Random Question, Vegans?
So, random time.
I happen to be a rather health oriented person, nothing in the crazy or fanatical side but I'm aware of my health and work to improve it. Always an on-going project. Recently I've spoken to many of my friends who happen to be Vegetarians, because it interests me. Note, these friends are the level headed type of Vegetarians, not the the kind that damage their health by not eating properly or such. After talking with them, I wanted to see what everyone's opinion -here- was. Think it's crazy? Think the basic premise has merit? What do you think about being a Vegetarian? |
I think it's pretty damn great. I'm not one myself... I've considered it but have been unable.
(Can't give up Taco Bell, that's for sure...) Came a lot easier to my cousin cause she saw Babe when she was little. I don't recall ever seeing all of it. But if somebody can do it, then props to em. Just as long as they still get enough protein from beans and such. |
If animals want rights, they should fight harder for them.

I was raised as a partial vegetarian -- I do not eat (and have never eaten) any form of red meat. I only eat poultry and seafood. I am a strong supporter of animal rights, and at some point in my life, I fully intend to give up meat entirely. The vegetarian lifestyle appeals to me for many reasons, health included.

I hear the novelty of lentils wears off once you realize they taste like shit. |

What infuriates me are celebrities who claim to be vegetarian and always campaign, then you see them strutting around in their genuine fur coats and their leopard skin thigh boots.
I like meat. Animals eat eachother, I don't see why these vegetarians don't go as far as to prevent this. And what makes people say "oh I only eat poultry and fish"? As though they have any less "rights" than other animals? To each his own imo. |
The ideal thing to do would be to grow meat from stem cells without producing a living animal, like on Eureka.
... then again, in Eureka it was given a growth hormone that made people who ate it stupid... But yeah, animals eat each other in the wild. I'm sure animals farmed for meat are probably the most apathetic things in existence. |
Seems like a split between opinions.. love all the discussion though!
I think I'll be dropping any red meat from my diet and moving onto a more vegetarian approach myself, it just seems 'right', for some reason. *shrug* |

Go for it mate, and good luck to you as well. I hope it goes well.

I eat like a fat man and therefore would find it impossible to give up meat, even if I wanted to. Not that I understand why one would want to, but ive never even considered this for a second.
As soon as I hear the word I also immediately think of those protestors etc. which is another reason not to go for it. |
I really never understood it before looking into it heavily as of late, besides the whole plethora of health reasons friends had spoken to me about.
After seeing what is done to process most of our meat, AND what it does to your health.. yeeah.. <sick> Wasn't that hard to decide, but we'll see how it is auctually living the lifestyle is. Thanks again for the support guys. :) |
What exactly does it do to your health?
I mean, it's fattening, but still...? |
I'm vegan when it comes to pizza. I only eat pizza w/ onions and bell peppers on top. My one teacher called me a freak when I told her this. Rude, eh?
