I should eat more fruit. I really dont eat enough, I admit it worries me that I might get problems when Im older if I dont eat healthier. I try to limit how much junk food I eat and I dont eat a lot of meat.

I care very much what happens to animals, but really, if it's a widely spread species like cows or sheep, I don't see the harm in eating them. It's not like they're going to die out, after all.

Well, I'm off to bed. Goodnight everyone!

My indifference to animals started when my mom's dog bit up my Mario kart 7 destroying all my data.

@Neosquid; Here's one site with some hunger statistics, since you're interested: http://viva.org.uk/guides/feedtheworld.htm. Vegans being healthier was confirmed by a doctor and expert on the topic who conducted a study of the metabolisms and such of some test subjects.

Why do I bring these things up? Arguing with people about it is draining.

Just take it one step at a time, the next time you want crisps or some chocolate or whatever, have an apple instead. And if you don't want an apple over the chocolate, then you're not hungry, you're eating due to boredom.

I should probably follow my own advice xD

Aye, we may be animals ourselves. But we have been blessed as a species. And, we've been royally screwing up using it by not taking responsibility for our actions. Many species out there are becoming extinct, not because of hunting for food, but because of foolish superstitions, quack medicine and for sport. To that same regard, we really need to stop cooping up our animals with a thousand for a single, small barn.

We're all gonna die someday. Might as well enjoy my life doing things I like, instead of delaying the inevitable.

I see no harm in eating animals myself. We're naturally carnivores right? Plus it's way to hard for me to give up meat. It's way to delicious. I don't mind if it supposedly cuts my life a bit shorter, it's so good.


And edit:Yes. This is Kouzan under a new name.

Who wants to discuss controversial social issues?

We're omnivores not carnivores. Carnivores eat only meat, Omnivores can eat both plants and meat, technically people can live without eating meat.

This thread once again justifies why I never tell anyone I'm a vegetarian unless I feel I have no other option. Yup yup.

I think its perfectly fine to be vegetarian, vegan or not, it's a personal choice based on what they think is right.

It's possible that I'll become vegetarian eventually.

Yeah man we're built to be omnivores. Meat is so tantalizingly delicious, I just don't get how you give it up.

I would bet my life that I would never become vegetarian unless some oppressive government forced me to. Even then I'd eat meat underground.

I see nothing to gain from being one.

Yeah but it always either has some person utterly confused as to why someone would possibly be vegetarian, or that one guy that thinks he needs to bring up the fact that humans are omnivores and that it's unnatural, or that one joker who just sees the perfect opportunity to tell us how much he loves bacon or whatever. The internet generally also adds the "I hate vegetarians because" guy to it, which is the only one I never see in real life.

Personally I think they're all tiresome. And this thread just had all four of them.

Ha, got ninja'd by this. This so perfectly illustrates my point. :p 3/4 in two sentences.

I'm the first one but only with vegans. I've mentioned before how I think unnecessary consumption on animals is wrong, even if they are delicious.

My sixth political sense is tingling. This topic is starting to cause division. I think we should discuss something else.

For the sake of peace.

I think you're a bit late with that now, this post would've been more appropriate two pages ago :p


But topics are easily swayed if you say the right thing. Like Klinklang.
