I'm a vegetarian and have been since I was six.
It doesn't piss me off when people eat meat, as long as they don't shove it in my face or be obnoxious about eating it. I eat what I want to eat, they eat what they want and we don't try to convince each other to change. Fine with me.

This is exactly how I feel about it. I don't eat meat, and it's usually a non factor except for when people try to make a deal out of not eating eat. I keep my trap shut until someone argues with me about it. I'm not sure why it bothers other that I don't eat meat :confused:

Yes yes, I just love tearing up steaks when I happen to be out with ppl that are veggie. I also break their balls about looking pale and ask them a million health questions as to if they are getting the proper mineral supplements for their body. Most don't know what a supplement is haha.

Because it's a fad. Somehow it has become "cool" to be vegetarian. And the people who are vegetarian because they feel sorry for the animals are just silly. Humans are omnivores by nature... always have been, always will be.

The only reason I can think of that I can respect someone's decision to be vegetarian is to avoid all the unnatural additives that end up in meat like growth hormones... in which case, they should look for "organic meat" instead of avoiding meat completely.

Oh, others are bothered because it's a "fad." Perhaps for some it is, but not for me. For others to assume that, as you have, is asinine. You claim it is silly to not like meat because we are omnivores by nature. Hate to break it to you, but people deny themselves of their "nature" each and every day. I wasn't aware our brains and the way we think are totally enslaved by how our bodies function. If someone is preaching about being not eating meat and it annoys you, fine. Otherwise, mind your own business.

I've given up eating meat awhile ago, to me it was much much much easier than giving up smoking. I haven't smoke for some times now, but ever so often I wake up in the morning unable to get up and face the world without a cigarette. Days like those I just take a day off work sleep in.

Yes, I am sure that everyone choosing to become a vegetarian makes this life decision to appear "cool." Humans are omnivores by nature. I agree, although I do believe that when we have to cook meat in order to digest it, it implies that those meats probably were not meant to be processed by us. We go against many things that nature tells us to do. This is what makes us civilized. I have made the decision to stop eating meat because I do not agree with the way the meat industry treats the animals it slaughters. I also know that I could never kill an animal. I feel like if you can't kill your own meat, you probably don't deserve to eat it. So I have become a vegetarian. Why does it bother you so much?

exact reason why I don't eat meat anymore. The way we speed raise livestocks can't possibly be healthy and there has to be some negative long term health effects.

Don't be an ass. You said, "I'm not sure why it bothers other that I don't eat meat." I explained my reasoning to you. Why are you defending yourself? I don't care what you eat or don't eat... just telling you why others (well, at least why I) think vegetarians are silly.

Where did you get that idea? Links... titles of books... anything to back that up? I know lots of people who eat raw meat and don't poop meaty pink turds... at least not to my knowledge.

*EDIT* And if you actually think I assume every vegetarian is a vegetarian because it's a fad, you either didn't read my post, or you're trying to put words in my mouth to make your point.

Well your reason why was quite silly. People don't like it because they think I'm just following a fad? Sorry, but people that believe that are acting quite immature to say the least. To assume such and be bothered by my personal decision seems irrational. I can't question the reasoning because I've asked for it?

Have you ever heard of the dangers of undercooking certain meats? Perhaps if eaten right away before bacteria can grow, it is fine. Most foodborne illnesses come from raw meats and the bacterias that grow on them.
I thought I remembered reading somewhere that our bodies cannot process raw meats well. Though, admittedly, if it was from some pro-vegetarian source, the ideas are probably skewed. I'll look into this. Anyone?

Of course... but what does that have to do with having to cook meat to digest it? Bacteria has NOTHING to do with the ability to digest the meat. You're talking about having to cook meat to avoid contaminated meat. You can go bonk a cow on the head and eat every chunk of meat you can find on it and not have a problem if the cow wasn't diseased.

I think the confusion lies in the fact that I read your post, not the one before it. You started by saying "It's [vegetarianism's] a fad," making it seem like that is your opinion. I understand now, though, you were responding to Jman wondering why "others" are bothered by the fact that he doesn't eat meat. My mistake, though you should probably clarify what is your opinion, considering you also think vegetarianism is "silly" if they feel bad for the animals.
