Meat is good for you =/

People who don't eat meat are unhealthy, strict vegetarians put on more weight than they did before they ate meat. Spaghetti is unhealthy, Celery isn't good for you theoretically all vegetables are unhealthy on their own, they don't contain important minerals and vitamins.

Well, I dont like to see the animal being killed and things. There are some situations I dont like to eat it though.

Like I can eat tacos, because that you dont think of eating the cow. But I dont like turkey, because you see it when you are about to eat it, and its called turkey :( Then I just cant stop thinking about it

Like with steak- I love steak, and it doesnt "Look" like a cow. But then look at fish... you see the fish. I cant take that.

I hope that made sence

In my mind, there are always going to people who eat it, and the animal is already dead, so mine as well eat it. :p I have enough control to not eat it, and I dont eat much anyway, but whatever.

Thats the only thing I find wrong, others can kill the animal for me and give me the meat :P

I like chicken, its healthy for you and it doesnt normally come dry, unless you cooked it wrong... Beef is good for you

I'm not for or against eating meat, it really is just an individual choice really but at the end of the day animals will be killed anyway. =[ I'm not a vege, I mean I eat meat but I'm just not that keen on it so I hardly have it. But Stratocas, I know what you mean about the fact that some foods are actually still like.. animal like and.. aww.
What I don't understand though, that some people don't eat meat because it's "cruel" yet they eat fish? When fish suffer the most.

^ Same.
I don't like the idea of them dying, so I'd be against eating it. But I accept it's well.. needed in the diet? So I'll eat it anyway... Not usually 'on its own', more like in tacos, burgers and stuff like that =/ If there's salad with it you think less about the meat O=]
I don't actually like bacon, steak, pork and that anyway...

We shouldnt feel sorry for the animals because they dont realise what is happening to them and in away they dont even know whre they are or waht to do. All they know is Eat, Defend, Attack, Snuggle, Drink and kinda Socialise. But then we lead up feeling mean for killing them

Yep, and humans are the main.. I don't know what you'd call it.. It's all down to nature if you think about it - animals eat animals, animals eat plants etc and we are in fact animals, just more intelligent.
Wouldn't the foodchain unbalance majorly as well, if no one ate meat in the world?

Seafood is scanky I agree, even though it is the best meat for humans because we have evoleved to have it as a main source of food (we basically ate it from the start). Lamp is a bit fowl too but I can eat it.

And i cant stand people who eat lamb, fish and the fat off the meat,
First of all when you eat the fat.. think about it, you've ate the squishy bit
on a blumming animal ! , lamb! okay im a bit of a sheep lover, so what.. i disagree with anything or anybody who killz baby living things, its wrong , they havent been i the world for that long and they need to have a life :@
FISH.. omg i used to eat fish the thought of it makes me want to throw up!
Sorry you guys, you may think im gay saying this but, how can you say you feel sorry eating cows, pigs and that, when theres bloomin fish getting killed every minute of the day ! i mean come on , theres millions of fish in the sea,
most of them are going to be eaten.
I wanna turn begi but i cant stop myself eating burgers.
and chicken is horrible ! onyl time i like chicken is when i have small pieces at

Fish are incredibly healthy and humans have signifant and ovios adaptions persifcaly for eating them, your nose for one.

You do realise Cows, Fish, Sheep etc etc are extremely dumb? They are not conscious of their own living self, why would a baby lamb want to live to actually have a life when it isn't aware of it's own existence?

If animals we eat were aware of the life, the world would be extremely different...

You eat chicken with lots of grazy so you can't taste it? You must be ill, the grazy is way more unhealthy and un-nutricious than the actual chicken itself =/

I care for the animals but I want to survive and not let a pathetic animal that doesn't do anything for itself.

o.O If vegetarians switch their protein to a non-meat food, (eggs, milk, what, vege's etc) then they will be just as healthy than us, maybe even more so because they aren't getting all the fat from the animals.
"theoretically all vegetabls are unhealthy on their own" Well, of course it would be.. Anything on it's own would be unhealthy for you, as you need a variety of foods. Mm, and 3 of my friends who are vege are stick-thin but that may just be how they are naturally.

