Answers:
I don't hate Vegans or Vegetarians...just the people who try to change my way of eating with propaganda and lies, like how I should eat more soy.
1) I'm allergic to soy
2) The 'scientists' who found out about all the supposed health benefits of soy, were making a killing from soy producers. Some scientists will skew the facts and lie outright when they get paid to claim the health benefits of different foods.
Some may say that the human digestive tract is not the same length as carnivores digestive tracts and say this is why they 'know' that humans are not meant to eat meat. Well, our digestive tracts are just as dissimilar to herbivores' digestive tracts, but you don't hear about how humans were never meant to eat vegetable matter.
If someone does not want to eat meat, fine. It's their body. But, I want they same courtesy. If I want to eat meat, then fine, it's my body.
'i dont really care if any eats meat or doesnt i dont judge them,that their views,so y the hell do they try to change people lyk me?'
Exactly. You are the kind of Vegan/Vegetarian I like. Just remember, though, if a person eats meat, it doesn't mean the look for the most chemical and hormone laden meat they can find. My favorite meat? Venison. None of the deer meat I eat comes from stores. It's all about hunting season in the woods. Also, I know I wouldn't want to die by bleeding out for hours on end. So, I don't imagine the deer does either-and kill the deer in a way according to that. As swift and painless as possible. The inhumane killing in factories should make you stop eating meat is entirely lost on me, since I prefer meat from wild animals, not factory-killed animals.
But, that's my choice; I don't expect to change ANYONE'S diet. I wouldn't even want to. Live and let live.
Why don't you make a little more of a generalization? I am a meat eater, and I don't think all vegetarians and vegans are bad.
I respect your choices, as you should respect mine. Did you start eating this way, just so you could preach to other people, or did you start it for personal reasons?
It is people like you who make this outrageous comments about "everyone" that gives the rest of the sane ones a bad rap.
And if you want to be left alone, maybe you should stop spouting off on yahoo answers.
It doesn't matter what you choose to eat or not eat, as long as you get all of your proper nutrients in some way.
I'm a veg but I don't think I'm healthier because I eat lots of junk food.
You don;'t need meat,and the calcium in milk is unusable.Calcium has to have an equal ration of magnesium,cow's milk has a ration of 3 to 1.Dark green leafy vegetables are a much better source of calcium than milk.
I do not care about what you vegetarians and vegans do vith your life and health.
What I do fear is that you may oneday compel meat eaters
like me to follow your ideas that I do not share.
Since your minorities are very hard towards those that do not think like you, this danger is a very real one.
Yeah, I understand what you're saying, I'm a veggie too and my mum is always on at me about getting enough protein and iron etc. I make sure I eat a balanced diet and I'm perfectly healthy thank you very much! We don't really need to eat meat...fair enough, some people choose to as they enjoy it, but for my own personal reasons I prefer not to!
Maybe they just don't understand what you're talking about because you have difficulty expressing yourself in coherent sentences....
I see nothing wrong with being a vegetarian, and I don't doubt that you can get every vitamin that you need from plants. Protein is very easily found in peanut butter and cashews. As for calcium, I've never understood why vegetarians don't drink milk. It's not a part of an animal, is it? Besides, cows are vegetarians and they drink milk, don't they? Anyway, if it was unsafe to be a vegetarian, most of them would be dead, yes?
As for why many people look down on vegetarians and vegans, I'm not sure. But if I had to take a guess at it, I would use this quote from you as an example:
meat and milk isnt even good 4 u,stufed with all those unhealthy hormones and crap.
You say that you don't care if other people eat meat and that you won't judge them, but then you go on to say that meat is bad for you and that I shouldn't drink milk. I think that is the point where people become defensive. Vegetarianism is a good thing. If you want to give up steak and eat tofu, go right ahead, I won't hold you back. But once you try to make me give up the things that I enjoy, that's where it becomes annoying.
You also said that my digestive system isn't meant to digest meat. I find this hard to believe. Man has eaten meat since the dawn of time (although, if you want to get all technical about it, it started at around 7:30AM). I eat meat all the time and I feel great. I don't feel anything that tells me that I am unhealthy. If you could give a source that can prove that what you say is true, I would like to see it. Maybe you could answer this to one of my questions and give me the link there. I'll check my questions every once in a while to see if you have replied.
Well, first off, I respect those people who do eat meat... so I don't agree with you on how those things are unhealthy for you. There are many benefits for meat and milk. Milk is calcium and meat is protein. Did you know that tofu has way more fat than meat if cut in the same portion? 8 grams of fat for a strip of tofu seems like a lot. But anyhow, don't say which one is better, just eat how you want to eat without saying. Anyone different is most likely gonna cause a scene, that's just how society reacts. I'm sorry that people are judging you, but please don't let that get in your way. All they are talking about is how you eat, it shouldn't affect who you are.
well, i'm a vegetarian. eating meat isn't a bad thing, i just don't approve of the killing methods. people aren't grateful for what they have. my parents eat meat, but i don't because i feel better when i don't. i'm allergic to milk and meat makes me sick. you don't see calfs consuming human milk and chickens eating.. uh. yeah. if you eat fresh meat that's great. i used to, but i kept getting sick.
Evan...
In part, I think it is because not enough people understand the benefits of your plan. I know some vegans who want to force their ideas down my throat. They don't know when to keep their thoughts to themselves. Nobody has a corner on what the correct answers are. Even the government cannot stick with the same pyramid for too long.
The proof is in the pudding.though. Look at what Americans die from vs others in the world and you can see that you are eating a generally sound diet. The birds love seeds and fruit and the bears like the salmon. Beyond that, tofu, seitan, textured vegetable protein and eggs are good alternatives to red meat.
At the same time nobody gets out of this life alive irrespective of what one eats.
