i became a vegitarian 12 years ago because i watched a man electrocute himself on my neighbors front yard. he lit on fire and blue flames shot out of him. for about four hours all the fire fighters and emergency workers could do was spray him down with a fire extingusher because the power company couldnt turn the grid off. the next day, i went to burgerking and almost threw up becuase it smelled exactly like a guy getting elctrocuted to a burning pile of shit. i dont know if that really counts as "self imposed" .

i am not a vegetarian because i refuse to eat shit like NOT DOGS



if vegetables tasted so good, they would make meat knockoffs of them, like HAMARAGUS. if i want something that tastes like a vegetable, i will eat one. if i want something that tastes like meat, i will eat an animal.

Well, deep open wounds do smell like almonds, but unless he was bald, wouldn't it have been accompanied by burning hair smell?

Which isn't how the Burger King resteraunts out here smell. Maybe they're different in your neck of the woods.

Ok first off PETA = some crazy ass batshit assholes.
DON'T LISTEN TO THEM.

They give vegetarians a really bad rap, and make us all sound like psycho left wing dumbasses.
Personally I do it for health. Also the whole. Perhaps animals are 'less intelligent' then us but they are biologically capable of feeling pain and having emotions and all that shit. Just because something is dumber than you doesn't give you the right to eat it.
If that were the case I would have eaten every baby, nearly ever person in my highschool, and probably a large portion of the global population. OM NOMNOMNOM

If you want want some vegetarian ~*~*~inspiration~*~*~ take safe search off on your google image search and type in 'slaughterhouse'.

So basically, you stopped eating meat because you can't handle the fact that animals have to live and die in terrible ways to make delicious, nutritious food for you.

Which is fine, more power to you.

However, you can take your "Do more research. Read more books," and fuck yourself right up your meathole with it. Just because you've made a lifestyle change that is against the norm, because you feel is enlightened and/or disgusted, does not mean every other person is now a mindless heathen roaming the slaughtering pen, in search of the next burger.

Hathos excluded, of course.

And me. Because I enjoy a good fucking burger.

I became vegetarian 11 years ago because it was cool at the time...Then I was vegan for 5 years in there because it was EXTRA cool....

I started eating dairy again when i moved to NYC above a pizza place (c'mon, totally legit)

I haven't started eating meat yet....I guess I forgot (and I don't live above a steakhouse)

wrt that story about the front lawn electrocution/burger king connection...I remember walking out of my friend's house who lived down the street from a funeral home that had a crematorium one day in January some years back, catching a whiff from the breeze and thinking "huh....smells like hot dogs...that's odd...who in the hell barbecues in January? Oh. Wait. Eww."

that is not why I'm a vegetarian, though. I'm a vegetarian because I hate vegetables, and want to kill them all and eat them.

I'm an unrepentant omnivore, and that's because I enjoy the taste of both meat and vegetables, and have absolutely no moral or ethical concerns with the cultivation, slaughter and processing of either.

so, i know that this hasnt been posted in, in a little bit. However, looking through all the topics, this one caught my interest.

I have been a vegetarian for 3 years, not to long compared to most of you, i know.
PETA are dumb asses. dont listen to them. all thoes video clips are stupid. basically, thats how they did it in the older days. when we had less technology. yes, there are some sick and twisted people that basically will kill an animal in horrible ways before cooking it. but all the big time meat producers dont do that stuff. people get shut down for doing inhumane things. PETA makes it look like everyone ties an animal up beats it, skins it, then kills it. SO NOT TRUE.

oh, so, yeah.. i became a vegetarian because my family is huge on BBQ. and basically fed me meat for every meal every day. and i just got sick of the taste.

Cain: the first vegetarian!
hilarious.
too bad nobody ate biblical animals until post-noah.


"They [peta] also find good looking women to exploit, making them take off most of their clothes for money. This makes them look more attractive than they really are."

that said, fuck peta, prosetylization, false moral systems and further snobbery and division among humans.

vegan, for a lot of reasons. health, earth, morals.
however, i have no issue with people who eat meat, eggs, whatever.

maybe having grown up in the crazy legalism of the family cult i'm just hyper-aware of the foolishness of trying to control everyone else's microdecisions, but...

that shit is wack.

i was vegetarian for a year in college just to see if i could to it. i felt a lot healthier.
then, a few years later, i dated a vegetarian, so i just kind of fell into it again.
a year after that, i was working at this healthfood store/juice bar. it was run by this incredibly awesome old lady named arden zinn. she was 70 years old and a raw foodist. grandma had more energy than i did! so i started taking her advice. totally by coincidence, i realized that i had been eating vegan for like 4 days and i felt off the charts fantastic. so i kept with it. for almost 2 years. but then some stuff happened and i said fuck it, i do what i want.
so i went back and forth for a while, and put a good deal of weight back on.

but i went back to being vegan a year ago, and i feel awesome. my weight is decreasing and my energy levels are up. ultimately, you just do what your body tells you to, and mine is happiest this way.

me.

I can't eat beef or pork cause my system doesn't handle it. I'm missing some intestine.
i don't eat fish anymore because of this

then i just lost my taste for chicken. but i don't rub it in people's faces. It doesn't really matter it's a dietary choice.

Peta is fucking retarded.
My health is fine.
Yeah sure, i'm twenty two years old and look great naked.
Advice, if you have to think about it so much you should probably do it.

vegetarian because the meat and fishing industry are so incredibly fucked up, for how they treat environment and animals prior to slaughter. being veg is also proved to be healthier for your body. also, your shit doesn't smell as bad as if you would eat meat. best reason ever. takatakataka.

I personally became vegetarian for many reasons:
1. Because I was self conscious about my weight and knew that going vegetarian would make things a lot easier.
2. I would play a mind game in my head that would make me feel sick if I ate meat.
3. I am an animal rights activist and can't stand what happens around us.
My family are all meat eaters. It doesn't mean I think less of them it just means I have a different view than them. If you feel wrong eating animals, welcome to the club. If you don't then it's o.k. I know I personally would never judge you on it. And if some one does fuck them they don't even deserve to know you.

Becoming vegetarian is a personal matter and it is some ones choice. Go ahead and bash me if you believe I'm wrong but just know it's not going to matter to me nor is it going to change my views. My family bashes me on it every day but it is still my choice and they can't stop me.

the only way to stop eating all that garbage was to just stop eating meat...and i cut down on dairy too...i feel much better now, even my allergies are under control

I used to be vegetarian for about 3 years. I gave that up because I liked meat too much. The meat industry is still fucked up though but now there are alternatives to that industry that are becoming easier to get. Naturally raised grass-fed beef from a local farmer is quite easy to get for me now. Same with chickens, pigs, and of course all kinds of fresh fruits and veggies from local farms. I have no problem with an animal dying for my nutrition as long as it lived a good life and ate a diet I'm comfortable with.

Vegetarian alternatives are just as much a product of the food industry as factory farmed meat without the animal cruelty that gets tacked onto the meat. There are non-veggie food products that are just as gross and unrecognizable as a food to someone not accustomed to our Western diet; built around a small diversity of grains such as corn and soy which is causing all kinds of health problems.

Meat eaters and vegetarians can both lead unhealthy lifestyles and likewise can eat very healthy when the right choices are made. I'm comfortable with my choices for the most part.
