Vegetarians & Veg@ns: Are you against eating meat all together?!


Question: Vegetarians & Veg@ns: Are you against eating meat all together!?
Or are you just against the slaughter of animals!. I myself am not against eating animals i'm just against factory farming and the way we go about it!. I have stated before that I believe if a person wants to eat meat they should go out and hand hunt/fish/kill/slaughter/and clean the animal themselves!. I was curious as to what other vegetarians thought about this topic, so what are your thoughts!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
my belief is that if there is NOTHING else to eat, then yes!.!. (which is why in our past they needed it also!.!.)
but here and now we dont need to!!!!.!.!. we are not living in a place covered in ice where its impossible to grow any kinds of plants!.!. and if we cant grow something, we import it from somewhere else! we got those resources cuz we evolved!.

i dont eat it cuz of the slaughter and everything all together but also for the health!!!

NOW, yes its up to people to chose if they want to eat meat or not,!.!. BUT i believe that if they chose to, then it should AT LEAST be those who were clean!.!. non painful!.!. lived cage free their whole life and fed the right way!.!.!. kind of what you said!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I personally believe that the answer to it all is laboratory grown meat!.
I'm against killing a sentiment being to eat meat all together!. However, I realize that some people don't believe they can live without it and that as you said certain cultures like Inuit and African tribes live off fishing and hunting!. Therefore, I think we should leave those cultures undisturbed!. Let them fish and hunt but encourage the developed world to eat vegetarian or laboratory grown meat that no sentiment being has to die for!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm a vegan for many many reasons but I'm not against eating meat!. I understand animals need meat in order to survive!. I believe humans do not need meat to survive and would be extatic if they cut down their meat intake to once a week!. I think all the time, if people just stopped eating meat altogether all those animals would still die!. They'd be hunted by other animals!. I am very against animal cruelty and factory farming but some people use the $ issue to debate that!. It'd be better if people just didnt buy so much meat and when they did they bought free range!. I know the worlds not going to go vegetarian so I just have to accept the fact that its always going to be around!. I will defend myself if people start blabbing about my diet in a rude manner!. I love animals, ALL animals and it wouldnt be fair for me to say I'm against eating meat, of course I personally am against it, I'm not against it as a whole because I know animals that need it!. Humans dont see a lamb and decide to pounce on it, they werent designed to kill like certain animals!. I wish humans never existed because all we did is mess this planet up!. But now its our duty to fix it and if we don't we ourselves wont survive!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I agree with the first half of your statement, but as for killing food yourself, that's just hypothetical with the way we live now!. I used to think like that when I was a 20 year old veggie!. Now I'm older, I just see things differently!. I have lived in Africa and most people who eat meat don't kill it themselves!. On the other hand I stomped the head in of a rabbit my dog had caught because it had myxomatosis!. I hated doing it, but it had to be done!. It's complicated!. There is justification for killing a sentient being!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I against both factory farming methods and the principle of eating an animal!. To me it feels morally and spiritually wrong to eat another living creature when it is unnecessary for survival!. I just feel like there is no need to take the life of another animal for our pleasure when there are so many plant based alternatives!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

interesting question!. i guess i'm against eating meat all together!. well, i'm for sure against factory farming because it's so horrible for the animals!. But even if someone hunts their own meat, they're still hurting the animal!. I guess my point is that one way or another, all animals killed for food are put in pain, and that's why I'm against all meat eating!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I tried to be a vegetarian!. If I could only learn how to cook their food, I would stop!. But then again, every-time I pass by a Jamaican Restaurant and smell their jerk chicken, or a chinese restaurant and smell their BBQ ribs and fried rice, or McDonald's and smell their Cheese Burgers, or Spanish Restaurant and smell their Stew chicken with rice and beans and fried plantain and lettuce and tomato, I can't seem to stop!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

my thoughts!.!.

my parents raise beef!. the cows live on a huge pasture!. we do not inject hormones into them and they live happy lives!. my parents slaughter one a year and sell some every year!.

the end is the same for them!.!.death

that's why i do not consume my parent's homegrown cruelty free meat!.

as for hunting my family does that too, and they eat the meat!. but killing for them is just good ole family entertainmentWww@FoodAQ@Com

I'm against killing any sentient being unnecessarily(since there is no possible justification for it)!.

