Any Vegetarians on This Board?

Don't misundestand me. I am not saying that eating healthy is bad. I am simply saying that expending effort and resource to crusade for an issue can be a great deal more impacting and helpful if those efforts and resources are aimed at more critical issues.

You will never convince me that saving 1 million chicks from the grinder is a deeper issue than saving a single innocent 5-year-old child from being brutalized and butchered at the hands of a maniac in a case where it could have been avoided simply by educating the parent in security. There are thousands of things that could be addressed because they are more important than animals that, in the grand scheme of things, exist for nothing more than to be eaten by us or some wild animal.

Eating healthy and healthy feeding of family is not even on the same scale of priority as a great many issues that have a more severe and immediate impact on the world. Hell, even the new flu virus running around is more important...but at least that one is being tackled. We can get around to the less immediately critical issues once we take care of the ones higher up on the priority list.

But I think we would have to have a pretty Utopian society before protecting food animals gets to climb anywhere near the top.

We could address world hunger...

Of course, huge corporations and monopolies are in the way...
but it's a start...

I had to sit back and really read the post about this that I just deleted to see if I really wanted to post it. I chose not to.

Kuzeh, I really hope that this post is made in sarcasm. Because if it is not, then you are being contradictory in the extreme toward your hatred of conspiracies, to the point where you are openly perpetuating one.

Wow good post dude!

So, Rory, In My Most Not So Humble Opinion, in order for vegetarians to claim that red meat is unhealthy, they must also be saying that mankind has gotten it all wrong for the last 200,000 years or more and that they are wiser than God or Mother Nature, because some of our organs and digestive systems are unnecessary.

And that, IMO, be some mighty bold words.

Excellent post, Sam!

Great post, Bro!

Cruel,
If you think my posts are all about "saving chicks" then I'm sorry if I was not more clear. I am not for animal rights.

If you think that it's okay to watch our country get more and more obese and suffer from more and more afflictions that can be easily prevented by a natural diet, then that's your prerogative.

It is not mine.

If you think that it's unimportant to prevent disease, cancers and illnesses (including the Flu of the Year) then that also is your prerogative.

It is not mine.

I do believe that your cause for educating parents against predators can go hand-in-hand with mine. I see no reason to choose. I can both support your cause and mine? Well, that I do every time I purchase food...

What a hell do conspiracies have to do with anything here?... ...

It's not sarcasm, I strongly believe that a lot of the resources put towards most of the world's luxury eating habits would do wonders against starvation... it's not the only solution though... that's all I'm saying... huge corporations and governments are in the way of all that too... it's all about money!

Also, how this affects the environment, is a pressing matter...
as well as poverty... a lot of people who don't have enough money to eat, don't get the chance to stay in school... they have to work...
it's all connected!! Hunger, poverty, discrimination...

THis makes a lot of sense to me too....

 

[The Ween]

I just TRY and stay away from hydrogenated fats, white flours, high frutose corn syrup and MSG the best I can.

 

[The Ween]

I try to eat as little meat as possible, mainly because of the way things are done. I dont agree with "manufacturing" animals for the sole purpose of food and the terrible way they are kept so its usually free range once a week. But I wont ever cut meat entirely out of my diet for fears of becoming a giant ?????.

Hmmmmmm......what did you do? Stop eating meat a month before sending me that pic of yourself the other day?

 

[BadMoon]

I drink 10,000 calories of beer a day. I am starving people in Africa because of it. I also caused the premature death of the great Michael Jackson. True Story.
