peacefuljeffrey 0 #8 July 22, 2004 Look, I got nothin' against eating these things, but I have to be completely honest about why I could not make this "my diet": It feels too strongly like something's missing. You could even call it an "addiction" if you like, but I MUST have something animal in my meal if it's going to feel, for me, like I really ate a meal. Think of the headaches that people get when they don't get the morning coffee that they're used to. It's kind of like that. I'm an omnivore. If I weren't meant to be, my body would not be able to digest meat. Vegan-pushers really need to stop attempting to equate obesity and health problems with eating meat. It is not due to eating meat, but to eating TOO MUCH of a VARIETY of things. A meat eater who chooses lean cuts, or who takes the skin off chicken, for example, or who just EATS MODERATE PORTIONS is not going to become obese or have clogged arteries etc. There is more at work in the making of an obese, unhealthy person than just eating meat, and it's time the vegans and vegetarians stopped with the intellectual dishonesty surrounding the causes of these problems. It's very transparent, and it actually harms the cause because their credibility falls into question. --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

freeflybella 0 #9 July 22, 2004 Boo. You're no fun. Besides, if you don't look at it from a totally selfish point of view - you'll see it has nothing to do with how good you look or how great you feel. More that it has everything to do with compassion. Thank you for this (and the other) discussion. It's been interesting, challenging and a pleasure.

RoadRash 0 #11 July 22, 2004 Quote More that it has everything to do with compassion. That was the reason why I became a vegetarian several years ago, however, after much consideration and thought...I realized that instead of truly eating vegetarian for beliefs, I was just eating a vegetarian diet because that is what I was doing for almost 6 years...It became a habit... ~R+R~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

Squeak 17 #12 July 22, 2004 QuoteNo! There are vegan alternatives to just about everything these days! Give it a try! I dont eat much meat but I would never go Vegan. I'm a biologist, and biologically we are desgigned to eat many things. Meat is part of that, although we are not designed to eat meat as our primary food source. I eat meat maybe 3 time a week, and rarely beef, other than mince. I just could not be fugged cooking it, but if i go to a decent restaurant I'll order a SteakYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!