Cobra, I said that you can't possibly justify killing a sentient being unnecessarily!. Eating meat is unnecessary in many cases!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Man may possess an elaborate method for defense, or a gorgeous method for eating, sleeping, or mating, but that does not make him advanced!. We may call his advancement polished animalism, and that is all!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I too agree if someone WANTS to eat meat they should go out and kill it themselves!. No one needs meat!. I wish the whole world would wake up and realize speciesm is as horrific as sexism, racism etc!. I wish the whole world would go veg!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

d!.o!.t if you want us to hunt kill and sluaghetr our meat would you also ONLY pick fruit and veg you found in the woods and not grow anything yourself!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I am opposed to eating meat altogether because we can survive perfectly well without it!. Why kill if it's not necessary!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

No; people just need to cut back a lot!. It's bad for the environment and unneccessary!. That's why I became vegan!. I'm not really into the whole Peta reasons to become veg@n!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The thought of putting a dead and decomposing animal in my mouth is disgusting!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I feel better for not eating meat!.
Physically, mentally and spiritually!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegetarians if you think your diet is healthy think again!.


Myth: Heart disease in America is caused by consumption of cholesterol and saturated fat from animal products!.

Truth: During the period of rapid increase in heart disease (1920-1960), American consumption of animal fats declined but consumption of hydrogenated and industrially processed vegetable fats increased dramatically!. (USDA-HNI)

Myth: Saturated fat clogs arteries!.

Truth: The fatty acids found in artery clogs are mostly unsaturated (74%) of which 41% are polyunsaturated!. (Lancet 1994 344:1195)

Myth: Vegetarianism is healthy!.

Truth: The annual all-cause death rate of vegetarian men is slightly more than that of non-vegetarian men (!.93% vs !.89%); the annual death rate of vegetarian women is significantly more than that of non-vegetarian women (!.86% vs !.54%) (Am J Clin Nutr 1982 36:873)


Myth: Beef causes colon cancer

Truth: Argentina, with higher beef consumption, has lower rates of colon cancer than the US!. Mormons have lower rates of colon cancer than vegetarian Seventh Day Adventists (Cancer Res 35:3513 1975


Myth: Heart disease in America is caused by consumption of cholesterol and saturated fat from animal products!.

Truth: During the period of rapid increase in heart disease (1920-1960), American consumption of animal fats declined but consumption of hydrogenated and industrially processed vegetable fats increased dramatically!. (USDA-HNI)


Organic meat is healthier than soymeat and any other mock meat!.


-There has not been a single controlled clinical trial that has produced any reduction in CHD mortality that can honestly be attributed to saturated fat restriction or cholesterol-lowering!?

-Long-term follow-up studies have shown that those with the lowest cholesterol levels tend to live the shortest lives!?

-So-called heart-healthy polyunsaturated vegetable oils have been linked to cancer and heart disease!?

-Cholesterol-lowering drugs have not been shown to provide any longevity benefit to women, the elderly, or high-risk men free of heart disease!?

-In Japan, where low-fat diets supposedly protect people from cardiovascular disease, it is actually those who eat the most saturated fat that have the lowest rates of stroke!?

-There is no clinical evidence that eating more whole-grains will reduce your risk of heart disease!?

-Vegetarians do not live longer than people eating a typical mixed diet!?

-Most of the information disseminated by health authorities today is designed not to protect your health, but to benefit vested financial interests!?

If you believe fresh red meat and saturated animal fats cause cancer, you have been brainwashed!. If you believe a vegetarian, high-fiber, organic diet of fruits, vegetables and whole grains does not cause cancer, you have been brainwashed!.
