Thinking about going Vegan

[GothicSeraph]

I guess that could work for some people, since I can't eat veggies I will stay carnivorous.

Fair enough, I think there are certainly ways to reduce the harm inflicted on animals without abstaining from meat altogether. Unrelated, but why can't you have veggies? Do you just not like them enough to maintain a plant-based diet or do you have a medical reason?

80% of my diet is meat.  The rest is vegetables and brown rice.  I personally consider most vegetarians to be vapid morons who say the stupidest shit, like 'I don't eat anything that was alive' and 'meat is murder' and shit like that.

Medically. But evrything I eat is local and or home raised

That's funny, I'd think that vegetarians have a higher base intelligence if there's any difference to be seen at all.

Like Equanimity said before, I agree locally sourced meats are the ethical choice. The meat industry is really the most condemnable entity involved in this issue, as far as I'm concerned, not small and regional farmers.

Yeh, thanks for the link.  It says you vegetarians are smarter, so it must be true.  I believe everything I read, just like you do.  I guess I am dumber than the people who avoid eating meat to ease suffering and assuage their conscience, while they munch on plants that sometimes are still alive, and possibly 'suffer' in inconceivable ways.  We really have no idea what it 'feels' like to be a plant.  If vegetarians truly cared about easing suffering, they would fucking starve themselves to death and shut the fuck up already.

Shush now, cats.  It's all over with, and everything will be okay.



Can you show us on the doll where the vegetarian touched you?

You know what?  This is the first funny post I have ever seen you make.  I actually laughed.  Fucking vegetarians.  Ridiculous.

Simmer down, honey. I only mean that your judgment that they're dumber is unfounded and this is my rebuttal. I realize it's likely not a significant article (I don't care for Psychology Today), but my point here is that the only data linking vegetarianism with intelligence is actually opposite of your claim.

My diet makes me aggressive toward vegetarians

I don't see ever going completely vegetarian myself but I am finding that I desire less and less meat as I age. Especially red meat...used to love a damn steak now I love about the first 3 bites then I am like meh about the rest of it. It really sucks sometimes. Seafood doesn't give me this reaction at all and only excessive amounts of chicken do. I guess eating less meat is not a bad thing but it is certainly not because it "had eyes" or some ridiculous nonsense.

On a somewhat related topic: the ethics of seafood confuse the shit out of me.  That whole mess seems best to avoid because you're never sure what's hurting the environment and what isn't.

No matter what you eat, there is 'suffering'.

Yeah but those plants had it coming.

Yay or Nay?

I rarely ever eat meat and just want to try it out with my gym regime.

I didn't read through all the other post but if you do decide to go vegan you can still intake all your needed vitamins, minerals, etc by eating sprouted grains and fermented foods. Also its best to eat vegetables in wide verity of colors. Different colors are attributed to vitamin/mineral content.
