"Because it tastes so damn good!"


People think that the momentary pleasure that they get from eating meat is more important than the life of the animal. Also, the feeble-minded among us don't want to deliniate from the norm ...(Ma and Pa did it, so must I, lest I be considered a 'freak'...)

I'm glad, to be quite honest, that these people live much shorter lives than us vegetarians and vegans - maybe we'll be able to retire with the satisfaction that the morons we take flack from on YA have all died slow and painful deaths from heart disease and/or cancer!! I certainly hope that they'll face some heavy consequences for their choices when they get to the 'afterlife' (if there is such a thing) as well! I'm such a sadist - toward arrogant and apathetic (it's not that they're 'uninformed', it's that they don't care) morons, at least.

It tastes so damn good.


accidently put thumbs down on cactustone answer below. change it the thumbs up

It tastes good.

I JUST CANT HELP IT

BLAH BLAH BLAH we should all live your way and most of you are malnutritioned
GET BENT

hell missy, its the natural way and meat tastes bloody good you try not salivating when you smell a bacon roll, man is an omnivore, so its all natures way

we are omnivoures we eat meat vegetables and whatever else we can shove into our filthy little mouths

Because we LIKE it and it is OUR CHOICE... Just as being a vegetarian is YOUR CHOICE.

You have been a Vegetarian ONLY a "couple" months and you are an Expert???

I insist on it because I'm an omnivore. You can tell by the incisors in my mouth. If it wasn't for eating flesh and wearing fur the human race would have died off way before clothing came around. I justify by being a superior species. I eat to survive, an animal does it too. They eat other animals to survive. It's called the balance of life. This day and age if you choose not to eat meat or wear fur, that's fine. That's your decision. I won't push meat on you or force feed you. I respect your decision. So it's right for you to show the same courtesy to others, and not push your choices on them.

i agaree

some dude once said
as long as there are slaughterhouses
there will be battle fields

why do vegetarians insist they have the better way...our bodies were designed to run on all foods...including meat...bully for you if you choose to forego meat, but don't think for an instant that it is natural to do so, and for chrissakes don't go on about the helpless little animals..they were meant to be a part of the food chain too...

...and don't mix in fur with the issue, that is separate and not a food chain issue...oh by the way, what are your shoes made of, your purse, wallet, any belts, gloves??? sit on any leather furniture lately? come on, get real!

okay, you know what that is your personal choice. mine is to eat meat.

There is nothing better than a big, bloody slab of prime rib.

I am going to assume that you've thrown out all of your leather, too? I hope so.

You obviously graduated at the top of your liberal sheep-dip class, didn't you? Why do you insist on being so elitist and so judgmental of people who don't do what you do? Just because it's your way doesn't mean it's the right way. God created animals for our use, and two of those uses are food and clothing. You are a shining example of vegetarian snobbery. Get off your high horse!

why do some people think everyone should have the same viewpoint as them?

It's why the world is so messed up ... if everyone would just mind their own business and not insist that theirs is the only right way.. we'd all be happier and there would be a lot less fighting going on..

sorry.. but your question just rubbed me the wrong way today.

Have you ever heard of this thing called the food chain... I think all those veggies are going to your brain you need to go eat you some meat so you can think more clearly...and you've only been a veg. for a couple of months so obviously at some point YOU insisted on eating meat. The world would be so over populated with wild animals if no one ate meat...and not all animals are treated badly for us to eat meat honey.

Do you wear leather (belts, shoes, purses, etc.)
Do you use soap or wear make up?
and the list goes on and on................If your gonna go veggie ya might as well go all the way.....and please don't be one of those vegetarians that preach at people for not being just like you! "To each his own"

I ate meat as a little person, so I grew up liking the taste. Nothing like a burger or steak, especially if done on the grill. Which we did last week when we had a few warm days ( yummy-yummy ). People are omnivors, we eat both veggies and meat, nice mix a salad with those burgers. Animals eat each other, we eat animals, it is the natural cycle of life. Rather than waste their skins or furs we use them.

The animals are not skinned alive. They are killed first. Meat is part of our diet. You vegetarians are just freaks.

