Meat is murder?
I was just wondering how many vegetarians we have on the forum? As someone who has only recently become a non meat eater, I would be interested to hear what led people to make this lifestyle choice? For me it was my son that gave me the initiative, he had done a project on the subject in school which involved a lot of research. I discovered things that I found distasteful and my son got a little upset about it and announced he wanted to go vegetarian. Being an animal lover myself I decided we would both go for it. I missed meat at first, but its a lot easier now. Don't get me wrong, I still get tempted but have so far managed to resist, and it helps that I love veggies and salad. Anyone want to share their experiences?

These threads always go bad :laugh: |
I use to be a Veggie, but my family didn't support it and kept serving me meat and when I refused to eat it I was punished and stuff.
Also in school there wasn't a very wide variety at the time, this was about 4 years ago. |
I don't eat meat, but I'm not a vegetarian
|
I can honestly say I've never once thought about giving up meat, I just can't see myself ever doing such a thing and I've never really been affected by the animal sob stories tbh
|
I'm a proud vegetarian and have been for nearly 5 years now. I don't miss meat at all and to be honest don't really understand the need for it when there are so many nice substitutes for it. And I'm perfectly healthy without it.

I'm a vegan and my family is completely against it, but they have no control over what I do. I hatepeople who aren't vegans or vegetarians or aren't considering becoming one tbh.

Take it neither you, your family and those people that you befriend possess, used or purchased any of the following: any item made from leather (belts, shoes, handbags, chamois) anything plastic, including shopping bags fireworks white sugar and many other everyday products that contain animal products/byproducts known as slip agents. |
Couldn't imagine being a vegetarian, to be honest. Don't care what the doctors say. I love red meat. :love:
|
I love meat too much to be a vegetarian. Especially red meat.
So for purely selfish reasons...I would never go veggie. |

No, it isn't. If you don't like meat, fair enough. I completely respect your views. A lot of people, however, do like meat and you can't tell them not to eat meat just because you don't like it. She hasn't criticised vegetarians - she's just offered her view; so what's your problem? |

I love meat too much to ever even consider it... oh and I hate vegetables, so I'd be pretty hungry!

A very valid point Lee, and I thought hard about making the choice with that as one reason. You wonder if you will still get enough nutrition etc. As I mentioned before though, I love nearly all fruit and veg. And I eat fish, I could never be vegan.

No, not all my family and friends are vegan or vegetarian, but they are all considering it now. I live in a very rural area and there's not many vegan or vegetarian options, but a lot of my friends want to become vegan when they go off to college and have access to vegan options and don't have to answer to their parents.
I should clarify my original post. I don't hate all non vegans, just the ones who don't consider it or who are passionately against it. A lot of people are just ignorant and haven't been exposed to veganism or vegetarianism before, and have just heard negative myths such as it is unhealthy. I don't hate people for ignorance, but if they learn about it and still don't care about animals, then I begin to really detest them. To those who are criticizing me for attacking people who are against veganism and such, it's not because I'm forcing people to have my views. Actually I am extremely open to people doing whatever they want - I'm pretty much an anarchist. I believe people can do whatever they want as long as they do not intrude upon the rights of others to do as they want and be safe. That pretty much rules out murder, animal abuse, violence, stealing. Those are my views, and I think if other people shared them, it would be a much better world. |

Vegan parents who managed to kill their child due to their vegan belief and ignorance as to how it affected their baby's immune system. |

Pretty much makes a mockery of your other posts about you hating people who aren't vegans/vegetarians and who aren't considering becoming such. |

I think it's very ignorant that you are using that to try to say that veganism is bad, though. Stereotyping all vegans to be crazy and careless. |

Where did I say veganism was bad? If there's any need for the word ignorant to be banded about: I'd respectfully suggest you read what I wrote....carefully, and then come back and show me where I said veganism is bad, or where I stereotyped that all vegans as crazy and careless. Step for a hint: my comment clearly stated Vegan parents of one child that was killed due to THEIR vegan beliefs. |
