why would you become a vegetarian anyway i don't see that many redeeming qualitys of it considering you can't eat meat

[ßlöükfáce]

Anyone who is vegetarian is a dork

Meat is NECESSARY to become a man

every time a vegetarian tries to talk to me about why vegetarianism is better than meat-eating, i whip out a stick of beef jerky and go to town on it

it convinces them to eat meat every time :o

1. Technically vegetarians do have demonstrably lower risks for fat/cholesterol related illnesses such as colon cancer or ischemic heart disease. Whether this cumulatively results in a higher life span has yet to be answered, but logic points to it.

2. See #1. Large-scale meta brown townyses of epidemiological data sorted by dietary choices show increases in cardiovascular diseases for people who consume meat regularly. I can cite sources for anyone who really wants to check it out.

3. I don't really have any position on this, but this article needs to cite statistical data pointing to Vitamin B12 deficiencies in a sizable portion of the vegetarian populace. Also

4. I agree with this point.

5. I guess I agree with this point, but I don't see the appeal to adding 'color' to your plate. What's the point of it?

6. Once again, vegetarianism is correlated to a lower risk of ischemic heart disease. As for stroke and diabetes, I haven't read the epidemiological literature about that.

7. Once again, in complete agreement

8. I couldn't give less of a stuff about animal rights, but some of these arguments are fallacious. For one, eating meat is horribly ecologically inefficient. It takes many times more calories to produce a calorie of beef than it does a calorie of some generic vegetable. Apart from being more expensive, raising cattle pollutes the air and contaminates fresh water supplies with fecal matter. This is not to say that producing vegetables isn't ecologically inefficient, because it is. However, meat is much more 'expensive' in ecological terms than, say, corn.

9. Vegetarian food tastes like stuff. There's this place in Phoenix called Pita Jungle and it's the worst excuse for food I've ever tasted in my life. It's so terrible that I had to order 3 different things before I found something I could even choke down. It's garbage.

10. This point seems credible, but I'd have to factcheck whether the vitamins the author listed actually contribute to mental performance and ability.

I'm bored, and I have stuff to do. I'll respond to the remaining 12 points later.

I have the perfect actually against all of this:

Meat tastes better.

Do know how many advantages to hunting buffalo are? First there is a ton of meat, which can be salted and turned into jerky which is good to be stored for the winter seasons while your crops haven't come up yet. There is leather which can be used to make a clothing and huts.

I would also like to point out that not all vegan/vegatarian foods are bad, it just depends where you go of course. I personally like a lot of it, since it consists of primarily natural ingredients. Where I live, there are a bunch of good vegan places, I tend to dislike many vegetarian restaurants/cafes though. Also, my grandmother lived till the age of 102 and she was a vegetarian. She didn't touch a steak for 55 years.

There's a lot of things that a lot of people refer to as vegetables but are actually fruit, including: avocado, cucumber, peppers, squash.
I don't know why tomatoes get all the "fruit of vegetable" attention

I thought that only the avocado was a fruit since it has a pit, the others aren't (from my recollection).

[Måster Blåster]

Cheeseburgers are loving delicious.

[Bacon Pancakes]

I'm the complete opposite of a vegetarian.

STEAK BURGERS SAUSAGES YUUUUUUUMMMMMMM

i don't even want to eat meat at this point
after a while it stops looking appealing at all (or maybe that's just me)

Of course it does. That's what I meant to imply by saying that 'vegetarian food tastes like stuff'.

[Mr.007]

I'm the complete opposite of a vegetarian.

[GodlyFireFight]

I'm the complete opposite of a vegetarian.

I eat a steak on Monday, some chicken on Tuesday, hot dogs on Wednesday, hamburgers on Thursday, bacon on Friday, some pork and Thai peppers on Saturday, and some eggs and pancakes on Sunday. I haven't eaten a carrot in years. Coincidentally, my eyesight is also poor.

[Jaxx]

on the one hand, i have weighed the size of salads i get when i go to buffets, and they're 2+ pounds. on the other, half of that is bacon bits and ham slices, along with hard boiled egg, so it's sort of cheating.

[Alyx Vance]

I'm eating grilled porkchop.
Yummy meat, gotta have it.
