Vegetarianism

    I was just reading the Subway topic and saw a veg thing mentioned, so I was just wondering, how many of you are actually vegetarian?

    If so, by choice or religion??

    I am anyway, by choice!

    Also what do you think of it?
    Do you agree with it or think it's absolutely stupid?

    In my honest opinion I don't understand why people plod around saying meat is murder, trying to force people into it. I'm veggie because I don't like the thought of animals being bred for meat, but unlike some veggies I know, I don't care whether you decide to eat meat or not. Because it's your choice.

    I have come across vegetarians who try to make people do it and it's so stupid.

    So, thoughts?

    EDIT: I'm now renaming the topic from a question to a title, so it can be discussed better and to avoid off-topic-ing.. lol

    My older brother was a vegetarian once but then he started eating meat out of concerns for his growth. He's a couple of inches shorter than me and I'm still growing. :/

    Never heard of a link between meat consumption and height, he's probably just shorter than you lol!

    I'm a vegetarian, became one when I learned the method in which cattle and pigs, etc are actually killed in Ireland/UK. Horrifying stuff. :(

    I hate all vegetables. If humans were meant to be veggies, then vegetables wouldn't taste like crap. Similarly if we weren't supposed to eat animals, they wouldn't taste so damn good.

    My friend is vegetarian and tried to be a vegan for Lent to win a bet. He had to quit when he fainted and his doctor made him stop. He lost the bet :D

    That doesn't count they are just using the veganism to cover up the disorder.
    They are meateaters at heart.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,332 ✭✭✭HouseHippo


    I'm a veggie, i love meat but It's really bad for me. I'm a veggie by choice all though my bf and his whole family are veggies so its very easy


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 529 ✭✭✭rhapsody!


    Eat Quorn?

    Damn I was going to say something but I can't remember...

    ..

    Oh yes.
    I find it disgusting they put meat - well, gelatine - into jelly sweets and all that, like Haribo or other things like Haribo.

    Vegetarians are sick.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,213 ✭✭✭SoWatchaWant


    Vegheads are scum. Horrible putrid flatulence for starters;) And no, it's not wrong to eat 'animals, it's the way of the world, sure where would any species of animals be without predators kindly eating the weak or stupid specimens, thus benefiting the species of animal through natural selection?

    But to wipe out a species is wrong.

    Not saying eating meat is wrong.
    As I said I don't care whether you eat meat or not.
    I just happen to disagree with eating it :P

    Wild carnivores eat meat out of necessity, because what else could they eat?
    Humans on the other hand have the choice. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    I'm a happy meat eater, and I'm a lot healthier than I was when I was trying to eat vegetarian a few years ago. I don't have an issue with vegetarians, but I just like eating meat :)
