Is anyone here a vegetarian or vegan? I've been doing a mostly-vegetarian raw diet for a little over a week and I must say, I don't know if it's placebo, but I've felt really good lately and have had an unwonted sense of well being. I actually feel a lot more energetic during the day and sleep better at night. My skin and hair feel very nice too

meat good

I love meat, but are people really meant to eat meat?

I find that, besides being overcome with vague, poorly defined feelings of goodness, those new to such a lifestyle are also quickly overcome with delusions of superiority, unyielding pretention, and self-righteous hypocrisy. Anyone else?

Oh. God. Yes. Not only this, but the more stern they are on the subject, the more difficult they are to please and get a decent meal with. Especially if you make dinner and they can't eat it because of their dietary beliefs (oh, I was pissed).

I think its fucking ridiculous to be vegan. Towards what Blitz said: yes, we're suppose to eat meat. It's a very valuable source of nutrition that we're lucky to have available to us and, from what I understand, getting an equally nutritious meal solely out of greens can be a pretty ridiculous task which hints at the answer that meat is a good solution.

Life feeds on life. I agree on the sad fact that some of the methods to which animals are treated pre-meal is wrong, and that distancing yourself away from that is a good thing, but in reality now, with all the laws and strict regulation in force, its a low percentage. The delusions of superiority as mentioned by Chris spawns into a kind of disgusting mind state that takes for granted their blessed situation in life that allows them to have the choice not to eat me. Unless you simply dislike the taste of meat (unfathomable), then I'm forced to lay off as I understand as I fucking hate greens, but unless it's that: don't be a hippie. Eat delicious meat and be thankful.

I really wish I could add to that, but that's really the only counter argument to the culture that needs to be discussed. Everything else is just personal dietary preference.

More power to the people who can do it without being a tool and/or douchebag about it. But those who are snobs about it/walk around talking about it all the time are no better than the 15 year old kids who walk around talking about how totally awesome it is to be straight edge.

Indeed. I myself am a vegetArian, but eeeeverybody in my social environment eats meat. My mother too, my dad I don't know, think he's dead. But anyway, you'll néver hear me bitch about how they shouldn't eat, and that I feel better without eating meat, how they could possibly do what they do, don't they have a conscience, ...
I'm not a vegetarian out of protest or some dumb shit, I just don't want to eat animals. And chickens and fish are animals too, yes.



Hell yeah, just because ONE person (or more) chose to not eat meat, doesn't mean the whole group has to find another restaurant. If there's nothing on the menu without meat, I just a) ask if they can't make it without meat or b) just order something with meat, then just take the meat out (it's possible trust me), and this way my company gets more meat. Win win.



I haven't eaten any meat in 8 years, and I've never felt especially sick, tired or weak. And I don't go out of my way to make up for the loss of meat in my food, I just eat what other people eat, but replace the meat with some vegetarian burger (NOT "vegetable-burgers". Helllll nah).

Peta is one of the most ridiculous organizations around. Do they realize how fucking stupid they are?

The human race has continued on throughout the years by eating animals, and fucking each other.

6 feet, 1 inch. 170 lbs


I'm by no means advocating a diet, in honesty, lunch is lunch to me no matter what anyone eats, and I'd be the first person to kill an animal for some awesome leather shoes. I've been eating raw fish either way, and I have no problem with eating meat, I just notice I [still skeptical of placebo also] feel better eating mostly raw, vegetarian food. Doesn't necessarily mean others will.

I've been a vegetarian for a little over 6 years now.

I feel great, it just takes a little more effort then just burning a bloody steak and eating it

Most veggy/vegans you hear about are indeed bloody zealiot anti-meat crusaders. But you know, it's the most vocal people you always hear about.

I feel it's a personal choice, and think it's up to everyone to decide if they eat meat or not. I just don't want any part of that industry

Annyhow, as much as I hear about people disliking vegatarians because they are supposed to push their morality on everyone, veggy's get attacked too.

It's just a damn waste to see how much humans can't accept different lifestyle choices or moralities.

I have extensive opinions on this issue which I'll return to at some point in time, if anyone gives a fuck.
