Great Success!!!
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)
Plus WIN for tickson quoting obscure bands from Kingston Ont.!
You are correct good sir! Arrogant Worms forever!
Here’s a link
My favorite would have to be “The Last Saskatchewan Pirate,” go Alberta!
Hilarious!! Thanks for sharing.
ME LIKE HOCKEY!!!
Do i sense someone singing a song by one of my favorite bands?
it seems i do
that’s not even funny. animals have nervous systems, are cognizant and sentient. go watch meetyourmeat or something. grow some heart.
yes, i know, BUT they also taste good. grow some sack.
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…
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.
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.
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.
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
At least I have chicken
YESSS!!! I can’t believe no one else commented to tell you you’re awesome
no offence, I respect your opinion about not eating meat and all but eating meat and bad factory conditions are two separate issues. Swine flu has NOTHING to do with eating pork and you cannot get sick with swine flu by eating meat. That’s already scientifically proven.
*Also the WHO(World health organisation) * quote cyrell
naw man im pretty sure the who was a rock band.
Win!
I guess you forget about the people who got hepatitis from the green onions at chi chi’s and died. Or salmonella from tomatoes etc…
Cyrell I have to applaud you for being much better informed, that 99% of animal rights activists but I still don’t agree with your conclusions.
While you are correct Mad cow disease can be transferred from animal to animal by feeding cows nerve tissue (spines and brains) that practice has been banded for over a decade already. Also the danger of Mad cow disease was much overstated. You can only get it from eating nerve tissue, which is not a common practice and even then it is pretty uncommon.
Take the UK were they had Mad Cow disease rampant throughout their system, eating brains is more common in their cuisine and only a few people died.
The domesticated animals used in agriculture are herd animals so I don’t see the problem in having them in large groups and farmers try to keep them as healthy as possible because sick stock is losing you money. I would say most farm herds are heather than comparable wild herds.
I’m not sure I understand your aversion with organic wastes going down the drain. That water is all treated before it is returned to the rivers and I think household chemicals going down the drain is a much larger problem.
“Shit and piss … are pumped on the fields” this is perhaps the strangest comment in your rant. It is called nutrient cycling and has been going on for millions of years long before humans were even around. Shit and piss or more properly manure is excellent for fields it increase fertility and the increased organic matter has a host of benefits including moisture holding capacity, nutrient holding capacity and tilt just to name a few.
I hope someone learned something with my long rant.
Most Epic Troll EVER! I give it 5 Stiff Broccolis!
So go to your nice organic local farmer and buy a juicy pastured, grass-fed steak.
Factory farming has issues, yes. Factory farming exists as a result of grain being available from ecosystem-destroying monocrop agriculture. Eating meat is not the cause, here. Eating wheat/corn/soy/etc. is.
You know what humans were before they started doing silly things like cultivating grains? Earth’s most successful PREDATORS!
Bacon. Get some.
You’ve never met a chicken have you. If you knew any, you’d know they were the animal to fear.
Yes, because I better get prepared for the attack the Cows are preparing for (To eat us)
GUESS UR A LESBO THEN
You, sir, are amazing.
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.
only problem with this is that by the time most humans die, they are old, so it would be a low quality meat
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.
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
dude way to copy jonathan swift
Hey sorry if you mind if I say this but YOU ARE CREEPY!!!! I’m an all the way carinvorious and eating people is so so different. BTW if you are one of those annoying veggie”terror”ins get this: the animals would not be alive if they weren’t farmed for meat. Hey this is the circle of life here! And the food chain does not involve chowin’ down on people!
Also, addressing your comment,”If you should not eat them god should have made them out of meat.” I for one am an atheist. And evolution does not involve god making stuff, let alone making stuff out of meat. Just thought you ought to know.
You know, the sentiency bit COULD be argued… I don’t see animals having cars and trains and computers.
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?
Soilent green is people!!!
WIN
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.
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…
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. :]
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.
The US was practicing eugenics long before the nazis…
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.
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.
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…
WIN
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
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.
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.
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
You’re right, CFC’s (Chlorofluorocarbons) are more dense than ozone. However, the “fluoro” part of it is super reactive, aka halogens. Like chlorine bleach reacts with your clothes. Anyway the CFC’s react with the ozone and form some worthless crap.
Anyway, you are healthier if you eat meat, and red meat is good in moderation because the iron is in a form that is easiest for your body to turn into hemoglobin. As a physician, I have yet to see a patient who is a vegetarian who looks healthy. They look anemic, no real muscle mass. Like most americans, vegetarians eat way too many carbs.
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
You had me at “slaughtered.”
Best reply I have read today! (No I won’t say Best. Reply. Ever. because it is overused and I don’t watch Sponge Bob anyway)
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?
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!
You do have a good argument there, my friend.
This made me so happy. You win forever.
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
“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.”
The problem with this theory is that grain and vegetable crops usually produce a higher profit margin. Therefore, most of the land that livestock is raised on has one or more limiting factors that keeps it from being used for other purposes.
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.
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.
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.
until that young baby is yours, or the person with dementia is your mother. Your right. What good are they? Just a burden…youre sick.
they lost the food chain war, they get eaten. Its life.
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?
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 enzymatic 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.
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?
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.
And unlike our fellow omnivores, the chimpanzees, the meat you it is probably dead before you start.
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?
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?
yes…… meat ftw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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.
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.
@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!
PS: I love animals both alive as on my diner plate.
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.
yes we should kill them
Well generally those wanting to save the animals are all for killing babies.
….probably
LMAO!!! Yeah that is what being sentient means – having a car.
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
‘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.
Ah come on, it’s hilarious. Do you think maybe being entirely humourless is good for the vegan movement?
Oh your right! I am militantly vegan, and easily see the humor in this. Especially since T-rex wasn’t a predator either, but whatever. Funny!
T-Rex not a predator? WTF?
Debatable, there is some evidence that it was a scavenger, though there is also data that suggests that it hunted. Definitley killed its own kind though.
I’m a vegan and I laughed!
Unfortunately, some vegans/animal right activists take it to the extreme. They care more about other animals than humans. Gives us all a bad name.
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
Or we could kill them before we eat them, so they don’t feel!
Oh wait…
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…
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.
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…
they are delicious cage birds. quit cryin and choke on some rabbit food.
really, choke
He’s human, he’s entitled to his opinion even if it is idealist and looks upon them as though they have a fully formed coginitive mind to understand what is going on.
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.
True!
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)
animals and plants were put on earth for us and other animals to eat. animals eat animals, so why shouldn’t we?
Your argument is absolutely flawless! In fact, I’m gonna go kill some people now, because other people do it too.
Make sure you eat all of your human, or you won’t get any tomatoes for dessert.
How can you even say that? Humans can’t even say that for ourselves. We don’t know why the hell we’re here. What makes you think you know why animals were put on this earth?
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.
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.
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.
McOwned. Ignition you are now my new favorite person in the world.
how the 4 do you get a 5.0 gpa? even in the 4.3 system, honors waiting only brings you to a 4.8 ish
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.
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?!
we need a few more jeffrey dahmers.
You, my friend, are the plucky comic relief. -Deep breath-
“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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
actually, you are probably really really….wrong, it’s not that they are bad towards other people, they’re just making fun of you for talking a picture too seriously….on the internet!!!!…but hey, that’s just my opinion
Actually, some people on this site take things wayyyy too seriously – I mean, I would know, I’m one of them – so they’re actually getting really genuinely pissed off about the opinions of others. Just FYI. We can sit in a corner and laugh at them now. Including myself. ^^
I think you ment “Taking”
why don’t you grow a pair, become a real american, and thoughen up
Comment fail.
Comment win!
Comment whore!
Why would anyone want to be a “real American”? Most people agree (even Americans) that being a real American isn’t a good thing.
I love that… “Most people agree,” that’s right along the lines of “doctor recommended” and “pharmacist preferred.” I’m a Real American here on the day celebrating Real Americans that gave us our freedom AND independence from tyranny.
which is slowly being eroded by an increasingly oppressive government… time for another revolution
Malfeasant shut the hell up. Your comments are missplaced, crude, and offensive. There is no such thing as a perfect government. We live head and shoulders above most of the rest of the world so be quiet.
-Facepalm- I believe Malfeasant is using that quirky little literary device called “sarcasm,” which is generally one of the types of humor that this website is supposed to be built around…
Game over, you win! Everyone else loses and has no more continues left. This is the absolute best comment I’ve seen ANYWHERE!
i dont see why the colonists were so upset over the british taxes. They were installed to pay for the loans after the french and indian war, which basically helped the colonists only, and not mainland england
Well said. Most people who say that America sucks are communists and fascists. Nor freedom lovers.
how did OIF help us stay here safe. Sure, we kicked out a corrupt, evil government, but they were in no place to attack us, and now, even the citizens of the country we tried to help want us out
heart is very tasty.
I am with you little fellow, what´s this whole anti vegan thing anyways…they feel ashamed they kill animals because they really don´t care about anything in the world BUT them!
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.
Ive worked at a slaughter house, i dont need to go to meetyourmeat. A stake taste just as good if you kill the cow yourself. go People for the Eating of Tasty Animals!
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.
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.
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.
Since you haven’t been flamed nearly enough as you deserve, i think i’ll help out.
You’re an idiot.
A complete, and total, moron.
“that’s not even funny. animals have nervous systems, are cognizant and sentient. go watch meetyourmeat or something. grow some heart.”
Quoted so i can ROFL at it some more.
Tell me this, failtard.
Do animals eat each other?
Why yes, they do.
Your argument fails all by itself. You only have one premise, and it is contradictory.
Failblog is for lulz, go be serious somewhere else, but you might want to go back to school before you do. You clearly know nothing about life.
I agree with the crowd, grow a pair of balls, and cut open a juicy animal
yes but eat the animals before evolution finds it funny to make plants fight back but so what it’s the circle of life and even if you eat veggies only you will and will always be a omnivore
animals are cognizant and sentient? wow im glad you discovered that, you should let the rest of the world know when and how im sure they’d like to know. plants are just as living as animals, and you have no reason or proof to suggest that animals feel pain and plants dont, vegetarians are murderers!
Quit being a panzy. This is hilarious.
Animals are cognizant sentient beings with nervous systems… WHO EAT EACH OTHER. It’s nature, not politics.
Bet it does not
’cause veggies have no nervous tissue
neither cold nor hot
anthropomorphization is your issue
We’re omnivores, not herbivores.
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.
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.
but unlike you i can eat both raw and cooked meat
Sharing, this is Science. Science, this is Sharing. It’s clear to me that you two haven’t met. I think you’ll really like each other.
Tickson, I want you to know that you have, with a mere quote, forced me to create an account on this very website to blame you personally for not only finding that song…but enjoying the crap out of the Arrogant Worms once more.
exactly they’re organisms too!! Just because they don’t have a brain doesn’t mean they can’t feel! (oh wait…)
I love that song!
quick question, does anyone know where this picture was taken at? Because I’m pretty sure I saw this on a cork board at WVSU so I want to know if that was the original or just a lame copy.
This is a shitty reply!!!
Indeed.
I will continue my awesomeness…

