Who was Shawn before he was a Lifer? I dunno...tell me...I keep notes on these things.


Anyway, I agree w/Shawn; Veggies are side dishes. My ancestors didn't claw and bite their way up the food chain to eat rabbit food, dammit!! Meat is good to eat...um...as long as it's from animals that I killed and stuff!

Yeah, thats right, it was MAGIC that killed those people, not BSE/Mad Cow Disease!

BSE, or Alzheimer's for cows, or liquidification of the brain, whichever way you want to put it, is caused by protein oversupply. And especially the use of soy. Soy phytates inhibit Zinc uptake.

same here, I've been known to "cheat" occasionally, I'll eat tunafish every now and then, and even some turkey on thanksgiving, or chicken rarely.

my reasons for being vegitiarian have changed as I grew up:

It started out, when I was a kid, with there was never any meat in the house, so I diddn't eat any.

Then arround middle school, I was very into the morality side of the coin, If I diddn't have to kill an animal to survive, why should I?

Arround highschool, my philosophy shifted slightly to the macro-economic justification; the ammount of land it takes to raise enough cows to feed 100 people, could be used to plant enough vegetables to feed 1000 people.

In college my view shifted even more, and I realized that while there are alot of great "reasons" for being a vegitarian, I was mostly doing it out of habbit, this is when I started to "cheat"

I've never been against anyone else eating meat, I see it as a personal choice.
 
2+ years. It really isn't hard to do, and just to think that it's better for you, the environment...and the poor cows!

I think my not "cheating" has more to do with being able to say that I haven't eaten an animal for x time. Sometimes it's a dilemma when there's food that's gonna be wasted though. The food server gave me some sushi roll with raw fish in it today...I asked for california rolls, which (at our cafeteria) consist of cucumbers, carrots, rice, and seaweed and the like.

They say that if you eat meat after having abstained for a long time, it'd taste really sickening, and you'd feel nauseous because your stomach lacks some kind of bacteria. I don't plan on finding out 🙂

The tensing of the way this is written is terrible. But a lot of the data is undeniable.

That's the stupidest website I've ever seen, and I'm including the moon landing hoax sites.
Was it 100% funded by Atkins or something?

This myth that carbohydrates are an essential in the diet is stated over and over in health and diet articles, books and web sites.

Yeah, sort of like the myth that gasoline is essential to cars. Where do these morons get off saying that suddenly carbohydrates are all bad? That's as dumb a statement as saying that all meat is bad.
 
Wow... that is a good one. You just shot down your own arguement...

Cars need kinetic energy, and guess what. It doesn't have to be gasoline! The most popular method isn't always the best.
 
Before I used to just not eat beef or pork (didn't care for the taste of the two unless they were specially prepared 2 certain ways). Now it's once in a great while I'll eat meat because my molar chipped between another tooth so it's very easy for meat to get stuck in it, and then it's hard to floss it out because it cuts the floss. =0þ

because every hippie I've ever met is a peta wanna be who shoves their personal beliefs in my face, down my throat and won't stop. Give me all this bull about "KILLER! you know that blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah, blah blah blah..." who tell me that apple computers are better for the environment and faster and all this crap I really could care less about. Who set SUVs on fire or would, who smell like garbage, smoke pot all day and smart as a retard... Sure I've met my stereo types and would normally say that "eh, it's just a stereo type, I can't imagine EVERYONE is like that" but I have yet to be proven wrong...
