meat-eaters vs vegetarians

[bushmobile]

No.But you cook/boil vegetables so nearly 99.7% of what you mentioned is gone.

you cook meat too, so why does it matter what it's been eating?

[Louix]

do keep in mind it was a living animal

You cook/barbeque/fry the meat, so that any parasites or bacterias will die.
The meat is also checked for diseases before it is shipped to the supermarked.

[wossname]

In england they make the cows fight to the death and then eat the losers.

[kregg]

And the winners are then given a prize trip to the slaughter house

[kregg]

you cook meat too...

What? Oh s**t!

[hairball]

You also boil/cook your fresh salad?

[oceanebelle]

Itch Itch Itch

[penagate]

Steak is best served while twitching.

[hairball]

Living things
- Animals
- Plants
- Other living things

If you keep in mind that it was a living animal, how about living plants?

I guess you don't care about plants. My bamboo is now feeling sad.

This thread is an insult to Geesh.

I eat meat...chicken, turkey, and fish mostly. We eat a bit of pork; maybe twice a month; and we hardly ever eat beef for environmental reasons. We try to have a veggie dinner at least once a week tho it's difficult. I was raised in Texas, where meat makes the meal.

??
Is this just in case you fart too much and release poisonous methane into the environment?

Good on ya for caring about the earth

No, it's because it takes 70-80 calories of energy to produce a single calorie of beef. It's basically one of the most inefficient sources of protein to produce and should be eaten only occasionally, if ever.

Ok - that's just not true...

Basic high school chemistry.

Cooking and boiling doesn't get rid of anything - nothing is gone!

It's simply gets changed - and what it becomes isn't always better

[ZaNi]

I'm a vegetarian now... ate meat for a while, wasn't really fussed about it, then decided to go vegan...

Now I tend to eat cheese and a little fish, but thats about it...

I wouldn't really eat any meat anymore... except maybe bacon... mmm... bacon... *drooling sounds*

[x-ice]

I personally am a vegie because i don't like the thought of something that was a living animal inside me.because you don't know what that animal has been eating.

Yeh, you definately won't be getting bird flu when the rest of us do.

[kregg]

The penguins! Won't someone please think of the penguins!

[szlamany]

The penguins! Won't someone please think of the penguins!

That's all the killer whales think about (along with seals and other juicy meaty animals)...

Hairball should keep that in mind.

Won't I just catch it if i come in to contact with someone who has it?

[Mike Lawson]

I ate meat for 19 years,now i've been a vegetarian for nearly 17 years in may.

It can "get rid" of stuff as far as the meal is concerned, because the nutrients have moved into the water and are subsequently drained off. While the stuff isn't gone in the sense that it still exists somewhere, it is no longer part of the food consumed. For that reason, you should NEVER cook your food. Eat everything raw. Vegetables are easier, because they hold still better, but mice and snakes are generally pretty easy. Turtles are easy, too, as long as they are cold, so throw ice cubes or frogs at them. After all, have you ever held a warm frog?

[kregg]

Yes. His name was Mendhak.

[Shaggy Hiker]

You held him

[oceanebelle]

A poor urchin kid in mexico, living off of day old, cheap, "unhealthy" foods is often more healthy then the gaunt gangly vegans or people who think for whatever moronic reason that eating raw food is better for you.

Human body is fairly resilient and can usually adapt to many conditions. When you try to strip out all the "bad" stuff from your life, your body becomes weak and intolerant. Thats why say people in other countries can tolerate their own water, but not the pampered tourists from countries with high quality water sanitation.

[Louix]

agreed.
But just because i am a vegetarian dosen't mean that i eat everything healthy which many people assume.
I do have the (maybe more than!)occaisional pizza,vege-sausage,vege-burger or vege-bacon all of these quorn (except the pizza) but they still have fat content.And if theres one thing I am not and that's under-weight!

[Hack]

I am not a vegetarian because I don't think I can put up the holier-than-thou attitude for more than a day.

How about more than a day.

Meat eater and proud of it. We are designed to be omnivorous, so happy to oblige

Carnivorous as well.

I eat meat for one basic, fundamental reason: It tastes good.

I can as much about where it comes from as I care about the material from which my shoe laces are made.

[Foxer]

If meat were made from shoe laces - would you care then?

[oceanebelle]

If meat were made out of mendhak's third eye, would you care then?

[oceanebelle]

and in case you ask, mendhak's third eye regenerates every hour or so.

[kregg]

Yes

Yes

[oceanebelle]

Hey Kregg, can you do happy feet? can you show can you can you???

[kregg]

I'm afraid to, since the last time I did... well...

[oceanebelle]

roflmao

[kregg]

Now you know why I'm a vegetarian...

[FunkyDexter]

Vegintarianism is morally wrong!!

Your ancestors fought their way to the top of the food chain for and you just throw it abck in their faces...
