Vegans, Vegetarians and Meat-eaters

[TheMoog 0]

Just curious really as to what percentage of people fall under which dietary choice.

 

Been watching that 'Kill it, Cook it, Eat it' programme on BBC3 this week and I can't help getting annoyed by the vegan bloke on there who whittles on about how we would all be better off eating like him, how animals have rights not to be someone's food and that it's no different than cannibalism. Then there's a meat-eating bloke on there as well who's equally annoying in that he likes to eat meat but as soon as they show him a bit of raw meat or how the meat gets to his plate he bottles it and runs off like a big girl.

 

Personally it's a non arguement in my mind, people can eat what they want to eat but there's no denying that humans are omnivores, we're designed to eat meat and veg, we're designed as predators with eyes at the front and both incisors and molars in our mouths.

Lifelong Omnivore.

The standard of veggie dishes has improved vastly over the past decade , whilst awareness of the provenance of the meat on your plate has also improved. Both good things IMO.

Whilst I do love a quivering slab of dead beast, the attitude of Gordon Ramsey to vegetarian cooking is just laughable.

How he ever won a Michelin star with such an outdated outlook is beyond me.

( Unless of course it's just an affectation for the cameras from a publicity whore- Shirley not?)

Omnivore.

 

Like most things I don't mind people's choices unless preached - caught something the other day where some Vegan was saying he fed his cat meat as it didn't have his choice and then described it as a carnivore - as you said by the same token we are categorically omnivores not vegetarians.

I feel like I've not eaten properly if I have a dinner without meat.

If it tastes good, eat it. Simple.

this.

 

 

had some Venison steaks yesterday (£1.99 at morrisons). Yummy!!

Animals eat animals that are weaker than them, we eat the animals weaker than us simple as that.

 

I know it's a daft argument but I've told a Veggie mate in the past that domesticated animals are pretty much man made and simply wouldn't exist if we didn't eat them.

Yep, the missus loves chips, beans and eggs.

 

I ask her to do sausages or something with it though.

You can extend that argument to carrots, most spud varieties, brassicas, many fruits etc.

What the point would be I don't know, but add wine and it all makes sense.

Meat eating is what made our brains bigger. FACT.

There's an American Fuckwit Creationist called Ray Comfort who uses the banana as an example of something designed by God as a gift to man as it fits so easily in the hand and is easy to peel and eat - of course it would be that being as its a domesticated man made fruit (strictly a berry according to QI I think but you know what I mean).

I eat meat, but I am equally happy eating quorn too. I dont think I could FULLY be a veggie as I like my bacon sarnies

Read or heard somewhere (might have been AA Gill in the ST so take it with a pinch of salt if you pardon the pun) that cooking food (and meat in particular) was, according to one theory, a real breakthrough in the human development because of the time it saved, because food could be eaten and digested so much more quickly. That meant we had more time to do other things that advanced the species.

If you season and brown quorn properly in the pan it can be really tasty.

I don't get why veggies and vegans would want to eat Quorn or other imitation meat products... nothing against the stuff but surely the whole point of being a veggie or vegan is that you don't want to eat meat and are happy with vegetables instead?

That's like something Al Murray would say in one of his pub landlord sketches.

A pal of mine told me she was a piscetarian.

If we're going for random questions like that then - I don't understand lesbians that try and look like blokes, surely that should deter other lesbians or they might as well fancy blokes?

They want something that walks like a duck, quacks like a duck but isn't a fucking duck. Never understood it either.

[wykikitoon 17041]

What I cant understand is veggies who eat Quorn thats MADE to look like Bacon and stuff
