i've stopped eating meat and i didn't even realise it until now

anyone else part of the crew

yup

also unintentionally

Nah, meat rules.

i love animals. they taste great

I went vegan for a week and then vegetarian the following week two years ago. The vegan week was rough.

I wish I could go vegetarian but I love meat too much. :P I recently heard of "flexitarian" for lazy people like me who like animals and like meat so we just try not to have too much. Yes, I'm a hypocrite! ;)

Been a vegetarian for over ten years. I would love to go vegan but I'm just too lazy.

so u think ur all that bc....

it's been a few months now

anyone else part of the crew

not me.

how do you replace meat in your diet? and did you think about that part, even though you didn't really realize you stopped eating meat?

Beans are a good source of protein and iron.

for me it was a cost issue. a chunk of meat for about two meals' worth costs about half to 3/4 as much as my entire week's worth of vegetables. i am poor. i still eat it if it's served elsewhere, but when i'm cooking for myself at home, which is 99% of the time, i don't bother. i compensate with lentils, eggs, nuts, yogurt, and lots of fruit.

I gave up pork like 6 months ago.

Same. + I figure if I really want a steak or something I want to go somewhere where they do it right.

if you can't grill a steak right then you might need to check yourself into an assisted living facility

i love pork chops

I almost never cook meat at home (bacon is the only exception). So whenever I cook at home, I'm eating veggies, rice, pasta, lentils (I make a mean lentil soup). I was vegetarian for years, so I don't mind. Bacon is all I ever really missed.

But if I go out to eat (which I'm doing less of to save money), I'll order meat.

I did the vegan thing for a week with a friend of mine, and by the end of it, I was willing to kill someone for a hunk of cheese.

wish i had the willpower to be a vegetarian. one day.

:rolleyes: i really need to quit netphoria. i wish i had the willpower

Please make a youtube vid of yourself grilling a steak and post it. We all need to see your technique.

i'm grillin' beef tenderloin and chicken breasts ce soir! you're all welcome to come, but you folks will have to bring your own vegetarian alternatives.. :p

<3 you guys

i don't eat meat because i hate animals

I am respectful of others dietary choices

for every animal you guys dont eat im going to eat 3

chicken rules

I'm practically a carnivore, although I do eat a good amount of grains too. My ex on the other hand, would go through 3 month bouts of unintentional vegetarianism whenever she thought about meat too much and got grossed out by it every couple of years.

how do you replace meat in your diet?

It's easier than you'd think. Essentially, you just use a lot of different soy products. Soy, tofu, beans etc.

I've been a vegetarian for about six years now. Once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to fix up quick nutritious meals in a heartbeat. Its not for everyone, but it can be a pretty cheap and healthy diet. Mind you, I do eat eggs, drink milk, and lately I've taken fish cod oil just to make sure I don't miss out on anything. Those omega oils can be a bitch to come by.

"flexitarian"

if i ever hear someone use this in person, i will kick fuck out of them

Hey man, chillax

hey guys, what has between 2 and 8 legs and no rights?

ANIMALS!

Animals definitely have some level of consciousness and experience pain, and I'd never deny they have a right to be free from pain. But overall I can't say killing an animal painlessly is immoral, I believe right to life is entirely rooted in the concept of ownership of one's body.

So basically I only eat free range meat and byproducts, been doing that for the past 12 years. But fish for example, I don't think there are too many ways to kill them painlessly, so I haven't had a bite of any kind of seafood for the past decade.

We must kill to survive.

I don't think that animals have the same sort of right to life that we can say human beings do, but as a good follower of utilitarianism, I think that the morality of an action is essentially dictated by the ability of the receiving party to suffer. It actually doesn't make sense to me not to eat seafood but to eat other kinds of meat... a lobster or a fish has significantly less ability to suffer than a cow or a pig does. It is generally accepted that a pig has the emotional capacity of a 2 or 3 year old child, which makes it perhaps smarter than a dog, and for me, too high a life form to consume.

Essentially, you just use a lot of different soy products.

Soy has a false-estrogen in it which is linked to Alzheimer's. Horrible for you if you're female.

If you're a dude will it give you fat tits?

yes

Awesome. Awesome to the max.

Eat good, exercise, and die anyway.

Hey remember the safety dance?

DUN DUN DUN

That dance wasn't as safe as they say it was.

you're thinking about this all wrong

that makes it okay to eat toddlers

anyway no language means no sentience means no rights, so fuck 'em. If you think their actions prove they experience emotions and therefore sentience you're just revealing how ignorant you are to the extent of your own biological automation

i still eat fish once in a while, maybe once a month. otherwise no meat for 3 or 4 years, I can't really remember. slowly cutting back on milk products but it's hard to eat at restaurants so I usually end up getting things with cheese when I'm eating out. when I'm home it's only organic milk products and local sourced cage free eggs now which has been my goal for a while.

the cage free eggs keep having embryos in them though which is really gross so we are probably going to eat less eggs.

lol @ quick google of this


Earlier this year when considering whether it would permit health claims for soy, the FDA rejected the abstract of the Hawaii study for a few reasons, including the fact that if the study results were valid, there would be more dementia and Alzheimers in Japan than in Hawaii (because more soy is consumed in Japan) -- but the reverse is true, suggesting it wasn't an effect from soy consumption the researchers may have been seeing.

i could probably do vegetarian if i ate nothing but mexican food all day

for me it was a cost issue. a chunk of meat for about two meals' worth costs about half to 3/4 as much as my entire week's worth of vegetables. i am poor. i still eat it if it's served elsewhere, but when i'm cooking for myself at home, which is 99% of the time, i don't bother. i compensate with lentils, eggs, nuts, yogurt, and lots of fruit.
exsctly the same here except that it has more to do with me getting fat

or so hnibos says

The innanet won't let me rep these, but I tried.

Also a meal is not a meal unless it has a substantial quantity of meat, in this shark's opinion.

or so hnibos says

its a good fat, youre a healthy young man.


im eating once a day.. maybe

Also a meal is not a meal unless it has a substantial quantity of meat, in this shark's opinion.

There are two kinds of people: sheep and sharks. Anyone who is a sheep is fired. Who is a sheep?
Errr, excuse me... which is the one people like to hug?
Gutsy question. You're a shark. Sharks are winners, and they don't look back because they have no necks. Necks are for sheep.

I've always considered it.

lol @ quick google of this

lol @ the FDA

economically and ecologically it makes sense to be vegetarian, but meat tastes good

Did it for 2 years, gave it up in Jan. Just didn't care as much to continue. Still feel the same way then as i do now tho. Apathy I guess