I don't eat meat that often, but I still eat it because I like the way it tastes. And these animals that we eat are bred for this purpose on farms. It isn't like we go into local animal shelters pick out a cat and chop it up when we get home. Just as it is your will to choose not to eat meat, it is anothers choice to eat meat.
I hate fur coats though, I think that they look tacky, and I am against they way hunters go out and hunt harmless animals, sometimes rare and exoctic animals.
..as a vegetarian though, are you thoroughly checking everything you purchase to make sure it contains no animal product? (food, clothes, shoes, make-up.....)

I could go either way. But look at it this way. God gave man dominion over all animals that walk, crawl and creep upon the earth. (I don't have the exact words from the Bible, sorry). Remember, Adam and Eve could anything except the fruit of the tree of knowledge. God created all the animals and said be fruitful and multiply. That was for man to live with and consume. As long as it's ok with God, it's ok with me. I do not agree with wearing furs though, I understand where you're coming from on that issue. Whether people eat meat or not is their decision and it is approved in the Bible.

Now, people going out and hunting for sport is something I whole heartedly disagree with. God bless.

they are still uninformed, as you likely were just a few months ago. Just because you became enlightened, doesnt mean everyone is. I thought I knew alot about food, but didn't have a clue about how unsanitary meat is, or how shockingly cruel the meat industry is. I think most consumers are simply unaware. Remember, before you knew, you were eating dead flesh and justifying the killing of animals too...

Being a vegitarian is your personal choice. Sure sometimes I feel bad that animals have to die for us to eat them... but, they just taste so good! I can't help it! I'm sorry if you have a problem with that but then again, I'm sure there are people who have a problem with vegitarians so... don't spend so much time worrying about everyone else... it's not worth your time! Trust me...

oh yeah and killing a plant that cant even run and hide is less cruel?? yeah right

meat: gooooood
vegetales: gooooood

i eat all
i dont wear fur coz i dont like it
im aganist killing for fun and all that, i think we should only kill what we need....


and we need death animal*s flesh to eat hohoh

People eat it because they feel it's part of life, like the circle of life.. Humans are the top predators. Honestly, it's a bit hypocritical of you to say "How can you justify the killing of innocent animals" because innocent animals are killed for leather, gelatin: in many candies, Pop-Tarts, some photo paper, jello, most yogurt, and also many types of cheese contain retina, which is from the stomach of cows. So if you're not eating or wearing any of those things, you can say oh, the poor little innocent animals. If not, get some other good reasons for not eating animals because that is an extremely ignorant argument.

I love both vegetables and meat.
We don't always have to like what each other eats.

I wonder what your stand is against killing babies in the womb?
{S}

YOU-dont no what ur missing`-it makes u strong-and-energetic`-d`ya no theres meat produce in something you eat surly`do you read all the LABELS`-I THINK IL Leave the salad to the-ANIMALS`--DOyou eat fish n CHIPS`

i think whatever....i am a proud veggie eater...and how the heck do you know that god out us here to eat meat?

do you eat your cat> your dog?

how come they would be any different then eating a cow or pig...

and how do i know that you aren't sussposed to at meat...?

i don't its my choice, my opinion.

so please don't say

"its what its for. god ut it here for us to eat."

do you speak to god?

asked him this?

i don't think so.

1) The animal population would get out of control unless we continue to eat and kill them or unless we found a governement agency willing to fund the cost to find and spay/nueter all animals currently around and then current species would eventually all die out. Which option sounds better to you?
2) Everyone has different tastes and some people really like the taste of meat
3) To get the necessary protien intake your body needs meat is an excellent source, so is beans but most people want variety in thier diet.
4) Its really not your place to dictate to others what they should eat. Just like religion and politics wether or not to be a vegetarian or meat-eater is each individuals personal choice and preference and should be left alone.
5) I totally agree with the fur thing. Fur farming has GOT TO STOP!

Gee whiz! All these meat eaters have just convinced me that all these decades of being a veggie were just a worthless waste of time!

I have decided that they are right about all this food chain stuff and I want to be on top instead of being down on the bottom with all the other herbivores.

Since I am going to be at the top of the food chain I think I'll start by eating tasty long pork!

After all, if g_d made us to eat meat and wants us to eat meat why shouldn't I eat meat!!

But since I'm now at the top of the food chain I'm going to start by eating people!!

After all, people are made of meat!!!!


Sarcasm mode: off

its a personnel preference. u don't eat meat i happen to eat it. doesn't mean I'm going to call u hateful names like veggie eater! give it a couple more months u will be back to munchin burgers in no time.
