If it's about how difficult it is to eat something or not, I won't argue. That's just preference. Just as I won't argue with someone who just doesn't like meat. It's just that milk cows don't necessarily live much of a better life than meat cows. They don't kill them? What do you think they do to a milk cow when it gets past its milk-giving prime? They sure as hell don't send them to a cow retirement home, if you catch my drift.bad rider said:
Just face it: If you use animal products, whether it's meat or leather or milk or whatever., that means some animal got 'abused' for it. Your eggs-ample (I AM SO WITTY) is probably the only real exception to it, since you personally guarantee that the chickens have enough food and water and room and whatever it is chickens need. It's still no proper alternative to living in the wild, but I highly doubt that most domesticated animals would even be able to survive in the wild, so that point is moot anyway.
As I said, if you simply don't like meat I've got no argument with that, but if you don't eat meat because you love cows or whatever, but you still drink milk and wear leather shoes, you're fooling no one but yourself.
That's why I objected to the post I quoted. Furburt mentioned eating fish but not meat, which interspark disapproved of because 'fish are no less animals than pigs and cows'. While I agree that fish are animals, it's pure ignorance to claim you're doing something 'for the animals', and yet not give a shit about those same animals when it comes to slightly different products. My point is, if you care enough about animals to become vegetarian, but not to become a vegan, you're full of crap. Eat meat or don't eat meat, whatever. But don't claim you're doing it out of love for animals if you're only willing to go halfway. It's like saying you don't buy Reeboks because they use child labor to make their shoes, and then show up in a brand new pair of Nikes.
Well, I am.
That... that's about it, really. Never really ate meat. Besides, to me, meat just looks kind of... ick...

Its unhealthy. Iron levels and other good stuff you get from meat would decrease. I just try to eat a balanced diet.

I think I just scared away the vegetarians.
My guesstimate is more like %5 than %1. Something like a third of Indians are vegetarians due to religion and countries like UK and USA are around %3.
My God, I think I just felt my arteries hardening in fear just from looking at it.temporalcrux said:
