All right who else is sick of this???!
All right who else is sick of this???
if i hear one more big bad hunter redneck telling me about how the human body is designed to eat meat i am going to snap. it gets annoying! i mean seriously! i don't go around talking about what parts of the body are designed for vegetarian eating! (long digestive system designed for digesting vitamins and minerals in plants and not the bacteria and cancer causing protien in meat.) and if one more single minded idiot tells me about how "eating leaves" (actual quote) will make me sick and die at a young age, i will just snap i mean COME ON! the typical vegetarian is 40% less likely to have cancer and 50% less likely to have heart disease than the typical meat eat eater(regardless of smoking and whatever else). and vegetarians live 6-10 years longer than meat eaters. and they say that i am unhealthy?!?!?!?! are there any other vegetarians out there who are also sick of this? also i am tired of big bad man hunter describing in great detail the agonizing death of a deer! it's offending!!!

i don't preach to them (like i said i DON'T come up and tell them how a veg diet is healthier). i am the only lacto-vegan at my school and people will come up to me and ask me what it is like and "ohh... thats too bad" and basically treat me like i have a disease... and i don't hang out with the hunters... they usually end up sitting by me... (remember seating assignments)
and in response to squirel squirel's question, only 2% of veggies and vegans are fat or obese... i don't know where you get your information... but its kinda inaccurate...

i am ******* fed up with these asshole rednecks telling me meat is good!! why the **** are they lurking around the veg section anyways. dont they have anything better to do with their pathetic little murderous lives? shouldnt they be out spitting tobacco and watching the dukes of hazzard (dont even tell me im stereotyping, if they gonna dish it out to me, they should be ready to have it shoved done their ******* throats )
and i get meat thrown at me in school just cause i wont eat it!!! the **** is wrong with these assholes? and people ask me why i hate all those kids so much
did ya ever see my cousin vinny- classic line on the hunting seen "Imagine you're a deer. You're prancing along. You get thirsty. You spot a little brook. You put your little deer lips down to the cool, clear water - BAM. A fuckin' bullet rips off part of your head. Your brains are lying on the ground in little bloody pieces. Now I ask ya, would you give a **** what kind of pants the son-of-a-***** who shot you was wearing? "- classic the human body is designed to eat meat If i have to hear one more vegan try to convince me that not eating meat is the way to go i'm gonna slap him/her with a rib eye!
BTW dykes love to eat meat! I EAT MEAT,BLOODY,BLOODY MEAT!!
SNAP!!!??? So, your sick of it, your tired of it and your going to snap, all because someone believes in something you do not believe in...
you don't happen to be a Democrat or a Liberal do you? I am really excited about the prospect of your party coming to power again someday... I just can't wait to be told how to think. I think the problem lies in the fact that many vegans particularily are unhealthy. Vegge's not as much. There are certain minerals that are missed by not eating meat, The lifestyle really needs to be researched and informed when choosing it. And I don't really think we were made to be one or the other. I think the beauty of human evolution is that we have been made to be omnivores. I mean we do have sharp canine to chew meat. But it's just ignorance and they won't live as long as you so why worry about it the stress will just kill you. Adam and Eve were actually vegetarians up to the point where they sinned. that is when death entered the world. human beings are hunter gatherers by nature. we should eat meat and veg in the correct proportions.
i'm not a hunter but i like both meat and veg They should respect your wishes just as you should respect theirs.
That being said, don't let people you don't even know have control over your feelings. I can understand your fustration...
Would it help if you did not hang out with such people? I do not mean for that to sound rude or anything, but if you were not around them, then they would not have the chance to get under your skin...
Carivores just don't understand, and you can not force them to change their minds...
They are just trying to get your goat. Keep your chin up, and don't give them the satisfaction of you snapping! THE HUMAN BODY CRAVES MEAT~! JK JK. just be respectful that some people have their own views and it is wrong to force your beliefs on them one way or the other! i think some people are letting u know their views. its not meant to be crammed down ur throat. but i get what your saying.. I agree only because I was a vegetarian for five years, through my first pregnancy and fed my daughter no meat for her first year until I fell back into the nasty ways of meat eating. She is now in her 20's and has been a vegetarian for a year now. I would love to go back and become a vegetarian again. It is healthier. I never had a cold when I was a vegetarian. Lots of people do not agree and that is their choice. Take care Please DO
:~) why are a lot of vegans fat? Aren't veggies supposed to keep you slim? Are Twinkies vegan friendly? There's nothing wrong with being a vegetarian and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. As long as you're getting protein from some other foods, you're fine. Why don't you just say you're happy with your current lifestyle, they can be happy with theirs, and neither of you should preach to the other?
Honestly, it's like the whole stupid Christians vs non-Christians thing that goes on. Live your own life and be happy with your own choices.
You can't stop someone trying to preach to you, so just smile, say thank you for your opinion, and move on.
