  1. This is stig!!! says:

    :) ))))

    • Dentadura says:

      Great Success!!!

      • tickson says:

        I’ve heard the screams of the vegetables…
        Whatching their skins being peeled…
        Grated and Steamed with no mercy…
        How do you think that feels? (Bet it hurts really bad)

        • Boomness says:

          Plus WIN for tickson quoting obscure bands from Kingston Ont.!

        • Filanderer says:

          Do i sense someone singing a song by one of my favorite bands?

          it seems i do

        • jamie says:

          that’s not even funny. animals have nervous systems, are cognizant and sentient. go watch meetyourmeat or something. grow some heart.

          • Danymullllllll says:

            yes, i know, BUT they also taste good. grow some sack.

            • Anonymous says:

              I’d rather eat vegetables all day. I don’t really care about if veggies or animals feel pain or not, I just don’t want to eat veins and testicles etc…digestive tracts…

              • Moo says:

                That’s why you eat the other parts. Eat the animals before they eat you. Veggies have a long way to go till they fight back.

                • Co says:

                  So, you feel… empowered because you eat meat, and yet you confess to fearing being eaten by a chicken? Dude, next time let your brain do the talking before your testosterone.

                  • John says:

                    I fear being eaten by chickens. What if the bird flu turns into some advanced form of rabies that makes them go crazy that would be something to fear. BTW I love veggies in my crock pot they give the testicles and tripe a great added flavor.

                    • cyrell says:

                      You also realise that svine flu, mad cow disease and all the other crap is a danger because of factory farming where you get your animal based foods from?

                      Cows got mad because they had been feed animal corpses…and this practise is still done because the waste from the slaughterhouse is cheap fattening food

                      The cramped and unhealthy conditions are a real feast for all kind of diseases.

                      Thousand of animals in one space, up on the truck with them, to the slaughter house.

                      The animals and workers get in contact with contaminated body fluids, the de-feathering baths are cleaned after work when thousand of chickens, ducks, goose and other birds have been dragged through the same water and are literaly bathed in each other germs..one big reprocration pool for germs

                      Than the water is flushed down the drain..no sterilisation.

                      Not to forget that all the shit and piss from the stables where the animals are from is pumped on the fields.

                      Bacterias and especially virus are pretty tough and survive when they are washed by the rain through the ground into the rivers and into the ground water.

                      In the slaughterhouse the bloody floor and tolls are cleaned with the hoose and the water with the blood goes down the drain too.

                      Also the WHO(World health organisation) warns that handling raw meat can get you svine flu and other diseases, even cooking is not 100% save.

                      There have been a couple of cases where slaughterhouse workers got svine flu or mad cow disease.

                      Farm factorys are just big petri dishes where diseases are breed and made resistent against antibiotics.

                      So when you buy the cheap stuff from the farm factorys you are endagering yourself.

                      It is highly illogical if you want to prevent that the bird/svine flu turns into something dangerous through eating the animals.

                      Eating meat is exactly what will get you ill in this case.

                      Also medical history proves that diseases have been spread through unsanitary circumstances which are given through factory farms.

                      The illnesses which cause the highest death rate are not cancer or heart attacks…or flu.

                      The maladies which kill the most people are food/hygiene induced

            • Erfan says:

              You, sir, are amazing.

            • cyrell says:

              You know….human meat in a nice spicy wine flavoured sauce taste just like pork?

              Cannibals call human meat *long legged pig* meat…and in all the cases where people killed other humans and sold their meat as pig meat nobody could tell the difference.

              So why not take the starving people from the third world and fatten them up and eat them? That would solve the problem of the third world and over population.

              The facts are, humans are made of meat…meat tastes good also why not eat people instead wasting them by burying them?

              If you should not eat them god should have made them out of meat.

              Old people are tough but you still can ground them and make great sausages from them.

              • Andrew says:

                only problem with this is that by the time most humans die, they are old, so it would be a low quality meat

              • randman83 says:

                I’ve never been a fan of dark meat, so my question is this; is it racist for me to not want to eat a black person, because I don’t think I could handle being a cannibal AND a racist. Those are decisions best left up to the suits in Washington.

              • He-Man says:

                well eating people and animals are two different things… its a part of the food chain.. watch a tv show animals eat other animals to survive.. we happen to be omnivores so quit spittin ur mumbo jumbo we were supposed to eat meat and vegetables to stay healthy… eating other humans is just wrong… most animals dont even do that.. its nature

              • Chria says:

                dude way to copy jonathan swift

          • You know, the sentiency bit COULD be argued… I don’t see animals having cars and trains and computers.

            • zitromd says:

              Being sentient has nothing to do with having cars and trains and computers. You don’t have to be intelligent to have the ability to feel.

              “The question is not, can they reason? Nor, can they talk? But, can they FEEL?” – Isaac Bashevis Singer

              What about babies or the elderly with dementia? Should we just kill them too?

              • nemo says:

                Soilent green is people!!!

              • GEAR says:

                You whiny hippie, who cares if they feel, they taste better than they feel, and yes we should put down unwanted babies and people with dementia what good are they to society anyway? Survival of the fittest, kill them all and let god sort them out.

                • ... says:

                  Wow… I never did get why people seem outrageously critical of thinking and caring about ideals on the internet. Anonymity doesn’t seem to account for all of it. It’s like any excuse to not care about anything but pleasure is used. I’m not vegan, but really…

                  • CZ3RO says:

                    Welcome to the internet. Most of the “insensitive” and “uncaring” things that are said (especially in a forum like this one) are done so merely to inflame and outrage folks who haven’t figured out that their pouty replies are the reason such comments are made in the first place. Most folks (not all obviously) don’t even stand behind what they say, they just do it to get a rise out of people. And it works every time! Weeee!

                    Relax, it’s just the internet. :]

                • sigh says:

                  My grandfather didn’t die to stop fascist eugenics so that people like you could bring them up again. Go to hell, you compassionateness twat.

                • Co says:

                  You idiotic conformist pig, I care if they feel pain. Perhaps they do taste good, but honestly? Is life ALL about self-gratification to you? The point of humanity is for it to support itself. The massive amounts of land wasted upon raising and feeding cattle could, if converted to farmland, feed the ENTIRE WORLD POPULATION three square meals a day. Selfish brat.

