What do you eat?!

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

I eat all types of meat apart from pork

[XxSephirothxX]

Omnivore, definitely. I don't eat nearly as many vegetables as I should, though I eat plenty of fruit.

I read once that different types of people, based on where they're from, genetics, etc., need to have a diet consisting of particular types of food. In other words, it's possible some vegetarians actually should eat meat. I don't know exactly how accurate this is, but I think being a vegetarian is kind of silly because you're not going to get the same balanced diet without any form of meat. If you're just totally against killing animals, though, I guess there's not much to do about it.

(SPOILER)Actually, just omnivore, kthxbai

I'm a vegetarian, because I know killing animals for food is evil.

There is no nutrient in meat that can't be obtained from a vegetarian diet. Vegetarians are healthier than meat eaters, an that's not an opinion, it's a fact. An physiologically we're not even suited to eating meat, so the genetics theory is absurd.

Animals are usually killed as quickly and effectively as possible though. I don't think it takes more than a second or two.
My parents are farmers, and I know that as long as the weather allows for it, live stock are usually free to walk around outside (well, as free as one can be inside a fence, but it's still a pretty large area), and at my parents farm, they can walk around indoors too (but I know not all farms are like that).

Most farms an slaughter houses are in no way similar to that. An if you're under the impression that most animals are killed quickly an painlessly, you're very much mistaken.

Maybe in your country.

And if there is no nutrient that cannot be obtained though a veggie-only diet, then why do I keep hearing that vegetarians tend to take pills for extra nutrients?

[Kirobaito]

I am an omnivore. I don't eat fruit, though. It never fits in with whatever I'm eating. Plus the only fruit I even like the taste of it is apples. I eat plenty of meat, and plenty of vegetables, though.

[theundeadhero]

I ask my self, "What do I eat", every single day. Sometimes I realize that I forgot to eat. I don't eat much, or often.

Only eating vegetables is silly.

Humans have Canines, which mean they are meant to eat meat.

I don't know about northerners (yankees...), but the farmhouses we have down here generally just chop the animals head off with a chainsaw or axe. Painless, usually.

[Breine]

I love my meat too much to become a vegetarian, although I have actually thought about it several times - therefore I have absolutely nothing against people being vegetarians, and I don't think it's weird, silly or anything like that. The girl I'm seeing right now is actually also a vegetarian.. so, yeah...

[Anaisa]

Maybe in your country.

No slaughter house in any country will be killing every animal that passes through it's doors quickly an painlessly. Even when slaughter houses are inspected, they fail to kill the great majority quickly an painlessly, so imagine what sort of job they do when they're not being watched.

And if there is no nutrient that cannot be obtained though a veggie-only diet, then why do I keep hearing that vegetarians tend to take pills for extra nutrients?

Are you sure you keep hearing that vegetarians take pills for extra nutrients, or do you keep hearing ignorant meat chompers saying they need to take supplements for extra nutrients? An if it's the former, where have you heard that?

Omnivore. Humans have both canines and molars, meaning they were made to eat both plants and meat.

Wrong.


Teeth (Canines)
Carnivore: Long, sharp and curved.
Herbivore: Dull and short or long (for defense), or none.
Omnivore: Long, sharp and curved.
Human: Short and blunted.

Teeth (Molars)
Carnivore: Sharp, jagged and blade shaped.
Herbivore: Flattened with cusps vs complex surface.
Omnivore: Sharp blades and/or flattened.
Human: Flattened with nodular cusps.

I'm an Omnivore. I like my meat!

I don't eat beef, though, because I don't like it.

Good thing you know that for a fact. Then I won't even have to ask for a source for it!


And I was hoping maybe you could tell me, seeing as I was asking the question :p. I don't find it obvious that we can get all necessary nutrients from plants, so I'm hoping you can show me that we do. And not from a biased source.

[Rinion]

Well, all I can say is if I shoved a nice piece of celary in front of my Chocolate Lab, he'd probably run from it. And my canines are about as long and sharp as his, albeit i'm much, much bigger.

The purpose of the canine, in any event, is what I was attempting to address. They are meant to cut meat. If we didn't need them, we wouldn't have them.

[Dreddz]

Im an omnivore. I know killing animals for our pleasure is wrong, but fortunate for me, I dont care.

[Gullick]