Old man beat down
Uh, this is because veganism is a fledgling movement where people need to be educated and receive the support of others. People who eat meat don’t need support groups because they’re right in line with the public at large. The right-hand poster justifies the second.
Not to say it isn’t funny.
What exactly is the reasoning against omnivorism except for: “please, don’t kill the animals”?
Omnivores eat both. Most of us are Omnivores. You’re thinking of herbivores.
It says “against omnivorism,” although this could be interpreted as for either vegans or carnivores; it’s implied by the quote that’s it’s for veganism. It makes sense, sort of.
Of course some Vegans only eat vegetables not because they love animals, but because they hate plants and want them to die. It takes all kinds.
Not true! Meat eaters are responsible for more plant death, due to the inefficiency of growing meat.
Go to youtube and search for “peta undercover hormel” and then tell me how awesome meat is!
How awesome meat is? Friggin awesome!!
OH YEAH!!!
please, Main, calm down. please.
Wow. WOW. Gee Main, you don’t sound like a raving lunatic at all. Or a menace and danger to society.
Blarelli – absolutely.
Main – oh yeah, let’s kill people and send them all to hell for enjoying meat. Because lower animals on the evolutionary ladder are way more important than human beings.
You do realize you sound like an idiot, don’t you?
Google “peta kills animals” and then tell me how awesome peta is…
Very enlightening. I signed the petition.
Here in Oklahoma, PETA people sometimes cut the locks on farm gates to “Liberate” valuable horses and cattle.
Zwei, that’s not PETA, that’s the ALF.
BTW, I googled it. PETA’s awesome.
Hey does anybody know if Main is really that dumb and idiotic? Because if he/she/it is pretending they are natural at it.
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.
Remember to spade and neuter their pets (before you eat them)
LOL
Yeah, because PETA being overly extreme is a good reason to ignore the injustices that they actually do uncover, right? And it’s a good reason to eat meat? Ridiculous…
LMAO WTF? STFU PETA LOVR!!!
once again in *English*
AK-47? You truly are an idiot. If I were you, I’d learn how to spell basic English before attempting a witty reply.
It seems like common sense dies with people like you.
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.
And who says that all vegetarians, vegans, or animal rights activists don’t care about humans? We give more of a shit than you ever will for helping the planet with our lifestyles.
Because PETA isn’t biased or pushing an agenda at all. Please.
Exactly….. try getting your info from a less biased source… or even more than one source
Are you saying no one should stand for anything? PETA exists to serve an agenda. Did you watch the Hormel vids?
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?
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.
PETA lost whatever credibility it had left when it criticized Obama for swatting a fly. How many flies die on the windshields of PETA supporters during their daily commute?
PETA= People Eating Tasty Animals
Oh ho ho ho! Good one that I have never heard before!
Unoriginal and overplayed. Your post fails.
Humans were once Herbivores, but we EVOLVED. WE GOT OVER IT. SO SHOULD ALL HIPPIE VEGANS.
Wtf dude, when was the last time a vego or vegan told you what you should eat?
Oh right, probably not too long ago. But still, plz to lay off.
Yeah, when was that? Oh just now. Hahaha, good one man.
If we’re so evolved, then why has the American Cancer Society warned that eating a lot of meat (especially red meat) causes colon cancer?
http://www.cancer.org/docroot/NWS/content/NWS_1_1x_Eating_Lots_of_Red_Meat_Linked_to_Colon_Cancer.asp
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.*
Oh yes, because im sure the vegetables soaked in acid rain and radioactive groundwater is doing wonders for your body. And that article says LARGE amounts.. it isnt like meat is ALL we eat.. mix in a balance of both and you’ll be fine.. oh crap did i just define what it means to be an omnivore? oh yea look at that…
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.”
I like my steaks medium anyway. More flavor that way. Mmmmm…. fresh blood!
There’s barely any blood in a steak, the carcasses are well drained. The liquid is from inside the cells.
Sorry to be a tool…
You idiot, what about the the nuts ,fruits and vegetables that have been killing people lately? I can’t even have a PB&J sandwich without dying. I have a solution. I’ll just start killing vegan hippies and frying you up… mmmm Bar-B-Qued hippie, might taste better than cow, the acid trip after effect might cause cancer though.
If you’re referring to the salmonella poisonings that have been taking place, you might want to research exactly where those farms were located. Usually downstream from cattle stockyards – the ecoli in their waste gets into the water, the water is used to irrigate, say, spinach, and voila, you have an epic consumerism fail.
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.
Agreed. Breathing causes cancer- prove me wrong- show me one dead person who never breathed- you can’t, can you?
* This is a joke
** Sorry for stating the obvious, but if I didn’t, some idiot might take me seriously.
Ah sir, I accept your title of condemnation with pride. By the way, luvvy, I never tell you what to eat. I simply… suggest.
…-Cough- Y’know, there are *some* people that are vegan or vegetarian for health reasons – no, not because “Eating meat makes you fat” (which is a stupid remark) but because we’re allergic; something in our bodies does not tolerate meat. I like to think that I’ve evolved pretty damn well from an ape (excuse my French.) So please, remember that before you say I’m not evolved. ^^
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.
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.
Trible = Tribal. Sorry I’m not awake yet
.
I hate to break it to ya but Chimps are known to cannibalize. They hunt in packs working together to trap other chimps then tear them apart alive. It’s not a very nice thing to see.
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
Unfortunately, my digestive track doesn’t quite agree with these fangs in my mouth, and every time I eat meat, I get sick… Kinda sucks, really. NO PUN INTENDED…
Do a little research yourself, dumbass. Here is some you can do real quick: Touch your tongue to your front teeth. Then move over two teeth in either direction. Feel how sharp and pointy they are. That is because they are FANGS. That is because you are designed to eat meat.
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.
Oscar, DaDave was replying to Nutrition-nerd’s post about frugivores. Hence the nesting under that post. DaDave says canines are for meat, not that the human diet should be solely meat. Try reading the post before replying to it.
and looking where it’s nesting
If God didn’t want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?
Eh. Some people like meat, Some people don’t. Can’t we just leave it at that?
Horses have canines. Are they designed to eat meat?
So true!
Actually, horses CAN eat meat but aren’t supposed to. It can give them colic which can even kill them in some cases. And usually canine teeth don’t show up when the horse is a mare.
Horses can eat meat, but aren’t supposed to? What animal does THAT sound like?
Yup must be!
I’m not that impressed by human fangs. I bet you own a set of steak knives.
Raw meat is very easy to tear with your canines. Its when its cooked that you need knives.
Actually, luvvy, they were designed for the tough skins of fruit. The Primate with the longest “fangs” in comparison to mouth size is the Orangutan, whose diet consists of mosly fruit. Talk about doing your research…
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.
@Nutrition-nerd,
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.
PWND.
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.
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.
Humans are omnivores. Herbivores don’t need the teeth we’ve developed. Compare our teeth to herbivores and you’ll see Nutrition nerd.
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.
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 monkey that’s the most like us? I’m pretty sure you meant to say ape… And read up on how chimps tear colobus monkeys into sections and then eat them like we eat chicken. mmm, mmm, monkey(bells).
actually.. humans take longer to digest plant material because a certain part of their small intestine is smaller.. on the other hand, a rabbit has a longer section and guess what, they are herbivores..
wrong……. chimps hunt and kill…… alot……. ud know that if u didnt get ur fact from a discovery chanel special….. btw discovery makes shiit up and warps the facts to suite there investors…….. we are biologically omnivores…….. and please dont reply to me with some text book awnser………. also our dental structure is more suited for an omnivore’s diet….. dont come back witha rebuttle from ur dentist cuz he dont know jack about anything to do with other animals teeth so he’d have no refrence for comparison……… thankyou….. and remember before u give me a comeback…….. just avoid sorces like (peta, discovery chanel,text books), anything thats a Publicly accepted fact…. witch is far diffrent from a fact.
Wait, reasonable logic? What are YOU doing here!?
A simple way to see if you are a Carnivore or at least Omnivores is to turn your head and look around. If you have depth perception and eyes in the front of your face then you are Carnivore /or Omnivores .
If you have not depth perception then you are a Herbivore and your eye are on opposite sides of your head.
{Possible exceptions include one-eyed pirates, Volcher, and dinosaurs; due to lack of depth perception}
…and Pandas. ;P
ak-47, “volcher” is spelled “vulture.” Sorry, I normally don’t correct spelling mistakes, but that one desperately needed to be corrected. I do agree with your point though.
This is the best comment ever. Win.

How about the fact that livestock production is the #2 greatest contributor to greenhouse gas emission? #3 is transportation.
Also, the meat industry is a hugely inefficient industry that causes massive resource depletion and decrease in soil fertility. And let’s not forget that too much meat kills YOU, not just animals.
Do your homework, failure.
If the livestock is number 2, and car emissions is number 3, then what is number 1? and of number 2 and 3, what is the principle factor causing them both to be so severe: OVERPOPULATION. so unless you are unwilling to have any children to save the planet, dont waste our time. all vegetarian diet, not healthy. all carnivorous diet, not healthy. its all moderation and balance.
PS if we dont kill the planet, an asteroid will. or jesus, or nuclear weapons, or a plague.
Actually, you can have an all vegetarian diet and be healthy. You just have to know what to eat.
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.
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
Thanks Adrienne, never heard of that one before.
I’ll google it later today. At least it looks good.
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!!!!
(correction*)
EAT, EAT, EAT.
(Snake..SNAKE>>>SNAKE!!!!!)
Best idea EVAR!
WOOT
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.
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.
Good riddance, stupid.
Not healthy? Sweetie, I’ve been vegan all my life and have never been overweight yet.
weight is not the only measure of health. in fact there are plenty of unhealthy people who are underweight.
Pfffffail! You came across as somewhat intellectual in previous posts, but to imply that being overweight is the only health issue affected by diet is just ignorant.
no livestock is nowhere near the “#2 contributor” u fail epically….. no……. u fail galacticaly…. i had to make a new lvl of fail for you
Besides the fact that veg*nism is GOOD for the environment and personal health, you mean?
A fledgling movement? Yeah, vegetarianism is a new idea. Not like it’s been actively promoted as a lifestyle since the 1960′s and earlier, right? RIGHT???
Compared to eating meat, vegetarianism is very fledgling.
No like we’ve been eating meat since before we figured out how to grow crops, right? RIGHT?????
Thousands of years to less than a hundred years? Certainly makes it fledgling to me.
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.
I believe you need to learn what to eat if oyu want to become a vegan, but after that….no support needed
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.
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.
I… am a piavore. Lets stop debating between meat and vegitables.
Everyone should be eating sugar and easy cheese.
hinduism arose during the age of taurus, hence their ongoing reverence for the mighty cow.
Wow, that was a waste of space.
“I am not a vegan because I like animals, I am because I hate plants.”
-quoted from a vegan.
tks for that one! now i’ll know what to say…
Oh well then, to hell with plant haters. My tree would beat ‘em up.
“Meat eaters are responsible for more plant death, due to the inefficiency of growing meat.

Had to be done, Damn plant eaters. At least they all group together to make it easier to be hunted.
Ehh…I wouldn’t say they group together. Vegetarianism is quite contagious, so the vegetarian population multiplies wherever vegetarians reside. Omnivores are quite easy to convert.
And the ones who can’t be converted are eaten.
seriously. I’m a vegitarian and since I started high school two years ago i’ve converted a few of my friends to be vegitarians… tis indeed an infectious disease
i believe i would rather catch swine flu… at least that has something to do with meat
A disease, or a religion?
I will now compare vegetarianism to Twilight.
Rrrrrrrrrrroooooooowwww kill or be killed a vegetarian.
Ahhh.
_That_ is the link from vegetable theft to homicide.
Good thing there are support groups.
aren’t support groups suppose to be about _not doing_ whatever the support group is about?
like alcoholics groups are about support in not drinking alcohol, drug addicts groups are about support in not doing drugs…
support: noun; the act of not doing something.
WIN: noun; the act of confusing people with wrong dictionary entries.
noun: person, place, thing, etc
verb: “the act of….”
hahahaha, you two are ricoculous
You need to go back to grade school and learn your parts of speech.
My Alcohol Support Group is about supporting my habit.
My alcohol support is usually a table.
Or to help sustain their lifestyles, talk about their struggles…
Those three people who took a slip must have to live knowing how unaswome they are
The tyrannysaurus saw that that was taken care of.
But I’m an omnivore! What do I do?
Take a ticket. Select a vegan and then eat it.
How about coming to the support group, then eat everyone and the food they brought there?
What the picture doesn’t show you is that the tickets were chewed off by Rottie. He needed a new breakfast stop.
actually, eat the vegans and leave the food they brought, it was just tree bark and berries anyway.
That would make you a humanitarian.
and if you just eat eagles….Egalitarian!
RUN, 5_EAGLES!
Oops! I meant…
FLY, 5_EAGLES! FLY!

And if you only eat mushrooms, you’re mushy.

That’s chitin achievement.
I’m takin’ a lichen to these puns.
LMAO K@custard.
Haha. Most omnivores wouldn’t have the guts, as shown by the usual selection of meat…all domesticated, weak animals. And even when we do decide to eat from dangerous creatures, we just take a small piece of it and RUN!! (eg shark fins)
Rarh.
I used the F-word so my joke got censored
But I was thinking the exact same thing.
These effin’ racist bigots always leave out the awesome guys
Omnivores! Roll out and rebel!
Plantae, animalia, fungi, protista, monera – it’s all good!
Protista?! Yuck! (brings to mind the immortal words of the sage Homer: “Mmm… Free goo… (drools)”
Omnivores: the original Transformer.
Rebel? Against what? 95% of the population eats meat and animal product as an omnivorous diet. You’re so status you’re quo, my friend.
Laugh while you eat your chicken salad.

Did you know more plants have to go through that in order to feed animals to fatten them up for you to eat them? If you really believe plants are sentient beings you could save a lot of them by going vegan and eating them directly instead of feeding large amounts to animals so you can eat them.
WIN

(btw, i keep seeing this “corn-fed beef” in the market. aren’t cows supposed to eat grass…? silly humans.)
Or if you more sensibly just want to do something for the environment — eat it yourself instead of feeding it to a cow which will belch and fart half of it out, and then eating the belchy, farty cow!
…or we could be joking
As a vegetarian (who doesn’t actually like meat-yeah I know weird huh) I haven’t ever needed a support group, and am still happy to kill prep and cook for my carnivore hubby- where the hell does that leave me? *confused*

It leaves you on the shelf for a later meal LOL. Morn K@custard fairy.
mornin 5……weirdest thing I ever cooked,
Impala colon!
My girlfriend is totally repusled by meat. She can’t touch it, and avoids even looking at it. We don’t eat much meat… but when we do, I invariably have prep duties. She likes it cooked to where it is an unrecognizable lump of charcoal.
No problem atall for me- I just don’t like the damned stuff! It started making me throw up when I was about 13- I haven’t eaten it since- what did I do when I turned 16- got a job cooking steak, and skinning rabbits!
Interesting! Every once in a while I eat a steak. Like maybe once every year or two. While it usually tastes pretty good (since I do it so rarely, I generally splurge with a filet mignon), I also usually feel a bit sick afterwards. I think my body doesn’t tolerate meat as well as it once did.
So in your quest for veggie dominance you began knocking off your competitors the cow and rabbit? How malicious, underhanded, and cruel of you. I like it!
Survival of the fittest.
ewwwwwwww K@custard LOL
k@, from one veg head to another … *squeeze*
You gotta admit, that’s a funny fail.
oh I admit its funny- I just don’t know where it leaves me!
We have to laugh at ourselves too sometimes.
My…my hero.
LOL. This is the the kind of simple pleasure that makes life worth living.
If that is all, you should try to use herowin.
Wow… I’m actually offended by a FB pic. That’s a first. Why are meat eaters so defensive and angry about what I choose to eat?
What NPD? in your name katzvon.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder- trolls who were born without a sense of humo(u)r.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)- Narcissists have little sense of humor. They don’t get jokes, not even the funny papers or simple riddles, and they don’t make jokes. You need help.
Sorry I got it from you other fail.
No problem.
I don’t believe most people care. I believe there is a fringe group on both sides… some hard-core vegans try to aggressively recruit converts, which leads to a backlash among people who have no interest in giving up meat. Kinda like the backlash against Jehovah’s Witnesses, say.
Personally, I applaud vegetarians and vegans. I wish there were more of them.
I agree. That leaves more meat for the rest of us.
I refuse to breed to make more!
“True environmentalists don’t breed.”
And there is a good example why some people dislike environmentalists!
I’m sorry k@, that came out wrong. I wasn’t saying anything about you.
I believe population growth is a serious threat to life as we know it on this planet, but it’s a taboo subject for a number of reasons, particularly religion. Veganism helps increase sustainability, but even that won’t save us after global population has doubled.
I am very difficult to offend hun!
P.S I am studying Environmental science for my degree (which I am 10 years late on starting!) so sustainability is a big part of what I am doing, however I am not breeding- cause children are yuck in my book!
I agree with Brewski the greatest impact you have have to the earth is to have a child. If and when my wife and I decided to have children, it will probably be only one.
Society contribution … DONE!!!
ONE child makes a lot of sense to me.
i heard somewhere that if everyone were to have 1 child the population would decrease at a manegable[How do you spell this
] pace
(i’m not sure, not being an expert, so feel free to correct me)
That’s funny. I almost agree about kids being yuck after being snotted, and shat on for 36 hours straight by 2 kids.
Not making any lil’ baby vegans either. Not really a mommy type, but I will clone some if I can borrow the cloning machine.
*passes KatzVonD the cloning machine*
MWAAHAHAHAHA!! I’ll build a vegan army and shoot all the meat eaters into space!
*Snicker* Just kidding!
Trust FAIL.
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…
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.
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
Good for you!
I love beans in my salads, and sometimes it’s hard to find a salad that isn’t covered with meat and cheese. Yuck!
I learned the hard way that Wendy’s now puts BACON on their Caesar salad. Um, what?
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.
With real Caesar dressing, you’re right – anchovies and whatnot. The stuff that they serve in those little packets? Usually vegetarian, but not vegan.
*Squeezie* You are fantastic, Brewski! I wish more people had your attitude.
I concur with your analysis Brewski. Some vegetarians do it for religious/ moral views for times then for health reasons.
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?
Some have a natural aversion to meat products.
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.
6. Profit!
7. Texture
It makes me want to barf!!!
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.
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.
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.
Fish is a vegetable, right?
I thought fish was a fruit?
No, fish is a gas.
Only when heated above 12° C.
What type of gas exactly?
I thought Jumping Jack Flash?
Fruit of the sea?
Is that fruit or fish?
Frush?
Try and keep that frush under control, chicken.
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.
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.
It’s a shame that tofu is so hard to cook :/
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!
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.
I deep-fry tofu breaded with Martha White’s cornbread mix. (Really.)
I think this makes me a true citizen of Atlanta.
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.
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.
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.
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…
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.
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.
It’s for those who like the taste of meat, but don’t eat it on ethical grounds.
I look at meat substitutes and wonder what hellish processing had to happen to that vegetable or pulse to make it like that.
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.
I’m not
you eat your fruits and I’ll eat my steak
ROFL — epic hissy fit FAIL (or win, depending on how you look at it!)
WOO HOO! TELL ‘EM, CHERRY!
I’ll need your help.
i’m not personally vegan, but i don’t get why people make fun of them.
Why does people make jokes about blondes?
Or why black people?
Why about nationalities?
Just take the whole thing with some humor, you can’t tell me that you’ve never laughed about someone or something that happend to him.
Everyone should be able to laugh at themselves, but I have gotten into heated discussions and even a fist fight because someone didn’t like that I was vegan.
yeah, i admit that a few jokes on my race (asian) are sometimes funny, and i laugh them off, but i’ve never heard a funny joke about vegans.
Why did the vegan cross the road?
To get the carrot on the other side!
HA HA HAA HAAA!!! Hoo!!
OK, I guess that wasn’t funny.
Brewski don’t care about reactions, you did your best!
Actually it was to make sure no one ran over the poor chicken…
I thought it was to remove the ‘dissing’ bad imitation flyer.
That was funny. Also on the other site where this infantile picture was someone said that Vegetarian was Apache for “bad hunter”. I thought that was funny.
To see more “awesome” carnivores, go to youtube and search for “peta hormel undercover”. Then you might see why some of us have less humor towards these things. Stop shielding yourselves from the reality of meat industry. Please.
No, i’d rather go eat a double bacon burger…
his pee pee was stuck in the chicken?
swap those two around, bud
Word up.
If your “different” in some way, you’ll have to live with some critic, even if you don’t want to. But there is always a limit where the fun is over. And at least I don’t really care if someone eats a chicken or not, everyone is able to live his life on the way he wants to. There wasn’t anyone who asked you if you want to life.
*changes last word* life – live
yeah i hear ya, sometime sucks bein “smart”
um…k…
Count me among the omnivours who didn’t think this was funny.
So noted. *makes notes on clipboard*
I’m a vegetarian and I thought this was pretty funny. Everyone needs to be able to laugh at themselves sometimes.
*roffles about self*
*hits head*
I’m not laughing about myself anymore…it hurts!

This is just sad, some McDonalds fatzo just added this sign to show them that he hates people who prefer morals above their food. And that’s not all, that guy did not even watch the header, he should have used capitals.
Hey hey hey. Hairy, don’t do that c’mon. You can’t say that vegetarians prefer morals over food. That is basically saying that carnivores are just food seekers. Those are your morals, but putting that statement there puts me and other meat-eaters out there in the dog house, the counter-positive, well it is attacking to meat-eaters.
Sorry, but this just makes people who eat meat look bad. Some vegans have the same issue, they try to keep people from eating meat instead of letting them make their own choice. I can’t stand it from both sides.
.
I am a ‘part-time vegetarian’. I eat meat once a week, or less.
That’s probably closest to the way we were naturally meant to be – if we were meant to eat meat three times a day, we’d be better hunters (without the aid of guns) IMO.
True, though if we weren’t meant to eat meat we also would not have developed fang teeth.
Agreed! Principles of evolution FTW!
I actually do not have canines….well I do but they are flattened- I am obviously not meant to eat meat!
Now that made me giggle BA! (Don’t for get we also have flat teeth that in the animal kingdom usually means herbivore.)
refresh WIK, refresh!
No need to get militant…?
A word to the wise, don’t get too caught up with this…you made some hypocritical asserts throughout the course of your argument that actually bugs me. Don’t tell people who enjoy meat that it makes you sick while you are defending your right to eat what you want. Bad taste.
Agreed.
To each his own is what I say.
I found this rather amusing, in a saddening kind of way.
Humans are tasty. But now I need to lose some baby weight. Caused from the baby I ate. (Link)
I hope you ate an intelligent baby. Those are the best.
Especially if they’ve basted in BaconLube.
Of course! “Du bist was Du isst!”, we say here in Germany. Translates to “You are what you eat”, but in English it doesn’t rhyme. Anyway, I’m glad to have found some fellow gourmets
You know, most vegan-bashers start crying like babies when one applies their logic consequently. Such hypocrites: Their meat isn’t nearly as tender.
Awesomeness win! I rule

Alright, one of the 3 main reasons to be a vegan/vegetarian is weight control..

I cried while cutting an onion, then dropped a large squash on my foot. Then I received several cuts from some lemongrass stalks. Finally, after cutting up the habanero peppers, and seeding them with my fingers, I went to the bathroom.
YYYEEEEOOOOOWWWW!!
Veggies can put up a mean fight.
They’re even meaner than that Roadrunner.
The fruit can’t be left out, those pineapples and prickly pairs. Ow just the thought of them.
Indeed – if you cut yourself, you’d be screaming from the habaneros long before you “went to the bathroom (is that what the kids are calling it these days?)!
No no, that would be “washing the cucumber”.
You ‘washed your cucumber’ after the habanero?

Also, Tyrannosaurs became extinct because of their wussy little two-clawed excuses for arms. YOU SUCK, CARNIVORES!
I think you will find they chew actually.
But wait, you said they went extinct because of their arms correct? What were the vegetarian dinosaur’s reasons for dying off? Don’t say killed by carnivores that don’t have long arms now.
What’s your problem? ARE YOU NUTS? If carnivores go extinct, there would only be vegetarian animals, and not enough vegetables. You don’t want to live in a world like that, do you?
No, it wasn’t one of the massive extinctions that happened in the Mesozoic era… that COULDN’T be it.
Picturing a species that disappeared several million years ago is not awesome. Rather looks like a big FAIL …
If the pic showed a million killer ants or a freaking tiger, we’d be talking.

Killer ants are not even carnivors, they eat what they can get their tiny little wringly legs on.

Haha!
You’re made of meat. Maybe we should slaughter you for food & then wear your skin. How bout that?
Get a sense of humour maybe.
Get some social skills maybe? Some jokes aren’t funny. They just offend people. If it wasn’t mean spirited I would have laughed.
And I put the first comment in as a joke. What offends me about it now is that you can feel free to make fun of my lifestyle, but the second I say something back, you get all huffy.
You can wear me, sweets…on your arm as we stroll up the stairs and into the grand ballroom…
Seemed to me the joke was pretty funny. It didn’t make fun of you, it made fun of the animals.

Militant vegans, please note: Carnivores only eat meat. I don’t think anyone I know qualifies for that. We are there for Omnivores. Please make a note of that…. PLEASE… you look foolish :/
I do?
Okay fine, let me tell you what is REALLY foolish in my opinion.
If you are a vegetarian/vegan, that’s your own damn choice. Don’t expect the world to cater to you and don’t get your panties in a bunch when someone makes a comment about your lifechoice. Don’t judge others because they eat meat – it’s their choice and for goodness sake, don’t impose your beliefs on anyone either.
Signed
A Vegetarian
I agree! *squeeze*
I don’t mind what people choose to eat, but I hate the notion of being judged for my food choices. That’s the lamest thing you can hold someone accountable for, and the most insulting. I poke fun at veges and vegans, but I expect that in reciprocation. I am never serious though.
But you shield yourself from the cruelty of meat production and other animal abuse.
Now that is better. I made a huge rebuttal to your ekitty when he said he made the smarter choice but the blog ate it right up. No moderation or anything. But live and let live was its main statement.
What is right for me may not be right for you. Ya know?
Militant vegans drive me crazy. Sure I’d love it if everyone went vegan, it’d make life so much easier for me
I just don’t think that going around telling people how gross they are or lecturing them on mad cow disease while they’re eating steak is really going to make that happen. I was just saying to my hubby last night that I’m going to let my subscription to VegNews expire because they’re a bunch of loonies. Read an article last night that said eating eggs increases your chance of developing diabetes. Reasonable enough article except they insist on doing stuff like referring to eggs as chicken ova. Seriously people, it’s an egg and that’s a perfectly reasonable biological term.
How would it make your life so much easier if everyone went vegan? I don’t understand.
Because if everyone is vegan then everything on restaurant menus is vegan and all the food in the grocery store is vegan. No more meals out consisting of dry lettuce and naked baked potatoes and way less label reading in the supermarket. I know it’ll never happen but being able to go in to any restaurant and order almost anything off the menu is an awfully seductive idea
F@ck you all for this one.
Screw you Nick for this comment.
*highfive to Alice*
Is that THE alice?! I mean the, Artificial Linguistic Internet Computer Entity?
Oh my, this is amazing, can I have your autograph?
You can have my autograph, but I have NO IDEA what you’re talking about!
Search for; ALICE on google.
I have no problem with the way anyone eats…UNLESS they start on me for what I eat. Then, you better pray you can take as good as you dish out, because I will wear you doooooooooown. *L* Seriously, aren’t there better things to do in the world than watch what other people are shoving into their mouths & judging it? Sheesh!
i’m a vegetarian (have been for 15 years!! which is over half my life, turning 26 in a few days!)
anyway. i thought this was hilarious! i loled for sure. the picture of the dinosaur is great and i love the fact that there are no tags to rip off, just “keep being AWESOME!” … haha, it’s so true! who has ever heard of a non-vegetarian support group, seriously! lol. love it!!!
(i find vegetarian/vegan jokes quite often hilarious)
Your sense of humo(u)r is well respected and enjoyed! Thank you
How many vegetarians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
I don’t know but where do you get your protein?
I denounce vegetarianism until such time that free Pythagorean decoder rings are given out. At that time I may have to reconsider because decoder rings are awesome. Vegans can still drink beer, right?
Beer is made of milk – so, NO BEER FOR YOU!!!
There’s milk in beer?! I’ve been drinking something healthy? I feel dirty.
beer is rather healthy- and allegedly better for your bones than milk, due to the silicon present in beer, whilst the proteins in animal products contain much methionine, which causes bones to lose calcium. read about it on notmilk.com!
Skip the beer – go straight for the hard liquor!
I OBJECT!!!
Beer is made of malted barley, hops, water, and yeast. Stop scaring me with lies!!!
(PS: “Milk Stout” does not use milk, and “Nut Brown” does not use nuts)
You
OBJECT???? This is really bad. Poor Brewski. I am sorry, I was just making everything up. There is no milk in beer. {{{Brewski}}} … there, there. Are you gonna be okay?
Erm- bad news, the finings used in the production of most beers are from fish guts, and Guinness contains meat- and no this is not a joke
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.
I don’t think k@ notices your name.
I do have a serious question about beer. Why does it stink?
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!
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.
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@!
I do have to admit to talking to Carlsberg about this a good 12 years ago- cause I had a pub full of vegans getting upset! and at that time they used that process- things change too quick in this world for me!
Moosehead Lager, on the other hand, is exactly what it sounds like.
I like Dixie Beer
Some beers have fish guts soaking in them for part of the process.
Yeah, Beer is made of milk… And my moustache is made of spaceships.
Malted Barley, Hops, yeast, Water and Milk… and the tears of a thousand eskimos.
We used to make chilli and vegetarian surprise chilli at camp. The surprise was that it had meat in it (and half a large tin of chilli powder, which made it inedible anyway).

I know you’re in a meeting, but we’re running out of dr. Pepper and Doritos.
I gave you the last dr. Pepper.. I still have this stuff *shows a bottle with a black label and a man with golden outlines* want it?
Whatever.
I would say that’s a very funny prank but what if the vegetarians got sick? It happens.
*fixes some Pickle Surprise for Leila*
Wait a minute. I’ve read this Pickle Surprise thing in previous posts but never thought to ask. What is it exactly?
Google it.
I have a feeling that may lead her to many other, more perverse, hits…
I am pretty sure they would be blocked too. I won’t attempt it.
So, what is it?
Pretty much, it’s a guy dressed as a pickle, with some of his friends. It made me flinch, if that’s any indicaiton.
There weren’t any vegemetarians.
I know veggies can get sick. I only eat chicken and fish myself and I can’t stomach beef anymore.

It’s still on the front page. I get how this site is based on user-submissions, but come on PAN readers! A few weeks at least, so it’s not quite so fresh?
Ah, the dipshit carnivores are at large.
post-scriptum: that bulletin is a great trolling attempt, and I must say it’s very successful, since I, as an uber mensch, take it serious and answer it via your shitty site.
will meat for meat
will meet to mete out meat?
vegetables are what food eats.
reminds me of the film: American high school :p
Very few, if any human beings are true carnivores. If you eat potatoes with your steak, put pickles on your burger, or in any way consume anything not meat, you are an omnivore.
Just a little pet peeve of mine.
ack, you dinosaurs can keep yer meat, mad-cow disease, bird-flu, swine-flu, etc. I want no part of it….
Swine flu does not come from eating pigs…
No, but breeding them the way humans do to consume them enables the virus to jump the species barrier a lot easier, so it’s because of the meat-eaters that the virus managed to evolve, same with bird-flu. Intensive farming caused that virus to jump that barrier too.
no not really. eating a pigion will make you sick but not with avion flu. the species jump comes from the virus needing new hosts. not because we lock them in a pen together.
It comes from constant contact with them. A virus cannot evolve to jump a species barrier, without constantly coming into contact with the new host.
rofl epic WIN, vegans stop getting butthurt
Isn’t this from the passive-aggressive notes website?
If God didn’t intend for us to eat animals, then why did he make them out of meat?
good question, fail though, ’cause you’re made of meat too ><
Yeah, but he doesn’t taste too good. He hasn’t been grain fed.
I dunno, societal laws prevent me from chopping him into bite-size pieces and munching him…it’s a shame really
Heat Attacks: God’s revenge for eating his little furry creatures.
darn keyboard. the saying is :
“HEART ATTACKS: God’s revenge for eating his little furry creatures.”
Open-mind fail.
This was a nice comments page today. All open to all opinions.And no one got eaten today, almost but no.
How is making fun of a health food group a WIN? Grow up.
I think the real FAIL will be the heart attack Mr Carnivore has in a couple of years.
Generalization fail. Omnivores can be and are often perfectly healthy.
no. Research some health risks linked to meat and milk. Open your mind. learn.
Open yours. An omnivore diet can be as healthy as a vegetarian diet, so long as both omnivore and vegetarians are eating HEALTHY food. I’ve seen quite a few vegetarians who eat nothing but carbs, not healthy.
looks wayy fake
THIS IS SHOOPED’
shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop-a-doop, doop, doop
Hey, I’m a vegetarian. Don’t need any support! Hate fish or fowl (to eat) anyway, have hated it all my life. Yes, I have learned to eat meat… and at some point, I simply gave up. It’s not for me. Right after that came BSE, swine flu and much, much more. I think I’ll stay on this side.
It’s not even a principle (I hate drinking milk – it’s bad enough for you/me anyway): I eat cheese, eggs, don’t squeal, squeak or squeam if my food has “touched” meat – who cares? but I don’t need meat. And the animals don’t need me to eat them.
Swine flu does not come from pig consumption.
it does come from intensive farming of pigs though.
Eating meat is instinct, we have Molars for chewing and grinding Meat. Not eating Meat is A Fashion Statement. HOWEVER. I know some Veagans that do not eat meat because they think it’s gross. To me that makes more sense.
Well, actually many have argued that our flat molars are better made for grinding grains and softening tough vegetable fibers. If you look at the systems of carnivorous animals and compare them to humans, you’ll find that most of their teeth are sharp and pointed (for killing and tearing meat) and their digestive tracts are very short, as opposed to ours which are very long. The hypothesis behind this is because carnivores are meant to expel their meals shortly after consuming so as to avoid problems from the potential biohazard that is meat. Think about what would happen if you left a quarter pound of meat in a 98.5 degree environment for three days? Because that is basically what is happening in your body.
Physiology fail. You evidently have no idea now digestion works in general, let alone in specific animals. The worst part is that I just know some of my future patients will decide that some post on Failblog carries more weight than a licensed professional with four years of intense medical training…
About teeth, I find that my teeth can handle cauliflower AND a steak about equally well, and I’ve yet to see anybody with a normal mouth who can’t do the same (I was under the impression that molars are for grinding stuff in general). It’s convenient that a species that historically has consumed both plant and animal material can chew both. Perhaps we don’t have all sharp teeth because we’re not built to catch things by biting them. Birds, both herbivorous and carnivorous, don’t even HAVE teeth, yet nobody suggests that they don’t eat.
Well, you have the condescending, nasty attitude required of a physician down pat, but that’s about all, I’m afraid.
I would encourage everyone to do their own research before making decisions about their diet, and not base those kinds of decisions on opinions posted on Failblog, or snotty, pompous replies to them, as seen above.
Doctors are generally only required to take one course in nutrition during their entire academic career, and their knowledge of vegetarianism typically reflect that diligent training.
Well, I’ve had nine years of medical training and I can only absolutely agree with that. Don’t listen to your avergae doctor (let alone arrogant medical student as above) when it comes to food choices. the majority are simply narrow-minded “meatatarians” who do not care much or think outside the box. Just like the rest. Physicians are just people, that’s all, who are, for example, experienced at prescribing diabetes meds, and that’s it.
I’m a Vegetarian, btw., and I like to suggest that meat-free nutrition has many advantages – when I’m asked about it. From a health perspective (common sense and an open mind added), it is obvious that if the average person in the “developed” world ate a whole lot less meat, we’d all be a LOT better off. And that’s just the health perspective.
Carnivorous animals, including the lion, dog, wolf, cat, etc., have many unique characteristics which set them apart from all other members of the animal kingdom. They all possess a very simple and short digestive system — only three times the length of their bodies. This is because flesh decays very rapidly, and the products of this decay quickly poison the bloodstream if they remain too long in the body. So a short digestive tract was evolved for rapid expulsion of putrefactive bacteria from decomposing flesh, as well as stomachs with ten times as much hydrochloric acid as non-carnivorous animals (to digest fibrous tissue and bones). Meat-eating animals that hunt in the cool of the night and sleep during the day when it is hot do not need sweat glands to cool their bodies; they therefore do not perspire through their skin, but rather they sweat through their tongues. On the other hand, vegetarian animals, such as the cow, horse, zebra, deer, etc., spend much of their time in the sun gathering their food, and they freely perspire through their skin to cool their bodies. But the most significant difference between the natural meat-eaters and other animals is their teeth. Along with sharp claws, all meat-eaters, since they have to kill mainly with their teeth, possess powerful jaws and pointed, elongated, “canine” teeth to pierce tough hide and to spear and tear flesh. They do NOT have molars (flat, back teeth) which vegetarian animals need for grinding their food. Unlike grains, flesh does not need to be chewed in the mouth to predigest it; it is digested mostly in the stomach and the intestines. A cat, for example, can hardly chew at all.
Human characteristics are in every way like the fruit eaters, very similar to the grass- eater, and very unlike the meat eaters, as is clearly shown in the table above. The human digestive system, tooth and jaw structure, and bodily functions are completely different from carnivorous animals. As in the case of the anthropoid ape, the human digestive system is twelve times the length of the body; our skin has millions of tiny pores to evaporate water and cool the body by sweating; we drink water by suction like all other vegetarian animals; our tooth and jaw structure is vegetarian; and our saliva is alkaline and contains ptyalin for predigestion of grains. Human beings clearly are not carnivores by physiology — our anatomy and digestive system show that we must have evolved for millions of years living on fruits, nuts, grains, and vegetables.
Okay, that’s all nice and interesting and whatnot – but um. Noone I have ever heard of argued that a human was a Carnivore. There is a very well-defined and perfectly valid category for us humans, and those with similar physiological structures. – It’s called Omnivore. We ARE omnivores. There is no debate on this topic. We possess both means and biological preferences for consuming both plant AND animal flesh. This is not a contestable fact.
The only debate is whether or not limiting your Omnivorous diet into a purely Herbivorous diet is a good idea or not. Generally – it has ups and downs, as does every other choice a human will ever make in their life span.
I am not even vegetarian and I absolutely despise this attitude that meat eaters display on a regular basis. It’s so uncalled for and stupid.
Nice attitude.
Back atcha
Look around you. There are always extremists on either side of the discussion. There are a lot of vegans with a terrible attitude too.
I was a vegetarian for seven years. During that time, I was very careful to never impose my diet choices on anyone else. I didn’t even talk about it unless I was asked. The amount of aggression, hate, unsolicited advice, and idiotic opinions spouted my way during that time boggled my mind. Even though I eat fish now, I still believe that if done right, vegetarianism is the healthiest way to eat. It just always amazed me how people would react to how I chose to live my life. Yes, there are very vicious vegans around. There are also militant Christians and Muslims and meat eaters. That kind of attitude is not useful when promoting any kind of lifestyle, in my opinion.
This is exactly how I feel. Well-said.
just go vegetarian then
Working my way back there!
Fashion? Whoa no. It’s dumb. You’re not only killing animals, you’re killing the planet.
So what? are you going to go into the African jungle to talk to lions about how bad it is to eat meat? On second that, please go have that conversation.
No, for the same reason I don’t force my cat to eat a vegetarian diet. It’s not bad for them to eat meat. Their digestive tracts are made specifically for it.
and besides… vegetarians never need a wimpy support group. Only hamburger eaters do.
In Amsterdam, we used to have “Wimpy” and McDonalds on two sides of the same street. No whoppers for me, though.
My opinion based on observation is that If everyone had to kill what they ate there’d be more vegetarians. And I’ve often wondered, if everyone had to eat what they killed, would there be less wars?
There would be a lot more bugs and a lot less abortions.
Ewwwww, eating bugs and babies.
Killing only what one eats would be a return to how humans had been doing it until modernity. It would probably be a good thing healthwise, as we’d have to exercise to try to kill something and eat less meat because catching animals can be very difficult.
If one kills a mood, is it vegan?
That’s awesome, I’m going to remember that
lolzzzzz thiz maid my day XDDDDDDDD
hello my friends is my first time to visiting your site, wow is agreats site and a greats articles in here, i’m glad to be read in here, thanks for your share information
I am SO angry right now! If this picture had said FAIL, then I would have appreciated it and maybe laughed, but Win? This is an epic fail for FailBlog. I hate how meat-eaters are so hateful to vegetarians and vegans! Hey carnivores, maybe you’d live longer and have less risk of cancer and obesity if you didn’t listen to stupid ads like this! Do you see vegans posting hate pictures about meat-eaters? No! I don’t usually get angry easily, but: Anyone who voted this thumbs-up SUCKS BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
Wah, wah, wah! Maybe some meat would make you a little less cranky & able to take a joke. Go sit ‘n spin on a carrot.
actually, dawnieangel, violence is attributed to meat eating.
Dear graham:
Reply WIN!!!
LMAO! Show me non-correlational research that is not hand(grain)fed to you from PETA please
Vegetarians/vegans can take a joke. I make jokes at my own expense all the time. Unfortunately, this wasn’t very funny. It was just judgemental and honestly wasn’t. very. funny.
I guess the person who shouted obscenities at me the other day for having the audacity for getting a vaccine (“THAT KILLED INNOCENT BABY CHICKENS!”) doesn’t count as a “hate picture”, but it’s still asinine. Oh, never mind the PETA literature that one of the people in our apartment complex insists on posting EVERYWHERE, including on my door (with tape that rips the paint). Turns out that us omnivorous (I’ve yet to meet someone who only ate meat) get some stupidity from people on your end, too.
Here’s a hint for keeping your blood pressure low: ignore a$$holes. If you rant back at them, it just encourages them. This includes commenting on FB (in my book, anybody who post consists solely of “I’m offended” deserves whatever they get). For well-meaning people who won’t drop it, politely thank them for their concern then either walk away or refuse to talk about it more. It’s really none of their business, meat-eater or not. Also, if an angry-looking person is carrying a sign, don’t stop to talk even if they try to get your attention.
Okay, I’ve calmed down a lot since I wrote my last comment, but I still find this extremely offensive.
I have yet to see a vegetarian/vegan insult a meat-eater for their diet. If you want an example of how things really are:
I’m the only vegetarian in my class. 80% of the people in my class insult me because of it, and make extremely offensive jokes about vegetarians and vegetarianism. One time, someone threw a hot dog at my face.
I know two other vegetarians, and they are two of the nicest people I’ve ever known. One of my best friends is vegetarian, and I have NEVER seen her insult someone, make a rude comment, or act bitter toward someone for anything, and that includes for eating meat.
In short, it’s only meat-eaters insulting vegetarians I’ve seen, never the other way around.
And I do not think this picture is funny at all, even if I didn’t find it offensive it wouldn’t be funny.
If you take the time to read all the comments in this thread you will see plenty of bad manners on both sides and also plenty of good natured ribbing from both sides as well. The problem is, and always has been in any area, extremists on either side. Your decision to not eat meat and my decision to eat meat say nothing about either of us except our dietary preferences. You should not label “meat eaters” as the people always on the attack. You should take every person on theier own merit. Chances are, if someone is being a jerk about you deciding to not eat meat, it stems from them being a jerk, not from them being one of the “evil omnivores”. In my experience students “generally young people with little realworld experience” tend to be the most close minded about a lot of stuff. School can be a hard time if you dont agree with the mainstream and are vocal about. Don’t let it wear you down.
I’m not saying that ALL people who eat meat are rude, I’m simply saying that in my experience, I’ve only seen meat-eaters act hateful toward vegetarians, not the other way around. Most of my friends eat meat (it would be hard to find friends if I could only be friends with vegetarians!) and they are great people. But I am saying that I’ve only seen negativity from the omnivorous side. I’m not at all stating that ALL people who eat meat are bad.
Sorry if you misinterpreted that.
I feel the same way – though it doesn’t make me angry (not worth the energy) it does make me a little sad that people can’t just be tolerant of the lifestyle choices of others.
I know. Society thinks it’s come so far from the days when everyone was discriminated one way or another, but you’ll still find people who think that if anyone lives a lifestyle ANY different from theirs, that it makes them bad people. Homosexuals have a ton of problems thrown at them from society, religious debates cause tension and fights, and racism DOES still exist, it’s just more hidden away. My opinion is: Just let people live their lives the way they WANT to! (Unless they’re serial killers
And you can see this everywhere. In fact, I saw someone who was 12 years old (at the time, he’s not now) tell another person that he was going to hell because he was Jewish. It’s sad, people. REALLY sad.
Are you sure that really happened? I can’t believe you are going to be a doctor, if you actually are a med student. If so, I feel sorry for your future patients!
Offers up a carrot stick to calm her nerves. It goes both ways I guess. Meat eaters making fun of vegetarians. and vegetarians making morel objection to meat eaters.
They’re not being hateful. All they said was carnivores are awesome. That’s not very hateful.
It’s not like they actually defaced the vegans’ sign. They just posted a sign about how awesome eating meat is.
hammykins, your correct. It was in a way making fun of the vegan poster, no denying that. The poster its the posters that make things worse. Trust me, there is no end to an argument of vegetarianism/veganism to eating meat, but mainly in my experience, the vegetarians and vegans have more solid evidence and argument standpoint, rather than the godfreak tooth expert meat eaters.
It was degrading and rude. That’s hateful.
People are so ignorant … It’s sad to see this kind of behavior and Failblog failed by encouraging it.
Yup, people ARE ignorant…especially those who can’t take an obvious, freaking joke.
Sorry if you’ve come up against some vegohaters. Perhaps I would be offended too if I’d had a rough time because of what I choose to eat, but the worst I get is “Why don’t you eat meat?” “Factory famrming” “Oh, whatevs.”
I’m vegetarian (and avoid eggs and dairy most of the time) and I found this hilarious! I actually lol’d, I truly laughed out loud.
Humans have been hunters, eating meat for how long? About 2.5 million years?
And how old are things like vegetarianism? Maybe around the 1800′s and more footed around 1960?
Sure less meat was eaten until somewhere around the 1900′s when transportation and refrigeration became easier. That is the only reason, as it goes bad.
Not to say one way a person chooses to eat is right or wrong, good or bad. However, I eat whatever I feel like because it’s nature and you can attempt to argue that if you want, but you’ll fail cause it’ll never change. I’m not outside the food chain. If you think you’re above it, get into a life or death situation and don’t bother trying to argue special cercumstances. You are either what you say you are, or you aren’t.
My girlfriend I live with is a vegetarian. She has stomach problems constantly and pops vitamins and supplements all the time trying to replace things she’d get naturally. No thanks.
According to her meat makes her sick to even think about eating. What’s funny is she’s sick not eating it also.
Yeah I know what you mean. My beef (pun intended) is that factory farming has skewed this picture. If I knew that my meal had grown up in a paddock then led away and killed quickly, I’d be much more likely to eat it. But I don’t want to contribute to the demand for farm animals to be trucked around and penned up.
I feel as healthy as when I ate meat — I get protein and iron from vegetable sources — but I do miss the taste and texture of a good steak!
It’s time I ate some mock duck, that stuff is one of the wonders of modern science.
Sorry to choose your post to post this in reply to, I just wanted to put this out there.
tradition doesnt make it right man. For example, indias cast systems.
I DEMAND A WINBLOG.ORG !
Caps off.
Vegan does not approve.
Vegans need a reality (and biology) check….
Men are from Mars
Women are from Venus
Vegans secretly unhinge their jaws and swallow rodents whole – oops, sorry, that’s Sirians (from V), but they’re probably related.
Look up the song “Carrot Juice is Murder” by the Arrogant Worms, sometime…. Shows the absurdity of veganism by taking the concept and applying it to eating plants instead…
Fail
A human being can’t be a carnivore, it would die of various dietary deficiencies.
The word this pseudo-masculine, intellectual midget was probably looking for was “omnivore.” Someone should take his computer away and give him a biology textbook.
We’ll there’s obviously a dinosaur on the bulletin, who’s to say that’s not to whom this was addressed? A human CAN be a carnivore, and they’re going to die of something at some point anyway. Where does masculinity fit into this at all? Intellectual midgetry and inappropriate nomenclature aside, this bulletin rocked your whole entire world. Someone should take your computer away and give you nothing.
My primary argument against the assertion that this paper was addressed to a dinosaur is that dinosaurs are rather demonstrably extinct, and if not so, then at least illiterate. Addressing a piece of paper to a creature of either such quality would be rather foolish, and would deserve far more spiffily vicious ad hominem than my assertion that this paper’s author was a pseudo-masculine intellectual midget.
As for masculinity, when I look at this picture, I see a member of an omnivorous species trying to compare himself (I presume maleness based upon previous interactions with similarly minded individuals) to a Tyrannosaurus Rex, which, though now believed to have been a scavenger, is both rather masculine and generally badass. From this I presume an erroneous connection in the mind of the author between himself and such qualities.
And finally, no, a human being could not be a carnivore, even if it did attempt a carnivorous diet and die of a consequent arginine deficiency. The words carnivorous, omnivorous, and herbivorous are correctly applied to species, not individuals. If I took a newborn crocodile and let it starve to death without ever having eaten a thing, it would still die a carnivorous animal, because crocodiles are a carnivorous species. Meat-eating humans are no more carnivorous than vegetarians are herbivores, because homo sapiens are an omnivorous species.
Hitler was a strict vegetarian.
why would people want to be like Hitler?
Hitler also had hands and wore pants. Guess we better cut that shit out.
And P.S., no. He wasn’t. But nice try.
Unfortunately my woman reads failblog(Ari). *sigh*
Don’t worry baby, will feed you some meat later when you’re home from work lil miss vegetarian. That should fill at least one of you dietary deficiencies for today.
Hah, I’m a guy, but nice try with the ad hominem. Keep practicing – eventually you might manage to actually insult someone.
Someone besides yourself, that is, seeing as how you just called yourself gay.
Haha! My woman came home for lunch at the time you posted and I was walking the dog. I figured that was her! Funny tho
Hahah, wow, disagreements aside, that is funny.
Hilter was not a strict vegetarian.
He learned how a vegetarian diet is the healthiest of diets and therefore wanted to convert and “perfect his people”. He promoted a vegetarian diet, but was a hypocrit because he had a weakness for & ordered his favorite meat dishes often.
He was also a dog owner and was anti-tobacco. Guess those things are bad, too.
Way to invoke Godwin’s Law. Reductio ad Hitlerum, indeed.
you are a stupid piece of shit and clearly a lot of people agree with your opinions so…your point?
Point being, you’re contributing nothing to the conversation, and acting rather immature by your insults.
He wasn’t but that being your argument, should we go into how many murderous dictators were meat eaters? Hint: The stats aren’t in your favor.
I think this is one of the best wins ive ever seen
Have you actually seen any other wins on failblog?….
the more i see things like this, the more excited i am to start college.
For Great Justice
Carnivores will need a support group when they get cancer from all the meat they eat. Let’s see how awesome they feel when they loose 5 feet of their large intestine.
What about the wheat that you eat that can aggrivate celiac disease? Or the E. coli you can get from your greens? Or the atafloxin on your peanuts?
There are dangers to every type of diet. Just because one eats meat does not mean that one will develop cancer. That is a scare tactic that came from misinterpretting data. Vegans can develop colon cancer too.
I despise fear mongering on either side of the debate. Quite frankly, I’m an omnivore but I wouldn’t hold someone’s diet choices against them… as long as they understand that my diet choices are in fact MY choice.
By the way, if you lost 5 feet of your large intestine, you wouldn’t have a large intestine any more.
Do you know what used to be the main cause of stomach cancer (Which used to be very high in mortality causes)? Grains (Well, mis-stored grains that grew bad things and then were eaten). However, I would never use that as an argument that grains cause cancer. That would be *silly*. Same goes for claiming beef as bad when it is the cooking method. Please read complete original articles rather than PETA blips or headlines. Thanks.
I’m a vegetarian and think this is hilarious.
Also I don’t have any stomach problems or have to pop pills, for whoever was talking about that. I have totally normal blood count levels and have plenty of energy. Being vegetarian really isn’t that hard or a big deal, as long as you know the balance of food you should eat.
Anyway, I just do it because it’s a way to be more environmentally-conscious. Note this doesn’t mean I don’t approve of omnivorism or whatever. It’s just something I think is easy to do to help.
Clarification: I find it easy for me to adjust my diet to be vegetarian, so I might as well do what’s better for the environment anyway.
Geez, I’m a clarity fail all my own tonight. :/
I find it funny when non-meat eaters claim those who do eat meat will die because of it. My great grandfather ate more meat than I’ve ever seen anyone pack away. He also ate all the fat and gristle eww. He lived to be 88 and did NOT die from natural causes. Great grandmother didn’t eat much better and she died at 86. My grandfather eats plenty of meat and is still alive, the old bastard. I am not worried. Just a few of the family. There’s an argument for pretty much everything. There are plenty of people with a very balanced diet and plenty of exercise who die at a young age of things like a heart attack. When I die, at least I will have done what I want. You don’t want to eat meat? Good for you, but don’t push your crap on me. I don’t tell you to eat meat.
back to the main topic, the carnivore picture: truer words have never been said
All carnivores say I
I!
I personally have a diet of Arbies sandwiches, steaks, various forms of jerky(Alligator is friggin’ amazing!), Gatorade, rock candy, milk, and Mountain Dew. My diet is mostly meat based but every once in a while, a salad is ok. Add ranch, cheese, and bacon and a garden salad is decent.
Isn’t it say ‘aye’? as in ‘yes’? I like your version though
BTW I say ‘nay’. Veggie here.
REAL-LIFE TROLL FTW!
I used to be vegetarian. and then vegan for a bit.
But this is still the biggest WIN ever. I’m still lawlzin.
real life troll FTW!
So I’m a vegetarian but I’d like to start out by saying that I am NOT one of those self-righteous PETA pricks that think it’s ok to call anyone who has ever eaten meat a terrible person and a murderer.
I personally choose not to eat meat because I feel that killing animals for food is unnecessary in today’s society, and therefore I have opted for a more “cruelty-free” diet, as I personally feel that slaughtering animals to eat when there are so many other food options is wrong. But that’s my own choice and I also think that while I feel vegetarianism has its benefits, everyone has the right to have their own opinions and eat as they see fit.
My hope is that just as I, along with the vast majority of the vegetarians/vegans that I know, respect the choice of those who eat meat, meat-eaters will in turn respect the choice of vegetarians. It’s pictures like this and comments like those I’ve been seeing on this thread that force vegetarians to defend themselves and start giving arguments for vegetarianism. The original poster wasn’t attacking people who eat meat, but simply reaching out to those who have made the decision to cut animal products out of their diet. The second poster, therefore, is just rude and unnecessary. If the vegan poster had said something to the effect of “have you evolved past the level of barbaric meat-eaters and moved toward a way of life that is far superior to that of carnivores” then I would, despite my vegetarianism, be in full support of the second poster.
Now to the vegetarianism debate happening on this thread:
1. It is possible to be a perfectly healthy human whether or not you eat meat. It’s a question of how well you balance your diet. A vegetarian who gets no protein and eats only vegetables is certainly not healthy, but neither is the person who eats a 12oz steak 3 meals a day.
2. Obviously humans are capable of eating and digesting meat, or there wouldn’t be so many people living who eat so much meat. However, this isn’t to say necessarily that humans MUST eat meat, or even that they should.
3. Due to the high amounts of saturated fats in red meat, and the disgusting amount of hormones and antibiotics pumped into factory farm animals (where most of you probably get your meat from), meat is actually fairly unhealthy. You can have a perfectly healthy diet that includes meat, but in my opinion, a well-balanced vegetarian diet (in which beans, soy, etc. are consumed to replace the protein that would otherwise come from meat,) is on average healthier. But that’s one of the reasons why I became a vegetarian. I also think that everyone else can do whatever they want.
So what I’m trying to get at is that everyone should just do their own thing and let everyone else do as they wish. I think vegetarians, in the minority, would be less likely to “push” their beliefs on everyone else if meat-eaters wouldn’t attack vegetarianism so much. At least vegetarians have moved away from the status quo and tried to do something they feel is right. It’s an actual cause. Meat-eaters who post shit like the sign in the picture and the majority of the people that wrote on this thread are just tools who can’t stand for anyone to disagree with them, and many are probably afraid of questioning the morality of their diet because they’re too selfish to give up McDonalds.
(This wasn’t even close to my actual argument for vegetarianism, which is more persuasive but not needed in this scenario. I only got preachy to defend the attacks all of you people have made on a group that’s just trying to live with a little more harmony with other living things.)
I’ve gotta give you mad props for this very eloquent and level-headed comment.
While I appreciate your viewpoint, you generalize far too much. It is far more likely that the bulletin board poster was placed as a tribute to humor – not as an attack on anyone whatsoever. The message wasn’t intended as “Vegan’s Suck!” it was “T-Rex is a BADASS!”. It’s this auto-defensive mentality of “that’s so insensitive and uncalled for” that is causing so much debate. This was a wonderfully well played joke and harmed noone. The issue of vegan/vegetarian diet vs a more typical omnivorous diet should, in my opinion, be irrelevant in its entirety to this posting. I personally found the sentiment of “T-Rex is a BADASS!” to be quite entertaining, as was intended, and got a fair amount of humor out of it, which was unfortunately tempered by the many, MANY ill-tempered “I’m offended and want to ruin your humor with my sourpussness” comments that followed.
That being said – I appreciate you at least using a level-headed message in your post as opposed to raging like so many idiots tend to do. But I disagree with your viewpoint that “vegetarians, in the minority, would be less likely to “push” their beliefs on everyone else if meat-eaters wouldn’t attack vegetarianism so much.” I find far more propaganda and attacking from the Vegan side of the fence – most unprovoked. And I find the majority of “attacks” made by meat eaters to be rib-jabbing good humor, and in the majority of cases, not a heartfelt sentiment of the person.
I personally joke about extremist vegan’s all the time – That doesn’t mean I don’t respect their decision, It’s just another one of the thousands of things that are just begging to be teased. I’ve actually considered a vegetarian or vegan diet myself, and may yet switch eventually. I find it irresponsible and downright rude of the vegans and vegetarians replying to this post in such a negative manner. Take a joke, or get quietly offended and move on. It’s intended as internet humor, and by its very nature is definitively crude.
TLDR Version: Nice post. I kindly disagree. Can we get back to the awesomeness of T-Rex now?
i’m a vegetarian and have been for some time…but this cracks me up. sounds like something my dad would say. people who go vegetarian have their own reasons for doing so and i in no way discourage the consumption of meat…just the hormones & antibiotics that are used in the growth of farm animals these days. it’s a personal choice, no need for either side to attack or freak out!
I’ll grant that most vegans I’ve met are pretty hot. I wish I had the strength to eat that stuff on a daily basis. however I’ll warn you all never go on a road trip with a vegan. They has deadly farts.
Anyone can have deadly farts. Asparagus and beans can conjure some farts with an unholy vengeance. However, a colon full of impacted protein due to meat consumption can blow some deadly farts, too.
Not to mention instigate colon/rectal cancer.
I’m not saying that all people who eat meat will get colon/rectal cancer. Just people who eat meat in an Atkin’s Diet sort of way. Sorry if that came off wrong.
Lol, colon impacted with protien? Please! Stop wAtching late night night infomercials
i’ve noticed that alot of these comments either contain big words or a very long, or both.
EXAMPLE: Becca about 3 comments up from mine. It took me about 40 minutes to read through this whole thing.
so?
Spitting on somebody elses lunch is just not cool. However, people should take this things less seriously…
A healthy diet NEEDS meat (I’ve being doing my research, and my uncle and grandfather are doctors, so I know what I’m saying) as well as vegetables.
There is no need for ANYBODY to step on a pedestal and question the “morality” of somebody else’s lunch… That is just “hollier than thou” bullshit…
Your second paragraph negates your first and third.
If healthy diets need meat, I wonder how all of these vegans are doing so well… and why meat is increasingly shown to be connected to cancer and other diseases.
If your father and grandfather really told you that diets need meat to be healthy, they are not fit to be doctors.
Been a lacto-ovo vegetarian for a little over seven years.
I choose to distance myself from PETA’s radical methods of promoting animal welfare, but I can say that they have made notable strides within legislation and industry for animals that I am glad to see.
However, I feel that anyone is awesome regardless of their diet, as long as their diet/lifestyle does not hurt their selves or others.
I just sent this picture to my vegan sister
Chicken is delicious!! =D
Vegetarianism and Veganism are commonly used to disguise eating disorders such as anorexia.
LOL!!! Where have you got your facts from??!
I was 5 stone overweight as a meat-eater. Now I am a healthy weight. I lost the weight by changing my habits and having to take more care over my diet. I didn’t turn veg to lose weight, or exercise more, it just happened when I started becoming more aware of what i ate.
Just cause you are a veggie does not mean you can get away with not eating in public. People are more attentive and aware of your habits if anything, especially if you are eating a different meal or if they are cooking for you. I HATE not being able to eat out, left to watch meat-eaters tuck in. It’s so rude, and I get HUNGRY dammit.
My veggie/vegan friends are healthy as a result of a more careful diet, controlled protiens and carbs etc. Not that veggies=healthier than meat eaters by any means, we just generally have to work harder at staying healthy.
Anyway, FU I guess!
“I was 5 stone overweight as a meat-eater. Now I am a healthy weight. I lost the weight by changing my habits and having to take more care over my diet.”
What was wrong with changing your diet while still eating meat? It could have been done without sacrificing that Whopper Jr.
“I HATE not being able to eat out, left to watch meat-eaters tuck in. It’s so rude, and I get HUNGRY dammit.”
So eat meat. You’re not gonna’ kill yourself if you have a burger, you’ll kill yourself if you have 20 of them.
“Not that veggies=healthier than meat eaters by any means”
Exactly. Most vegans are physically weaker (cannot lift, carry & pull more than Omnivores).
“we just generally have to work harder at staying healthy.”
By all means, work harder at maintaining a diet which is probably the same as eating 1 steak & 2 burgers & calling it a day. Vegetarianism is rather pointless & extremely unnecessary unless you want to be called Herbs all your life. (Believe me, that’s a BAD thing.)
“People are more attentive and aware of your habits if anything, especially if you are eating a different meal or if they are cooking for you.”
Well, if you’re stuck eating plants all the time, then they will assume one of 2 things. Anorexia & stomach problems.
All you hippy vegans can kiss my ass, I’ll keep eating meat!
I’m a vegetarian…I find this hilarious!!!
WoW feasting trolls
Those are the cries of the carrots brother Maynard. The cries of the carrots. For you see, tomorrow harvest day. And to them, it IS the holocaust.
Well, I eat Veggies & Meat but I’d have to say that I’d pick about 15 White Castles over Cole Slaw & Guacamole any day of the week. Meat just tastes better. It’s a fact that the human body requires a healthy meat intake to promote better muscle tissue growth. It’s also on the food pyramid. I guess that doesn’t make it that much of a bad thing if it’s required to make you grow healthy & strong. Every Vegan I know is physically weaker than I am & they are extremely skinny.
What about the growing number of people that are allergic to soy, wheat, etc? How many people are out that are allergic to beef?
Mmmm, beef.
your my new buddy goondar
“Well, the comment WOULD be hilarious… if it weren’t for the fact that some people actually “feel good” about their omnivorism reading this kind of lame shit.”
Omnivores have a MUCH more healthy intake than either pure carnivores or pure herbivores. This is fact. Get off the plants & have a McChicken.
“I do gym, weight lifting, martial arts, I run and I study. I even played rugby for a while. And all being not vegetarian, but hardcore vegan. Needless to say I feel great.”
Yeah? Well, I’m a martial artist and an exercise fanatic as well & I will tell you that by training so hard & depriving your body of any form of meat intake is the same as depriving it of water in the middle of the desert. If you know weight lifting, then you know that a meat intake is required. Your body is able to incorporate it easier, promoting faster healing & recovery.
“So, Galileo teaches us that reality owns science…”
However, science is also reality, it being the study of all things and all.
“As far as I’m concerned, the girl and the pig have the same right to live and to welfare.”
However, I’d eat the pig. Bacon tastes & smells pretty good.
“I want to “convert” as many people as I can not because I really care about what you do in your private life, but because what you do is going to affect other living beings.”
Another vegan fanatic. Your decisions may affect other beings but it is their choice whether to follow you or not. You’d be pretty arrogant to just walk up to a person & say “Let me convert him & open his eyes” as if you are all knowing when clearly, you’re a vegan. We’ll eat the good stuff while you guys eat the plants. It’s as simple as that.
Vegans are usually worse than Christians when it comes to intolerance of people who are different.
It’s sad that so many are douchebags and give the ones that aren’t bad names.
um, this is totally retarded. should be a FAIL not a win.
I’m gonna eat a baby Koala for lunch. Then I’m gonna go outside and kick the shit outta the first plant I see.
That is freakin’ hilarious!
stickin in to ‘em win
=)
i couldn’t stop laughing! whoever put that on the bulletin board is my hero!
almost everything nowdays cause you cancer
not only meat also, but what an unhealthy diet
been extreme on any side. Meat and veggies
should keep together in a diet
Both taste good!
Just because the veggies have no face, can’t
tell if they are suffering by heat, steam.
Have fun
Uhhh, what?
Well, I would think it would be difficult for vegetables to feel pain, as they are not sentient nor do they posess a nervous system.
SCIENCE FAIL.
Except that they are alive & require nutrients to sustain itself nonetheless.
vegetarians claim animals suffer
do vegetables don’t suffer just
because you can’t watch any pain
due to the lack of ‘face’?
How is being a meat-eater so awesome and rebellious when over 95% of people eat meat? And how is simply being a vegetarian or vegan whiney? This win is fail.
It’s a boring day – I’ve got nothing to do
Except to get a load of retards and drive em to the zoo
Oh oh oh takin’ retards to the zoo
Load ‘em on a bus just for laughs
Down a winding road stepping on the gas
Down a winding road just to stay dreaming
Down a winding road with the retards screaming
Oh oh oh takin’ retards to the zoo
One of them blowing a big spit bubble
Slam on the brakes at the first sign of trouble
Head on collision bodies everywhere
Head on collision retards beware
Oh oh oh takin’ retards to the zoo
Hey genius: read the ad. It advertises as a non-judgemental group. Just telling people you’re vegan or vegetarian isn’t a judgement against meat-eaters; they’re only talking about their own lifestyle. Maybe it’s the omnivorses that call us names and baselessly attack us who need to lighten up.
loving the poster of pure WIN
our bodies are naturally geared to consume meat, nuts, berries and vegetation, we’re omnivores… being vegetarian isn’t natural.
start enjoying being the dominant species of the planet and not wasting your time being a misguided Veggie or Vegan or whatever the hell it is
Thankyou
Of course – being vegetarian isn’t natural. Stuffing our faces with corpses that have been pumped full of hormones and antibiotics is the natural way to go.
Eat meat if you want, but don’t act like vegetarians are going against nature by opting to live a more cruelty-free life.
Plants are just as alive as animals are. Just because you can’t see their horror-filled expressions as you consume them doesn’t mean it’s any more right to feast upon them.
How many plants had to die for your salad? How many cows had to die for my steak? Let’s just not eat anything anymore, and call it finished.
The difference is that plants can’t think and can’t feel pain….more plants go into your cow, than into a salad – so you’d do greater damage in the end
Who is to say that plants cannot feel pain? Just because they lack a nervous system doesn’t mean they lack intelligence.
Evolution says that plants cannot feel pain. Your nerves are there to respond to stimuli. Having nerves without the ability to respond to (i.e. move away from) a negative stimulus is less than useful, and since nothing evolves without good reason…..I’ll let you do the math (or biology)
Yet, evolution is only a theory that has yet to be proven. Kind of like gravity (call me a nut because I don’t believe in it).
Pain is defined as a signal of present or impending tissue damage affected by a harmful stimulus, and thus is experienced by almost all multicellular organisms. The question isn’t whether or not plants feel pain, the question is why is it okay to cause pain to plants but not animals? Keep in mind not all plants react to pain in the same way. Not all animals feel pain the same way (e.g. lobsters). This is part of a much more complex argument. We need to ask some tough questions. Is it wrong to harm people? Do plants and animals have the same rights as people (to be free from harm)? Do they have any rights at all? What kind of diet is within our nature and why should we second-guess doing what is natural? Good luck.
I’m not gonna argue the point of evolution, pointless considering your thoughts on gravity.
Actually, in the scientific community pain is defined as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage”…
I’d like to highlight the word SENSORY here. Therefore, without sensory neurons….I’ll leave the rest to logic
Well, you’re a nut. See if you can jump in the air and fly to the sun. Gravity is as real as your lack of neurons.
Idiot. Plants are alive as well.
I like to believe that our bodies are geared more to a vegetarian diet, due to the fact that our cousins, the greater apes, eat more than 97% plant based diets.
Being the dominant species does not mean you have to be an a$$hole to other species.
hey we are humans we have power over animals i mean tigers lions bears sharks and snakes eat other animals so why should we chew on leaves while Simba and smokey the bear are having meat.
SUCK IT MUDDA FUGGAS! The person that posted this needs to uhh I dont know, actually READ something
I’m a vegetarian and I have to admit… I chuckled at this…
I say if every one cares sooo much about plants and animals feelingsthey should become librarians and eat books…
BTW very funny WIN!
Carnivore: Eat the pray alive or freshly killed (by the carnivore itself).
Man does not do this. Man CANNOT do this due to its metabolism.
Man eat meat that have been laying around for quite some time.
That makes us omnivores AT BEST. More likely plain scavengers (from the meat eating prospective). But we seem to manage as herbivores so why not stay that way? What is the loss?
Suckers.
Man “can’t” eat freshly killed meat due to society, not due to metabolism.
Loved the post, but doesn’t anyone out there consider that most vegetarians are choosing not to eat meat out of responsibility to the planet. If your raising your own meat, butchering it yourself, or bucking up for responsibly produced meat this rant is not for you.
I challenge any of you to read the Rolling stone article on pork production in the Southeast, and not feel a serious gut check. Every year this company butchers, processes and packages the equivalent of the population of the USA’s largest cities. Animal production for food is destroying the planets ecosystems, endangering our water supply, and is the least sustainable way to produce food the world has ever seen.
If you are not eating grass fed, free range organic meat, you are f’ing up the planet for the rest of us.
Our diet of mass produced meat and effluent is killing all of us slowly. Try a bean or a lentil once in a while.
As Kunstler says – this is a long emergency.
Kunstler says a lot of stupid, delusional crap. At least you were more concise about it.
Wow! The planet earth has managed to survive without you and Kunstler around to take care of it. I bet it’ll keep on doing so long after you and I are gone.
I think you need to do a little research.
Cats are obligate carnivores and the last time I checked, Fluffy next door eats her “fresh kills” out of a can.
As for man being unable to eat a fresh kill, that is ridiculous. When I fish, I don’t leave my meat out to age. I eat it asap. When I lived near a farm, we would eat beef that had just been slaughtered. And I mean just slaughtered, it came in a bucket washed in blood and was still warm. I also know a lot of people who hunt and they eat fresh unaged meat frequently. And if you have any other question about a human’s ability to eat fresh meat, look at Bear Grylls. He ate that salmon while it was still flipping about.
Freshness of the meat or who makes the kill does not matter.
Whatever “research” you’ve done, is incorrect…
No person in their right mind would ever AGE FISH! Fish and meat are entirely different substances, and fish having been aged, is fish gone off! The fresher the fish, the better, indeed that’s correct.
But meat is always better aged: FACT
There is no doubt that aged, hanged meat, is entirely superior to freshly killed meat. Less blood: better!
I’m not arguing with the fact we can eat meat fresh, of course we can, I’m backing you up there, the only reason we don’t eat meat immediately after killing it (and this applies to meat alone, not fish!) is that, when it is aged, it tastes better.
Reason, salmon is not meat, I’m not sure whether you’ve made this conclusion yourself, or heard it from Bear Grylls, but either way, it’s wrong… Bear Grylls is an actor and nothing more
Take it from a wordivore – that’s a made up word for “English Major” – learn how to form a sentence and then maybe we can talk.
What is a WIN doing on FAILblog? o.o
Oh well. It’s still an Epic Win, 8D
nevermind… o.o
Still an epic win!
Hahaha, I just read all the comments and it made me soooo hungry! Chili for dinner tonight!
I’m such a carnivore that I’m currently eating a sandwich that consists of no less than THREE dead animals! AND cheese, which is made from milk, and it probably pinched the cow alittle to get that out of her.
Vegans punch kittens and cause cancer in small children, so I’ve heard.
vegans may do all those things but you are so ugly you scare small kittens and children to DEATH
hmmm is Brad Pitt ugly? Pam Anderson, Natalie Portman (vegan), Joaquin Pheinox (vegan), Alicia Silverstone(vegan), Allyisa Milano, Anne Hathaway, Avril Lavigne(vegan), Brooke Shields, Carrie Underwood, Christian Bale, Orlando Bloom, Shania Twain, etc.. the list goes on and on. However, there are vegetarians that don’t meet todays standards of beauty. The fact that they are indeed veg or vegan makes them attractive nonetheless.
http://www.happycow.net/famous_vegetarians.html
They may not be ugly, but they sure are stupid. No wonder you look up to them.
They should change the name to Screen Actors Cult, ‘cuz Nut SAG just doesn’t have the same ring to it!
All you people need to turn off your computers and go outside.
Agreed. I personally have nothing against vegans or vegitarians. I still found this funny.
To the vegans/vegitarians:
You guys needa lighten up a little. Acting like over-serious ‘My way is the only way’ only makes people laught at you. A lot.
I couldn’t agree more.
How about eat anything that
doesn’t eat you first to solve
this issue?
I hate to admit it, but the reason I’m not so concerned about animal lives is that I don’t care too much about human life either. As far as I’m concerned humanity’s ultimate destiny is to improve on itself by creating sentient machines (or totally engineered organic sentiences that wouldn’t count as human). And then going extinct so our insufferable genome no longer pollutes the survivors.
Cows aren’t gonna invent Cylons or Skynet. So screw ‘em.
Snakes – eat meat – AWESOME
Tyrannosaurus Rexes – eat meat – AWESOME
Rabbits – eat plants – LAME
Cows – eat plants – LAME
Therefore, meat is AWESOME
Humans eat other humans flesh… ewwwww.
Humans eat animal flesh…. AWESOME
Flesh is flesh.. it’s still a meat from a corpse.
If i had a chance I’d try human, it’s meat just like any animal.
if only manbeef.com was really real…
Heifer whines could be human cries. Closer comes the screaming knife This beautiful creature must die. This beautiful creature must die. A death for no reason. And death for no reason is murder.
And the flesh you so fancifully fry is not succulent, tasty or kind. It’s death for no reason. And death for no reason is murder. And the calf that you carve with a smile is murder. And the turkey you festively slice is murder. Do you know how animals die? Kitchen aromas aren’t very homely. It’s not comforting, cheery or kind. Its sizzling blood and the unholy stench… of murder. It’s not natural, normal or kind. The flesh you so fancifully fry, the meat in your mouth. As you savour the flavour of murder. No, no, no, its murder.
Oh … and who hears when animals cry?
Ad paid by Awesome
I’m vegan and this is a funneh.
Anyways, didn’t Gandhi say “First they ignore you, then they RIDICULE you, then they fight you, then you win.”?
Does a tiger care about what it’s prey feels like just before it eats it? No. And therefore no matter what sort of argument anyone can come up with, i can’t seem to see a good case for being a vegan/vegetarian. Not sayin your ideas are wrong, but in my opinion they are. Then again, only god knows the answer to be blunt…
Yeah, because we use other animals as an example for everything we do- like okaying rape, cannibalism, murder, and other actions…
I do.
I’m not a vegan or vegetarian but the point for me is not the fact that animals are killed for food, but the way they are treated beforehand. Modern meat producing industry are basically ‘factories’ with no regard for the welfare of the animals. There are every day cows getting their limbs chopped off and cut open fully conscious, because with 300 cows to go through every day for one worker they don’t bother to take the time to actually freaking kill them, before turning them into mince meat.
It’s a brutal industry whose interest is to save time and money – whatever the costs. There are no grazing cows on a farm like there were only 100 years ago, it’s all factory meat. A tiger that kills it’s prey can’t inflict nearly as much suffering in the 10 minutes it takes to kill, as those factories can. And it’s avoidable suffering.
You’ll be relieved to know, then, that slaughter houses, or at least the ones here by me, are required to gas the animals to sleep before slaughter. They are herded onto an elevator, and are lowered into a pit full of nitrous oxide. Once the operator can no longer hear any raucous laughter, they bring the elevator back up. Any animals remaining conscious are summarily beaten unconscious for having a poor sense of humor. Just like touchy vegans and vegetarians should be (now now crazies; don’t go beatin up vegie puffers (not my personal sentiment, just bringing this down to the crazies’ level so they can relate) because somebody on the internet told you it was ok. ok?).
This doesn’t apply to chickens, though. Chickens have a warped sense of humor, and are rightfully tied up, hung upside down, and conveyed through a V shaped contraption that, if it were still sharp, would neatly slice off their heads as they passed through. But because chickens have such a warped sense of humor, the ones who went first, thinking it would be funny to do so, dulled the blade. So now it just tears their heads off. Those of you believing that there are super chickens out there capable of surviving this, and making it into the defeathering vat while still alive, are special in way that only the negative connotations of the term can describe.
So typical. Not eating meat doesn’t make you less of a person.
Let’s see….
http://www.meat.org
http://www.factoryfarming.com
Pigs and chickens are boiled alive before they die.
Male chicks are ground up, gassed, or suffocated because they are of no use on an egg laying factory farm.
Cows are dismembered and skinned alive.
Most birds… turkeys and chickens are fattened up so much that their legs break and it’s untreated. Same for pigs actually.
Not to mention all the ways the people treat them… sexual molestation, throwing them against walls, beating them with metal rods, kicking them, spray painting their eyes, putting out cigarettes in thier noses…. etc. Being a vegan is the better path to choose. Eating meat makes you a inconsiderate human bieng. PERIOD.
How will I live with the shame?
nom nom nom
How many times do I have to try to tell you that I’m sorry for the things I’ve done? But when I start to try to tell you, that’s when you have to tell me, “Hey… this kind of trouble’s only just begun.” I tell myself too many times, ‘why don’t you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut?’ That’s why it hurts so bad to hear the words that keep on falling from your mouth. Tell me, why? I may be mad, I may be blind, I may be viciously unkind – but I can still read what you’re thinking. And I’ve heard is said too many times that you’d be better off, besides… Why can’t you see this boat is sinking? Let’s go down to the water’s edge, and we can cast away those doubts. Some things are better left unsaid, but they still turn me inside out. Tell me, why? This is the book I never read, these are the words I never said. This is the path I’ll never tread, these are the dreams I’ll dream instead. This is the joy that’s seldom spread, these are the tears… the tears we shed. This is the fear, this is the dread – these are the contents of my head. And these are the years that we have spent, and this is what they represent. And this is how I feel. Do you know how I feel? Because I don’t think you know how I feel. I don’t think you know what I feel. You don’t know what I feel.