                  • Jimbo says:

                    The pain argument is no argument at all. Slaughterhouses cows and pigs quickly. Chickens are so stupid they drown in the rain. Either way, they aren’t self-aware animals, and thus have no rights. Your sympathy is wasted on them.
                    The environmental argument, by contrast, provides a good reason not to eat meat. Cows produce WAY more shit (literal feces) than we need to fertilize farmland. All the excess is dumped into giant pools of methane, producing greenhouse gasses far more potent than CO2.

                    • Reality says:

                      Please don’t sidetrack this thread with your chicken little bullshit claims that the sky is falling because we’re raising cows. How many intelligent people must point out to the sheep that Al Gore is a hypocrite, and a liar? Man made global warming is a farce, which is why they renamed it “climate change”. Even before all this, they claimed there was a hole in the ozone layer, caused by CFC’s (chlorofluorocarbons) in hairspray, that was allowing all of our greenhouse gasses to escape into space which would cause a premature ice age. CFC’s are denser than typical atmospheric gasses, so I’m a little fuzzy on the physics required for them to travel up to the ozone layer, and begin depleting it…

                      • The Ref says:

                        WIN

                      • L4nc3r says:

                        dude they changed it to climate change cuz ppl like u were so stupid thinkning OOOO the whole world is gonna get warmer?????? not dumbshits its just they named it a bit wrong CERTAIN parts of the world will get warmer sure, but overall its CLIMATE change around the world, and of course its caused by man science has pretty much proven it dumb shit

                        • Spennie says:

                          Hmmm, was it man science that created and ended the Ice Age? Oh, no, that’s right, it wasn’t. It was a natural occurrence. Much like this one now. Suck it.

                      • blitzkrieg says:

                        the reason for climate change is man. the end of the ice age was caused by the end of a cold phase of the earth. earth has phases ( hot mild cold). the problem now is that we are making a mild phase into a hot one and if wedont do anything, when the next hot phase comes in a few hundred ythousand years. we’re all gonna cook.

                        • He-Man says:

                          so tell me how many of us care.. the way technology is growing im sure a hundred thousand years from now they will find a way to stay cool… we arent living a hundred thousand years to find out

                    • cyrell says:

                      I really would like to know where you heard this absolute nonsense about chickens drowning in the rain?

                      And why should they be not self aware?

                      And the thing with the cows and pigs that are slaughtered fast is also not true…they are slaughtered quickly but that does not mean they die fast.

                      Cows and pigs need 3 minutes to die of blood loss and often the cattle gun is not used right and the cows are not unconscious.
                      The cattle gun does not kill the animals…to kill them you have to cut their throut and let them bleed to death.

                      In the slaughterhouse you have only 1 minutes per animal from stunning to cut their throat and then the cutting starts.

                      You have to work fast and the cows are still alive when the hooves, ears are cut of and they are skinned.

                      You have no time to proper stun them because ..there comes the next cow..you do not have 3 minutes to let them hang and bleed to death..you have to start cutting ans skinning.

                      Also because the animals hang upside down they stay longer concussios because of gravity.

                      The blood flows down into the head.

                      Think..in first aid you learn when someone feels dizzy let them lay down and put the feet on a chair so the blood flows to the brain easier.

                      Same with the animals in the slaughter house..also the stress from the transfer and the excreted adrenalin keeps the animals alert

                      • Jerry says:

                        You had me at “slaughtered.”

                      • Smarter than YOU says:

                        Turkeys drown in the rain.

                        Humans evolved as OMNIVORES. We eat meat as well as plants. Deal with it or whine about it to God or Charles Darwin, or even your imaginary girlfriend if she likes you enough to care.

                        It’s the natural order of things that we eat meat. If humans evolved as herbivores and only ate vegetables like all you crazy vegans out there, why do we have a full set of teeth? Why do we have canines? Why don’t we have teeth missing like a cow or a sheep?

                        You don’t neccessarily have to eat farm factoried meat. Get some money from your dead-end job and buy some free-range food.

                        OH NOES!!11!eleven! A tiger just killed a deer and ate it! It’s not a vegetarion! We’ll have to kill it!
                        It’s the natural way of life to hunt prey. If plants are so great how come all the carnivores like crocodiles and lions don’t eat plants, hmm?

                  • Ashram says:

                    Some dimwit by the name of “Co” just said this:
                    “You idiotic conformist pig”

                    You are a hypocrite. I am about to PWN you. Read on to see how.

                    “Is life all about self-gratification to you?”

                    If you are doing things for yourself, and yourself only, you are hardly conforming to anyone else’s expectations.

                    Sure, doing things for your own self-gratification is selfish.

                    However, even charity is a form of self-gratification; you give of yourself because YOU feel it’s the right thing to do. It makes YOU feel good about what YOU did for others.

                    Selfishness is inherent in humanity no matter what you do, even in selfless actions. If you’re not selfish in one way or another, philosophically speaking, you’re an “unperson,” to use a “newspeak” term.

                    “The point of humanity is for it to support itself.”

                    And the way to do that would be for humanity to come together for its own greater good?

                    There’s a word for that: conformity!

                    You are proposing people to be conformist in order to act in “harmony” for the greater good.

                    The BIG FAIL moment here is that, despite you decrying your opponent by accusing him og being a “conformist pig,” you are promoting conformity AND YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW YOU’RE DOING IT!

                    So there, you have just been PWNED. Intelligence is such a wonderful thing, especially when it’s being used to effectively discredit a short-sighted argument, such as yours.

                    If you wanted to argue against “GEAR” and look intelligent in the process, maybe you should’ve thought about what was really egregious in his post, such as killing “unwanted babies.”

                    Hope this was enlightening. Thanks for reading! :-)

                  • We have canine teeth for a reason, silly loony liberal. If you want to be vegan, knock yourself out. But don’t try to convert, preach, indoctrinate, or belittle those of us who love eating meat. Oh, know a good reason for molotov cocktails? Because hippies can’t set themselves on fire. [buttons pushed] (that should get you going on another tirade!)

