    There's a difference between eating a plant and the inhumane treatment of animals before they are brought to your plate.
    Just know where your meat comes from. No reason to look at a few bad farms and say that alone is reason to swear off all meat.

    Also I don't get why people say "Inhumane treatment of animals", their not humans so it's inhumane whatever we do to them.

    As far as the farm things go, I don't see why people make a big deal. The ones where they stuff a hundred in a cage meant for 2, ya that's not good. Otherwise they aren't guests at a Marriot, their being raised to be killed and eaten. There's no reason to treat them like it's a day spa when at the end their just gonna chop their heads off.

    I'm not a vegetarian. I haven't personally known any people who are vegetarians either.

    Eeh...I don't care much for meat, only because I don't like the taste too much. It's awful whenever we have steak. My parents force me to eat some even though they know that I won't eat more than a few bites. Then they have a hissy fit when I don't finish it.

    Well now you know how I felt towards vegetables when I was a kid.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    If it were made readily available, I would buy 100% free range/grass fed products. I try very hard to get organic and free range meat products whenever I can. And I try not to support fast food chains/restaurants where I know they're not using meat products that were treated humanely before they were prepared for human consumption.

    Cause even though I love eating meat and I would never give it up, I dislike the conditions at a lot of meat producing factories. I fully support a more humane and ethical treatment of animals. Just cause we have to kill 'em to eat 'em doesn't mean that it has to be done cruelly.

    Meat is so so lovely. I couldn't do without it, I just couldn't.

    If you're happy knowing you're the reason why the dinosaurs died.

    Vegetarianism is something of a false name; it implies that you're eating only vegetables, rather than abstinence from meat. Other than the stupid and misleading name, I'm fine with it in theory, and as long as you feel you're getting what you need, where's the problem with that? More steak for me. No, I would never. I know what crap goes on my hormone induced foods. I'll still eat it because it tastes better than that green stuff.

    What's with this humane talk? Their not human ergo they can't be treated humanely. It can be ethical or moral, but not humane when a human isn't involved.

    Am I the only one bothered by the misuse of the word Humane in this context? >.>

    im with denis leary

    i feel like wimp going into a vegetarian place, "what would you like, broccoli?" broccoli's a side dish people always has always will be. i say " what do you think i want, i want some raw red right here right now!! better yet bring me a live cow over to the table, i carve off what i want and ride the rest home!!!" and you want to know why, cuz meat tastes like murder and murder tastes pretty smurf damn good!!!
    there might come the day where everything is seaquest/firefly style (all made of protein and genetically engineered) that will be a sad day where we sever our ties to 50000 years of history
    I like chocolate!! No matter what flavor you get, you can always taste the broken dreams!

    ~Dead people should stay dead, otherwise whats the point of killing them???

    lets just look at the facts money wise:

    junkfood < normal food < healthy food that tastes bad < organic food that tastes bad < healthy food that tastes good

    being vegetarian is rich people talk.. A poor research sholar like me can only afford whats cheapest in america.. the dollar menu at mcdonalds xD XD

    Everything tastes bad without a few slabs of meat tossed onto it.

    Salad? Add some chicken!
    Escargot? Place some steak on it!
    Bacon? Add more bacon!
