Answers:
The main issue I find with vegans is when they act all superior to me because they don't eat meat and I do!. I don't care if they eat meat or not but don't call me names or look down on me because I do!.
I do have a problem with the radical groups like PETA, ALF and so on!. Those people need to get a life and leave the rest of us alone!. If I want to eat meat, wear leather, have a pet, etc!. that's my business!. And don't give me that "I won't eat a living creature" crap!. Plants are living things too you know they just don't bleed or make any noise when you rip them from the ground, tearing their delicate roots off; skin them (peel them); hack their limbs off; rip their fruit off them while they are still alive (fruit trees anyone!?) etc!. Plants do detect damage and do their best to repair it!. Ever seen scars on a plant!? Look closely and you'll see them!. Some species of plants even go to great lenghts to try to defend themselves with spines, prickles, toxic sap etc!. but we find ways to get around that and kill them anyway!. If we don't want a plant around and don't want to eat it, we spray it with herbicides!. Chemical warfare! These chemicals do all kinds of gruesome damage to weeds!. If we sprayed people with stuff that did to them what Roundup does to weeds, we'd be called monsters and locked up somewhere!. What's that leave!? Starving to death!. If you are going to eat plants which are living creatures, then don't be a hypocrite to people who choose to broaden their range of living creatures to include animals too!.
The culture I grew up in probably has a lot to do with my eating habits!. Doesn't it for most people!? I eat what my parents, grandparents and further on back ate: beef, pork, chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, fruits and vegetables (shocking but true I do eat at least two servings a day), grains (I love home baked bread), milk and cheese and a few sweets!. I grew up in Nebraska on a cattle ranch so you can imagine I was exposed to all stages of animal production!. I even delivered baby calves, bottle fed them, helped take care of them as they grew and then helped butcher that same calf when it was big enough (about 1000 pounds)!. It's part of the cycle of life!. Are wild animals that eat meat bad!? Do vegans hate lions, wolves, bears etc!? Omnivores like bears and most monkeys eat both plants and other animals too!. Are they bad!? The evolutionists tell us we humans are animals that evolved from monkeys!. I think its baloney but still, I say if you are against people eating meat then you cannot be an evolutionist too!. If you are, you are contradicting yourself!. On the one hand, you are saying that people shouldn't eat animals because animals have rights!. But who stops a bear from killing and eating fish!? Dont the poor fish have rights!? If it's ok for bears to eat fish but it isn't for people to eat fish then what does that make people!? Are we "higher beings" than bears!? If so, how can we just be another animal like the Darwinists say!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

It only bothers me on a culinary level!. I work with food and there are so many wonderful flavors and qualities in meats that makes me upset that people don't want to expierience them!. I try everything even if I know I'm going to hate it or I get sqeemish on where it comes from!. I'm just being a food snob, but as long as people are enjoying what they're eating I have no problem with it!.
And Peta really bothers me not so much because of what they believe but there are so many people that try to shove it down your throat and tell you if you eat meat you're evil!. But I feel that way about any group that does that (particularly watchdog groups like FCC)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I understand vegetarians FAR MORE than vegans!. I can completely see why people wouldn't want to eat meat (though it does help control the population and is also a natural protein source)!. However, I can't see how some people won't eat animal-derived products, like eggs and dairy!. These are products of animals that are natural and it is not harmful to the animals - i!.e!. they don't lose their lives over producing this stuff!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I have no personal problems with vegetarians!.
I eat the way I do because it's a source of food and bodily health when consumed in reasonable amounts!. I disagree with PETA in that I believe in animals as a source of food!.
I'm not a raging meat eater, I just don't see the sense in vegetarianism!. I'm open to enlightenment!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I personally don't have anything against it!. I think it's just that people don't like seeing people [vegetarians, vegans] limit themselves when it comes to what they eat and don't understand the reasons behind it!. Many a time have a met a vegetarian/vegan that became one with no solid reasoning behind why they did, and you can't help but laugh!. I admit sometimes I laugh at my vegetarian friend because she acts funny with her eating habits in regards to beef, chicken, etc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I have nothing against it!. I just like meat :)
Pork chops, combination (or pepperoni) pizzas, hot dogs, hamburgers, etc!.
Although one issue I have with vegetarians!.!.!. PETA holy crap extremities are never good!. We don't care if you don't want to eat meat, sure we'll support you in your fight against KFC torturing chickens, but just cause I'm eating what used to be a chicken doesn't give you the right to shove your beliefs down my throat!. Cause while you're talking I'll just shove a chicken nugget down your throat :DWww@FoodAQ@Com

I know you wanted responses from meat eaters, but I really wanted to tell you something!. Although I am veggie I do think Peta are extreme!. I get emails all the time from Peta!. How the hell do they know my email address!?! Lol :)Www@FoodAQ@Com
I don't care what you eat but being in a relationship with one would be a pain the the a s s!. also, I don't like it when they look down at us like we are doing something wrong by eating meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I don't have anything personally against vegetarians or people from PETA, it is when some extremist get in your face that I feel defensive!. If you want a soy burger I'm not going to throw chlorophyll at youWww@FoodAQ@Com
my philosophy is to each their own!. what you eat is your choice!. i try to eat healthy!. i usually eat whatever i am craving b/c that's a sign there is some mineral that my body needs in that food!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
i only have a problem with the ones who try to force their lifestyle on me!.
i could care less what you eat, just dont force it on meWww@FoodAQ@Com

it matters not to me what people eat!.!.!.i eat!.!.!.!.foodWww@FoodAQ@Com
Humans were meant to eat meat!. It is the ONLY complete source of essential amino acids, and many vitamins!. Evolutionarily speaking, meat tastes good for this reason!. All vegans that I have ever met were weak and sickly, and their brains didnt seem to be functioning properly either!. It is very difficult and complicated (if not impossible) to get all of the nutrients you need without eating !.!. well!.!.!. animals!. I would never date a vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I eat chicken, eggs, sea food and sometimes beef but rarelyyyyyyy !.!.and i just have to say vegeterians think they are to cool!.!.!.they seriously think they are better then everyone!.!.!.LOL and the biggest issue i have with them is most of the time they are bullshitting!!!!!! they call themselves vegetarians and they still eat eggs or fish!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? thats not a vegetarian !.!.!.and alot of vegetarians i knew eat meat when no ones around!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
