So in your estimation how old would you have to be to make the decision? I only ask because I was around 4 or 5 when I chose to stop eating meat, up to that point I had been given meat when I wanted although I was aware that my mum was vegetarian.
Can we be clear on this, being vegetarian does not automatically make you unhealthy. Not eating a good balanced diet can make you unhealthy.
well, I've always had a hell of a lot of vegetables in my diet, and often the food i eat contains lots of butter, I have milk with meals etc. so i think my diet isn't that bad, i stepped onto the scales the other day, and I was 5 1/2 stone, wtf? 1/2 a stone in a week or two?![]()
I just cant help thinking its pathetic to be vegetarion, there is nothing wrong with eating meat, and the only damn way people are going to get it is by killing like all animals do, ok so we dont hunt down the cows in the field then rip em open and eat there insides like animals, we do it in slaughter houses but so what? Lets stop all the wildlife killing for there food, lets round em all up. NOTHING WRONG WITH EATING MEAT!!!
And I would not be surprised if it was a fact non vegies are healthier than those who eat propor meat (not mcdonalds or burger kind) and those who eat the fake sausages and all that are even more pathetic.
rofl...
Stupid post.

Its not like vegetarians dont like meat.
Thats a bit of a sweeping statement...
And at that age what made you stop eating meat? Your mum is vegetarian, makes me wonder at such a young age if you decided to do the same as your mum mainly because she was your mum.

Probably fluctuations in your body water. However, 5.5 stone is still dangerously underweight - you should see a doctor.
IMO its pathetic to be vegetarian
Yes, yes I did. I can't say for definite that my mum had no influence on my choice but I do know that the decision was mine and I haven't regretted it once since that day. I simply decided that I didn't like the taste of meat, I had a basic understanding of farming practices and didn't like many of the mass production methods employed but it would be untrue to say that factored greatly in my choice at the time. To say otherwise would be ex post facto rationalisation but it was certainly my choice and mine alone.
Ok chief, simmer down a second and point me to where people have said there is something wrong with eating meat? More specifically where I've said that would be helpful as otherwise you're arguing against a point that was never made in the best tradition of straw men arguments.
Your sentence is missing either a negative or includes too many, I'm not sure which because it doesn't make sense as it stands.
I would be surprised if when comparing two people who have healthy and balanced diets if you could highlight which was the vegetarian and which was the omnivore.
Sorry, I didn't mean to come across as an arse in the other thread, I just didn't want them mixing over, thanks for leaving it
Indeed, having any free will is disgusting. Good grief.
ok so if everybody in the world was vegetarian, cows would be slaughtered for people to eat?How is it?
IMO its pathetic to be vegetarian, no matter how many people are vegetarian cows, sheep, chicken etc.. is going to keep been slaughtered.
Its not like vegetarians dont like meat.
My above has truth in it no matter how many vegetarians jump on it.

cows aside, would there be the same amount of pigs, hens, sheep, and other animals that are slaughtered for food if everyone was vegetarian. and not as many cows would be killed if there wasn't a demand for beef. and actually we don't have any leather in our house at allthey would still be slaughter for leather, dairy cows are slaughtered when they stop producing enough milk. Is it ok for that to happen as long as they are not eaten?
Im guessing you dont own anything that was made from a dead animal?
Is it? I'd say having a free will is not discusting, its perfectly normal.
If someone wants to be a vegetarian for whatever odd reason then fine no one is stopping them, but I certainly think its silly to be one and thats MY opinion.
