Vegetarians suck.

[veggiefrog]

i've been veggie for about 10yrs now.... i used to be a militant vegetarian but now i dont care what ppl eat as long as they show me the same respect.
vegetarianism is much more wide spread in the uk compared to the us (wider selection in the supermarket and in a restaurant), and the meat alternatives have come a looooong way in the past decade. while i do miss meat a lot sometimes (i was a big chicken fan), there *is* something to be said for not having fat/grease in ur meal (layer of grease in a pasta sauce or gristle pieces or something).

and humans are omnivores; if we were supposed to eat an entirely meat-based diet we'd have short intestines to digest the meat instead of the long winding ones that we do.

Besides that... how can you NOT enjoy a nice big juicy steak?

omnivores, you fool. cats are carnivores. people. cats. i know, i know. they look really similar. but trust me, there's a difference. something to do with body hair and molars and fixed ears.

as for the steak thing, i think for lots of them it has less to do with the steak and more to do with the crappy life of the animal it came from.

for me, my pleasure in eating meat outweighes my guilt about where it came from. *shamefully orders a burger*

meat may taste great but veggies are better for your health :\\\\\\

Rubbish. Meat is just as healthy as veggies. I personally detest vegetables with a passion (except potatoes and raw carrots), and I've never been sick in my life.

Out of curiosity, what about body hair? I can understand molars & fixed ears.

And what's this "guilt" you speak of?

Why are vegetarians/vegans so prone to vitamin/mineral deficiencies if it's so healthy?

 

[TitanDiddly]

I love how PETA calls people who eat meat 'carnivores'. Yeah, we eat meat and nothing else. I mean, for an orgainization the size that they are, I think somebody there could know that it's 'omnivores'. Or, in my case, 'pwnivore'.

 

[RobCur]

the problem with meat is that it isn't natural anymore and neither is vegetable sold in super market
a very confusing world, i may need to grow my own vegetable to be even more healthy then the peta organization

 

[waggy]

hmm meat.

i don't understand when paople say they don't eat meat because it was a living thing. I always point out that apples, beans etc are living things also. of course they say its diffrent you can't tell a plant is alive!


i have only had a few bad run ins with vegans. While out at a bar i ordered a hamburger medium well when a skinny blonde said that eating meat is bad and proceded to tell me how they abuse the cows before hand. I just said yeap and i thank the butchers who do it and took a bite of the burger. she got all mad.

I don't care if you are a vegan. just do NOT push it on me and i won't make you eat a burger.

vegetarian is an understandable diet, but vegan is just plain stupid. why make imitation meat products specifically for vegans? JUST EAT MEAT! they think its wrong to eat animal products, but obviously they have some sort of desire for a juicy hunk of meat when u see them buy boca burgers or whatever.

vegetarian = ok, but vegan is just retarded.

[Vonkhan]

WTH is a vegan? Can I eat one? Do they taste good?

Not some kind of a vegitable, is it now?

I'll have mine grilled, medium-rare please

 

[bonkers325]

vegans are vegetarians that have NOTHING to do with animal products.

some vegetarians eat cheese and drink milk and stuff

Just order it well done![/quote]

I for one, hate steak.. so sick, big bloody, bad for you, sick.

I do however like Poultry and things like lunchmeat (subs and stuff)

but eating raw beef is nasty IMO![/quote]
How can you say steak is bad, but then claim to like lunchmeat? Lunchmeat is everything left over that you wouldn't normally eat, not to mention that it's usually loaded with chemicals.[/quote]

Not to mention it is just plain nasty[/quote]

The steak has chemicals too, whats your point?

That site cracks me up. I've been around the poultry/cattle business all my life and have never seen conditions such as the ones they talk about.

I think I'll go make some steak and eggs for breakfast! :thumbsup:

Been around the pork industry at all?

I just enjoy the fact that something died so that I could eat. Same thing with leather seats and clothing. It makes me feel like a big man.

Funny thing is, I don't see anybody complaining about lions and tigers. At least we have the common decency to kill the animal and cook it before we eat it. Lions and tigers tend to chase their prey down and eat them while they're still alive. How barbaric! ::disgust:

The lions and tigers go for the jugular. They also lack the ability to domesticate the animals they eat.

Stop feeling sorry for your food and fvcking eat it.

Agreed, why does PETA harass people here when they could be handing out pamphlets and describing nonexistant conditions to the world's predators?

 

[Mandos]

Threads like these need to be closed. You meat eaters are always gonna look at vegans like crazy f*cks, and us vegans are always going to know you are heartless meat eating b@stards. And thats the way it is.

Yeah, I guess human's haven't evolved at all... why should we have any sense of apathy for other creatures when they aren't intelligent to do the same? :roll:
