I'm sure if you were in Africa a pack of lions would have second thoughts about eating you.

Not.

Seriously, in my opinion, vegetarianism (or even worse, veganism) is the second most retarded thing, right after feminism.

Feel free to do whatever you want though. Smile Just expressing my opinion.

If you aren't allergic to it, like me: Try quorn, it can be prepared like any meat.

Also I can recommend all varieties of potatoe, you can mix redbeets + potatoes + spices and make nice veggie-beefs.

Tofu is great for a lot of things, so is chickpeas.

I used to be a vegetarian (for about 1,5 years). It's not that hard to mix things up, it's just comforts/habits preventing you from doing it.


Yes, yes I'm back.
Somewhat.

So stick with non-kosher then. Pork can be pretty good. And bacon of course, lots and lots of bacon!

I'd slam you for that, but you get a pass since you're a pole. It's not your fault it's in your genetic code to constantly lust for potato. Very Happy

Have we already discussed the consequences of emotion on human rationality?

Our industrialized way of killing animals keeps the prices low but too much meat is thrown away. We could probably kill much less animals if we were ok with the fact that we would have to pay twice as much for the meat... but that won't happen so...


I had chili con carne today and it tasted good Smile

The food industry makes good use of pretty much every part of animal that can conceivably be used already (just needs a powerful enough blender and you can throw in the bones too for good measure), dunno how you could hone the process to be any more efficient.

I saw chickens and geese beheaded, still running around without their heads, blood squirting everywhere,

rabbits spines broken while they hang by their legs twitching and bleeding through their nose, after which they're skinned completely...

and they all tasted great. Smile

Larger animal slaughters too, but those aren't as gruesome.

My sis is vegetarian.. Has been so for a bunch of years. She is getting rather tired of hearing "so you eat chicken then since you dont eat meat anymore? lol wut"
People actualy thinks vegetarians eats chicken because "thats not meat, its bird".....

Most poeple dont understand that people become vegetarians because they dislike the way the animals are treated.
Personally I dislike the way many animals (especially chicken) is treated, but it tastes so fucking good, so I don't give a fuck.

Someone has to be sacrificed for my need for delicious food.

Warning : Lots of blood and animals in pain. Disturbing.

Anyway, that video is appalling but I need my fucking meat. I guess it's in our nature to eat meat and vegetables, so ... nothing wrong, nature is brutal.

But why can't they knock the poor animals the FUCK out before they kill them ?

kosher slaughter as well as keeping animals under inhuman conditions is indeed criminal, but instead of going veggie, i just vote with my wallet and go for the really good organic stuff since i NEED my fuckin meat. no bad conscience because of animals being treated like shit, it's healthier and most importantly, tastes about 200x better Very Happy

Thats true. But you're not a real vegetarian if you eat chicken and fish.

And it cost a lot more, and not all ppl can afford that.

The mass murdering animals for food sickens me, but it's all politicized, only the money is important...

I could never be a vegetarian. A balanced diet is necessary to maintain a healthy lifestyle imo. And eating just vegetables isn't balanced.

I have a friend who also became vegetarian because of animal mistreatment. But hey it's a choice as any, and we are 'free' so...

i could afford it while i was on a budget of like 10 bucks a day, which is well below minimum wage last time i checked, so that point is kinda moot. if people shopped around and cooked everything themselves instead of resorting to ready-to-eat/microwave shit and generally ate less, a much healthier nutrition is possible, even on a budget.

Zo lastig is het toch niet? Sowieso hutspot en stamppot (en met die laatste kun je heel veel verschillende dingen doen), daarnaast aardappelen met verschillende soorten groente - varieren doe je niet met de groenten, maar met de sauzen. Broccoli in een melksaus of een kerriesaus maakt heel veel uit (zelf heb ik liever een kerriesaus). Er zijn ook wat Aziatische sauzen, namen moet ik even opzoeken. Wink

Aardappelen kun je ook veel mee: bakken, frituren, in de oven gooien.

Verder is het niet lastig om bijvoorbeeld vegetarische pasta gerechten te maken, en zelf vind ik het ook lekker om van alles in de wok te gooien. Wederom weer veel te doen qua sauzen en kruiden. Ik wil je best een keer een PM met wat suggesties sturen, ik probeer genoeg uit.

Zelf ben ik trouwens geen vegetarier hoor, maar ik eet wel op z'n Bourgondisch: veel, en lekker Wink
Pm me anders eens met welke groenten je *niet* lust? Smile

That's cool to hear! I've become a vegetarian for the same reason too. Well "flexitarian" for now. I still like and eat fish a lot. Which is bad considering overfishing. But anything's better for me than supporting the meat industry with their factory farming.

When I saw what was going on with the animals the decision was easy. Recently I also saw the islamic slaughter and I was appalled. Just fucking disgusting and insane. I think the people that work in abattoirs just have to be psychopaths. How the fuck can you cut an animal's head off without feeling bad? Or shoot them through the head. Animal falls in in a large bin underneath, next cow is up, bang in the bin, and so forth. Day in day out. What kind of motherfucker do you have to be to earn your money like that?

I'll just get my protein from vegetables. Like the animals do, like 80% of the world does. Dairy, soy, nuts, legumes, eggs, fish. You eat meat for the TASTE, period. The entire Chinese empire was built on soy ffs.

The fuckers in the meat industry can go fuck themselves in the nostrils.
