Do you think vegetarians would ever come round to eating meat?

[DOG LIPS]

the dog's meat is right by the Dogs Lips...

So you're saying that you're jealous that dog's can perform oral on themselves? Pervert.

But some vegetarians are ok with nuts.

some vegetarians are nuts.

Humans at their most basic level are animals, mammals to be more specific. We were born with incisors to be able to eat meat. Like other omnivorous animals we eat other animals. Vegetarians as a whole work against nature, therefore when the end of times cometh. They will be the first to perish.

we were also born with an apendix, just because we have something does not necessarily mean that it goes without nature to not have it function.

They can go and eat themselves then.

not nuts in that way. a kind of impractical nuts.

i was setting up some stuff first. they are probably against meddling with genetic codes aswell. the animal resultant would be an abomination to them even if none sentient it would still symbolise mans messing with nature to them.

well technically it wouldn't be an animal first but i still see your nature.

and where is this correlation between GM activists and vegetarians because personally i don't see it as clear cut both seem to be acting on different wavelengths

ie, GM haters that have organic meat

vegetarians that take a whole load of vitamin pills and also GM products found in a whole selection of food.

you think the GM section will engulf the veggies once the killing of animals to provde meat no longer becomes a sufficient argument to substain their abstinence (if it's not a taste preference of course).

 

[Danalys]

it's nearly always genetically modified crops that make the news. but that is possibly because that is where the majority of progress is.

i'm sorry for not getting into the details with you but i'm not in the frame of mind at the moment to focus on the details.

Were also born with a mouth to you know shut the **** up.

appendixes are probably vestigal organs.

I assume they already do - I mean, where else do baby vegetarians come from?

I'm a proud meat-eater, myself. Screw broccoli - give me a big, juicy steak, or a butterflied leg of lamb, or a roasted chicken. I've even eaten bear - in sausage form, no less.

If meat is murder, then murder is delicious.

Grown meat, though? Ick. I'm a tad iffy about GM meat. Sure, it eliminates the possibilities of mad cow, but it'll put thousands of dairy and beef farmers out of business. I come from a part of Canada whose economy depends on our beef farming. Plus, one will never be able to know the long-term health effects of the stuff until it's too late.

And on a side note, I'm not a vegetarian, but I can't handle nuts. Those buggers try to kill me every damn day.

lol...that got a laugh out of me

 

[grey_jeanie]

I probably will when I get pregnant so the baby is as healthy as possible

[November Rain]

would you raise it as a vegetarian?

if you don't mind me asking

 

[grey_jeanie]

No, only if they want.

I don't even know why I'm veggie. I don't think it's wrong to eat meat, I think that's the way nature intends. I just feel better in myself doing it and feel like I'm doing something toward what I feel towards animals.

Red meat promotes the growth of red blood cells, as well as providing lots of healthy amino acids. Eat meat during pregnancy! And veggies! And dairy! And grain.

I would not suggest going off on any of the four food groups while the child's developing.

Are you a vegetarian for animal rights reasons, or health reasons?

Thats not proper grammar. Thats speaking like a pretentious jackass. There is a difference.

I sort of explained below. I'm not really sure.

That's part of my humour - it was a joke, to soften the blow of grammar correction while showing you the other end of the spectrum of speech. I admit, it's funnier when I translate from n00b to English, because I'm adding so-called 'intelligence' to essentially mindless posts.

"haha u sux LOLZ. ZOMG!"
GrammarBatGirl translation: "Verily, thou dost fail most terribly! Zounds!"
I'm kidding around. Sorry if I bugged you.

that's not "so called 'intelligence'" it's just intelligence or commen sense. i can't figure out which one yet but it's one of them.

Alright, at first hand this sounds fairly awkward but hear me out.

If at one point in the future, scientists were able to sucessfully able to grow flesh/meat of animals independant from the animals, themselves, it would mean that feasibly, no more animals would have to be slaughtered for meat. If the meat can be grown independant of a living sentient mind, then there are no more animals that need to be killed or at least you can have a choice of where your food comes from.

If this became mainstream (and just for argument's sake it does), would this persuade more vegetarians to come back to eating meat?

or would this just push them further away from the idea?

if the meat doesn't come from a sentient being that needs to be killed in order for it to be consumed, i don't see the argument (unless it comes down to simply taste).

if there are any vegetarians out there reading this (ie Siren and the Dynster) your opinions will be the most valuable here but all are welcome to participate.

danke.

Actually they are already growing meat in a lab. They've successfully grown beef, though FDA rules prevented the scientists from tasting it and they are working on pork and chicken.

I read that in my local paper today.

Wow, they're not allowed to taste it?

How would they know that the beef tasted like beef? The Pork like pork? The chicken like...well, chicken?

I mean, in two years from now am I going to tuck into a steak and have it taste like Tom Cruise's cloned ass?
