MEAT or VEGGIES?

[Lick UR Lovely]

Just wondering how many of you are vegetarians? I love a big medium rare steak about twice a month! :D

[saifan]

[Skwisgarr Skwigelf]

I would morally like to be a vegetarian but enjoy steak far too much. So meat

[sexyshana]

ALL MEAT... NO POTATOES!!!

[MrsKellyPierce]

All Meat but love potatoes lol

[foolish99]

[sexyshana]

Im sorry im confused... are we actually talking about food? if so then neither.

[foolish99]

shana -- does having a finger count as meat?

[sexyshana]

of course not darling... thats dessert

[Herkyalert]

Food in general please.

[Skwisgarr Skwigelf]

I assume he are talking about actual food otherwise what is vegetables a metaphor for (I already figured out meat :) )

[justatransgirl]

.....

[Justawannabe]

Meat eater on the food front....

I guess wrong too often about when veggies go bad...

on the other front I guess I need a better definition of what veggies is standing in for.

I became a vegatarian when I was 13 years old, vegan when I was 17. When I was 22 I ended up stuck in Charlotte NC after a hitchiking ride broke down. I was so hungry, all I wanted was a pizza. Still vegetarian though, until a couple years ago in Texas my friends forced me to eat bacon and catfish (mm....) so for a while I was vegetarian except for bacon. But other than that year long dive into meat madness, I've been a vegetarian for the last 14 years.

The body needs meat . Steak potatoes veggies, all of it and anything to make my muscles grow. Protein! We are made to eat meat AND plants.

[dgtlmstry]

It was only a matter of time before someone came on here and told us what we NEED. Vegetarian here. Doing just fine without meat thank you very much.

[hondarobot]

I love meat, I think the most exotic I've had so far was either beef heart (terrible) or goat (good). The worst tasting thing I ever attempted to eat was (no joke) lettuce. I spit it out. Peppers, tomatoes, stuff like that I like, but the weird green things, no thank you.

I respect your right to express religious beliefs as statements of empirical fact, but I must disagree. I do not believe I was made.

[horst1]

vegetarian when i travel or am at work for convenience sake, otherwise vegan

[Wino the SuperHero]

I cut back on the meat. i want to become a vegan. I can go without eating meat for 2 weeks. It actually healthier to eat little to no meat. My weakness is steak or a great burger.

what!? doesnt even make since. wether u believe in god or not it wasnt meant to refer to anything religous so how did u come up with that out of a simple comment. we were still MADE otherwise we wouldnt exist.

13 year vegan here

To be made implies intent of some sort, especially within the context of saying we were made to eat meat. I believe that human beings evolved on a diet that was comprised of the food available, at times it was meat and at times it was vegetarian (depending on climactic and regional variations). Interestingly enough, when people use this argument against vegetarians they never use it to criticize other parts of modern life that are contrary to (either) religious beliefs or evolution. For instance, for the first 95% of human history societies were comprised of mostly egalitarian hunter-gatherer societies, and only within the last 5,000 years have we seen the rise of class- societies, and governments. Yet I have yet to hear someone who tells me vegetarianism is un-natural also demand the immediate cessation of government, capitalism, auto-mobiles, plumbing, reading, computers etc....

I'm not opposed to the eating of animals per se, I'm opposed to factory farming and cities of tortured animals that rival New York in terms of population density. If I was unable to access all of my dietary needs through vegetables, I would learn to hunt, or buy from someone who hunts.

my two cents.

i think im in love <3 you nailed it right on the head.

[hondarobot]

I agree with Mandy, but I still eat meat anyways. It's absolutely bad to harvest living things for food. No debate there. I will continue to eat meat and deal with the punishment in the "after life".

If the cows, pigs, chickens and whatever have a problem with that, they should have evolved better. Given the chance, I'm sure they would eat me.

:lol:

[Overlord Abomination]

I dont eat meat as much thats prob why im dyin

[Ben]

I disagree with Jessica Sexy Simpson -- pic below. But then again one wonders if she's talking about actually eating meat or fellatio. In which case, well, we all LOVE fellatio, don't we??? :)

[marissaazts]

mmmmm meat
pork fat does indeed rule

i dont allow vegans in my home
beside we prob. would disagree on almost eveything else anyhow

[darkko]

hmmm I will eat my fruits and veggies

[audioguy]

I've been vegan for 12 years. It wasn't all that easy on the East Coast, but there are TONS of good places in Los Angeles that are vegan-friendly and/or completely vegan.

