[QUOTE=Kanye West;18405585]once again, it doesn't matter. the guy i quoted said that vegetarians aren't healthy, which just isn't true[/QUOTE]
If extra supplements are required to keep good nutrition it's clear that vegetarianism is comparatively LESS healthy even if it is certainly possible to be a healthy vegetarian.

[QUOTE=Tom-ate-em;18405019]Thank you for that very valid and insightful opinion - ___-
I used to use that argument, and it's pretty poor to be honest, now that I see the other side of the story. But humans do lots of unnatural things... we might have the capacity to eat meat, but I think we're built to primarily consume fruit and veg - it's healtheir for a start, cutting out all that colesterol... anyway, since I'm not going to go on a pro-veggie rampage, I'd appreciate it if people keep their own opinion to themselves.[/QUOTE]
enjoy your protein poisoning, faggot
Though I'll have to add that I got nothing against veggies. I just happen to like meat, and we can all do what we want
[QUOTE=Splambob;18405594]It's funny that some people who are morally opposed to eating meat are completely fine with eating food fashioned to look and taste exactly like meat.[/QUOTE]
did you know things that aren't meat but look and taste like meat are still not meat?

It's just too bad that we can't test potentially deadly medication on many people because the lives of mice are more important. I believe it's best to only be against animal cruelty if it starts to affect us negatively. Not your usual "oh boohoo" right?
Eggs are considered meat, so that's out of your diet. Try not to go organic as you might end up getting E. coili infection since organic farmers tend to use cow waste, your typical supermarket greens are much healthier. Don't believe the "organic farms don't use pesticides", no farmer can manage without them.[/QUOTE]
Again, I'm not going into some all of sudden CRAZYVEGEOMGTHEANIMALZ!!1111!!! damned rampage, , I'm not a regular meat eater, and I'm pretty healthy, so I doubt a little less fat-laden cow meat is going to make me toppel over any time soon, in regards to mice testing, I agree, this is wrong to, but choosing vegetarianism is something within my control - easy, affordable - it's choosing what goes into my chops so stop blowing this up further as if I've been implying I'm trying to save every animal on the planet.
Eggs are not a living, thinking, feeling creature, so no, it's not the same thing. In regards to your e.coili statement, linkplox? to some legit article.

You're not saving animals. You're just opening up a brand new market. It's funny that some people who are morally opposed to eating meat are completely fine with eating food fashioned to look and taste exactly like meat.
Think about that, I'm going to eat pork and rice with a little meat stock and lemon sauce.
And it's going to be [i]delicious[/i].[/QUOTE]
Ignorance and assumptions, as usual. That doesn't particularly attract me at all, I don't even enjoy REAL mince. I DO enjoy a salad with loads of peppers, balsamic vinegar or a nice dressing however, and this was when I didn't think about being a veggie, I love sweet potatoes and spicy foods, so no, not every veggie or potential veggie drools over meat impersonating food.

Idiot. Veggies (most of them anyway) are aware of the fact that humans do eat meat, and our digestive system is meant to hold it.
They think it's just morally wrong to have slaughterhouses and what-not and eat those animals.

Oh and, I'm not a veggie. I enjoy munching whatever I think tastes good.

I wasn't really trying to piss some people off, I was just showing some of the gruesome things about meat. I almost went veggie when I watched that. It's gruesome, but it's part of nature, and the pig was raised to be meat.
We swedes takes good care of our pigs, I would never buy meat from anywhere else in the world but here.

supplements aren't required to stay healthy. i was just giving an example of a real healthy-ass dude because he said it was like it was impossible for any vegetarian to be a healthy person. it's become a growing fad with the kids though, and that's what gives people these misconceptions. most people think of self righteous starving myspace celebrities when they think of vegetarians.

Because I eat meat. You actually have to kill the pig and prepare it if you're going to cook it, believe it or not

Meat has amino acids that you cannot replace with anything else.

If you could, nothing would be as good as meat.

I'm not sure how it works in your country but where I come from, we just go to the store and buy burgers ready to cook and serve. (I said cook, not heat, it's none of that filler shit it's real beef)

But someone has prepared the pig, am I right? And because she got the (dead) pig for free, we had to prepare it. You just don't shove a pig into a machine and out comes bacon

Ate some porkchops today, was really good actually. Felt tastier and better to eat, since I've been a part of the process (and my girl has raised the pig from birth).
Kinda cool when you think about it
