Question: Is it ok to tell a meat eater not to eat meat!?
Answers:
ya!.!.but they wont listen!. they are blind to the fact that the meat they eat used to live and suffered severly to die!.!.most people just dont care!.!.and if they cant care about innocent animals!.!.what makes us think they will care for humanity!.!.hence!.!.why this world is so messed upWww@FoodAQ@Com

I think you can point out with a meat eater why he shouldn't eat meat in your opinion, as it's important to communicate to others what we think is right, when there's a good reason behind it!.

At the same time, we can't oblige people to change their mind!.

Most of the people know why it would be better not to eat meat already, but still want to eat it, in the same way people who smoke know it's dangerous but still don't quit!.

I think imposition, in any case, is wrong, as you don't achieve the result you want until the person in front of you really wants to change!.

I personally do not think it is ok to tell another person how to eat!. Even if you think it is unhealthy or unethical, it is still a choice that they have made, and it is not your concern!.

There needs to be a mutual respect between people!. I do not believe it to be ok for a vegetarian to harass someone that eats meat, the same as I think it is wrong for someone who eats meat to harass a person that is vegetarian!.

If you go about bothering everyone you know about eating meat, you will soon find yourself eating alone!. No one wants to be preached to, and hopefully if you do begin doing this, you will soon find out that it does nothing but push people from you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No!. As a vegetarian it is not your business to tell meat eaters not to eat meat, just as you would not want a meat eater to tell you not to eat veggies only meat!

Think before you speak!.

also, everybody is allowed their own preferences, beliefs, it is not up to you to make those decisions!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think its ok to have your own opinions- but would a vegetarian like it if you started telling them that they have to eat meat!. DO to others what you would like done to you!.

p!.s nutritionally humans should eat meat, maybe not as much as most do but its important!.
also has anyone ever thought about a corrots feeling- how do you know plants dont have some sort of feelings- they are living too- but we are just higher on the food chainWww@FoodAQ@Com

So many ignorant foolish meat eaters tell me (no, try to force me) to eat meat, so I wouldn't see anything wrong in telling them to stop eating meat!. Besides, we should educate them for their own good!. My family is entirely vegetarian, we are HEALTHY and happy (so!.!.!.meat eaters, unimaginable, isn't it)!. If meat eaters tried our ways they would be very happy, rather than trying to obtain happiness through the tongue!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

well being a meat eater myself it depends who tells me!. if ryan did tell me to then i might lay off the meat a tad, but if someone who i barely know says not to i will order a double cheese burger just to piss em off!. Sorry but I dont like people who just come up to me who I dunno and says not to do something that I always did!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No you can't "tell" them not to eat meat, as it's not your decision!. You have your views on eating meat & so do they!. You can have a friendly debate about it, but at the end of the day you can't "tell" someone what to do!.

*& just to add, humans have been eating meat since the dawn of man!. You wouldn't tell a lion not to eat a zebra would you!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can tell them but I doubt they'd listen!. Yet meat eaters are always on at us veggies that we should eat meat, that we need to eat meat to be healthy and they expect us to listen!. We know better and we have a conscience about the way animals and birds are slaughtered!.
But it's called free choice and we all have to make our own!.

No!. People have a right to eat what they wish!. I bet they wouldn't tell you to eat meat!. It is your choice not to and their choice to do so!.

Edit: (To F U) Meat is healthy for us!. Animals eat other animals and you don't see that as wrong!. For example, Lions break the neck of their prey - they suffer and can die slowly if done wrong or not hard enough!. They often have to struggle to survive or try and outrun the predator!. But you wouldn't tell a lion not to eat meatWww@FoodAQ@Com

you can ask them, but not tell them!. it is their choice to eat meat just like it is yours not to!. as a meat eater myself if i had veg or vegan friends i would probably not eat meat around them out of respect for our friendship; but i would be offended if i was told not to eat meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Every person has a right to make up their own choice about what and how they eat!.
I am not a veggie but tend to eat veggie options free range meat for moral reasons but it really annoys me tho when people who claim to be veggie get on their moral high ground (while sat on their leather sofa eating fish and downing a pint of guinness) bang on about how cruel and inmoral all us meat munchers are!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Not really, wouldn't it be kinda like telling someone who's christian to stop being christian!? Or telling someone that believe's in John McCain to stop believing!?

It's healthy for us as humans to debate our differences, but it all comes down to personal choice!. We should be happy that we were all made differently, otherwise it'd be a pretty boring world!Www@FoodAQ@Com

No it really, really annoys them, especially while they're working in the deli (like me- it's happened)

So leave us alone, you can have your herbivore life and we'll ahve our carnivore life!. We don't tell you it's wrong to not eat meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hell no!.!.!.!.!.let people do what they feel is correct!. Its not up to you to judge people using your values!. I myself am a vegan!.!.!.!.!.!.but not a good one after all I love the taste of meat!.!. he he!. Not really im very much a meat eater!.

Im vegan indirectly, I only eat vegetarian animalsWww@FoodAQ@Com

So then you are okay with a meat eater telling you to eat meat!?

No, you're probably not!. Treat others how you wish to be treated!!!
As a vegan, I HATE when other veg-heads don't respect meat-eaters choices, it's rude and gives the group a bad name!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No would u want someone telling u to eat meat!. Or to turn to their religion!? Or to be told to do anything or seduced into something !? NO!. Keep your beliefs to urself!. Unless ur willing to do whatever everyone else wants u to do all the time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

no!. they were presented with the same information as you!. they have simply come to a different conclusion!. if you preach to them, they will think you are obnoxious and pretentious!. don't make vegetarians come off like that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Why would you want to do that unless it was in your company and you found it nauseating!?
Is it OK to tell a vegetarian not to eat broccoli or a vegan to eat an egg!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

It'd probably be considered rude!. I wouldn't tell anyone to do anything with their diet because I wouldn't want to come across as rude or self-righteous!. Nor would I expect anyone to tell me to eat meat again!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