                    • cyrell says:

                      Canine teeth have nothing to do with being a meat eater or not.

                      Omnivore animals have carnassials…that are not the front spiky teeth, the carnassials which show if an animal is a meat eater are the teeth on the side of the jawbone.

                      Even horses have canine teeths, not to forget gorillas, pandas, the musk deer…

                      I never saw a musk deer eat meat…the canine teeth have nothing to do with eating meat or not eating meat.

                      Also the enzymatci system and the secretion of chloric acid in the stomach is a much better indicator if a species is built to eat meat or not

                • Kieran says:

                  Dude. Like my meat think it is silly to be a veg head but dead god! We first of all need babies to survive and secondly altruism is a big part of human society. If you really think that people should be completely self sufficient all the time go into the backwoods of Montana and never visit a town, never listen to a radio, never go to a doctor again.

                • Ari says:

                  Ha. I bet YOU taste better than you feel, since you most likely have a big snout and a little curly tail. Shut up and stop trying to play God; don’t attempt to throw death out wherever you think it’s right. I’m not religious or anything but it pisses me off when people think they have a right to pass judgement on who should live. PIG.

                • goamind says:

                  You are sooooooo unhappy gear that you’ll be unhappy for the rest of your so called life. If your life is so troubled you just cant have consideration for other beings. If your life is fulfilled you can have extra love to give to others too. So this versus like all others in the world are all based on how happy you are and how fulfilled your life is. People like you will never be convinced to love animals because you just cant understand and its not your fault directly. I wont accuse anyone like you as long as you dont feel that compassion and love. Those high feeling rise when you are in the proper point with your life not when animal lovers give you reasons.
                  So peace be with us all.

              • Anonymous says:

                they lost the food chain war, they get eaten. Its life.

                • cjay says:

                  I love how generaly the vegan crowd are usually evolutionists, yet they ignore the fact that we are omnivores. Dental structure proves it, move on.

                  If you are religious then few religions frown the consumption of meat. If not, why do you care if the animal feels? If there is no ultimate moral authority, what then do you base an argument that eatting bunnies or chickens or any other creature is bad?

                  • cyrell says:

                    Canine teeth have nothing to do with being a meat eater or not.

                    At least..if there is not ultimate authority, what then do you base an argument that eating humans is bad?

                    Or that killing people, raping womans and other stuff that is called a crime is wrong when there is no ultimate authority?

              • anonymous says:

                of course animals “feel”. The difference in intelligence between us and animals is one of degree not one of kind. The question is not can they feel, but does it matter. Having feelings does not make something immune to predation. I, sir, am a carnivorous primate and proud of it and therefore feel no reason not to consume the tasty tasty flesh of other creatures.

                • notme says:

                  And unlike our fellow omnivores, the chimpanzees, the meat you it is probably dead before you start.

                • ??? says:

                  but sir, being so much more intelligent than the lower animals should give you the higher brain power to know that we’re more developed and have higher reasoning abilities. Are you saying that you’re as dumb as the animals that you eat and only know to stuff your face?

                • Co says:

                  Ah yes. No reason? If Einstein decided that human meat was, as you say, “tasty tasty”, would that give him a right to consume it?

                  • tyler says:

                    yes…… meat ftw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                  • PD says:

                    No, but that’s because the human mind is programmed to dislike cannibalism. That’s not saying that there are no exceptions, such as certain psychos, but in most cases, no one would eat human meat.

                • cyrell says:

                  You are not a carnivorous primat….primates are omnivorous and chimpanzees eat only 5% animal based food where humans eat 20%, often 30% animal based food and that is why people have so much health problems.

                  They eat just too much animal based stuff than what would be natural for our species.

                  If you would be carnivorous you would have teeth like a dog or cat..carnassials..the teeth on the side of the jawbone.

                  Also you would produce 10 times more hydrochloric acid in your stomach than humans normally produce.

                  Not to forget that the enzymes that destruct uric acid and get it out of the body would be several times higher.

                  Because that is not the case, and the enzymatic systeme is a better indicator about nutritional needs, humans are omnivorous apes which should not eat more than 10% animal based food…preferable small animals like birds, small mammaels from mouse to dwarf deer, juvenile individuals of your own species, insects and eggs.

              • PD says:

                Technically, Singer was wrong. They’ve got to be able to REASON. Not even the most advanced primate can do that, other than us. We were made by God to rule over the other life-forms on Earth. And killing a baby harms our future and killing elderly with dementia serves no practical purpose. But killing animals for food helps our future and serves a practical purpose, by keeping us in good health. Also, the human body is supposed to eat meat, which is why vegans have poor health. Healthy food is not good for you if that is all you eat. Our definition of healthy food is nutrient-scarce food, and if you don’t obtain nutrients, you die. You cannot obtain enough nutrients by eating only vegetables.

                • Robin says:

                  @PD, you may (or not) be made by god but I AM NOT. Please refrain yourself from using the words “we” and “god” in the same sentence in the future!

                I agree with you completely. We still have to eat something though and to be honest I would rather see a pretty field of green corn than a dirty pig farm. So I am doing my best to get rid of those nasty pigs by having a nice pork rib BBQ this weekend.

                Once upon a time the romans though that lead pipes were a great idea. For all we know we are the romans and vegetables can and do feel pain.

          • =8)-DX says:

            Yes, it is very funny.. Animals in nature eat each other too, nothing wrong with it. Survival of the fittest. If you don’t get that I think you need to go to a support group, and feel bad about your own digestive system. Oh and go starve a tiger or two.

            Note: Correctly speaking it should say “omnivore”.. that’s what we are.. Carnivore is more funny tho

            • Seriously says:

              ‘Carnivore’ isn’t a mistake. It is the whole purpose of the poster. That’s why there’s a dinosaur on it and not a person. Most omnivores are definitely not awesome.

          • luke says:

            So plants are punished because they are evolved differently to not need nervous systems/brains? What if you tranquilize the animal first? Then it can’t think/feel. Just eat it

            • trollantyu says:

              Or we could kill them before we eat them, so they don’t feel!

