NebraskaHarry Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Why anyone would be a vegetarian or vegan is beyond me. Beef, pork, chicken, mmmmmmmmm. Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Why anyone would be a vegetarian or vegan is beyond me. Beef, pork, chicken, mmmmmmmmm. A great way to show you why exactly a person would be Vegan or vegetarian is to watch the documentary Vegucated. You can watch it on Netflix even. Best way to explain it to someone is that documentary I have found. Me personally, I absolutely love steak, chicken etc you name it. However the way in which the livestock we eat is punished and treated isn't humane and honestly makes me cringe. I have also found that when filling myself with plant based and whole grain meals I don't have the same crappy feeling I used to with a big steak. Other things such as the correlation between red meat consumption and cardiovascular disease and cancer were things I would prefer to try to avoid. That is just the tip of the iceberg but a little blip of vegan life :-D Link to comment

The Dude Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 However the way in which the livestock we eat is punished and treated isn't humane and honestly makes me cringe. I've been to several large cattle farms and ranches, and I've never seen anything close to what's depicted in vegan propaganda documentaries. I'm sure those places exist, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn such places are far and away the exception and not the rule. Link to comment

They are being killed because we "want" meat not need meat Link to comment

Fruits, Veggies, whole grains, nuts etc and exercise will beat a burger and fried chicken every time. Our society in general needs to get back to basics. Fruits and more so veggies should outnumber meat in a persons diet by quite a bit. Heck they should outnumber grains as well. Link to comment
The Dude Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Are animals killed there? Sure, from time to time. But are most generally sold to slaughter houses, I imagine. Are they crowded into small spaces? Certainly not. They are being killed because we "want" meat not need meat Sure. Link to comment

Ranches for cattle aren't terrible. Chickens are a different story however Link to comment

The Dude Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'm usually a vegetarian until noon, when I usually have a tuna sandwich for lunch. Then until dinner, when I usually have some beef, chicken, or turkey. I have a rump roast in the crock pot right now! Link to comment
