On from that point if the majority of humans were to become vegetarians then what exactly would happen? Less mammals would be bred so therefore the animals wouldn't have lived atall. Humans give them life by breeding them for our food, and then we take it away. Hell if we gave up eating meat then we would be over-populated with animals and that wouldn't be too good.

At the end of the day, when I tuck into my lovely roast beef with all the trimmings I am thinking about myself - number 1 in the food chain. And when I stay healthy because of this meat which helps growth/repair in my body and I go on to have healthy children then I am totally not giving a **** about what you're saying.

I didn't aim that post at you though...I aimed it at the preaching vegetarians. The ones who tell us to stop eating meat yet won't accept us telling them to eat it.

I agree with gangster. Being vegetarian is your choice and I respect that but please, please don't try and impose your views on us.

There is a new grain that has been grown and a small portion of it contains as much protein as 3 rashers of bacon!

Mmmm, fungus... Delicious fungus... I prefer the real thing, not some annoying substitute that tries to make vegetarians a tad normal. Let's make Quorn Burgers! Or Quorn bacon! Can't they call it streaks of quorn and another cool, quorn name for burgers and not use a name associated with meat? It's as if you still like the meat name, but not the meat.

I only respect vegetarians that simply do not like the flavour or texture of meat, or meat makes them ill. Vegetarians who care about the animal are just pathetic excuses for human beings...

Also some vegetarians dont like the handling of meat either.

I dont eat fish but vegetarians can eat fish as a fish is not classed as an animal. Wearing leather has nothing to do with vegetarianism neither doesnt handling meat.

All being Vegetarian means is you dont eat animals.

Im pretty strong vegetarian but i dont go around going be vegetarian or your a killer or im vegetarian so im cool. Whats the point?

Vegiratain means someone who doesnt EAT meat. What you ware is completely and utterly irreliveant to weather your vegirtain or not, so unless you eat your leather jackets it has no effect on how strong a veggie you are.

Then again, strong vegirtain means **** all, as does semi-vegitrain (pescatarians). You eather EAT meat or you do NOT eat meat.
Vegitrains CAN eat animal products, it is specifically meat you cant eat in order to be a vegitrain. You eather Are one or your Are not one

I am NOT one.

I am not a preacher, I mearly ask for people to respect my views as I respect theirs! also with wearing leather its a bit hypocritical its basically saying "Im not gonna eat dead animals but I dont mind wearing them"

I do quite like fungus. I mean Quorn! But still, a human refusing to eat meat is like a shark refusing to swim. It's against nature.

Maybe not that extreme. Replace shark with cat or dog and replace swim with refusing to eat meat and you have a good example :P Although I do agree with your example :P
