I support unnecessary physical cruelty against vegetarians.
vegitarians are fine. they have their belief, and I’m ok with that. i have mine, which includes eating animals.
Its when they begin the same routine as religious zealots and try to force conversion when they start to bother me. every trick in the book is pulled. same as those bible thumpers that sit on the corner and waste paper by the truckload trying to stuff that crap down peoples throats. repent or be ****ed, find jesus, walk into the light, yada yada yada.
I do a lot of community service, I help the homeless, I donate my time and effort to several causes, I sponsor a family in the philipines out of my daily pay grind. but you dont see me running around tooting my own horn.
if people dont want to be involved the way I am, it is their choice and I would be a complete hypocrite if i were to critisize them for that.
we all have this one life to live, and we will all do it our own way. thats the thing about being alive. you make your own choices, and you own up for it in the end.
I dont think me eating animals is going to be a giant cosmic cluster fuk. Im not bringing the planetational structure out of whack.
If i were to give up eating animals because they are alive, I would have to give up plants as well. because, to be fair. its all life.
I dont plan to starve to death. and im not going to place one life form above another. I just wont do it.
I’ll treat all life equally and eat everything.

I eat chi-tos too. No reason to protect them.

How can someone not eat meat ???
I mean, look at it:
[QUOTE=golden arhat;874571]whats necessary about eating meat
please tell me[/QUOTE]
To be honest, I don’t know if this my own personal bio-chemistry or what, but I find I am not so able to process vegetable-source (eg: tofu, beans) protein. I can eat it and I don’t get sick or anything but I find that I don’t develop muscle quickly, don’t recover from minor muscle and tendon injuries as quickly and, after a few weeks, feel low energy and fatigued unless I also consume meat-source protein. Many nuts upset my stomach and nuts are, as a source of protein, quite expensive even compared to meat.
I’ve tried vegetarianism. I gained weight (as I found I had to eat a lot more beans than I did meat to get as much personally usable protein) and didn’t feel very well. This led me to the conclusion that my body actually kinda does need meat to function well. Again this is solely personal experience and YMMV.
That being said I am strongly in favor of the humane treatment of food stock animals and also believe that the animals killed for food should be utilized fully.

Amen brother!
And I have been somewhat prone to minor muscle and tendon injuries in the past as I tend to push myself to my limits when I practice. I manage to keep in the game partly because when I do consume a reasonable amount of meat I heal fast.
The worst shape of my life was when I was living with a veggie chick… though Seven Layer burritos at Taco Bell and pizza were my staple veggie sources.
I know of vegans who make their cats eat vegetarian. That in my book, is cruel and inhumane.
Warrior Monks at Shaolin ate meat. Buddhist Monks were vegetarians.
Soy products contain estrogens, which explains why you had less energy, more fat tissue, and less muscle mass, and had trouble healing from muscle/tendon injuries, and also explains why vegans are whiney, little ***gots.

There ya go! Sense at last.
I just ate a nice healthy lunch consisting of ginger slices, raw fish and rice.

I had lunch a couple of hours ago, mine was more yummy:
From anyone else I might just view a picture with the filename of “turkey-sandwich.jpg” even at work.
From you SR, I expect some nubile young thing eating a turkey sandwich in a micro-bikini and so am assuming it’s NSFW.

You’re going to be sorely dissapointed when you look at it.
for once it actually is safe for work…im still in shock
How the hell did this become a vegetarian debate?
I’m pescatarian, which just made it into the dictionary (thank you very much!) Actually that doesn’t describe my diet perfectly. My Shaolin master, Shi Decheng, told me that I shouldn’t eat anything that screams when you kill it. So I eat fish (if they scream, I can’t hear it), reptiles and amphibians (although I’m not that fond of them, especially not turtles and frogs) and bugs (but it’s hard to find well prepared bugs in America).
I restrict my diet mostly for the discipline of it. It’s part of being Buddhist. Also, Pamela Anderson told me too. It actually makes my life easier. In America, we’re inundated with so many choices. Part of freedom is not to exercise those freedoms. There are huge sections of restaurant menus that I don’t have to deal with - it saves me a lot of time.
What I’ve never understood is why carnivores get so defensive about vegetarians. Meat is a finite resource, especially in third world countries. If others chose not to eat meat, doesn’t that leave more meat for the carnivores? True carnivores should encourage others to go veg, so all the choice cuts go to them. That’s what I used to do when I was carnivorous.

You do realize that if you choke the chicken it won’t scream.