              • Snake Ovyns says:

                Why not just intoxicate them heavily enough, so they have no idea what’s going on, flash-freeze them, so they feel no pain in death, and then feast upon them?

                Wait…

                • Co says:

                  Excuse me sir, why are we waiting? Oh well! While we wait, let me edify you upon the COMPLETELY random subject of animal slaughter…
                  Factory farmed chickens are housed in tiny cages not large enough for ONE bird, let alone the large number that are stuffed into them. In order to keep them from killing themselves under the stress, their sensitive beaks are clipped off, NO ANESTHETIC. They are injected with so much homonesthat when they do manage to stand, their legs break under their own weight. The cages are stacked in such a way that the feces from the birds highest up fall upon the birds below. When it is time for slaughter, they are hung by their feet upside down on a conveyor system, then have their necks “wrung”. It doesn’t work. ! out of 10 Chickens are still alive as they go on to the next stage, being boiled alive to get the feathers off. The birds that are deemed to have too many imperfections in the flesh are thrown into a meat grinder, and the ground chicken mixed with chicken feces is fed to the birds unlucky enough to yet be living. And this is only the plight of chickens, cows and pigs have it MUCH worse.

                  • Malfeasant says:

                    Have you hung out much with cows and chickens? After spending only a few hours with them, I have no qualms about torturing such brainless creatures. Pigs I feel a little bad about, but bacon is goooood…

                    Hey you. You with the face. Co. Because you have an opinion on something that has been debated for 40 years that you believe is correct, i should listen to you right? Or is it because you copied and pasted (or god forbid memorized) a section from some anti-meat propaganda website and/or wikipedia on factory farming. We are animals. In nature, animals eat other animals. Is it wrong for us to act the same? You say no, but for thousands of years, people have said yes. Has it been proven that animals have not developed the cognitive thinking skills required to decide for themselves if they want to be eaten by us? no. Can it be proven that animals only have the most basic thinking skills, and the need to eat, drink, and sleep? yes. Can animals do anything about us killing them to eat them? No. Will they ever? No. Is standing up for animals when they cannot stand up for themselves wrong? No, its not. But shoving anti-meat propaganda into the faces of regular people who eat it every day because it is a vital source of protein that cannot be properly replicated in any pill or in any vegetable is wrong. Meat is on the food pyramid for a reason, as it is a vital source of nutrients you need for everyday life. If a study was conducted to see if people who ate meat were more healthy than vegetarians or vegans, logically a person who ate meat would be more healthy than a person who had cut meat completely out of their diet. If we did not factory farm chickens, cows, and pigs and let them go out into the wild, how long do you think they would last? No, it has not been proven that animals have no emotion. But science is a wonderful thing. You are a funny man sir. i salute you. Bacon is delicious, Steak is the tuxedo of meat, and Chicken cannot be beat by any vegetable counterpart. I feel sorry for you. Please learn to think for yourself.

                    • Robin says:

                      You forget horses, their meat is sooo delicious, it´s also low-fat and high on iron. Another good thing about eating horse meat is that unlike pigs and chickens they had a good life before you eat them (horses are too expensive to be breed solely for the meat so the meat is only a by-product after the useful life of the horse)

          • joe says:

          • BlueFlameBat says:

            It’s best not to even try reasoning with these idiots, jamie. Most of them treat their significant others like crap. Do you really expect them to sympathize with animals who aren’t even their own species? To the so-called macho people, we’ll always be considered wimps despite having higher intelligence and a much deeper understanding of the balance of nature.

            • Ignition says:

              So BlueFlameBat, vegans are smarter? I’ve eaten meat my entire life, and I currently am pulling a 5.0 GPA, tied for first in my class, in one of the top 200 high schools in the United States of America. I have been dating a beautiful girl for three years now, and I have treated her with more respect and kindness than anyone else on this planet. You are discriminating, and stereotyping against an entire group of people, with anonymity as your shield. I would appreciate if you would think before posting in the future.

              • BlueFlameBat says:

                I’m not talking about people who eat meat. I’m referring to the so-called macho people who continually insult vegans, vegetarians, and animal lovers in general.
                I know eating meat doesn’t make you stupid. Continuing your elementary-school-level jabs and bigoted remarks, however, make you seem stupid.

            • SpeeD says:

              Ah yes, the balance of nature. Because it’s never been the way of the ecosystem and the food chain for animals to eat other animals.

              Study ecology and biosystems for an hour and maybe you’ll figure out that humans are also a part of the food chain, a part of nature, and other animals depend on us to cull the population through consumption. Overpopulation of a species leads to disease and food shortages.

              Survival of the fittest, my friend – and we are the fittest, through our increased mammallian intelligence. People like you make me question it.

              But by all means lets all stop eating meat because your version of the “balance of nature” involves warm fuzzies with your wide eyed, Disney animal friends. The rest of us are all idiots.

              • zitromd says:

                Survival of the fittest. You probably mean survival of the fattest. Humans may help control population- but what about human overpopulation? You don’t see other species culling us for ruining the environment. We act like we’re the only damn species on earth.

                “Overpopulation of a species leads to disease and food shortages.” Uhhh, what the hell is Africa? Third world countries? HIV/AIDs epidemics?!

              • Co says:

                “Overpopulation?” Moron. If we didn’t BREED them, they. would. not. exist. And, sweetheart? Being a part of the food chain means just that. If we truly felt that way would give our bodies back to the earth when we die, instead of locking them up in a concrete box. Vegans KNOW that the world isn’t all pink and fluffy, that is why we react so strongly when you try to convince us that everything is “just fine.”

                • Anony says:

                  If we don’t breed them, they wouldn’t exist eh?

                  If they did not exist, millions of people would die.
                  Millions of jobs would be lost.
                  What are farmers going to do when they are told they can no longer have livestock for food?

                  If you think saving the lives of animals that are not of our species is more important than saving the lives of the billions of humans who eat meat as a main source of food then you sir, fail.

            • Snow says:

              Why do you have to call “macho” people stupid? What are you doing right now “professor” ? I dont care what you eat, but if vegans and other PETA types want to tell me what to eat they can go to hell. Thats my problume with them.

