Why do you still eat meat?

because the bible says it's yummy and they prepared it for the gods to please them

I don't mean to burst you bubble, but plants are life. Anything organic lives, period.

Hitler was a devote vegetarian.

A utopian view based on one's own version of idealism is known as tyranny.

Oh wait, its not tyranny when its you right?

No

or maybe the bible is bullshit?

what are your views on Venus fly traps OP?

or how about the 'sheep killer'?

now isn't THAT a turn up eh?

even the plants disagree with you.

I stopped eating meat a few months ago. Glad I did, I just feel much better.

I tried a couple of times before but could never break the meat habit, got it licked this time. Just no desire to eat any more meat.

It's none of our business what others are eating, unless it's one of the 925 million hungry people on this planet who are not eating enough, or not eating at all.

Every day, almost 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes. That's one child every five seconds. In the time it takes to read this post, 6 or 7 children have died.

Let's get our priorities straight :) If we have enough spare time on our hands to sit around and judge others for what they eat, then we have enough spare time to put food in the mouths of those who have none.

Although I have cut down my meat consumption dramatically, I must admit I still eat some.

I think it has to be genetics, because every so often i absolutely CRAVE it. I suspect that my ancestors were hunter-gatherers...possibly Germanic, because there are times I must have pork...this is my biggest failing in life.

With the exception of that dirty little animal, all the other meat I eat must be organic.

I agree with the above. But, and here's the rub, growing meat unfortunately takes too many resources to be a good option on this oh so over populated planet. I've not eaten red meat for over 25 years..the reason?...slaughterhouses remind me too much of the death camps in nazi Germany. It would seem that humans have finally discovered that all life in sentient. ( well, duh!!) It would also seem that many of the people who work in these places enjoy their jobs a little too much.

And how much of the meat you buy IS healthy? Probably not much once its been treate with sodium nitrite, carbon monoxide etc. If you want to eat this..be careful bout what you buy.

Then stop wearing cotton, living in homes, driving on roads, competing with animals for the water, infecting the air, basically STOP FUCKING LIVING or shut up.

STOP FUCKING LIVING.

Yep this is the plan behind VEGANISM and a LOT of other $hit going on now.

Do you really think those running things care about people starving?

Do you really think those running things care about our health?

Here is what they care about

I stopped eating meat 2 years ago.

I do too, and so should you.

We should strive to live on, and with the planet, and not be in a war with it.

It happens to be healthy to not eat animal products

Because I don't want to be scrawny and weak.

What a waste of time and effort the last 3 years I have spent in the gym would have been, if I didn't eat animal protein.

Our bodies are designed to digest animal protein - our stomachs create digestive enzymes specifically for meat.

That's only one point for the argument against veganism.

Did y'all know soy is a natural testosterone killer?

And who said our teeth are designed for a vegetarian diet... what is the point of having these nice K9's of mine?

Catching up reading all your replies..

I drastically reduced my meat consumption over the last year and a half and stopped buying it altogether about 5 months ago. I've only had it on a small handful of occasions since then. I still eat fish but rarely does that happen.

I don't feel any different since removing it from my diet - no worse, no better. I have to say I still have cravings for meat.

Were you out back in the garden slaughtering carrots???

wow!!!!!

thanks Sweden

This^

Not to mention some other facts that really get in the way of pure vegan's utopia diet.

The brain uses roughly 50% of the calories we consume. Of those calories, its REQUIRES! proteins and fatty acids only found in certain types of meat, namely fish.

Fish and egg proteins keep the brain fed and healthy.

Now gluten is another topic, that shit is fucking poison, at least the vegans have that much right.

Sounds like double-standard bull shit. With that line of thinking,it would be ok to eat your children. And if you eat something that was living before you ate it,its gonna die at some point. Congrats,you get the first flag i`ve ever thrown The B.S. is strong with this one..

I eat meat less than I eat non-meat products.

I heard you eat meat....LOL-JK

I like your hunch. Meat eating is why we are enslaved. We don't know how it locks us into the matrix of violence. I think people who eat meat are really easy to control because they think they need it.

Two questions:

1. If Humankind is not supposed to eat meat then Who taught us to do so?

2. Where in Humankind's entire history is a vegetarian race that has survived to the present day? Where is the race that shows generation after generation of vegetarianism?

It's not about whether you choose to eat meat or wear fur/leather goods it's about how animals are treated. Far too often these two issues are lumped together; whilst encouraging an environment of misinformation and intolerance.

Treating animals with kindness and respect should be paramount and part of what we stand for as Humans.

Being grateful to ALL animals whose lives are sacrificed for our sustenance and comfort is something that should be practiced each and every day. And, all efforts must be made to ensure that their lives are void of fear and cruelty.

- Do we probably consume more than is necessary? Yes.
- Is the meat being sold in supermarkets today healthy? No.
- Is the PTB behind the vegetarian movement to weaken society and further divide the masses? Probably.

Next thing you know vegetarians will want to marry each other.
Back in the closet, mind your own business and we'll mind ours.

So omnivores are evil? Why do we have canines and a short intestinal tract?

Got a nice roast in the oven right now...

1 Timothy 4:3

King James Version (KJV)

3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

By the responses we can see just how difficult it is as a question..and probably to stop eating meat altogether..

doesnt it make sense that whatever it was that was prohibited by God was something extremely addictive?
