What's with all the veggie bashing?
I think you're all just jealous of our willpower.

Oh noes! I love the little piggies but I couldn't give up bacon. Yes you could if you put your mind too it. You're all just weak.

I'd much rather bash my meat.

As opposed to militant veggies and vegans, who never mention it?
I couldn't care less what people eat. Just as they shouldn't care less what I eat. I just wish people would leave it at that. You want to be a veggie for ethical or taste grounds? Excellent, all power to you. Don't tell me it's better for the environment, it's rubbish, it isn't. Don't go on about poor fluffy animals, I personally don't care, because they taste nice.

No bashing here.
Eat whatever you like, and don't eat the things that you'd rather not. Simple enough. Live and let live and all that.

The ones I object to are the ones who give me a bad time for NOT being vegetarian. My daughter learned that lesson early on in her vegetarianism, I think- at least she no longer makes snarky comments about my diet.

Preeecisely.....
.....I will stop eating the darling animals of this world when they stop being so damn tasty. You know the evil little fuckers would munch on the lot of us given half the chance.

On a side whinge though, purported meat eaters that cringe and cry when 'Kill it cook it eat it' or some other abbatoir filming TV entertainment comes on make me a little irritable. If you're going to eat it, at least face up to the fact that the animal dies. My girlfriend will eat chicken, turkey, beef that's been enormously overcooked, and old pig nostrils (sausages, I believe they are marketed as - as Sir Terry P tells us, there is nothing a man with a big enough mincer can't put in a sausage). However, no rabbit, deer, veal, horse or lamb etc, because she bases her meat choice on how cute the animal is when it's alive. What a cunt.

I did look into the possibility of (with sufficient pain relief and regenerative treatments) selectively mutilating a small herd of cows to provide endless meat without actually ending their big wobbily bovine lives, but apparently that's more cruel that just caving thair heads in.

Ahhh, I remember, this was just a reply wasn't it. How I go on.

hardly...
If you don't like meat, that's your choice, but the comment "you could if you put your mind to it. You're all just weak" shows exactly why vegetarians get the grief you mention.

If "Meat is murder", then Vegetarianism is the attempted subversion of society by moral manipulation. Think about this: PETA will go to a child and say "Do you like this cute little puppy?" Child will nod, then PETA will scream "WELL STOP EATNIG BURGERS YOU MURDERING FUCK, AS EVERY BURGER IS LIKE SMASHING A PUPPY WITH A BRICK". I believe this is their next marketing campaign, actually (but it's not far from the truth).

There is no rational conversation with a militant veggie and it's the same with animal rights nutters. Look, we don't need to put mascara on beagles (although it makes them look damned sexy), so obviously that testing can stop (in fact, if ugly women stop lying about their appearance and just admit they're not attractive, we can do away with makeup altogether...).

However, if we can treat cancer or cure alzheimers by sacrificing a few lab rats or the odd kitten, then I'd be first in line to stove their head in with a spade.

That's my problem with the militant veggie/animal rights loon - they have no logic to their argument. You can't ever have a rational covnersation about the subject with them - you either agree with them, or you're a murdering-evil-enviro-rapist who probably nonces kids, too.

well, how's this...
my parents are disable, 80% of my workamates are either gay, or from overseas and my wife's best mate is a sri lankan lesbian, so I don't think I'm too outraged by life.

And what I said was, if you'd bothered to read it, that rather than equality (which I believe in) which states everyone is equal and should be judged purely on their actions and interactions with you, that we have a system of positive discrimintation.

If you want an example - look at Queer Eye For the Straight Guy - good TV, right, now reverse it and you'd get protests in the street. Jo Brand can stand on stage and say men are shit all evening long and it's hilarious, yet if you had a fat ugly male comedian badmouthing women, he'd be reviled (hello, Mr Manning).

I'm not saying either is true, or "right" in its thinking, what I say is that either BOTH should be allowed and acceptable, or NEITHER should be - there should be no double standards regardless of race, creed, religion, sexuality, gender or disability. That said, I think a dwarf applying for a job as a basketball player and then suing for discrimination when they are turned down is something that should also be outlawed - there is too much "card-pulling" going on. Now we are in a situation where businesses are scared not to hire a minority candidate for fear of being sued, where the only deciding factor should be ability to fill the role, etc.

Live and let live, say I.

While most of this post

these are the people who, I believe, are trying to persuade people to call baby fish "Sea kittens" to make them seem more cute and killing and eating them more morally reprehensible

I hear resentment.
You're setting yourself up for the bashings you complain about.

People always bash people who do different things than they. Yes, there are idiots who do this with narrow wee minds but there are a few examples on here who do it in a more humouros way if you're looking or point out the silly vegetarians. Such as that lass classifying fish as a vegetable... Oh dear!

For the record, yes I am a veggie. And for the record too, veggies are not wee pasty things! =p The majority of veggie fake meat is whopping full of protien!
( vix0r was not Matthew on, Fri 20 Feb 2009, 16:39, closed)

However...
I would just point out though that not all protein is the same.

Animal protein is easily assimilated by our digestive system, whereas nut protein isn't. Gram for gram, you'll get more from animal protein.

It's the same as milk. Mother's milk is 100% compatible with out bodies, whereas cow milk is only about 90% compatible (I think). Man milk is probably a lot less than that.

Vegetarianism can be a healthy lifestyle, but you need to work hard at choosing your meals to equal a healthy omnivorous diet.

The problem with fundamentalism
Whether it be veganism, freeing Palestine, religious fundamentalism, political fundamentlism, or even just the hypnotoad* is that unfortunately nobody listens to fucking reason. It's a pain in the rusty sherrif's badge when you give somebody a good or relevant argument, they give the response "ah well you would say that because you don't know any better/you've been brainwashed/the government are covering it up." I just ignore them now. And kick them in the clunge.