              • Co says:

                Oh, we dont care WHAT the hell you want to ruin your life by doing, but lets just not try and undermine the efforts of thousands of people to save life, ok? If YOU die, that is your choice, if only every living thing could be so lucky.

                • Kieran says:

                  It is not in your place to decide how others live their lives. You are also of the same caliber of people who go to gay rights rallies and complain about discrimination and how other people need to let gay people live their lives how they want.
                  I AM HAPPY EATING MEAT IT IS MY LIFE CHOICE TO EAT IT. IF YOU DON’T WANT TO FINE, MORE FOR ME.

                Are you kidding me? The only reason I have EVER been even remotely ashamed of being an American is because this moron in the White House lacked the testicular fortitude to bitch-slap Ayatollah Khomeini and his puppet Akmadinishad back into the 16th century for suppressing and KILLING those protesters! That, sir, is the ONLY time any of us should have been ashamed to be an American. You liberal idiots out there trying to convince us that it’s shameful to be Patriotic, can move to another country. Seriously. You have that right. We won’t ever take it away from you, but YOU and your party will try very diligently to take it away from us!

                How dare you try to diminish the sacrifices made by our fore-fathers! What sacrifice have YOU ever made? What have YOU ever given even an ounce of your time to, other than trying to make those of us that are proud, and GRATEFUL for what we have feel ashamed of being so blessed? My grandfather fought in WWII, and I fought in OIF, all so that your pathetic, ungrateful, wormy little ass could have the right to say what you’ve just said, and feel safe saying it. Well, I’m glad you’re exercising your rights, guaranteed to you by the very people you so despise.

            • Hello says:

              The anti vegan movement is in response to the small portion of the vegan/vegetarian population who feel the need to try to “inform” us that our completely natural eating habits are somehow “immoral”. As with all things, the small and violently outspoken minority have ruined it for all vegans.

            well if we didn’t meat then there’d be no value on the meat except as a lawn mower. so then we’d stop killing wolves and such to protect our livestock and then the wolves would attack our livestock and eat it and become numerous in number and then they might start attacking humans and eating us. so really, no matter what, it’s an eat or be eaten kind of world.

          • PD says:

            Let’s put it this way. If we weren’t meant to eat meat, then the nutrients would taste bad. And they are not sentient, that means intelligent like humans, which they are NOT. Grow a spine and eat a steak.

            • PD says:

              And I understand they feel pain, but the food chain means that you eat healthy nutrients. And maybe they do keep them in inhumane treatment, but is that my concern? No. I’m going to eat the healthy and natural steak I love. Because it’s the way the world works, and nothing you vegetarians can do will ever change that.

            We’re omnivores, not herbivores.

            • Sharing says:

              These semantics are debatable. Besides that humans can not digest most animal tissue until it has been burned into a carcinogenic mess that any herbivore could eat, it is a poor justification to eat cooked animal flesh just because we can. While we (and many of the animals we call herbivores) may be considered omnivores by the definition that includes cooked animals, humans will generally live healthier lives on a well planned herbivorous diet.

              • Omnivus says:

                You really buy into that crap, don’t you? Herbivores have eyes on the sides of their heads to see as much peripherally as possible at all times to avoid predators. Omnivores, and carnivores have eyes on the front of their heads for stalking their prey. It’s really not all that hard to stalk broccoli, it just kind of sits there oblivious to it’s pending doom; so one could surmise that our eyes are not on the sides of our heads because we’re supposed to hunt broccoli, or fear being hunt by broccoli (it really does suck at hunting).

                Humans have difficulty digesting uncooked meat because our digestive systems have only been subjected, since we were toddlers, to cooked meat. Raise your children only eating raw meat; they’ll digest it fine. And eventually, so will you. Unless you have a digestive disorder. Obviously, there are exceptions to all rules.

                So, go ahead and eat your vegetables, enjoy eating your vegetables. I take no issue with that. But don’t come on websites, and troll around with stupid comments trying to foster your beliefs, and press them upon others who don’t want to think like you. Reality isn’t just for us omnivores, ya know.

                          Here in Oklahoma, PETA people sometimes cut the locks on farm gates to “Liberate” valuable horses and cattle.

                          Just for the record I do not advise people to eat animals alive, but I do not condemn people if they want to do that.

                          It seems that common scenes dies together with the sense of humor.
                          What bothers me is that there are people who value animals above the live of humans. People who would advocate and march and donate to save a kitty or a puppy and ignore the sufferings of children and people both in united states and across the world.

                          Sorry for the rant.

                          The fact is that humans are animals. (Believe it or not!) I value non-human animals more because there are less people to speak up for them. You should know yourself, since you are a speciest.

                      • Emma says:

                        I’m not saying people shouldn’t stand for anything. But I am saying that a lot of the stuff PETA puts out there is heavily biased, and therefore it’s unwise to trust it without doing your research. PETA puts out a lot of sensational media that isn’t necessarily the entire story. For instance, in a “Top Ten Reasons Why You Should be Vegetarian” video, one of the reasons was “Because eating meat makes you fat”. No, eating meat does not make you fat. Eating in excess, whether it be meat or anything else, living a sedentary lifestyle, or even genetic makeup can contribute to being fat. Is an organization that puts out something that obviously stupid an organization you would want to trust without doing your homework first?

                      • Lucious says:

                        PETA has been exposed over and over again as fabricating their statistics, “evidence”, and even pictures. (Incidentally so has Sierra Club).

                        Anybody who has to “lie for the sake of the truth” cannot be trusted or respected.

                          Agreed. I am vegan, and dislike PETA with a passion. It is they who give peace loving vegans a bad name, by engaging in unnecessary violence and shock tactics. I tell my boyfriend I’m vegan, he smiles pervertedly and asks If I like to go naked in public places like “those peta chicks.” Needless to say, He and I are no longer together.

                      Gosh, you would think if we evolved and got over it our asses wouldn’t grow murderous tumors from eating it…I guess one of us isn’t familiar with how evolution works. See, here I thought animals evolved to ensure the *survival* of the species, not its *demise.*

                        Actually, it’s largely the cooking of the meat that creates the carcinogens. If we went back to our primal ways of digging our teeth into live, bloody, uncooked animals this wouldn’t be an issue.

