how about you?
na im not
Nope I'm not, I hate the idea of not eating meat :(
Lol Meats lovely, but im not going to go on because some veggies feel sick about comments like this
rofl, people say to me "how can you cope without meat?" but i've never ever had it, so i don't know what i'm missing innit (;
EDITTT;
kieran, i don't feel sick about meat ahar. it's a food process innit, i would eat meat but my body is so used to being without it it would be like a protein overload. i envy people who had the choice to be vegetarian.
ah i see but people r like
DNT EAT TEH BEEF CUZ ITS A LITTLE PIGGY
yh i realised beefs from cows -.-
Not eating meat is a stupid choice, Why choose to develop avitaminosis (sp?)

But i have been vegan about 4 months, and tbh i have never been better i havent been ill since i was vegi. And whatever we so called to get from animals we can get from plants.
No I'm not, I like meat too much.
not really but when im home i dont normally eat meat cause i normally eat what my sister eats & shes vegetarian.
I'm veggie, have been for about 5 years. But then I never ate any great amount of meat before then anyway.
i dnt think i'd be able to survive without meat. i gotta have it.
Either way, something has to die to feed another. Plants and other vegetables are alive...They need water, they grow, they need sunlight. They are all alive just like us and animals. So others could say its wrong to eat vegetables because there alive aswell. Its all about the cycle of life.
In your town you have to catch you dinner so its a dog or leaves, easy choice if you ask me ;)Quote:

im a meateater. I have relatives who are vegetariens, but if you still eat fish think about how they have suffered
Plants don't have central nervous systems, nerve endings, or brains ... in other words, they don't feel pain!Quote:

No. A balanced diet needs vegetables AND meat. If you do not eat meat, or vegetables for that matter, you are not getting a balanced diet.
No protein in your diet stunts growth. Too much meat clogs the ateries. You need a balance.
Oh ye, but i dont eat animalsQuote:

So if we need meat, how come some animals dont eat meat?Quote:

Because we are NOT cows are we? Scientific evidence shows we were built to eat meat. Your canines are to tear flesh. Supliments will help but you will not get the natural value. Plus those supliments were probably tested on Animals anyway. :rolleyes:Quote:

Well instead off spending it on research for that, why didnt they spend it on ways to make fake meat, kinda like quorn or tofoQuote:

Using any PETA webiste is no valid evidence since most things on PETA are bias and one sided, and their videos are staged. Also, they kill more animals than they save.Quote:

It does affect your health.Quote:
