So because YOU are tired of animal cruelty the world has to STOP eating animals.. I could see if you were talking about hunting and not eating the animals... but we don't live in prehistoric times where we can dedicate our whole day to hunting and gathering... we actually have lives to live... and guess what if it's readily caught and available at the market why not just go buy some...


I've always wondered how people can just decide to make decisions for people..

I say

LIVE AND LET LIVE.

if you don't want to, don't...


opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, but not everyone has to SMELL them.. geeez

I've been a vegetarian for over ten years. Purely for ethical reasons, but I have no problem with others eating meat because I respect their right to do so. Animal Rights is something that I'm so conflicted on because I know their circumstances are never going to drastically change for the better. Call me selfish, but I'm not going to actively support a cause if I know it's going to be a waste of my time. I don't think animal rights activists go about achieving their goals in the right manner, and because of that I have always kept my opinions on this topic to myself. I certainly will not be joining the eccentrics outside of Harrods who lambaste them for their policy on fur. That's just not me. The end doesn't justify the means.

Love your stance...

You've never heard it? Professors at my school use it all the time.

Sis, I was vegetarian for a year. I only eat reduced amounts ethically-raised chicken and the meat my father hunts now.

You can have been a bit nicer in your approach. You can't force your eating habits on people.

At least TRY to make some changes in your diet. Include less meat if possible. If there's a vegetarian option, why not take it?

Because why should we? I am against animal cruelty but farming is just as valid as going out and killing meat yourself I do not understand why people want us to go back 50,000 years when the human race has come so far.

Same stance here. That's exactly why I don't eat meat.

Not sure I get it. You're saying a vegan diet would put us back 50,000 years? Or killing animals yourself would?

I watched a very close family friend die of a heart attack when I was eighteen and ever since then, I've adopted a more healthy lifestyle. No meat, no candy, no soda.

For me, it's not an ethical thing, it's strictly for health reasons.

That wasn't a dig at vegetarians or vegans, it was a dig at the "if you want to eat meat, you should have to kill it yourself!" argument which is nonsensical and over-used. As a meat eater I have no problem with people choosing not to eat meat.

No. It's bad enough I look like a ****ing twig. I need chicken to keep my weight balanced.

Oh, I didn't think it was a dig. I could tell what you meant would put us back, so I figured I'd ask. It was the second one, which I probably could have figured.

If you ask me, every argument in this debate is nonsensical and dumb. Yes, even the vegan ones. Everyone needs to cool their tempers about eating/not eating meat.

My aunt is vegetarian and when i went on holiday and was staying with her, she made only vegetarian foods. and i like meat but while i was there i didn't even miss it at all. her cooking >>>>

Anyway the point is that there are plenty of nice foods you can eat that don't contain meat. I'm not vegetarian but i only eat meat once or twice a week max and it is so much healthier for you. I do think its disgusting that some people eat so much meat though. People say its good for you but you're not supposed to have it in excess and for every meal
