Hitler would have preferred to be a vegetarian and was so in private. Occasionally he would discourage very close friends and family from eating meat. His fear was that not eating meat would be perceived as an affront to German culture. Which is quite true.

Hitler would have preferred to be a vegetarian and was so in private. Occasionally he would discourage very close friends and family from eating meat. His fear was that not eating meat would be perceived as an affront to German culture. Which is quite true. I don't think or feel it is true of those who have "settled into" or matured into being either vegan or vegetarian. I do think some of the "kids" and a few of the older persons are into a lot of unnecessary hand-wringing and other "emoting". You can tell by either their stridency and wild assertions or the whiney, slobbering, doomsday kind of replies, IMO. I agree with you. Yes, they do exhibit emo-like behavior. first of all deffinatly not all vegans and vegitarians are emo! i know about 20 of them and they are all very happy with there lives. they just prefer not to kill other animals lives "Emo" does not exist. I didn't know Gandhi was a fan of The Cure.

On May 30, 1937 The New York Times reported, "Hitler is a vegetarian, ... although he occasionally relishes a slice of ham and relieves the tediousness of his diet with such delicacies as caviar..." One of the stupidest questions I've seen. How can an emotional problem have anything to do with a persons choice not to kill animals for food. Hitler was no emo.

Adolf could not bear to eat meat, because it meant the death of a living creature.
He refused to have so much as a rabbit or a trout sacrificed to provide his food.
He would allow only eggs on his table, because egg-laying meant that the hen had been spared rather than killed. No...some of us are just tree hugging hippies :-)
I think that a lot of emos are vegetarians and vegans, but a lot of people are vegetarians and just don't advertise it. HH the Dalai Lama doesn't exhibit any emo behavior and I don't think he is at risk for having any emotional disturbances. Many people are vegetarians because of the immense health benefits or the physical benefits. Most celebrities are because it is known that a vegetarian lifestyle promotes a healthy glow. Pam Anderson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Woody Harrelson, Joaquin Phoenix, Princess Diana, and the list goes on and on. None of these people are emo. Even the original Ronald McDonald (Jeff Giuliano) was a vegetarian.

Hitler was not a vegetarian. He used vegetarianism to cure his health disorders on the advice of Wagner (whom he admired). It first worked when he was 22 with stomach issues so he tried it in '31 to help his health, but only cut back. His favorites were sausage, squab, liver dumplings, ham, and caviar....none of which are vegetarian. lol, im pretty sure im not emo in any way, i hate MCR or any other of their crappy music, you need some metallica therapy!!!!! What's "emo"? No, and my 3 year old's not showing any tendencies either ! Nope.. that is an insane idea.. That's like saying "I wonder if all chineese are goths or repressed goths.."
All the vegans I know are actually conservative christians.. And I am too, but I've never listened to emo type music in my life.. I'm still stuck on music of the 60's and 70';s... MAN that was some awesome music.. nothing else compares.. I occasionally listen to some modern stuff, but pop, not anything like emo... I"m much closer to being a hippy, but not all vegetarians/vegans are hippies either... for sure..
I wouldn't make a very good hippie, though, because I don't believe that free love or drugs are a good thing...
I'm not into hating life, I"m into LOVING life and enjoying it to the fullest...
And no, Hitler was not really a vegetarian.. health problems led him to eat meat only rarely, but his diet was only dictated by stomach problems, not moral or ethical beliefs..
Einstein, though, was vegetarian at the end of his life, and had believed in it for awhile.. Here are two actual quotes of Einstein:
"So I am living without fats, without meat, without fish, but am feeling quite well this way. It always seems to me that man was not born to be a carnivore."
an earlier letter says this : "I have always eaten animal flesh with a somewhat guilty conscience."
- Einstein Archive 60-058 No I do not cut myself, are you really that stupid as to ask such a useless pointless question? What IS "emo" exactly? I've never understood that... I've been called "emo" before by a friend because I'm very sensitive. I don't listen to "emo" music or anything like that... If I wasn't such a sensitive soul, would the pain and suffering of an animal still bother me? I'm not sure... but as I am now, I can't stand the sight or even the thought of it. So maybe I AM emo! Most of the vegetarians I know, however, don't display "emo" signs, lol. I've been wondering what "emo" means, actually. Is it similar to punk/skater?
I'm a vegan, and I'm not emo.
I think that those who question the status quo (that eating meat and animal products is morally acceptable) are just by their very nature unique individuals and that is going to be expressed in some other ways, one of them being an emo. I would just like to point out that my little clone here isn't what she says she is. She originally started out as an Ashely and then decided to 'clone" herself into me. However, take a look at her profile and you will see she has not changed it. It still has her listed as a vegan. Also, by looking at some of the Q & A I noticed "she" appears to come off as more of a man. I knew it. Busted!
