my wife has been vegetairan (not vegan- completely different) all her life. why? cuz she cant stand the texture of meat. it turns her stomach. and she doesnt eat fish. if you claim to be a vegetarian and you eat fish you are only deluding yrself. jelly/jello is in there too, that is a meat product too!!!
vegetarians do not eat any meat of any animal fish foul or beast, vegans are the complete nutbags (literally) i couldnt live like that at all, it must be hard. mind you, i cant do without quality cooked meat on a daily basis..... ps. i didnt read thread so sorry if what i said has been covered.... |

She's not vegetarian, going by the proper definition. But the fact that she's committed herself to a conscious and compassionate option is great, I think. And of course, it may well be he first step towards becoming vegetarian at some point. It'd great that you are treating her decision with respect, because children not being taken seriously is the biggest barrier to them making choices. In my experience, from the ones I talk to t work, at seven years of age, children are more than ready and capable of informed choices based upon their own assessment of a situation rather than pressure. They understand a lot more than they are given credit for. As for stuff to give her: plain cashew nuts are great in curries, and all nuts are full of pretein.

I've read a lot of philosophical papers which talk about Wagner as 'the great lost poet' or a perfect instance of Hegelian synthesis, and the usual reactionary nonsense about anti-semitism. And, of course, Nietzsche. I am an anti-semite, according to my ex-girlfriend at about 11 O'clock on porim and pretty much constantly during her cousin's batmitzvah.

i went under cover as a vegeatarian for 5 years, and i'll tell you this, never have i met a more self-righteous, self-satisfied, joyless and closed minded bunch of people in my life. also, they are incredibly deceitful, if you quiz them about whether they think they are better than everyone else they'll deny it, but when there aren't any meat eaters around, and the vegetarians think they are safe, out come the high horses, the disdain and disgust for their fellow man, and haughty self-satisfied sneers at their own presumed moral superiority. Not to mention half-baked scientific theories to justify their diets of tofu and gruel.

Everyone is a snob about something when they are comfortable and familiar.
Thanks for the nice comments though. |

Believe me, it's no coincidence that Hitler was a vegetarian!

Yep, and everyone with a moustache kills Jews and gays and gypsies.
Or at least wants to. |

Of course, Joseph Stalin was famous for eating meat, and he's seen by some as even worse than Hitler. I wonder if that proves a simlar point about meat-eaters...
Or would suggesting that just be trolling nonsense?

Tell me there aren't any number of ways in which you secretly feel superior to other people.
If you don't have these feelings about some facet of your life, you are lying to yourself. Nothing wrong with it either. People are stupid. |

for the record, peter singer is a moron. just because i'm a vegetarian doesn't mean that i believe any differentiation between men and animals on the grounds that men have a rational faculty that they are required to use in order to survive (which animals, being largely instinctive in nature, do not) amounts to wholly unjustifiable "species-ism."

i do have vegan friends who are fairly joyless and cannot find humour in anything but everyone can be self righteous about something. take hip hop or rap for example. recall a massive debate about that on the previous board. i personally dont go around telling people what to eat or that i dont like meat. its funny that people think that there is nothing but meat to eat, like nothing else exists and i am always asked 'what do you eat'?

I have been vegetarian for about a year and a half now. Kinda been on and off vegan. I am for lots of reasons but mainly I just don't feel that I have the right to eat a dead who has suffered so much when it is not at all necessary because there are so many alternatives available. If we were living in a world were meat was the only viable way to survive then maybe it would be justified but it isnt. I guess the health reason comes into it a bit but that isnt really my main reason. Though I have started eating so much more healthy since I gave up meat
