^^^ and of course Andrea, if you continue to refer to 'beautiful' girls as 'pieces of meat', you might 'haven't the fiancee' for quite a bit longer....Wink

I've been called a vegetable before. Does that count ? LOL
In my teen days, we used to call girls by some of these names - tomatoes, peels (des pelures, think about the comparison between a vegetable & a human).
In both cases, you could say it referred to some, er ... oral activity that we dreamed of, but never quite got to "indulge" in. Wink

^Yeah but we could get all the nutrients from other sources, it's just difficult. And a lot of vegetarians may not do that.
 
I think it's all about moderation, and trying to eat organic/free range and not factory farmed. That stuff tastes like crap anyway.

Not at all difficult. Apparently my iron levels are far below what they should be, and i'm fine. Im fit, and i never get sick. And i have been this way all my life.
I strongly believe that there is nothing unhealthy about not eating meat. And you don't have to eat mountains of spinach either.

Hey Doc!!!  Great to see you back! The place just hasn't been the same without you....now just don't go spoiling things by upsetting any of those hyper-sensitive Canadian academic types.....Wink
 
anyway, YES, I am both vegetarian and Jewish, which means that the average life expectancy of the humble pig is slightly longer round these parts...Big%20smile

Everything above is hilarious.
And I am a carnivore. I love meat.

I recently had blood testing done, and although I have been a vegetarian for 3+ years, I was absolutely 100% perfectly healthy! I'm no food nazi either, I don't persecute those who do what society tells them to. I understand that their minds are weak and that they are selfish.
for those about to prog, we salute you.

I am weak-minded and selfish because I eat meat? 

I had no idea.Confused

So.....you don't eat meat because you're that much of a non conformist?
Seriously, I know prog is all about the non conformity...but that's nuts, if that's indeed what you're saying.
 
Anyway...I had an angus bacon cheeseburger a few hours ago. Delicious.

I think it would be an insult to be a vegetarian in the land of the best meat in the world

We have really good vegetarian and vegan food at the university I attend and I know a few people who eat it because they think it's like being on a diet...but I've worked in the kitchen and I know that the vegan curry is full of coconut milk, which isn't exactly fat free...and, much worse, the "vegan whipped cream" is full of scary synthetic chemicals.  A lot of people make that mistake, thinking vegetarian or vegan means lowfat and healthy, but that's often not the case.

I'm a vegetarian, one of those "I don't like the taste" people, and I just find it more convenient.  Meat is tricky to cook and clean up.  I'm glad I never have to deal with that.  But no, I'm not a man, so I can't join the small vegetarian males' club.

As I see it there are three reasons to be a Vegetarian.
1: The Health Vegetarian, is perhaps admirable, yet misguided as most doctors say that meat is healthy for you. I have a cousin whose doctor flat out told her that if she didn't start eating meat she was asking for trouble. It seems to have solved her health problems.

2: The Moral Vegetarian, is the one I most respect because there isn't really a strong argument that killing animals just because we like the taste is right.

3: The Habitual Vegetarian, only is one because he/she was raised that way, seems to me to warrant the least respect. Try something new, why don't you?

I personally eat as much meat as I can get my hands on.

I have a friend who became a vegitarian just for the hell of it a couple of months ago; he'd never been that much of a meat eater, and he realized he hadn't eaten meat in four days, so he decided to be vegitarian forever.

I'm no vegetarian, but I don't like a lot of meat.  I think Steak is nasty, ham is OK in fried rice, no roast pork, but I enjoy bacon.  Turkey is alright, and burgers and hot dogs every now and then.  Fish is disgusting.  NO DUCKS and of course odd animals or animal parts (although I did mention I enjoy hot dogs...). 

When I get meat I do my best to only get one bad day or cage free, etc kinds because factory farms are horrible things, and the meat you get from them is bad too.  So I stay away from that.

LOL Reminds me of a book I read as a child--I think it was one of the Stevie Diamond mystery series.  There was a vegetarian character who said something like "I feel sorry for the plants, but I have to eat something."
