I honestly don't get how that is the dumbest post in the thread. He's complaining about vegetarians, yet it doesn't affect his daily life at all. I think it's a very valid point.
Whatever. |

I don't care who you're saying it to, it's a ing idiotic thing to say and anyone who had half a clue would be embarrassed to utter such nonsense the moment it left their mouth. |

They also poop. A lot.
Which is maybe surprisingly a much bigger problem than it sounds.
Tip of the iceberg, etc. |

I don't care either way. But I will say this. One of my managers is a vegetarian and she gets sick more than anyone else I know.
Just throwing that out there.
edit // You also ate McD's on Thursday :o |

I could write an essay right now about the havoc the beef industry reaps on the environment, about how cruel and disgusting factory farming is, and how industrial agriculture is ruining the majority of the farmland we have - but at the end of the day I'm no angel either.
There are times when I eat cheap food because it's convenient, and there is little to no chance I ever give up eating meat completely - but it doesn't bother me that people look at that as hypocrisy because at the very least I'm making some effort, which is far more than most people can say.
The vegan/vegetarian arguments more often than not bother the piss out of me because they more often than not seem to be about as deep as a shot glass - but there are far more good arguments in favor of us changing the way we get the food we eat that could have unbelievable implications for the future of our planet. Unfortunately, it still requires people to change (though ever so slightly) the way in which they feed themselves - and most people are either too ignorant or in denial to care. |

If everyone just started to subsist on frosted flakes and Tang, I think the world would be a better place. |

If I can do it, anyone can.
Also - Frosted Flake =/= Vegan. I don't even think they're necessarily vegetarian.
Pretty sure Tang is though. :wtf: |

fixed for obvious reasons.
I dont think i could ever give up meat, i feel its part of a healthy balanced diet. I will admit though, someitmes i eat more meat just to spite people.
My GF did the veg pledge with PETA for a month after watching that Kentucky Fried Cruelty movie with pam anderson. I downloaded said movie, ordered a bucket of KFC, and watched the movie with my roomates while eating said bucket.
Im not gonna lie, it was delicious.
While i agree factory farming has its negatives, and quality of produce is a major one, I think that it is unavoidable until consumers are prepared to pay alot more for their produce in order to give incentive to farmers to raise their livestock using more conventional methods. At current market price, factory farming is a nessecity to remain profitable and make a living for their families. |
