Vegetarians

pauldavid

I am sick to blimming death of vegetarians.

Working with a couple, whenever you produce a ham sandwich or such from your lunch box :shock: they start bleating on about how the poor piggywiggy had to suffer so that I could selfishly eat him just like the big bad wolf.

I have a dislike for pallid whisps of *iss that only eat vegetables but I don't tell them that every morning when they turn in for work. As much as I'd like to.

I like the taste of and will continue to eat cooked cows and pigs so keep your opinions to yourselves!

Anyway rant over, I've now had an idea.

If we were to kill and eat all vegetarians there would be many benefits

1 the animals would get to live

2 the veggies would stop complaining

3 when all the veggies had run out we could go back to eating animals and there would be no-one to complain.

Seems like a win-win situation all round.

Incidentally, I was once involved in spit-roasting a vegetarian although I didn't really taste it once finished as it was covered in Gentlemans relish and personally I prefer ketchup :shock: [/b]

General hate, topped off with misogyny.

Cool story.

I have a couple of Veggie friends, and whilst I don't hate them for it, it's a pain when they come around for dinner. I'll always go out of my way and cook Veggie dishes for them, but when we go to their house for dinner, do they cook a meat dish for me ? No, they enforce their Veggie views on myself and I'm served the same tasteless sh*t that they chose to eat. :roll:

People Eating Tasty Animals

MountainMonster

The problem with vegetarians isn't their views, it's the way they force them onto everyone around them. If someone is vegetarian, cool, no problem for me. But once they start giving it the old "your an animal murderer just to eat" and talking about suffering of animals, then I start having a real problem. Humans are meat eaters by nature, have always been, and always will be.

Next time they start giving it the old suffering story, show them this video:

I love dead animals, they taste good.

Why do people who work in Health Food shops always seem to look close to terminal? :shock:

Real men don't like meat in them


And I love the way cyclists generalise about veggies the same was as drivers do about cyclists,

funny, I'm sick to death of whinging meat eaters getting defensive all the time or quizzing you when they find out you are a veggie.

How come all the people who work in fast food shops and butchers are fat with pasty white skin?

rant over.

Up unitl a few years ago I used to eat anything with a pulse but now I'm 95% vegetarian. The 5% will either be the occasional steak (from a 'happy' cow ) when I feel that I need extra iron or a tin of mackerel (MSC certified) post ride for an extra protein kick.

Can't stand the way animals are treated and the oceans are critically fuxked. I doubt my actions will help save the planet - but being a veggie certainly makes me feel physically better.

Don't get me started on vegans though…what a bunch of cnuts! :x

I have no issue with Vegitarians, untill they start making demands when I do them the favour of cooking for them.

Feel to not eat at mine, but don't tell me what I can and can't cook.

And don't make me buy a piece of meat and cook it only for you not to eat it either.

It's a pointless exercise for everyone concerned, and it offends me.

My Wife is a veggie. Doesn't force her views on anyone. Cooks meat for me and the kids. Just chooses not to eat it.
They're not forcing their view on you because they're veggies, it's because they're sanctimonious cnuts. Much like some reformed smokers. I don't smoke but I wish they'd shut up about other people.
There are merchant bankers in all walks of life. Deal with it.

I'm veggie. Never forced my views on anyone. kiernanb and veronese have it spot on. Lifes too short, just enjoy what you enjoy.

Thats rich - you haven't even invited me for dinner!

Seriously though, as a life long vegetarian, I know that eating meat is fundamentally wrong, but I also respect other peoples decisions, so although I'll happily discuss it with anyone who wants to, I will not preach on about it. After all, I've got better things to do, and don't really care if you give yourself nasty things like salmonella or BSE.

Unfortunately, as with many things in life, there are plenty of people (usually the recently converted) who feel the need to 'spread the word'. Just be thankful they are not pushing religion onto you!

Peace out people!

How is eating meat fundamentally wrong? That part I don't understand. Considering meat eating is in our nature, and we need the nutrients to survive, how is it wrong?

As opposed to eating contaminated bean-sprouts (??) from Germany (??)

It's not the meat that gives you salmonella, it's poor handling, storage and cooking that do that.

Humans are omnivores - its one of our great survival traits - eating meat is a dietry requirement - its also a more efficient and greener way of obtaining protein. If we didn't eat meat half the worlds forests would be destroyed and replaced with soya to support the worlds population at present levels

Love the balanced views in this debate

militant veggies are a pain, as are the militant 'I only meat, I'm not a rabbit' carnivores on the other side. Personally, I'm a veggie, but really, who cares? If you are happy eating whatever you want, then go for it. Be it meat, chocolate, lard or lentils, who is anyone to tell you what you shouldn't eat it?

Although I'd probably draw the line at Panda cub curry, or bald eagle omelette, but then, is it our fault they can't adapt as species to a changing world?

It's a personal choice, but that is what it is, a choice to eat meat or not eat meat, so if you eat meat it is your decision, don't hide it under some talk about nature or dietary requirements.

Man has long ago given up doing what is natural, I'm quite happy with that, my veggie lifestyle in northern Europe is quite easy to follow thanks to the global food market. I don't live in a cave, wear coarse animal furs and my job is not hunter gatherer, rather I live in a house, wear clothes made in factories (some even using synthetic fibres!) and work for a modern multi-national working at a computer screen.

Anyway I think it is a bit obvious that some replies here are trolling a little (winking at J DubbleU here).

Note, it if you can't be assed cooking veggie food for your good friends just invite them over for drinks! I'm sure they won't miss your attempts at a nice veggie dish

What I mean, is that to me, it is wrong - however I respect other peoples choices, and don't try to convert them.

There is plenty of evidence for and against eating meat, so without getting into that argument, it comes down to personal choice. Unfortunately, as with many aspects of life, there are people who feel the need to push their views onto others, which I think is the real issue here...

However, saying the "eating meat is a dietary requirement" is clearly wrong! If that was true I'd have died a long time ago!

So, if I were to split hairs, you should really have used think.

Otherwise, we're all gonna drown in irony if we read the rest of the post!

Haven't you contradicted yourself here ?
