Know what I love? Eating beef. Beef's gotta be the best thing ever discovered to be edible. If I were president, I'd build a palace out of beef, and my throne would be beef. And all of my nobles would be cows. But I'd get new nobles every day because at the end of every day, my nobles would be slaughtered for that night's dinner

This is just another thought. I can't say that humans were not designed to eat some meat, but the interesting thing is that we are perfectly able to do with out it. You seem to be very concerned with staying fit. A vegetarian diet has a lot less fat then a regular Western one, which is one reason that many Eastern countries have lower obesity rates than the U.S. It also takes approximately 31 pounds of grain and a great deal of water to grow one pound of beef. Many vegetarians and vegans have chosen to not eat meat not because of animal rights issues, but because of world hunger. Cattle also need a lot of room for grazing. This has to come from somewhere, and the farmland that could be saved by not being used to graze cattle could be used to produce a great deal more grain. This surplus food could be used to feed people worldwide.

They don't graze anymore. they lock the crap out of cattle, who have no room to move, and never learn how to stand up because of their lack of space.

They lie down, piss, and shit on themselves until someone comes along and slits their throat.

Think of all the piss that was absorbed through your 'hunk-of-meat's' skin next time your eating, and then realize that it won't just burn away by cooking it.

Even if it did, you'd have piss-gas stuck in side your steak, which would be equally as bad.

HELL Next time you fart realize thats fucking old cow piss that passing through your fucking ass into the air of the classroom,

and then die.

Way to buy into traditional vegetarian myths. First of all, meat does contain vitamins that plants do not have. Vitamin B12 is not found in plant foods, and therefore, while some vegetarians do have sources of this vitamin in their diets, complete vegans do not. In case you didn't know, a deficiency in vitamin B12 will eventually lead to anemia no matter how healthy you think you are. Vitamin A is also only found in animal fats and organs (liver

Cattle can be used for... shelter?

Now that's something I wasn't aware of before this informative Livejournal entry.

P.S., I think I speak for the majority when I say that no-one cares whether you enjoy your meat, Tom.

Have a fantastic day.

Cattle can indeed be used for shelter in countries where, you know.. lumber isn't as common as in the U.S.

So I'm glad you learned something.

Re: 2nd Post.

Explain how it's possible for cattle to be commonly used as any kind of dwelling?

Guys. Give it a break. I'm not a vegetarian, nor will anyone ever be able to convince me to be. I just like meat to much. I think Tom is pretty much the same way. Sorry Karoline, but I think that you were a little out of line on attacking him. I mean, Tom CAN and WILL be an asshole, but I believe here he was attempting to be humorous, not offend. It had almost a maddoxesque quality.

The debate on vegetarianism is a stale and boring one. You can rip me appart with as many arguments you want to about morality, but I could make as many against eating plants. So lets just drop it. It's not important. And no one cares.

Tom I don't think you should attack her on not forming opinions, all she did was say what she believed, and then cite facts to support it. This is the very nature of intellegent argumentation.

Have a nice day

Not attacking her, just.. pointing out why she's completely wrong..

[whitefang_yo]

You're right?

Over hundreds of millions of people who disagree with you?

That's some ego, there, kid.

And no respect for those hundreds of millions of people, either.

You may have billions who agree with you, but if a war was declared over it, i think the vegetarians would win.

Granted, vegetarianism is certainly not the only, or best way to solve world hunger. It's probably not even the most practical way. Something needs to be done about the "greedy bastards" first. This is an interesting website you might want to look at: http://www.rprogress.org It has a link to check your "ecological footprint", or what effect your own daily activities have on the enviroment. There are a few questions linked to diet.

About the health of a vegetarian diet: I only know one person who is completely vegan. Most vegetarians eat dairy products or eggs, and don't have any problem getting their vitamins. The vegan person that I know is a 43 year old woman who takes dietary supplements and doesn't have any problems.

However, on all of this, I definately have to agree with Shea. This is a very old and very boring argument. Continue enjoying your steak, as I will continue enjoying my soy products.

dude. youre an idiot. this kinda pissed me off. dont make generalizations about vegetarians. I think "meat eaters" are more fucking of assholes than vegetarians, as a result of being veg and hearing about it and reading it.
