But if you don't like meat or meat products and don't wanna eat 'em, more power to you. But don't criticize and hate on meat eaters.

Till then, i'm still going to eat a shit ton of chicken, beef, eggs, and milk along with my fruits and veggies. Cheers! Basically i see no advantage to becoming a vegan, and certainly cant afford to support animal rights. | ||

Nobody in this thread who claims to be vegan has opened with an insult. To your standards no, but it's quite funny to see those fine folks claim that they have the moral high ground from behind their "made by a kid in third world country" monitor. It's hard to live without getting criticized by people who have to use shocking videos to get their point across even when the video doesn't completely represent any mainstream practices in that domain. That holier than thou BS is just getting old. If you think you're so much better because you don't eat meat, I suggest that you inspect every aspect of your life and you'll realize that much of your happiness comes from the suffering of someone or something else. Your cheap electronics don't pop from nowhere, for instance. Even vegans would have to severely alter their lifestyle to patch things up. | ||

OP, how is it that you think women needed to be treated like nothing but your sex objects, but animals are to be treated with the utmost respect. Seriously man, you need to rethink life. | ||

no. some of the methods are cruel, but you cant just say "oh, thats mean dont do that.." it is necessary that we feed the population of the world so we can survive...not everyone wants to eat tofu with some vitamin pills on the side. you dont go out to the lions that slaughter and eat the zebras and complain that it isnt right, do you? we are animals...we eat other animals. what do vegans not understand about that??? lol.. i can understand why vegans do it, and thats fine as long as thats what they feel is personally right, but what annoys me more than anything, is saying its WRONG to eat what we want. boo hoo, we kill some animals, but its in our dna! we have evolved to kill and eat the lesser animals on the food chain. even the title of this thread annoys me..shut up man its your opinion, dont say "fuck humanity" just because you think its wrong. the title should at least be changed.. =/ + Show Spoiler + going to cook up a steak w/ some eggs right now as well ^^ | ||

I don't eat meat haven't for like 9 years now and even when I did it was just barely. It's a spiritual thing I guess. But for all you meat eaters you should seriously pay attention to what kind of meat you eat, whatever farmers do in attempts to mass produce those animals with chemicals or growth hormones etc; that stuff goes into your system. And you can't know for certain if those chemicals can give you cancer or other medical complications. I mean these days people are born with all kinds of allergies, some people aren't vegan by choice but by genetics. The advantage of vegetarianism according to the energy pyramid; herbivores get more energy than carnivores, because plants have the most amount of energy. | ||

So, the two greatest scientists, two of the worlds greatest leaders, and 3/4ths of the most popular/financially successful artistic venture of the 20th century are all vegetarians. Does it mean anything? Not really, but it's absurd logic of vegetarian=greatness seems to fit well within the logic of some of the posters here. | ||

It's an immature point to point out. But it's also true. Also, you've quoted 1/4 of the post. It takes it out of context. :/ | ||

For every great vegetarian you can name, I can name 10 great non-vegetarians. So, of course it doesn't mean anything. | ||

It doesn't make much sense to me until i thought about. It's a Biology thing. Basically if you eat something that eats a plant you only get a fraction of the original energy of that plant. At the bottom are plants and other things that produce their own sugars and nutrients, above that are animals that eat plants, above that are animals that eat other animals, and finally are animals that eat dead ones. Some of the energy is lost between each step(used by the previous level).I have no idea how he's connecting that to vegetarianism though. (Vegetarian btw) | ||