Incorrect the qualty of proteans gained from other sorces is far from the standards gain from meat "/
athogh this is more promant with vegans as eggs milk etc also conatin resonbvly high qualty proeatne sorces "/

Yeah, but I meant was if someone didn't eat meat they can get enough protein from other things to keep a balanced diet, which sort of comes down to both our points :p.

GommeInc
09-08-2005, 09:47 PM
Ever come across to you we need fat?

I don't see why people think that saying a list like that will convert people to vegetarianism, Vegans are more worse adn unhealthy and besides, if you don't like meat, don't be human. If you open your mouth you would see a type of pointy teeth known as canines and insicors, they are found together in most meat eating creatures and as we have them we are also meat eating creatures and we need meat to survive. Meat doesn't make you fat, it's what you cook it in that does that. You can get bulky eating beef, but that's because beef is filled with protein or something, maybe iron if not.

If I had the choice of a salad with aload of dressing and what not, and a roast dinner. I would go for the Roast Dinner because that would be more fitted my human consumption. Afterall, if I didnt want to eat meat, I would of become a Squirrel =/

Yeah, but I meant was if someone didn't eat meat they can get enough protein from other things to keep a balanced diet, which sort of comes down to both our points :p.
Nope, they need to eat far more larger quantities of grain, wheat, eggs than meat to get the same amount of levels.

Wich is one of the major reason a vegatain diet often makes people put on weight in realty rather than loose it "/

Precisely, unless you want to starve to lose wait but then again you will become ill =/

That's why there are so little Vegans that keep to their routine and you hardly see any.

I don't like the idea of animals put through suffering before they're slaughtered for meat, I eat chicken, some beef, and occasionally sausage. I would never eat lamb, purely because I can't help but think of how cute they are ='[ I eat beef mince, burgers and thats it really.. I'm fond of cows too "/ I don't think killing animals for food is wrong as such, although I'm not exactly a fan but when cows, chickens, pigs, etc are kept in filthy living conditions, force fed so they'll grow 3 times as fast, and even living in pain before they're killed as food.. i can't stand that thought =[

edit- no animal ought to suffer, especially if they don't have a life ahead of them anyway

If people dont eat meat because they don't like it or they don't like the thought of eating a dead animal then fair do's. But people who don't eat meat because they don't agree animals should be killed for food then I kinda see that differently because whether they eat it or not animals are still going to be killed for food.
What they don't eat is gonna be eaten anyway.

Actaully, that isn't true. If less meat is bought and more is wasted rather than being purchased by someone who doesn't eat meat because they feel it is wrong - then less packages meat will be made/processed in the future.

True, but vegetarians and vegans can always rely on protein powder and vitamin supplements rather than eating meat. You can actually be very healthy if you don't eat meat.


Personally, I believe that animals were put on this Earth for our needs. I don't think that they should be killed for sport, but I do think that it is fine to kill an animal for food. After all, if no animals were killed - we would have a major overload of animals due to rapid reproduction.

It's pretty simple when you look at it.
Most of the meat we eat was bred for food - If we didn't eat them, they wouldn't exist.
I eat meat, but I'm very against animals being kept and slaughtered inhumanly, I only eat free range eggs/meat etc.
As for vegetarians - a lot of them are young people becoming veggie because someone they admire (famous or not) is - sad but true fact.
I really despise the PETA organisation because their media material (videos, literature etc) is VERY biased, they also have a website goveggie.com or something, which they blatantly use celebrities to promote vegetarianism - I feel this is rather brainwashing.
I personally eat meat, but I also feel that vegans (NOT vegetarians) have every right not to, and they can supplement meat with other things.
Vegetarians are just one big contradiction - they don't eat meat, but drink dairy, eat fish/eggs, other animal products in food items, and probably wear leather shoes etc.
I hope this makes sense, I'm sorry if it doesn't, I'm suffering from lack of sleep!

Respect the food chain and eat meat. I like meat, im not very fond of red meat though, however I still eat it.
I do disagree with eating meat that has been cut from a suffering animal that had been born and kept in a factory for its entire life, hate animal cruelty.
Also.. I would never eat cat meat, or anything like that :@
