Meat or no meat

[Helvete]

Okay, wtf with all this meat talk. Tell me. Don't be ashamed, I won't give you are hard time for being a hippy freak.

[Fern]

I guess I eat meat.

I rarely do. I have no moral or ethical agenda behind it, I just don't really like the taste of it.

[Funky Pepp]

Steak and Schnitzel!!! Mmmmmh :)

I think there is a higher ratio because overall this is a pretty liberal forum. Beastie Boys - since the 90s have been fairly far left of centre and one of the is vegan (I think? But forget who). So we are influenced by our peers and heroes.

Which leads me to - I became veggie cus of Buddhism which I probably wouldn't of got into if not for the Beastie Boys. So blame it on pop culture.

You're not Buddhist!

I eat some.. or at least I know where the meat comes from.. Chicken, fish.. I buy local and organic when possible or grow my own.. No beef since I traveled in Asia.. Plus you can eat about 50 chickens to 1 cow.. Some blood and vitamins now and again to keep my iron up.. That is more for health reasons..

I draw the line at things like baby seals and marsupials. And no rodents, period.

I like fake meat better than real meat sometimes. but I do like grilled chicken and cheeseburgers and steak burritos and turkey pepperoni, so I can't really be a vegetarian. oh yeah, and bacon is delicious. I tend to stay away from red meat and pork, but I will eat it every once in awhile.

I'm eating a cheese sandwich and plantain chips right now.

[Waus]

I've been crazy about eating the McDonald's grilled chicken snackwraps lately. With no ranch or anything, they actually still fit in my diet.


Meat.


edit: OMG plantain chips sounds so good.

[mickill]

I don't eat pork, veal, goat, or anything too out of the ordinary. Mostly, I limit things to just fish/seafood, chicken breast, turkey breast and lean beef. I don't generally eat processed meats or anything that ends with "jerky".

How do you know? You're half right though. I used to go to the buddhist centre here (http://www.fwbosheffield.org/) all the time but not been for years. I don't know what I believe but it keeps me in check thinking about what I learnt.

[NoFenders]

The only meat I've had that I didn't really care for was Buffalo. I think it was the way it was prepared though. Other than that, I loves me some meat.

[Nuzzolese]

mickill, what about things that end in "wurst"?


When I was a little kid I loved piemento loaf and liked my mom to make my school lunch sandwiches with it, but I was so afraid of my friends finding out that I ate something other than bologne or ham and that therefore I was a freak and a weirdo and then they wouldn't want to be friends with me or invite me to their birthday parties at Gym Factory or even stand next to me on the playground, or even look at me out of fear that a magic empathic rainbow would arc from our eye contact and tell the other kids that we were both losers.

Once, at girlscout camp, someone found out that I had it in my sandwich. I can't recall the circumstances of how the gig was up but someone asked me "what IS that?" and I pretended I had no idea. I was like "hey Im just as shocked as you are here I had nothing to do with this! Moms! Am I right?!" I actually threw my sandwich away in feigned repulsion.

Sandwich! Oh, sandwich! I'm so sorry I denied you! And then I denied you all those years! Forgive me piemento loaf! I repent! Let me into your kingdom of clemency!

[Dorothy Wood]

one time in high school I was ridiculed for bringing orange pepper slices in my lunch. DEAR GOD! WHAT IS THAT?!!!!!!!!!!

uhh...cheetos?

[mickill]

No "wurst" or anything ending in "schnitzel" either. Not a fan of meat pies also.

[Kid Presentable]

I had a meat pie the other night.

"You can taste the horse!" he said; his companion vomiting in her mouth.

[kll]

I'm a meat eater in the sense that I will have fish, pork or beef - but rarely eat chicken or turkey due to the flavor and weird veins and stuff and never eat ground beef due to the flavor and texture and the icky grumpies that can be found in it.

For the most part, I eat vegetarian about 5 days a week.

[NoFenders]

I love liver!

Anything with liver is soooooo fucking good!

All this talk about meat is aming me crazy. I have to wait a day before I can eat any though. Fish never counted as a meat to me. I guess it's just the church having it's way with me again.

[Lyman Zerga]

im a veggie for more than 10 years now and been a vegan for a month

[cosmo105]

vegan for 5 years now.

[mickill]

I consider myself vegan too. Going on 6 years now.

[Yetra Flam]

i have been a vegetarian for pretty much my whole life. i dont eat any red meat, chicken or fish. i have eaten meat before, but only on a few occasions. and the last time was probably a good 10 years ago.

[Helvete]

I seriously enjoy meat so much. Not the biggest pork fan, but nearly all else mainstream. I did very much enjoy buffalo steak I had out in Iraq courtesy of some CIA secret agent type dudes (fuck knows what organisation, but it was not regular US forces).

I couldn't imagine going without meat, I eat so little vegetables that I'd probably starve or get sick of pasta. Just like veggies claim that they are fit and healthy despite their lack of meat, I am fit and healthy regardless of my non vegetable eating.

[Lyman Zerga]

i eat everything but meat, fish, tofu and vegetables

im actually a proteinian


theres a blood type (i forgot which one) that makes you go easily without meat all life and maybe i got that type of blood

if you/your body cant go without meat then you shouldnt try becoming a vegetarian
you would only count down the days to eat meat again and that would make no sense

[Pres Zount]

Marsupials are pretty tasty, and there is nothing wrong with eating them.

[scotty]

I've been vegetarian for about 20 years now. It started because I just cant stomach fish and other water dwelling stuff, and it snowballed from there. Bugger going full vegan, though. I ain't giving up cheese and ice-cream for no-one
