Its the best diet:
great food
No health issues
No cruelty
good for the environment
The only downside is the stupid comments we get from meat eaters and those fishy-wannabees.
UkantSpel, & and wheeliebin sum up some of the issues meater eaters present - very cliched and, to be quite frank, BORING.
Canine teath, the bible says so, cattle will die, veggies wear leather.....so many sterotypical meat eater comments from people who never seem to want to have a sensible discussion about the subject.
Its hardy worth answering them but here goes:
cannine teeth
You have canine teeth that are designed to tear roughage. Do your teeth really look like the canine teeth of a meat-eating animal ? Eh? No.
Anyway, just because you have teeth shaped like that how does it justify the meat production in the modern world, nothing natural or historic about that, is there ? you cannot on one hand claim its natural and them on the other hand support the factory farming meateaters pay for. Now THAT IS hypocritical.
Leather
you will find ALL vegans and MOST vegetarians steer clear of animal slaughter by-products like leather.
The bible
Yeh,well, i loose all interest when people start quoting a book that has been heavily edited by MAN over the years.
cows will die.
Quite simply, this is rubbish.
We have pet cows and sheep, i've got no intention of eating them. So would many people have them as land companions but meateaters are programmed to think sheep and cows are somehow not really animals. They are, they have as much character and feeling as any pet dog.
People keep horses, don't they, and most of the world don't eat them. So of course cattle would survive.
I like the concept but at this stage of my life I am to hooked on meat that it would be a hardship for me to quit eating meat.
If my wife was a vegetarian then I would probably eat the food she served me but I know I would crave meat as I have been on this diet for 62 years.
I guess you are right and I wish you well in your choice of lifestyle. Happy Days to you! ...also all the animals of the world want to thank you too!
No problems with vegetarians that do it for health reasons, but the ones that claim to be helping the animals really crack me up. Help the animals eh? With your leather coat/shoes/purse/wallet? The hypocrisy!!
Just for a change of pace, I think the Atkins diet people should go protest outside Vegetarian headquarters with signs like PLANT KILLERS! and such. (sounds like a far side comic!)
I get called names for my views. Ah well. Vegan and Proud, do you own shoes? Wallet? Timber in your house? That means you displaced an animal of some kind, you hypocrite.
animals exist for their own reasons
Your becoming so vegetarian you are plant like?So you mean you are reaching a vegetative state?
PS- atkins was fat.bread will kill you!(LOL)
ukantspel=asshole :(
Cattle will be extinct! as they will be regarded as parasites! eating our food chain! Food for thought! Hey! Pardon the pun! lol. Have a good day!
-why would people let cattle become extinct?Humans don't eat grass.
I'm o.k. thank you, Yourself? I am of the opinion that man having canine teeth is a natural meat eater, our ancestors hunted animals for thousands of years for their meat. And to cease suddenly! must cause a change in our metabolism, and I wonder if it's for the good! Just how do we manage 'Change' in our bodies as we move away from meat diets? Will this affect be noted in thousands of years time as we are seen grazing the vast carpets of grass which we will need to support us? Cattle will be extinct! as they will be regarded as parasites! eating our food chain! Food for thought! Hey! Pardon the pun! lol. Have a good day!
I eat more meat, you eat less vegetables.
Save the plants, they have feelingsQ!!!Q
it seems a bit silly
To each his own... just don't get obsessed by what you eat - or don't eat.
Whatever goes on your plate is of no concern to others, so good luck.
For moral reasons I think its admireable. For health reasons, I dont think its the best option. Its a good option but not the best.
I believe in everything in moderation (except chocolate)
Bon Apetit
Ive have always been told that humans were originally fruit eaters, maybe are teeth evolved along the way for the ice age were fruit and plants werent found then againi may be wrong, i am a vegan so THUMBS UP!
but i dont have anything against people that eat meat.
A vegan diet is unnatural and in the long term unhealthy unless you work very hard to eat a diet that meets your nutritional needs...human beings are designed to be omnivorous (just look at our teeth and digestive tracts).
I love vegetarianism & I'm proud to have been vegetarian for over 20 years.
I like the idea of being so vegetarian you're almost plant-like - kind of reminds me of the Ents, hrrrhhmmmhhhrrrmm!
whatever diet suits you. except for cannibalism.
