Title: Vegetarians, they're weirdos, right?
Post by: 420seriouscat69 on November 27, 2013, 11:58:48 AM
I have a coworker who preaches about how wrong it is to eat animals and to harm them. I grew up eating steak 5 days a week, since my dad was a cattle buyer (You rough ridin' hayseed,fanning!). We could not be farther apart in point of views. The thing is, she thinks we're weird cause we are looking forward to eating Turkey. "Poor birds! What did they do to you?" I mean, humans are more important, right? Anyways, she's eating salmon for Thanksgiving. I mean, that's still an animal, right?

Explain to her that none of those chickens, turkeys, cows, and pigs would have ever been alive if we didn't think they were delicious. :lick:

someday when i have a home and money i'm going to try to eat much, much less meat. idgaf about the animals but meat is a very inefficient food source and it's socially irresponsible to consume it while there are starving people in the world. obviously i could start on this plan tomorrow, but i like meat and it takes some effort to avoid so for now i just bitch about it.

The social stigma is what would get to me. It would be hard to go out at restaurants, eat at parties etc. Pretty much why I could never cut out alcohol as well.

Pretty cruel to feast on innocent vegetables...

"And the angel of the lord came unto me, snatching me up from my place of slumber. And took me on high, and higher still until we moved to the spaces betwixt the air itself. And he brought me into a vast farmlands of our own midwest. And as we descended, cries of impending doom rose from the soil. One thousand, nay a million voices full of fear. And terror possesed me then. And I begged, "Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots! You see, Reverend Maynard, tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust." And I sprang from my slumber drenched in sweat like the tears of one million terrified brothers and roared, "Hear me now, I have seen the light! They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers!" Can I get an amen? Can I get a hallelujah? Thank you Jesus."

Of course friend. Without hesitation. Just like the indians who shared Maize with their visitors from afar that Thanksgiving so many years ago.

Every single meal after breakfast always contains dead animal flesh. Most of my breakfast meals do as well unless if I eat cereal. If it were life and death, I could do cheese, eggs, milk probably, but if it's death or vegan, I'll take a steak to go please.

Yeah that looks pretty good.  I haven't got it in Champaign yet, but it's available.

Noticed it's not (yet?) available in MHK though.  Probably a smart move by Chipotle.

Every conversation I've had with Beth is in the top 5 percentile of conversations I've ever had.  She's very interesting to talk to.  She has unique views (many with which I disagree) and defends them with conviction.

This is incorrect, but fun to scare the chilluns with. That noise you hear is actually pressurized steam that builds between the flesh and the hard carapace of the lobster. As the pressure releases, it makes a high pitched noise, not unlike a teapot when the water is ready.

I myself follow a mostly vegan diet, but not for any dumb reasons such as morality. A plant based diet is nutritionally sound, though it is difficult to replicate the protein-dense nature of animal flesh. It was certainly necessary in past ages, and indeed is partially responsible for our superior brains. I eat meat from time to time, but these days I'm mostly team #MicroNutrients.
