That's it, I've decided to become a vegetarian.

[MecaKane]

No, he meant it in the rudest and in this case the mostly accurate way that vegans are attention-seekers.
Some more than others, for example people who push all their radical disgusting biggoted views, along with saying we're all savages for eating meat and cheese, on people for shock value.

[Spiffing Cheese]

I've been a vegetarian for a year. It's really not that hard.

[The Jamie Star Scenario]

Well ive yet to come across any research as to how digesting vegetables / plants is harmful to us if you have then you should share it. And you haven't included any reasons as to why meat is "easier and good for you".

How about when that lovely plant that you are digesting is one that produces cyanide or some other lovely toxin.

People think being a vegatarian is good because you aren't hurting the plants. I say you are! Killing plants is just like killing animals! It is terrible and causes much pain. Vegatarians are just lazy and eat plants because they are sessile.

Everything is alive, you kill it to eat and that is that, the way of the world. Just we tend to kill too much of one thing resulting in decline in ecosystems, like the poor fish that many vegatarians still eat. You are so vialant! However, beef and chicken are not to products that the world is short of, neither is human meat. Commence the slaughtering!

Do you have a source for this proof? Something you could post from credible research? Otherwise, it's simply what you say against what everybody else says, and we're obviously pretty sure of what we say.

Yeah Im sure if you take a look on the net you will find research but as thats not where I get my info from thats why I haven't posted any links. And ive fully explained the reasons behind what I say unlike the meat chompers. And most of what ive said you wouldn't even need to look up on the net or anywhere else it should be common knowledge to people what their food contains and what it doesn't.

A lot of things are common knowledge. I consider it common knowledge that plant matter is more difficult to digest. Which is why many herbivorous animals, birds especially, have a functioning gizzard. Humans don't have gizzards. We also only have one stomach. Have you ever seen horse manure? You notice all the pieces of grass and hay sticking out of it? That's because it hasn't all been digested. Now, what credible sources do you have that meat is so much worse for us than plant matter?

Of course it is. Plants are harder to digest because they have cell walls instead of just a cell membrane like protein has, so it's harder to digest. Most of the plants we eat aren't digested fully at all.

I just offered you a source you could try using to get the information the internet. And I explained as of why I haven't posted links myself. Another reason is that im sure that whatever I found would go into great detail and be very lengthy so I doubt any of the meat eaters here would bother to read it anyway. And as for comparing us to animals and the plant matter they eat you cannot class the vegetables we eat in with the diffrent plant matter animals eat as what they eat can so greatly vary to what we eat and there is such a wide variety of animals that don't consume meat and they can have a hugely diffrent diet from one to the other. And these animals can vary so greatly. But if thats what you want to do then why don't you compare your jaws to that of a carnivorous animal or your stomach acids or your intestines? And then consider how suited you are to eat meat.

[Reine]

I find vegetarians laughable. No matter what you eat, its dead lifeforms. All animals kill other things and eat them. Its just natural. Trying to escape from that is foolish.

Plants have no central nervous system so do not suffer pain like animals do. And if somebody eats fish they are not a vegetarian.

[Winter Nights]

Meat is good. That's all I know, and all I care about.

Same here. Alot of people try to go vegetarian.. Few can make such a transition. I couldn't do it.

We're omnivorous. That means we eat both meat and plant. Our jaws, teeth, etc. aren't typical of just carnivorous or just herbivorous animals, as we are both.

Plants have no central nervous system so do not suffer pain like animals do. And if somebody eats fish they are not a vegetarian.

That's why we kill them before we cook and eat them. Nobody says "Oh hey look, a cow, let's torture it before we eat it!"

'Hi Mr. Cripple, you do not feel any pain so therefore it is fine to kill you and eat you, I hope that is alright,' said Chef.
'Of course it is,' replied Mr. Cripple.

That is just not right, I do not see the need for pain as a definition of what I can eat and what I cannot. Plants are still alive, they might well have a conscious and a soul, how are we meant to tell? Plants still get killed for food and if they don't you are eating their strach stores (that is like stealing) or eating their babies Just like animals.

Pain has nothing to do with it, animals just have a superiority complex.

[Sasquatch]

I would post a joke about eating vegetables, but I don't think it would be appreciated here.

Yes we can be omnivorous but we can also be herbivorous if we so choose and are body is no less suited to being a herbivore.

Nobody says "Oh hey look, a cow, let's torture it before we eat it!" That's why we kill them before we cook and eat them.

Actually not all animals are killed before they're cooked and eaten. Lobsters are cooked whilst still alive. And I did not say that animals were tortured before they were killed. I said they felt pain. And how exactly are you suggesting that these animals are killed pain free? Have you not seen or heard of any of the methods that are used to kill these animals? Electrocution for example? You think thats pain free do you? And there are people who look at an animal and think "lets torture it". Don't believe me? have you ever heard of an organization called the rspca?
