If you were a vegeterian.. and you got lost in the woods... would you eat meat?!
alright if you eat meat, and you answer this i already know your going to say yes because meat is the best and you know that from experiance and you thinking you as a vegetarien gets lost in woods like bear grylls and with ur knowledge on how meat taste you would definly eat it, but from a person that is a vegetarian would you eat meat if you were going to die or were starving or would you just die!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Okay, here's what I'd most likely be thinking in a situation like that:
-Holy, cow, holy, cow I'm lost!.!.!.I'm lost!.!.!.
-Okay, look around, anybody around!?
-Nope, (immediately looks for a food source and for some reason berries come to mind!.!.!.) *looks around* any berries/nuts/plants I can live off of!?
-Okay!.!.!.don't have a weapon to hunt!. I can't make one, and even if I had one, I probably wouldn't know how to use it for a long time until I practice for a long time!. But by that time, I'd probably be starving to death!.!.!.
3) Am I going to risk getting rabies, etc!.!.!. while trying to catch an animal with my bare hands!? I certainly hope it doesn't come to that!. I do have feet of course, which are protected by my shoes!.!.!.
4) Getting into a confrontation with a large predatory animal is the last thing I want!.!.!.
Well, those would be similar to my thoughts on being lost in the woods, although I must say it's what I would have thought even if I wasn't veg!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Actually, the better question would be, "How many of us omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans COULD eat meat if we got lost in the woods!?"
Unless I get lost in the woods with a weapon, catching and killing something would be rather difficult!. I suppose I could wait near a rabbit den and try to grab those f*ckers as they jumped out, and maybe I could snap a neck before the bastard bit me and I dropped it, but seriously, how many of us could hunt and kill animals in the forest COMPLETELY UNARMED!?
Your "meat is the best" a$$ would be eating mushrooms and moss like the rest of us!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Eating meat would likely put a vegetarian/vegan in a worse situation than just being hungry!. Someone who has cut animal products out of their diet would surely get sick (maybe just mildly, but maybe more severe), suffer from stomach problems, such as diarrhea and become dehydrated!. Possibly fish would be easier to digest, but I would not even think of going down that route unless I was already about to die!. Because it can't get much worse at that point, right!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
- "trapped in the woods!.!.!.!.you would defiantly eat meat for your survival!"
NOPE! Here's the reality!.
Human's didn't invent plant-foods!. They come from plants!. Plants are everywhere!. Those animals in the woods that you'd eat!.!.!.!.what do you think they're eating!?!?!?
I'd live off the land like all the other wild animals!. It doesn't matter what it is!. Not everything would taste good, but raw meat wouldn't either!.
On the other hand, people that just ate the meat of animals would die of scurvy (humans can't just eat meat like a carnivore because they are one of the few animals that don't produce vitamin C)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Let's get pass the obvious issue of having only meat to eat and not a single plant!.!.!. in the woods!. Let's see beyond the fact that most of us live in civilization and wouldn't even know how to catch, let alone kill an animal!. Here is a question that might clarify things for you (I'm guessing you are a meat eater)!.
If you where trap in an avalanche with nothing to eat but your dead companions, would you do it!? Well, everyone of us would get repulsed by the simple thought of it, but this has happened!. Moreover, society hasn't blame the people that have performed these cannibalistic acts!. Why!? Because we see the right to fight for our own survival as one that trumps all others!. It is the last resource!.
I think know were you are trying to get with this question!. You are trying to find flaws in the reasoning behind a vegetarian lifestyle!. Or maybe this is a purely intellectual question, and if so I'm sorry!. But really, none of us live in the wild!. We don't have to eat anything that we come across to survive!. For goodness sake, we are using a computer right now! We have choices, so why don't we use them!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm a vegan, and if food ran out I wouldn't eat a member of my family; so no, I wouldn't eat an animal in the woods!.
If there's vegetarian food for the animal, then there'll be vegetarian food for me!.
I'd probably get ill if I ate the meat - and with all that dehydration - I would be sure to die!.
It's a good thing I live in the city, then :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

No!.
1!. How the hell am I going to get an animal to eat!?
2!. If I had something to kill the animal, couldn't I just use it to get something that ISN'T meat!.
3!. You'll have a better chance of survival if you eat the berrys and that kind of stuff around you instead of wasting time trying to find an animal!.
4!. I wouldn't be able to kill it!. I'd probably get to sad when I saw it's face !.Www@FoodAQ@Com

How freaking big are these woods that you can starve to death before you reach a road or stream!? Do you realise how long humans can go without eating food before they starve to death!? also, are there no edible berries, nuts, seeds, leaves, etc!.!? Or do they only exist in the non-hypothetical woods!?
I'd take my chances on getting out of the woods without eating an animal, thanks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

lets be realistic people!
even though we are proud to be vegetarians if we were really trapped in the woods and you want to live then you would defiantly eat meat for your survival!
Either you die cause you didn't want to eat meat or you live hurting an animal but still breathing!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Same old stupid question that we've seen 1,000's of times on here!.
Who can tell !?
I could say "no, i'll never eat meat" but how can anyone really tell what will happen when panic, self-preservation and the confusion of near-death starvation takes over!.
anyone who says they will definately die is not being entirely honest with themselves!. They just don't know!.
And thats from someone who has been fanatical about avoiding animal products for 29 years!.
Pointless question that proves or uncovers nothing
Show me any woods that has "meat" in it!. Can you !? No, you cannot!. You can show me woods with animals in it, and where there are animals there is edible vegetation and thats where i'd start!.
If you are going to pose pesudo-childish-phyco questions at least get your terminology rightWww@FoodAQ@Com

HAHAHA
Trust me if you were lost in the wood you wouldn't be able to eat meat even if you wanted!.
If you were lost in the woods you would be eating plants and you would be happy about it!.
But hypothetically, if I could kill to eat and I were staving to death: I don;t know if I would do it but I certainly wouldn't feel I had done anything wrong if I did!. It's not that I think I am more important than any other creature, but you have to respect yourself first!.
Hunger is like sex in that want for it food is instinct and the impulse can be uncontrollable at it's most extreme!. Similarly, I would kill another human to get at the last sandwich if I was starving, if only one person has a chance of living them why shouldn't it be me!. That's what survival is and it is key to my beliefs as a vegan!. There is no need to kill in order to eat so I don't do it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your English is so bad I almost couldn't read the question!. But yes, if my survival depended on it!. But the chances of that are like one in a billion, so I'm not planning on it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Erm!.!.!.what would I be hunting with!? A stick!? Vegetarians aren't usually "packing heat," so hunting might be a bit of a challenge!.
Forget hunting, though!. I could never hunt an animal, or eat meat again for that matter!.
I would eat the granola bar I'd have packed!. =)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well it'd probably be harder to find, kill and cook some meat in the woods than it would be to find and eat vegetables/fruits- so no, I wouldn't!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
if it was pivotal to my survival then yeah im not going to lie of course i would!.!.
plus killing meat myself isn't encouraging disgusting factory farming!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Probably not, no!. there are plenty of other things to eat than meat!. Plus, i wouldn't be able to cook it, i can't even use the washing machine :)Www@FoodAQ@Com
On the contrary!.!. there are more food for a vegetarian in the woods that it is for a meat eater!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
i am sure there are plenty of greens in the woods whcih will help me survive and i wont need to resort to eating meat!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
If I couldn't find nuts and berries, I might!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
