: : You vegetarians make me sick.
: : What gives you the right to tell us what to eat?: I am a vegetarian (vegan is fact) and I don't think I am in the
: habit of telling anyone what they can or can't eat. I do however
: try at every occasion to inform people about the consequences
: of their dietary and purchasing choices.
: Now compare that with the marketing and advertising by the likes
: of the meat and diary industry. With 16 million pounds spent by
: the British Meat Information organisation in a single year on
: advertising campaigns such as 'meat to life' and 'recipe of love',
: who is telling who what to eat?
: : Don't you understand that man has always eaten meat and that
: : eating meat is essential for good health?
: Two points here; the fact that something has also ways occured
: does not make it true that it is correct or ethical.
: Murder, rape, war etc. are all things which 'man' has always
: done and yet they are not things that we wish to continue and we
: (generaly) try to prevent them from occuring.
: Eating meat is not essential to good health, in fact there is
: an increasing ammount of evidence to show the opposite. East a
: meat centred diet increasing significantly the chance of suffering
: from diseases such as heart disease, cancer of the colon, cancer
: of the prostate, cancer of the bowel etc. You can find out about
: the health issues relating to the consumption of animal products
: on many many web site; I suggest you start with the Vegetarian
: Society pages on health and nutrition.

: : All you veggies will die weak and pale due to lack of protein
: : and iron.
: Yeah right, take a look at the facts before making such claims,
: you will then find that all you flesh-eaters ARE dieing of
: heart disease and cancer.
: : If man stopped eating meat, what would happen to all the animals?
: Like you care.. If and when humans stop exploiting animals, there
: will have been a gradual decline in demand and thus the number of
: animals bred for food etc. would have also been in decline. We are
: NOT going to end up with cows roaming the streets etc.
: : And how would we feed the worlds population?
: We would feed people with plants. Eating plants is a much more
: efficient way of using the land. Compare this: feed grain to
: chickens and then chickens to people or feed the grain direct
: to people. On average, you can feed 10 times the number of
: people if you feed plants direct to people rather than using
: the inefficent conversion of plant to meat by feeding the plants
: to the animals first.
: Again, there is plenty of information on this subject to be
: found on the internet; the best places to look are
: the Vegetarian Pages http://www.veg.org/veg/
: and the ARRS http://www.envirolink.org/arrs/
: : It's about time you lot started living in the real world!
: Vegetarians do live in the real world;
: a world where meat isn't created by the same machines that
: produce the celophane and polystyrene trays that meat is
: often supplied in, but inreality is a part of a once living,
: feeling and suffering animal.
: a world where leather doesn't grow on trees but is the
: skin of a once living creature, a skin which represents upto
: 30% of the carcase 'value' of the animal to the meat industry.
: a world where milk is a unwanted waste product of happy cows
: but is infact the product of a forced pregnancy, intended for
: the calf which is taken away at birth and raised for veal.
: Terry, it is flesh-eaters like you that don't live in the real
: world. You ignore the facts, you use language and packaging
: to hide the true source of the flesh you consume. You even
: employ others to do the killing so that you can enjoy your
: meal without thought to the creature that you digest.
According to a nationwide health board which is neither vegetarian or meat eater vegetarians consume 2.3oz of meat!!!! yup , un huh you guessed it you are still getting some of the nutrients from meat in your system which could be why you are still so healthy!!!!if we fed everyone vegetables we would overuse the land in so much less time... annimals eat plants the whole world eats plants???? i mean what the hell????