                        FTA “high temperatures can create higher levels of cancer-causing substances in the meat.”

                      • Bo says:

                        the American Cancer Society has warned that just about everything causes cancer. And eating meat doesn’t automatically cause cancer. If we stopped doing everything that may cause cancer in some way, we should all just stop living.

                        Whats even more hilarious, is that you treat cancer as if its something new that currently is afflicting the masses. Cancer has been around since man walked upright, nice try though, fearmongering seems to be the only tactic you paranoid vegans try to implement to “scare” people into vegetarianism.

                        I can list of many things that can give you cancer……..Asbestos, cigarettes, pesticides, heavy metals and particulates, vapors, exposure to certain chemicals, breathing, genetics, sun tanning, gamma radiation, living under power lines, living next to industrial waste, drinking contaminated water, etc, etc, etc.

                        Heres an idea, try exploring a more thought out process before attempting to sound like a complete douchenozzle.

                • Quantum Kid says:

                  All humans are biologically omnivores, in that humans are designed to be capable of consuming and digesting both animal and plant matter. It’s just a question of whether or not people choose to eat meat or other animal products.

                  • Nutrition-nerd says:

                    No humans are not biologically omnivores.
                    We are not biologically designed to kill or digest meat (do a little research and you’ll find out why.)

                    Biologically we fit into a sub-group of herbivores called frugivores. (it sounds fake but its not…) Its the same classification as monkeys and other primates. (no monkies aren’t really omnivores either. The monkey who is most like us, the chimp’s, diet consists of less than 5% meat. And even that is made up of mostly insects.)

                    Eating meat is a choice of tradition, but its not exactly biological.
                    Just thought I would put that out there…

                      The chimp is an Omnivore hun, you are confused with the Bonobo who is mostly dependant on a Frugivore diet. Chimps actively hunt and kill, heck they even kill thier own species, in what can can be described as, almost trible wars.

                      Chimps are very aggresive and not the cute little monkeys we think they are. An adult chimp can rip off the arm of an Adult human male!. So please stop beleiving the Vegan myths about meat but also don’t beleive the “Vegan Myths” other people think off to counter vegans. Fact is a veganistic diet can be very healthy, but some meat can be healthy too. IT all comes down to ballance. Atleast VEgans think before they eat.

                          That being said I do agree humans and other primates are mainly designed for plant consumption with the occasional meaty snack.

                      Actually the human mouth isn’t designed to just eat plants, the acid in the plants actually wears the enamel on the teeth causing them to decay faster, why do you think humans have the canine teeth in their mouths? they’re designed to help us eat MEAT and vegetables/fruit not just vegetables/fruit

                        The “fangs” you are referring to are the canines he was talking about, moron. Also, humans are not solely designed for meat eating. The molars in the back of your mouth are designed to grind plant foods.

                      Don’t be retarded. Chimps eat meat, and even eat each other. Humans aren’t designed to ‘kill’ because the Homo genus has been using weapons for the past 800,000 years. Why would they evolve traits that help in bringing down prey if they can do it via tools?
                      On top of that, the presence of a non-functional reduced cecum is present in humans. The reduced non-functional cecum is found only in carnivorous and omnivorous animals, thus humans have evolved a digestive tract of an omnivore.

                      No YOU do a lil’ bit of research. Monkeys (to keep it general) have an highly effective appendix to digest cellulose (“plant-stuff”), however with the Homo Sapiens Sapiens – this is not the case. Or appendix doesnt really do shit.

                      In other words, biologicly we aren’t adapted at eat plants as much as you claim either.

                        Actually, no-one’s sure what the purpose of the vermiform appendix is – it is ASSUMED that it helps digest plant material because of the fact that some mammals, like koala’s, who’s main diet is plant material, have a large appendix.

                      • Co says:

                        Hon, this is because we have been cooking our food for so long. Next you’ll be telling me that the fur raising reflex (goosebumps) means we need to never shave anything? Vestigal structures have become thus because of eons of changed behaviour. You are right in one respect though, modern humans CAN’T digest sticks. Good job.

                    • schmeer says:

                      Humans are omnivores. Herbivores don’t need the teeth we’ve developed. Compare our teeth to herbivores and you’ll see Nutrition nerd.

                    • anth major says:

                      Sorry hun, this is what I study for at college. Humans are omnivores. We have a nice set of teeth that are well adapted both for chewing plants and meat. This is a solid indicator of diet. You can easily classify most animal’s diets based only on teeth. i.e: Horses have really flat teeth that are very tall so that they can handle being worn down by the glass-like fibers in grass. Wolves have sharp rippers for meat.
                      Humans have a cross between the two, and there’s a well documented transition where we developed our set of teeth and changed our diet to fit our needs.

                      • tonk says:

                        Why do people assume that canines are there for tearing into meat? Gorrilla’s have larger canines than we have, yet their food consists primarily of plants (97%) and the rest…insects. Canines don’t necessarily = meat-eating. They can be used for defence and for fending off other males when competing for mates. There are herbivores that have canines too, *points to the hippopotamus*

                    The human digestive system still didn’t evolve enough to digest meat properly.
                    We aren’t completely “designed” to eat meat, but that doens’t mean we can’t.
                    And I was never against killing animals to eat, because that’s how every food chain works. The thing vegans complain about is the way they treat the animals and sometimes even how they kill them. I don’t think any of you can deny there are some pretty cruel videos out there on the web.
                    I didn’t think being a vegan was right until I did some heavy researching. I didn’t become one yet because it is hard to do it. Maybe someday.

                    • Adrienne says:

                      don’t cut meat from your diet, just go free-range. they’re not treated with cruelty like feed-lot cattle or caged chickens, and free-range cows are fed grass like they should be, not corn which makes them gassy and emit greenhouse gasses

                      • Gustavo says:

                        Thanks Adrienne, never heard of that one before.
                        I’ll google it later today. At least it looks good.

