Why are there so many lurkers here?!
Why are there so many lurkers here?
who pop out of the woodwork every now and then to say "God told us to eat meat" or "meat is necessary for health". I respect your right to have an opinion but any time you answer a question with your opinions please back them up with fact. Sorry the Bible does not count as fact and I'm yet to see evidence that meat is required for health.

It's not my position to choose for anyone else, but the poster above me is dumb and naive that I just can't deal with it.
I chose to be a vegetarian, and can't do so for others, but at least create a fair environtment to those animals that must be eaten.
In different parts of the world you find different nutrients that your body needs from different sources.
One of the reasons animals used to be a good source of many nutrients is because of what they ate.
for example; fish are high in omega 3 because of the algea they absorbed in the ocean.
Now that so much fish you buy is bred in tanks and fed artificial food it becomes of extremely low nutritional value to a human.
It's the same for cows and so on.
Btw, a pig eats waste products and does not produce it's own nutrient in it's body that you would need to eat a pig for to absorb. When you eat a pig you eat what it ate plus pure fat.
I think a while back when people weren't as fortunate as todays people to fly in flax seeds and chia seeds and what not to meet their needs and lived purely of their surroundings that in some areas in order to get all your nutrition it wa easier to eat an animal.
And again, if you must, at least make sure it had a wonderful long healthy life and a painless death.
Now, please don't even start mentioning the deer revolution or how the chickens would take over the world if we didn't eat them.
Humans fucked nature up, without people as naive as you there would not be such an imbalance, and certainly not thousands of chickens awaiting a belly like yours, sitting, born to die, sickly existing just to be fed enough cheap food to create cheap fat for the cheap dumbass from texas, so he can thrive in his lowly naive lifestyle.
Now, I am not insulting people who choose not to be vegetarians, that's your thing.
But I do not agree with the animal production, and I do not agree with Mr Texas here.
I think God said fish and bread was good, but then God would say that being a fisherman
agareed, unless i see god creat a pig and kills it and eats it, i don't think god is pro killing, i mean come on, it's god dude
it's like the er head president of our planet
What the hell else would a pig be here for or a deer or a cow.
And if animals weren't here to eat, then why would they taste so freakin good.
go eat a carrot !
In the beginning, God didn't want us to have knowledge or be intelligent... I think many people are striving for that initial ideal.
:)
I totally agree. I think those that pop in here with their silly questions and ideas are either feeling guilty for eating meat, or they want to be a vegetarian but lack the gonads to do it. Its obvious they are jeolous of the resolve and will power that we vegetarians have. They make themselves feel better with all of their silly justifications. I especially love the one about our incisor teeth. I assume many of them have dogs-it shouldnt be too hard to figure out our teeth are NOT like a canines, who have lots of long, thin, incisor teeth. All but two of mine are flat, like other vegetarian animals, how bout you?
I completely agree with you! Why do meat eaters feel the need to hassle us in our own section of Y!A? We aren't hurting anyone! Why do they want us to eat meat? Why do they care what we eat?
YES a lot of wood work popping going on ... LOL ..... When people have to go to such stretches of the imagination to prove their point .. it shows their lack of knowledge ..as to religion and God ..if they start ... I simply point out what God wanted when he created man in paradise .. No animal flesh was eaten until sin ... animals were our companions .... so if God considered that paradise ... what should we strive for ?