I'd also like to add- if anyone misread my statement above and thought I was saying Christians are stupid, I'm sorry. I meant that the whole debate is stupid. It does get a little much to ignore sometimes. I live in Louisiana, "The Sportman's Paradise" is on our license plates! I get tons of hunter comments about why I should eat wild game & what not. I eat meat but I don't have the desire to hunt it myself, I'd rather have it processed & ready to cook for me. I'll say that this swings both ways, because vegetarians can be annoying as all get out about their food too. We have domain over the animals & the dirt in the ground, so pick & choose what you like best, that's what I always say. I could care less what someone else chooses to eat, ya know? I'm gonna stick to both steaks & potatoes. im not really sure how someone telling you about the death of a deer is offending to you. i mean, unless you were raised by deer or something like that. if that is the case, then you have my sympathies... Where do your statistics comes from, sources please.... until then, they do not mean anything....
Besides, do you know what an Omnivore is, or the definition thereof?
Just a side note, how long can the human body work properly without an intake of protein?
Doesn't protein come mostly from meats? I did not say ONLY, I said MOSTLY, because you can get protein from peanuts for example.....
Besides, that big bad hunter you described, sounds like someone that is going out of his way to annoy you, because YOU allow it to get under your skin...
Matter of fact, it is your problem, not his... Youre the one offended, not him..... Most vegetarians arent good at sports or hard labor. If you are so offended by meat, why do you forget your body is made of Flesh. Should you not lose the flesh you have and turn yourself into somewhat tree like and dig yourself into the ground. I wonder what the big cats are thinking about becoming vegetarian. No offense. i'm totally with you on this one. as a veggie with a big southern family that likes to hunt i got it hard the first thanksgiving. "well you can have just a little turkey, we wont tell anyone"...I don't go into butcher shops and tell eveyone inside about how there intestines are clogging up with un -digested animal fat or talking about how much of a waste of land raising cattle is. so i don't think it would be to much for people who have a problem with the way i eat to stay out of a question forum that says no meat in the title unless they have an actual intelligent question. Actualy wasnt there a olympic athlete who convinced his whole team to try vegetarianism and it worked fine? Infact he is still a vegetarian.
And to all the meat-eaters I have yet to see a vegetarian say that you should change we just respond when you tell us we are sick,weak and doing something that is unatural. I sympathize with you but there is nothing that we can do. They are just ignorant people who can't grasp the concept that people think differently from them. It's more of the idea behind why they describe the details of their killings that bothers me. They don't simply do it because they think we would be interested, they do it because they know that it upsets us. It's harassment. People constantly just tell me that I should just eat meat or that I should just "get over it" and take a bite. But that is like telling a religious person to "get over it." All you can do is ignore them and know that you are being the better man. Yes I agree with you 100%.
I also get tired of hearing how vegetables and fruits feel the way animals feel, how vegetarians aren't as healthy because we choose to omit all meat from our diets, and how all the nutrients we need can be found in meats.
And how all vegetarians are weak and frail, and tired all the time, and how we cannot possibly get any protein in our diets since we do not eat meat, which they believe is the sole source of protein, and we are all anemic.
It can get frustrating when people who have no knowledge of what being vegetarian truly involves tend to believe in these MYTHS and when they are corrected by actual vegetarians who would know what's factual and what's not, they label US as being uniformed-pretty ironic, huh??
It's also sad how so many meat eaters tend to have a sick sense of humor by either describing the killing of an innocent, defenseless animal or sticking meat in your face.
They just don't realize how serious being vegetarian means to us, or how unhealthy they are for consuming meat.
Could be denial-who knows.
But I am fortunate for personally knowing meat eaters that do not partake in such immature and ignorant behavior, even though we do not come eye to eye on things-they do not try to force their meat eating beliefs on me. i honestly think that some people are just blinded to the fact that eating meat is a slow poison.Almost all diseases are caused by eating meat directly or indirectly.i get so sick and tired of ignorant people coming to be and telling me just the crap you have been eating.they are so brain washed that it is almost unbelievable. but i tell you what,we are by far more healthy than these people and the meat is preventing them from seeing that.very best of luck and KEEP IT UP I am just curious why these people even make comments to you? Do you wear a sandwich board proclaiming your a vegan in front of steak houses? Do you go to hunters check stations and scream it on a bullhorn? Do you go to Bass Pro Shop and hand out flyer's proclaiming "I am a vegan and proud of it!!"?
My guess is you are an *ss about your choice and try to push it on everyone else. I've known people for years before I found out they were vegan, I mean it is not something that comes up in everyday conversation. I don't say things like "Nice whether. Eat any dead animals lately?"
I eat meat, but guess what, I don't give a flip about whether you or anyone else does! But come up to me and start spouting off about it, and you will get an earful! It is amazing to me how people can be all for "tolerance" as long as everyone makes the same choices as they do. My vegan friends politely suggest restaurants that serve good meatless dishes, and go on from there. If it bothers them to see someone eat a bloody steak, they decline the offer to dine with that person. Tolerance goes both ways, I suggest you learn to show some! I'm not sure there is a polite way to handle these people. They spout the Party Line & have not looked pass the PR bought by all the different Boards for the meat & dairy, etc. industies.
I usualy just say You are Wrong. If you want I'll give to some websites to get the other side of this story. If they continue I explain I think they are being rude.
I have friend who when someone won't stop talking about that kind of thing, he starts telling rauncy jokes..I can not handle those things that way but it seems to shut them up fast. u are IGNORANT. most people in america have higher rates ofg cancer because of the large consumption of fried meats and red meat. look at japan and some south east asian countries. they eat fish and poultry in proper harmony with other things and they have some of the best health on the planet.