                      • Sharing says:

                        It is true that grass fed cows produce less greenhouse gasses than their grain fed counterparts, but that is only part of what got them into the #2 greenhouse gas emitters spot (source: UN FAO agriculture’s long shadow) There are also the issues of transporting animals around and the destruction of rainforests to clear land for grazing/animal grain production.

                        While grass fed animals might seem like a happier and cleaner alternative (thanks for thinking!) The cost of shifting all the factory farmed animals onto pastures hasn’t been calculated AFAIK, but most pastures are already overgrazed, and grass fed beef is already quite pricey.

                        Meanwhile paying extra for ‘happy’ meat is subsidizing the same violent, unhealthy practices that factory farms will continue to use for the foreseeable future.

                      I am against killing animals too… lets EATS THEM ALIVE!!!!

                  • zitromd says:

                    Factory farms account for more greenhouse gases than all the cars in the world combined. #1 is probably the culmination of #2 and #3: HUMANS. Just everything about us and our lifestyles kill the environment and any remnants of nature.

                    I’m actually one of those people who won’t reproduce. Why? Because we already have enough damn people on this planet. We don’t need anymore idiots to ruin it for everyone and everything else.

                    • angelgaidin says:

                      Logic Fail. No self-respecting researcher is going to compile a list of greenhouse gas contributors and have the #1 reason be any combination of the lower entries. The #1 entry is probably volcanoes or some such.

                      Another logic fail: not reproducing is counter-productive. If you don’t want to contribute to overpopulation, then have one child, but not reproducing is limiting (in an extremely minor way) our species’ genetic diversity, and irresponsible for any member of the species.

                  Then again, do you really need support for eating vegetables. I eat them every day and don’t need support. Maybe the meat gives you support for the vegetable eating and thus vegetarians need a separate support group to take the place of the support you get from eating meat.

                  • Gustavo says:

                    I believe you need to learn what to eat if oyu want to become a vegan, but after that….no support needed

                • angelgaidin says:

                  Homo sapiens sapiens has its prehistoric roots as a hunting and gathering societal species. That means that before recorded history, we were eating both meat and plants. I’m not aware of whether we ate meat before we began eating plants, but as far back as any human should be concerned, our species has always eaten both.

              • forge says:

                No joke, especially considering there are several world religions who practice vegetarianism as part of their faith, a few of which predate Christ. And I’m not sure about the Vedic faiths (Hinduism et al), but I believe the base belief system there predates the Talmud.

                Hi K@, can you please elaborate or provide a source? I consider myself very knowledgeable about beer and brewing (read several books, toured many breweries, brew my own beer, etc). But I’ve never heard that claim.
                Many “macro” beers do use cheap adjuncts to get the alcohol up without adding flavor… things like rice and corn sugar. And the hop cones are usually processed into hard pellets to make them less perishable and easier to handle.

                  • Guinness themselves admit to a mistake made in the 19th century- when rats got in to the brewery vats, and died there- obviously someone eventually cleaned them, and the beer tasted awful- so they add meat to the process to this day.
                    All English beer uses finings for the second fermentation process- fishy finings- Carlsberg admited to me they did the same sort of thing for clarity, meh!

                    • Brewski says:

                      BTW, there is NOT any meat added to Guinness. That is a myth. They DO, however, use isinglass (fish finings) to remove the yeast cells.
                      barnivore.com/beer has good info if you want to know if a particular beer is vegan or not.
                      The ones that adhere to centuries-old brewing methods (Guinness) are less likely to be vegan.

                • Brewski says:

                  OK, you piqued my curiousity, so I did some research. I found a vegan website with good info on this. About 99% of beers on the market are vegan. There are a very very few that use finings to clarify the beer. This is often made from fish, and is similar to gelatin. They can be used to remove organic compounds that make the beer cloudy. No remnants of the finings remain in the beer, but it is not considered vegan because animal products are used in the brewing process.
                  Most breweries nowadays use cold filtration with no animal byproducts. eg, carbon filters.
                  Wow, I learned something about beer today! Thanks k@!

                  That’s funny. I almost agree about kids being yuck after being snotted, and shat on for 36 hours straight by 2 kids.

              Little baby vegans are tough. My guy has been mostly-vegan since birth (we’re a bit flexible, we’ll eat stuff like b’day cake on special occasions but nothing obviously non-vegan) and I’ve received some flak from people on the subject. One preschool mom gave me a lecture on the subject while we ate lunch together at the park. Apparently feeding a kid crackers, carrots and hummus is child abuse and he’d be much better off eating a happy meal like her kid. I somehow managed to resist making a comment about the mad cow burger rotting her brain…

              • KatzVonD- VEGAN & spreading the word about trolls afflicted with NPD. says:

                People can get really crazy when it comes to baby vegans. Most people don’t actually know anything about nutrition and believe that if you don’t feed a kid chicken nuggets and milk they’ll die or something. it’s really sad that people don’t learn about what they eat.

                • N/A says:

                  We’re lucky to have a smart pediatrician. Living in an area with a lot of Indian families helps because so many of them are veg*ans so it’s not like he’s never seen a kid that doesn’t eat meat. He still sent a dietitian up to our room when DS was in hospital with rotavirus though. Poor girl came up with a bunch of leaflets trying to convince us to feed him eggs and left 10 minutes later with orders to go to the hospital kitchens and persuade them to offer soy milk and throw some beans on their salads ;-)

                  • KatzVonD-VEGAN says:

                    Good for you! :grin: I love beans in my salads, and sometimes it’s hard to find a salad that isn’t covered with meat and cheese. Yuck!

                    • Bearly Awake - Happily vegetarian says:

                      I learned the hard way that Wendy’s now puts BACON on their Caesar salad. Um, what?

                      • N/A says:

                        Caesar salads are rarely vegetarian anyway so they probably figure they can get away with it. Drives me nuts when people put bacon and cheese on garden salads though. I’m not much of a gardner but I’ve never seen bacon or shredded cheese growing in a garden.

                        • Bearly Awake - Happily vegetarian says:

                          With real Caesar dressing, you’re right – anchovies and whatnot. The stuff that they serve in those little packets? Usually vegetarian, but not vegan.

