Do you think this is odd?

[Thadius]

Well, not one but two of my friends are veggies and cannot stand the thought of eating meat.

However, they like to eat eggs. Now, to me that is a little wierd because its basically a chicken's baby.

Anyone think of any more odd eating habits?

 

[pikeh]

if its unfertilised then its not technically a chickens baby.
i dont get it though. dont understand why vegetarians eat fish. they say "ohh its becuase its had a good free life" well surely its harsher to kill a free fish thats swimming about thinking "man i've got it good" than kill a battery hen though?

 

[Azurus]

I used to be a vegetarian...


























































Until i discovered KFC

 

[Mabs]

eggs are ok cos the animal doesnt die in the process

vegitarians are ok tbh, if thats how u want to live.

now vegans, however, needs to be hunted down and killed , silly fuckers.

 

[Overdriven]

The fish thing I can't actually understand either.. Vegans are funny "OMG! IT HAS A SHADOW! CANT EAT IT!"

 

[old.Tohtori]

"I don't eat anything with a face", that's what my bro and other veggie buds say.

They do eat some from time to time.

Don't get the diatery though, well, just that the food is soooo much better when it has a slab of blood dripping cowa** on it

Also, no, if you don't want to eat animals, 'cause it's cruel, and eat fish, you're a genepool defect and should be put back there for a stirring.

vegetarians and vegans can fuck off tbh, holier than thou attitudes.. looking down their noses when u eat meat...

if the human race had been vegetarian during last ice age, we woulda died out. mammoths = food

its UNNATURAL for a human to be a veggy.. and if next ice age is immenent.. be interesting to see what those peeps do in order to survive.

Thank you for your qualified and well phrased post.

Actually, being vegetarian is natural. Our teeth and digestive system is designed for it.

BUT, if we hadn't resorted to eating meat, our brains would have developed far less and we wouldn't be where we are now. Partly the humans got on "top" by doing something rather unnatural.

Also eating meat helped, but we had other sources of fat(which is the argument for eating meat in extreme cold situations) that would've and could've helped us survive. But the proteins helping our brain grow and develop as it did, there was no real substitute then.

In case of a new ice age, the protein/fat/nutrition needed to survive would be there, in other forms of nutrition found these days, and also people would help people out. With the lack of survival fit animals around, i'd say i'm rather glad those veggies come up with variable choices of nutrition. Just in case.

Also, not all vegan/vegetarian are "holier then thou" and calling them such, is the same kind of extreme a-hole behaviour you're talking about.

I'm no veggie, i'm a full blown carnivore, but you shouldn't go around judging people so harsh if they choose they don't want to eat bessy or bobeeb.

No. Being a vegetarian is not """""natural""""". Our teeth and digestive system are not designed for it.

Hey *thumbs up* Great argument!

"Lalalalalalala i'm not listening!" worked when you were five and playing in the sandbox, this is adult world, learn to back it up.

Like say, a link to a comparison between herbivores and canivores and how humans fit?

Also, humans have flat teeth for squishing and mushing things. Not sharp teeth for ripping flesh/meat out of a body.

Humans are Omnivores -- The Vegetarian Resource Group
a link which says something different.

Then another link which contradicts this link :
Humans are NOT Omnivores

and another contradiction:
The Straight Dope: Are humans meat eaters or vegetarians by nature?

Basically the point I'm trying to make is that you can find a link to support whatever view point you decide to take, I tend to stick to wikipedia as a guide and make my own mind up from there. Its not always right, but it is a good starting point imo.

On topic, I believe that humans are omnivores. My reasoning is that if we were not supposed to eat meat, then we wouldnt beable to. Seeing as we can, and in most cases are better off for it, I see that as all the reason I need to eat meat.

I dont, on the other hand, think that vegans and vegetairans or whatever are overly unhealthy or wrong. The idiocy that some of them spout to anyone and everyone, however, IS unhealthy and (imo) wrong.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Yeah you can find an argument, and have to base your own opinions on many different sources, but none of them say that humans are explicit carnivores, so saying "being veggie is unnatural" is as saying "meat eating is unnatural". It's just plain dumb.

Omnivore works for humans, now. But we were herbivore, then started eating meat(probably 'cause of lack of food) and evolved. Most of our brain growth came just because of eating meat.

This species we have now, can handle both to quite an extreme degree. Hell, we can survive on bread and water, or in some(hearsay) cases without food.

Explain the existence of your appendix if humans were not designed to eat vegetation.

BAsically, we can eat everything!

So just why stick with just the one type of food?

But on that note, how come we cant digest carrots properly?

 

[Himse]

Humans actually need a balance of both you noobz :<

They need the stuff from meat and the stuff from vegetables so

 

[crispy]

As long as the vegetarians doesnt eat meat becase:

Its unhealthy

- or -

Its cruel

- or -

It uses precious farmland

Then its cool with me

because they probably have alot of celloulose? we cannot digest fibres and most vegitation consists of this to a higher exstend.
it is healthier to be vegatarian. but you need alot of variable veggies/fruits to get the amount of proteins and other needy stuff than from meat (because meat is almost only proteins)

 

[old.Tohtori]

No, they don't. It's simple as that. Can get meat-proteins/etc from other sources and can get veggie stuff from other sources.

I love meat. - If it could it would be all I ever had to eat.

Like the Inuits? They only eat fish and meat (uncooked tho)... I would like to see a vegan imposing his views on them xD

Hey.. meat is bad for you...
So... i shouldnt eat at all?

 

[Nate]

Why bothor yourself with something that doesn't involve you. I couldn't give a rats ass what someone else eats.

*chomps on pig snout burger*

If someones a vegetarian just for the sake of being able to say they are, then they are totally missing the point and most likely missing out on some good eating that they would rather enjoy.

My sister's a vegan because eating meat and dairy products makes her feel ill. Even if its a placebo effect it seems to work for her!

I honestly cant be bothered to find a link that says what i just said, but thats what i remember from school. And i paid attention in the biology class!


We're supposed to eat both meat and veggies.
