Ok, I’m going to break it down for you and anyone else.
Yes you are right I have my opinion and your friend has hers. That’s is far as it should go. You don’t like my insensitivity that’s ok its called life. Your not going to always like how someone else feels just as someone is not going to like how you feel. Stick to your guns about it, don’t feel you need to throw up an asterisk or a disclaimer and be politically correct or non confrontational about a subject. Say what you want and be proud about how you feel. But for some nut jobs that feel eating meat should be illegal shows the mentality and extreme thinking. NOW if your friend feels that way cool who am I to say or tell or do anything about her to feel that way, that’s her opinion. I do however have a problem when that opinion becomes a focal point and then manifest itself to becomes an agenda in a group of once everyday citizen to a group of corn nuts and that feel they have a right to asses my way of living and try and change my way of life. If anyone doesn’t want to eat meat by all means don’t eat meat, but don’t get on a soap box and ramble on about it.
Hhmm uum yeah they do. Plants might not have pain receptors like animals but pick a leaf off a plant and it reacts. Is it the same? I don’t know, do I really care? not really. Veggies are a side dish always have been always will be.
Thank god for the people who chose to make money off the blood of that prime rib, chicken fillet or the pork tenderloin. They make my life easier not having to gut and clean the animal before I cook it.
Mr. Perdue and the slaughter houses I salute you, good sirs.
OK. So your not a hypocrite and pass judgment on others.
Yeah, think so? I have had to help plenty of these nuts who feel they want to bare the cross of saving an animal and not eat them. Then crawl into the emergency room and DR offices because they thought that eating sprouts and grass was good for them and that’s all they needed. Skin completion is pale, scaly, clammy, oily, bags under the eyes, loss of muscle definition. Someone wants to bare that cross knock your self out, have at it. Along with all the sprouts, grass, tofu and other vegetation they need to chock down they have to pump them selves full of pil ls to gain the necessary vitamins and minerals. When I can eat a piece of meat/poultry and a side dish of vegetables for a meal and not really have to pump pil ls down my throat to fulfill the lack of vitamins and minerals and proteins that I receive from an animal guess what I’ll go with the animal.
First off. When it comes to research, who does the research? Who paid for the research? What is the researcher getting out of it. For every piece of research that shows all the “good” of not eating meat there is a piece that goes against vegetarian.
Its quite simple. Why does anyone feel that evolution is wrong? We have canine teeth to tear apart or food and flat molars to chew our food with then I guess some where down the line flesh became a form of food.
It is not called life. You can express your opinions without being caustic and rude to someone else. You saying that you like to whisper moo as you bite into your bloody burger to someone who doesn't like to slaughter animals is rude. You can say the same thing by saying that you like to eat burgers and support the slaughter of animals for food. As for vegetarians, the ones who have malnutrition probably are not taking care of themselves properly. I guarantee there are a whole lot more morbidly obese people who are on the verge of having a heart attack from shoveling gobs of fast food and crap into their mouths for years. Eat to live, don't live to eat.
You have not read what I have written in the pasts posts. I definitely did not pass judgement on anyone on either side, vegetarian or meat eating. I said that the amount of animals that they slaughter is getting out of hand. It is bad for the environment and really expensive. I am not a vegetarian but I have cut down some on my intake of meats just simply because I feel better for it. I wouldn't reduce it all together but that is my personal choice. I respect yours but not in the way you are expressing it here. All I am asking is that you understand and rephrase what you are saying a bit.
