Aimee Meat is GOOD!! God gave us the wisdom to genetically engineer cows for the purpose of food and profit. That's right folks.. cows, chickens, fish that's right they food! and remember, kurt cobain did state "it's okay to eat fish, 'cause they don't have any feelings" it's true!!! so eat your fish and eat your cow and if you're still hungry, eat your bloody chicken, because it's supper time folks and a salad ain't gonna do it! 010922
...
Joana. A salad will definitely not do the trick for quenching your hunger, but if you open your mind a little bit, you may be intelligent enough to find much better and healthier alternatives to meat, such as soy, tofu, seitan, fruit vegetables, cereal... if you match them well you get a much more substantial meal than the average meat-based alimentation.
I'm not against anyone who eats meat, but I feel particularly offended whenever someone is ignorant about the whole matter.
Bon apetit.

Spellchecker A kilo of meat is made from 10 kilos of grain. There are 5 million starving children, women and men in Afghanistan alone. To consume a kilo of meat and so deny any possibility that 9 kilos of grain will get to any of those people seems to be a lot like murder. Oh, shame on me, maybe it's only terroristic greed. I need to check my dictionary. 011010

mmm BEEFY! i'd be just as willing to eat starving people as cows

sure, they'd be a little gristly, but hey.

confused so, I shouldn't eat meat because there are too many people in afganistan? 011010

white_wave i didn't get around to buying that record. and now there aren't records anymore. 040221

white_wave i just realized no one was talking about a Smiths album. i went a long time without thinking that what I was eating was once a cute animal. and then I thought I'd never eat my cat. Cows, chickens and pigs aren't quite as cute, but they still are creatures with feelings. I have sympathy for them, and then I stop eating them for a while. But then I can't help myself and I crave a hamburger. At least I saved a few critters here and there. 040221

Frost Hell, if you'd rather have a turkey, with it's head chopped off, it's feathers plucked off, it's blood drained out, it's organs scooped out, and it's flesh burnt in an oven, all for your eating enjoyment, go ahead, I have no power to stop you. Proud vegetarian 040227

misstree you have no power to stop me
insinuates that you have desire.
i have deep respect for vegetarians
but i am a conscientous omnivore,
so kindly keep your opinoins out of my gullet.

i would eat my cat. i hope that my dearest_ones will eat me when the time comes. i put fruits and vegetables in the same category as meat; holy sustenance, just barely removed from the source, the living being. now, twinkies, those i won't touch, nor do i enjoy consuming anything of their overprocessed ilk. my dietary habits come from a very strange moral set; your openmindedness in this matter is appreciated.

Hal Incadenza dietary proscriptions and occluded arterial issues aside, i find the whole vegetarian thing..the really wide eyed and rabid vegi prosyletizer type person and by association his/her rigorous dietary hoops needed to jump through to express like really admirable and no equine excrement whatsoever fealty to a "lifestyle" to be really kinda creepy and not to mention onerous..and yeah given the whole being 3 clicks from a coronary and all i can definately see how someone would really embrace the whole fastidious and stark renovation of a diet and life and possibly an unglutted arterial appreciation and or at least appreciation of some spiritual type kind of expressions and acknowledgements at least in the short term until the rosy glow of eluding death's slinging corotted cholestreral enriched blood blade and all..still i think it's kinda onerous..i'd go nuts without at least some chicken and perhaps other non-gamey and possibly domesticated but not necessarily mass produced, industrially farmed fowl..and maybe a little mackeral or halibet to change it up... 040227

thieums I think the general idea should be : if you want to eat meat, then kill it yourself. It's too easy to leave the dirty work to slaughterhouses and butcheries - want a piece of cow ? Then get the cow. Many, if not all, meat-eaters would not eat meat if they had to do this.

dosquatch I do not mind vegetarians. Rather, I respect the choice that they have made. All I ask is that they return the favor. I am not shoving steak down anybody's gullet, as I have no right to force my choices on others.

Why is it, then, that so many vegetarians seemingly insist on forcing their dogma upon me? It's nearly as bad as all of the religious zealots stopping me with their armful of flyers, "Have you found Jesus?"

Hell, I didn't know he was missing.

Let me explain this simply - the human organism is designed to be omnivorous in nature. We can eat, or not, just about whatever we want. I want steak, you don't. fine, neither of us is going to die.

Animals suffer? So do I. Kirlian photography tends to indicate that plants do as well - changes are detectable in one part of a plant when another part is damaged. Not that I expect anybody to quit eating their vegetables based on that.

What I do expect is that, rather than argue with me, you should go argue the zebra's rights with the lion that's stalking it and see how far you get. Please, now, because my steak is getting cold.

out_of_it how can you live with yourself knowing that You are personally responsible for the mass slaughter of thousands of innocent animals. ITS SO UNNECCESSARY! For little or no extra effort those animals that you've murdered can still be alive. Even Free- hell i can dream can't i. would you kill and eat your best friend for no reason? would you kill their mother? their son? 040601

again If you slaughtered and ate a human you would get life imprisonment (or a lethal injetion). If you slaughter a calf, you get $2.50/kg. HOW FUCKED UP CAN YOU GET 040601

Lemon_Soda I'd eat people if it were legal. Go tell the tiger, the wolf, or the shark that they are murderers and watch them blink and run(or swim) off and keep doing what they are doing. Killing is akin to the nature of any predator and if we don't consider ourselves predators than the only other definition that fits is a virus. I'd much rather be a predator than a virus... 040610
...
puredream I am Vegetarian. Personal choice. If you want to eat meat. Eat away.

PS How is one person responsible for what you called "the slaughter of thousands of innocent animals"? If someone could eat thousands of animals in a lifetime I think I'd personally want to shake their hand. That's quite the feat.

common sense kid the fact is folks, you just can't compare a cow to a human.
What do cows do? They stand around, eat the grass, and poop. They don't speak, they don't make things.. heck, my uncle shot a cow in the eye with a bb gun and it hardly flinched. cows are stupid.
People at least SEEM to be doing something worthwhile. You shoot them with a bb and they scream for crying out loud.
I mean really, all you vegetarians are eating the animal's food! Then what! THEY"RE gonna starve!
Heck, I mean, before you know it, we're gonna have people who are fighting for algae rights.... just cuz it's alive.

just being silly if a cow is stupid and you are what you eat I'd be pretty hard pressed to pick between algae and beef. We eat energy. We are energy. We must save our energies and conserve energy generally so yes, let's save the algar. great idea 050121

Carmina Burana My vote of appreciation to the first entry on this page.

That being said, it is true that growing grain and vegetables uses up less resources than grazing animals.
It would probably make sense to reduce meat consumption, even if you don't want to be a full-time vegetarian.
