my dad dying. I did a lot of odd things back then because I was upset about hiim being gone, and it was only worse because he wasn't there to slap me straight. When I got away from that group of friends, I eventually became a real person and got back to eating meat. My biggest problem is the way in which the animals are raised and prepared. I have no problem still eating a steak though. I just prefer to know where my food comes from, and where I live it's not hard to get a cow for slaughter. When we get out of this suburban hellhole and into some acreage, I plan on getting back to the joys of raising livestock and growing my own food again. I still enjoy some of the vegetarian foods, like tofu (firm only), vegi-burgers, and what not. But I had no ethical issues eating that 24oz porterhouse cooked medium yesterday, and would do it gladly again today if I could afford it. Yum! Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas... |
