To all the vegitarians would you eat meat if it was the only thing to eat? Or would you let yourself starve?!
Because if you've been veg for any length of time and eat a meat dish you get pretty sick. We're talking vomiting, diarrhea, etc. (Still think meat is good for you?) If a veg had to eat ONLY meat they would probably end up dehydrated quickly, because this reaction forces food and water out of the body before it can gain any nutritional value from it.
We'll ignore the fact that if there are animals, there must be plant life......
Anyway, it's hard for anyone to say what they would do in that situation....desperate times call for desperate measures.
EDIT: why all the thumbs down? any drastic change (for the worse) in diet can cause a flu-like reaction and push one to dehydration. and i'm guessing if one is in an area with no plant life there is also very little water. what am i missing here??
Answers: If meat were the ONLY thing we could eat, we'd probably die anyway....or we'd get close to it. Why, you ask?

that would never happen... animals need grains and plants to eat before we could eat them.
however, to answer your question, i really don't know. i don't like meat for other reasons other than moral reasons. if i were ever in that situation, i don't know how i would react.
Well duh i would go 4 the meat if it meant my life
Do you mean if for example.... I went camping, got lost and stranded in the wilderness, would I eat a cute fluffy bunny if it was the only thing around? Yes, I would eat the bunny. Sorry bunny.
Or if I went on a plane and it crashed in the Alpines would I eat a person? I think in this case I would die. Soilent Green is PEOPLE! ;)
If there was absolutely nothing else (like, the plants that the animal ate), then yeah. People have eaten human flesh in desperate circumstances.

i would eat the meat if i wanted to live. wost ppl probly would, too
I would eat meat in this situation.
Spurious question. Serious answer.
Frankly there is always something else to eat. And if not, really not, then fasting is a terrific option. Water is more important than food in maintaining life. And there are nutrients in amazing places in the wild that do not take a life -- my own or any other creatures.
I think I answered this question not too long ago.... anyhow...
Logically speaking, if there are cows around that means there are PLANTS around too, therefore... I'll look for some kind of vegetable, or berry or something of that nature, so I can eat and survive......
Unless there's only carnivore animals around me... then... hmmmm the situation gets tricky, I don't know if I would tho......
if there were plants around, i'd eat them before i ate the meat...but, since I've been veggie (year and a half) whenever I eat meat i get sick. I'd either eat a plant or starve.
Of course I would. I'm vegetarian, but I'm not insane. I wouldn't put an animal who would rather pee on my leg, before my own life.
yeah, i am kind of selfish, i am actually a vegetarian to try to prove to people that i am not selfish
I would prolly let myself starve.
the taste and texture and fattyness of meat is just so disgusting to me. and i used to get really sick when i would have meat [before i went veg] so yeah.
NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyway... that wouldnt happen ! ! there would hav 2 be some kind of plants sommmewhere...
meat is the devil ahahaha but seriouly...
i tink it is REALLY GROSS that some pepole eat meat .... it cute little amimalss!!! it nasty to do that..& meAN ...
ME A VEGGIRIAN
Yes, because i think my family and friends would suffer more if i died than the animal's family would if it died (sorry not meaning to sound arrogant or anything!) Plus, i'm vegetarian mainly because of horrific exploitation of animals in modern society not because i think life is intrinsically sacred or something, so killing an animal in the wild, whilst obviously not ideal, is at least not contributing to that.
as some people say that would never happen but if it was the case then if the animals were killed and kept in a humane way with freedome and fed well, and killed in 2 seconds then i dont see much of a problem but that would be if i was desprate, and it wont even happen thank god. can stand flesh of something inside me, unless i was pregnant XD
