Vegitarian anyone?

[Jamie]

My goal is for the truth to permeate though the clouds of irremediable attitudes and aid humans in taking earth’s creatures into consideration. To shift consciousness into a new paradigm of love and respect for all life and the coexistence of all species. In fact, over 9 BILLION chickens, cattle, hogs, and other farm animals are born, raised, and slaughtered in places that will make the worst inner-city ghetto you’ve ever seen, look like George H.W.Bush’s Kennebunkport mansion. Why, it seems easier for human beings to lack this knowledge as a particular fact, than to take responibility for their own choices. Yes, im angry. It just seems like nonsense.

Let me start by saying that I Love animals, the planet & consider myself to be somewhat of a druid. I do respect the reason for your vegitarianism & if it makes you fell stronger as a person than Gods bless you! Scientists know believe that it was the extra calories in meat plus the need to be smarter to catch meat, that allowed the hominids to evolve into the human race that we are (which may not be a good thing, as humans tend to disgust me) today. I Love meat, have eaten it raw many times & figure that if the gods didn't want man to eat animals, they wouldn't have made them out of meat! I always eat everything I kill & feel like shit if I don't make a quick & clean kill. With the poor management of our country by it's leaders, I wouldn't be suprised if the super-market shelves went bare for weeks at a time. Most super-markets only have 24 to 48 hours worth of supplies at a normal rate of consumption & a panic will suck that up even (ever seen the masses of asses panic when a huricane was comming?) faster. The stores will most likely be fine but, if not, than all the smug cock-suckers walking around feeling better than me had better watch out, because if I get hungry enough.... well, gods help the poor fool that mistakes me for a victim & decides to climb in my window, cuz powerful hands could latch onto their ass & help them inside!!!!!!!! "Eat the children RRAAAAWWWW!!!"

Wendy O. Williams (vocalist for the Plasmatics) was also a Vegetarian & I'm a huge fan of her, as well as Otep. I'm suprised my earlier comment didn't get me BLASTED. I actually DO respect anyone who has the will to abstain form meat, as I'm not a fan of killing animals, I just love meat. Perhaps through clonning, we could one day raise meat in gaint test tubes, harvest it painlessly & solve the worlds hunger problems? The thought is obviously a little si fi today but, who knows what the future can bring? If money can be made on it, then it WILL happen..... someday.

Yessss, it is fucking ugly, and so easily swept aside at the moment of the feed.
I WILL tell yah this , i know we won't de-domesticate most of those species reliant on man for aeons gone on , and if their going to be grazing on croppable land , we might as well use a few typeZ under humane conditions , like for milk and free-range them and have and free-range meat . Then , decrease the amount of meat products you use , in that sense you become conservationalist.
I might eat like two meals a day (not a role model kids) , and i'll use or not some animal derivative depending on previous consumption...
That way you get the nutrients you can ONLY get from animals. S'true, look it up....
Yah sh()uld compost too , i hope your city does...Anything to help ole' Ma NaychA , feed her that feeds the whole world....

Vegetarian of nearly three years. Life has never been more satisfying.

i think it is very horrible how they slaughter some of the animals, but it still stands that we are higher up in the "cycle of life". it isn't a crime for us to eat them and use them for a few things here and there for the greater good of humanity (serious medical advances etc). but, i believe it is a crime for us to use them for cosmetics, to slaughter them horribly to get some chicken for a KFC, to rip the fur off their skin to get a coat, to treat them like they don't feel pain either, etc etc. i'm not totally against fur and leather and the like, you can make them if you want to, but please do it so the animals don't get hurt so much and scream from agony. it's disgusting and inhumane.

i am not going to stop eating the meat just because of the way they kill them though. they already killed them, might as well eat what's in front of me. but if me not eating meat anymore actually made a difference in the long run, i would do it. it's also a personal matter too; i don't get enough of the nutrition and shit i need as is. if i stopped eating meat, i'd be nearly dying by now.

do you really think its less healthy to eat only vegetables, you only have to eat the right foods. if vegetables aren't healthy enough for you to live off of then how do the cows and chickens we eat then suddenly become more healthy from only eating vegetation. where is that extra nutrition coming from? look into it, its actually healthier to eat vegetation, any toxin or chemical used in the growth of vegetation (i am including acid rain) is less toxic if you eat the plant rather then the cow that has been eating and storing that vegetation for years. Its a science thing, learned about it in college, the lower on the food chain you eat from the less toxic your food will be, regardless of how clean your food is there is always something.

i'm saying that i need my protein too and all the other stuff meat DOES have. i do realize some vegetables have protein, but i'm still only 13. my mom will not go out of her way to buy the vegetables that are high in protein (enough to give me a healthy amount) because she doesn't buy them to begin with (i know that sounds stupid, but that's really what my mom is like). and my mom probably wouldn't buy me protein pills either. baddd. i do realize that vegetables are healthier for you, but you can still be unhealthy while eating a lot of vegetables if you aren't eating all the kinds your body needs. i wouldn't be able to get all those kinds, so i'd still be unhealthy.

Its weird being a vegetarian it seems like i get made fun of it for more then anything else, like its wrong to not kill animals. for anyone considering it i would highly recommend it, not eating meat forces you to learn more (much healthier) foods. Being vegetarian is actually cheaper, meat costs much more then a plate of vegetables.
I also don't understand how we, as humans, can say we have evolved much more than any other animal, we created cars, planes, ipods, computers, and nuclear bombs but yet we cant seem to get past the fact that animals need to die simply for our enjoyment. face it for any of meat eaters out there being a vegetarian is just as or more healthy then eating meat so the only advantage to meat is the taste.
I'm proud to be a vegetarian and always will be, for those of you who find it necessary to insult us take a second to see if u have a real reason or if your just against change

[Nathan Collins]

Ok. Someone needs to say this. You people are saying factory farming is wrong, which I agree with. You are also saying that they slaughter them inhumanely, and this is why you are a vegetarian.

Why do you only care when they die?

What about the delicious milk you drink? Made by injecting cows with hormones so they continually and unnaturally pump out litres of it? What about when your chowing down on your favourite glucose based lollies? Ever stop and say, where does this come from? It comes from cutting off cow's hooves.

Oh well, at least you can say your a vegetarian, and that's why you care for animals, despite supporting life-long suffering instead of suffering and death.

Good job guys, keep fighting the good vegetarian fight.

[Treading the Flood Waters]

and what if we do not drink milk from cows injected with hormones, or eat jello or anything else made from animal parts. and do you think they would really use the bones of animals to make jello if people stop eating meat. i highly doubt they would kill a cow for its bones, they are just using the waste from what we would not eat or use normally.
