i have a problem with respecting vegefuckyoucallem, because I find their beliefs to be so far from mine, and from what I have seen/read/experienced of what goes on in the nature.
I am therefore going to try to rebutle these 14 reasons to become a Vegetarian that I found on Google.
| quote: | | Avoiding meat is one of the best and simplest ways to cut down your fat consumption. Modern farm animals are deliberately fattened up to increase profits. Eating fatty meat increases your chances of having a heart attack or developing cancer. |
Its just a matter of self control. When you're full, PUT THE FORK DOWN, FATTY!! (i also don't like fat people, I think its a part of a minor eating disorder. Either that or I'm the Fat Guy Strangler)
| quote: | | There are millions of cases of food poisoning recorded every year. The vast majority are caused by eating meat. |
Check expiration date before you eat it, dumbass!
| quote: | | Meat contains absolutely nothing - no proteins, vitamins or minerals - that the human body cannot obtain perfectly happily from a vegetarian diet. |
Oh I see what you're trying to do there. Using you're fancy words and grammar to make it look like the meat doesnt contain anything at all. I can see Americans falling for that one, but I'm not falling for that one.
| quote: | | African countries - where millions are starving to death - export grain to the developed world so that animals can be fattened for our dining tables. |
Well, no wonder they're starving when they ship off all their food to another continent.
"Here you go, a bead necklace and a Mickey Mouse-pen in exchange for your crop the 20 next years."
| quote: | | 'Meat' can include the tail, head, feet, rectum and spinal cord of an animal. |
And it tastes gooooood! What papa don't know, doesn't hurt him. Its still food.
| quote: | | A sausage can contain ground up intestines. How can anyone be sure that the intestines are empty when they are ground up? Do you really want to eat the content of a pig's intestines? |
Well first of all, sausages are usually filled pig's intestines, and they are thoroughly cleaned before they are used. Anyways, to answer the question; Why not?
| quote: | | If we eat the plants we grow instead of feeding them to animals, the world's food shortage will disappear virtually overnight. Remember that 100 acres of land will produce enough beef for 20 people but enough wheat to feed 240 people. |
But what are the animals supposed to eat then?
| quote: | | Every day, tens of millions of one-day-old male chicks are killed because they will not be able to lay eggs. There are no rules about how this mass slaughter takes place. Some are crushed or suffocated to death. Many are used for fertiliser or fed to other animals. |
And I thought you treehugging hippies were pro-Recycling.. Confusszzzed
| quote: | | Animals who die for your dinner table die alone, in terror, in sadness and in pain. The killing is merciless and inhumane. |
Yes. Just like God/Nature/Whatever intended it. Do lions kill hyenas just because they see them as a threat? No. Male lions have a hatred so deep that they will risk their own lifes just to kill a lonely hyena. Do they do it swift and humane/lionesque? No. They kill them by letting them bleed to death (after a while breaking their neck). Weird thing is that they bite the neck usually until the body goes cold, and the hyena has been dead for a long time. It's a brutal world. Deal with it.
| quote: | | It's must easier to become (and stay) slim if you are a vegetarian. |
Of course it is easier to lose weight I'f you arent getting the nutrition the body needs. And again i refer to my patented PUT-THE-FORK-DOWN-plan, soon available on cassettes on all gas stations everywhere.
| quote: | | If you eat meat, you are consuming hormones that were fed to the animals. No one knows what effect those hormones will have on your health. In some parts of the world, as many as one on four hamburgers contain growth hormones that were originally given to cattle. |
So I save money on steroids then. Oh nooeees!!!
| quote: | | he following diseases are commoner among meat eaters: anaemia, appendicitis, arthritis, breast cancer, cancer of the colon, cancer of the prostrate, constipation, diabetes, gallstones, gout, high blood pressure, indigestion, obesity, piles, strokes and varicose veins. Lifelong vegetarians visit hospital 22% less often than meat eaters and for shorter stays. Vegetarians have a 20% lower blood cholestrol level than meat eaters and this reduces heart attack and cancer risks considerably. |
Well, I'd rather eat what I want and live 10 less years than what I wouldve, If I'd eaten twigs and grass.
| quote: | | Some farmers use tranquillisers to keep animals calm. Other routinely use antibiotics to starve off infection. When you eat meat you are eating those drugs. In America, 55% of all antibiotics are fed to animals and the percentage of staphylococci infections resistant to penicillin went up from 14% in 1960 to 91% in 1988. |
Anybody can take two facts, about seperate issues, and smack them next to eachother making it look like they are somehow related. "During WWII many Jews were sent to concentration camps, still many jews seem to have trouble concentrating if the air humidity is not high enough."
| quote: | | In a lifetime, the average meat eater will consumer 36 pigs, 36 sheep and 750 chickens and turkeys. Do you want that much carnage on your conscience? |
The more, the merrier.
| quote: | | Animals which are a year old are often far more rational - and capable of logical thought - than six week old babies. Pigs and sheep are far more intelligent than small children. Eating dead animals is barbaric |
Are you fucking kidding me? That is the dumbest thing I have ever read.
If you don't eat meat simply because you don't like it, thats something I can respect though. I see no reason for eating something you don't like.
Oh and yeah, I'm also for treating animals better, and I enjoy whatyoucallem, err.. you know hamburgers that are allowed to walk around freely and stuff, it only sucks that its way more expensive. At least here in Norway.