I have been known to put a piece of meat in my mouth if it's attached to someone I like, though. ;)

It's actually one of the reasons I hate going on tour. I have to really make an effort to find places that have good, healthy vegetarian options. Not just a crappy salad, or some bizarre soy imitation of meat; I want substantive and fresh food. Fortunately my sweetie loves to cook, and so do most of my friends (even the meat eaters cook good food for me), so I eat really well at home.

When I was vegan and used to travel a whole lot more, I thought I would lose my mind trying to find food at truckstops and travel plaza's that wasn't loaded with animal parts. Just being vegetarian is much better, because I can at least get a slice of pizza when all else fails.

[JelenaCD]

Beer , Pasta, Bread , Diet of the gods ! High Energy !

[audioguy]

I'm with you, Mandy! When I drove cross-country moving out to California it was a pretty dismal situation. There isn't really such thing as vegan road-food in Texas. I would've killed for even a Subway restaurant. Nothing like a dry salad to keep you going!

Next time I'll be more prepared for sure....

I'm not really complaining, I know it's my choice.

Jelena's right about the beer, as well. That's a staple of any good diet!!!

[El Nino]

mmm, love Angel!!!

[qeuqheeg222]

[SkyTwo]

Is pork shoulder a vegetable?

[sexyshana]

Soy imitation of meat? I thought that was a prog rock band out of minneapolis.

[sexyshana]

[sexyshana]

:lol:

I'm sure they would eat us too if they were higher on the food chain. But really i dont give a rats ass what anyone else eats i'm me.

[AdaraLove]

NO meat for me- unless they are sausages but I just like to lick em

[LibertyHarkness]

I like my Fruit and Veg :)

Shit was i meant to eat it .....

[backpacker]

I turned Vegeterian freshman year of college went to school in pennsylvania. Saw a slaughter house never ate a piece of meat again. Just cheese and eggs the rest veggies and tofu meat substitues.

[DL_NL]

I love my veg, as long as there's a nice piece of meat to go along with it.

Soy-based fake meat is really sad stuff, much like no-alcohol beer: if you call yourself a vegetarian, don't eat meat. Not even fake meat.

[praetor]

MEAT.

[celticgrafix]

chicken, protein, but raw vegetables is like eating zero calories

[Willie Escalade]

Shavonna likes her vegetables. :twisted:

my hippie parents made me be vegan until I was on my own so I never really developed a taste for it. I do like a glass of milk from time to time

[Sparky Snakeden]

I'm vegetarian! 12 years and counting

[theone1982]

I think Hazel Tucker is a vegetarian.:)

[Ben]

It's a lot healthier. I think in the future (circa 2050 maybe) everyone will become vegetarians. It'll be based on health -- and ethics.
Take, say, cigarette smoking. It has dropped dramatically. Because people are educated on its dangers.

[Ben]

I think Hazel Tucker is a vegetarian.:)

ha! ha!
No. Hazel likes to eat meat... ha! ha!

[Skunch]

why settle for one or the other?

[theone1982]

ha! ha!
No. Hazel likes to eat meat... ha! ha!

I think you're right, Hazel is definitely an omnivore.:)

This video shook me up. I'm vegetarian. Simply based on morality, care and concern for other animals.
I just don't think we have the right to slaughter animals for food. It's obscene.
We slaughter about 56 billion animals per year.
But if we all became vegetarians tomorrow, well, what are we gonna do with all those animals???????

Maybe they'll evolve and enslave humans, and it will become like that horrible Planet of the Apes....wait a minute, Statue of Liberty...that was Earth! You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you! Goddamn you all to hell!:) Sorry, I went off on a classic movie tangent there!:)

[robertlouis]

I don't eat meat - am allergic to all poultry anyway - but do eat fish and seafood, as long as it comes from sustainable sources. Fruit and veg organic if possible, and I'll choose Fairtrade when it's available too.

And I'm perfectly fit and healthy and will be representing Scotland in the shagging competition at the Commonwealth Games.