      • KatzVonD- VEGAN & spreading the word about trolls afflicted with NPD. says:

        *Squeezie* You are fantastic, Brewski! I wish more people had your attitude. :)

      • 5_eagles fail borg 1of1 says:

        I concur with your analysis Brewski. Some vegetarians do it for religious/ moral views for times then for health reasons.

        • Brewski says:

          There are lots of valid reasons.
          1. Animal cruelty. Food animals are typically raised in horrific conditions. Most would be shocked to see a chicken farm or industrial feed lot.
          2. Nutrition. Vegetarian diets can be very healthful and help keep your weight under control.
          3. Environment. Meat takes way more resources to raise than plants. It adds to global warming, requires more land and water, etc etc.
          4. Religious. Buddhists and others believe in reincarnation, and that animal may just be your dead grandmother.
          5. Economic. Calorie for calorie, you can save money.
          Did I miss any?

          • hammykins says:

            Some have a natural aversion to meat products.

            • Hairy the hunter. says:

              1. Taste. Some people hate it
              2. Allergic. Ok, ok. It’s not a reason to particularly be a vegetarian/vegan but it is a reason why people don’t eat meat.
              3. safety.
              4. Trends. The only reason that’s really stupid!

              My reasons are not that good but Brewski had most of them.

              • Brewski says:

                6. Profit!

                  It makes me want to barf!!!

                  • N/A says:

                    That’s the one thing I miss. The boca burgers and such are all well and good if you were a McDs meat eater as an omni but I was more of a ’steak so rare a good veterinarian could have it on it’s feet in 5 minutes’ eater. I rarely ate meat anyway unless it was cool in the middle and still bleeding. I just can’t eat meat for ethical and moral reasons (vegan for health reasons) but if I ever find myself in the restaurant at the end of the universe I’ll be placing my order with that suicidal cow. I figure human breastmilk is vegan because it’s willingly donated so if the cow wants to die anyway I might as well have a slice.

              • Leila - Having a Moanday, Powered By Caffeine says:

                Trends:?: Really? I wish it was cuz I really don’t want to be trendy. It’s hard to find things to eat when you are a vegetarian. :cry:

                • Bearly Awake - Happily vegetarian says:

                  It’s getting better, though. Vegan is still tough, but most places even in the land of chicken-fried steak (where I live) have something I can eat nowadays. I doubt most people would even know what a vegan is, though.

                  • Brewski says:

                    Fish is a vegetable, right?

                  • Leila - Having a Moanday, Powered By Caffeine says:

                    Good morning!

                    I live in TX and the word vegetarian is not in their vocabulary let alone understanding what a vegan is.

                    I don’t venture out to eat much. I prepare 95% of what we eat at home.

                    • Bearly Awake - Happily vegetarian says:

                      Morning! Yeah, it was hard when I brought my college roommate, who is Hindu, and therefore does not eat any meat or eggs but will eat dairy, home with me for Christmas a while back. We discovered that it’s not common knowledge that a) chicken broth is still considered meat and b) you can’t cook her veggies in the same pan you just used to cook up some beef. Sigh.

                      • Malicite says:

                        It’s a shame that tofu is so hard to cook :/

                        • Bearly Awake - Happily vegetarian says:

                          True, but Morningstar farms sells frozen meat substitutes that are really easy to use in place of meat in some of the recipes where you might use tofu. I’m definitely a fan!

                        • Leila - Having a Moanday, Powered By Caffeine says:

                          Mal, I have some fabulous recipies (my own) to prepare tofu. It’s not hard at all. You just have to remember how to manipulate all the spices and flavors to get it exactly to your liking.

                        • Ormewood says:

                          I deep-fry tofu breaded with Martha White’s cornbread mix. (Really.)

                          I think this makes me a true citizen of Atlanta.

                      • Bearly Awake - Happily vegetarian says:

                        My vegetarianism has developed since then, so I didn’t have the same problem at the time. Now I can happily refuse to choke down a steak at my dad’s request on Father’s Day. :D

                        • Malicite says:

                          That’s a pretty mean request hehehehehe….

                          I like tofu and all (for what it is worth), but I just can’t get past the consistency of meat substitute. You chew it…and it never goes away…it becomes like a meat gum… *barf*

                          Chickenless chicken nuggets ruined me…

                          Well, that and my brother’s macrobiotic girlfriend… they are probably the one group I will fault for their dietary choices, but that’s because they think food is the source (and solution) to all of life’s stress, disease and problems. Danger stuff…like Christian Scientists.

                        • Bearly Awake - Happily vegetarian says:

                          Really? Chickenless chicken nuggets taste almost exactly like the real thing to me (I get a brand called Quorn or something like that). In fact, I joke with my friends that they probably have about as much real chicken in them as McDonald’s! I got my omnivore parents to try them, and they agreed that if I hadn’t told them, they might not have known the difference. *Shrug* Sorry the meat substitutes haven’t worked for you.

                        • Malicite says:

                          Taste-wise they were spot on. The taste was never an issue :) Frankly, most meat substitutes replicate flavor to almost perfection. Consistency after you chew it? Ew…

                        • Leila - Having a Moanday, Powered By Caffeine says:

                          I never understood why you would make fake chicken only to make it taste like the real thing. As a vegetarian, I don’t know what the appeal is.

                        • Bearly Awake - Happily vegetarian says:

                          I decided to give up the meat completely because I felt it was healthier. I’m usually happy with my choice, but every once in a while I get a chicken craving. The meat substitutes are good middle ground for me, and unlike Mal, I actually prefer the texture of the substitute.

                        • hammykins says:

                          It’s for those who like the taste of meat, but don’t eat it on ethical grounds.

                        • DrB...reformed vegetarian says:

                          I look at meat substitutes and wonder what hellish processing had to happen to that vegetable or pulse to make it like that.

          • chez says:

            In regards to point number 2, nutrition, vegitarian diets are more healthy than their meaty counterparts in no small part because of serving size. Humans are omnivores by nature, but the amount of meat that our body actually wants is about 3 oz per serving. Anyone in here ever try to walk into a steakhouse and order a 3 oz steak? They will laugh you out of the place.