funniest thing ive seen on failblog in a long time. so funny that im even commenting. vegans are absolute idiots.
Poor sod, you obviously don’t have much of a sense of humour.
Now this is a tale explaining the manner in which my way of life was rotated along a Y axis until it reached a position roughly 180 degrees from that which it started. If I could have 60 seconds of your time, simply place your posterior in the selected location, and I will relate to you the details of how I was made the male monarch of the district of the City of Los Angeles, California located at coordinates 34.08333 -118.44778.
In the western region of the “City of Brotherly Love” known as Philadelphia, my mother expelled me from her womb and indeed that is also where I spent my childhood, in my mother’s care. The majority of my time was spent in a recreational area containing such diversions as a jungle gym, swing set, sand box, etc. I was typically at the height of leisure while frequently at a temperature slightly below what might be considered standard room temperature. Outside of my educational institution I was engaging in a game of basketball with some of my friends, when a couple of gentlemen who seemed to be of the disposition to cause a great deal of mischief began causing a great deal of chaos and disharmony in the area in which I lived. I was involved in one rather small bout of fisticuffs after which my mother became concerned for my general safety and well-being, and she informed me that I would be moving in with her sister and her sister’s husband in the previously mentioned community located at the previously mentioned location.
I implored my mother to relent approximately 24-48 hours ago, yet she gathered my belongings in a somewhat flat, rectangular shaped piece of luggage and expelled me from her presence. She placed her lips upon my cheek in an affectionate manner and handed me a pre-purchased pass for public transportation. I placed the headphones for my personal music system into my ears and verbalized the idea that I may as well impact this situation with my foot. Traveling in the highest available level of comfort, this is indeed an unfortunate situation (although I make this statement with some irony). Consuming the juices obtained by the squeezing of the fruit of a Citrus sinensis from a piece of glass stemware commonly reserved for the sipping of sparkling wine originating from the Champagne region of France, I pause to wonder if this is indeed how the residents of the admittedly upper-class neighborhood located at the previously mentioned location commonly live. Indeed, I find this situation may be rather to my enjoyment.
I puckered my lips and exhaled forcefully to produce a shrill note in order to gain the attention of a taxicab driver, and as the driver approached I observed his California vanity plate which, in place of the traditional jumble of alpha-numeric characters, used only the letters F, R, E, S, and H, spelling out the word “fresh”. Additionally, from his rear view mirror dangled a pair of oversized, fur-covered cubes decorated to look like the six-sided dice commonly used in gambling and board games. In such a situation I could have made a statement about the unusualness of this particular taxicab to the point of it being nearly unique. Instead I cogitatively decided against it and instead informed the driver that he should deliver me to what was to become my new home in the community located at the previously mentioned location.
We pulled up to a large domicile sometime between the hours of 7 and 8 o’clock, and in a loud tone of voice I informed the cab driver that at some undetermined point in the future I would again detect his odour through my sense of olfaction. I gazed about the region of land that I was destined to rule, reflecting on my arrival: Here I would claim my rightful place upon the throne, from which I would govern the previously mentioned community of Bel-Air as monarch.
Come on…all those who say “So what if animals eat other animals? we should do better”
Okay then, I suggest you stop breathing – other animals do it, why do YOU have to do it? Why do you keep drinking over and over again…it annoys me so much ! Oh, right, it’s a basic need for existence. Okay now enjoy a nice piece of meat, and shutup.
PS: animals feel pain when people are mean to them…when killing an animal for food usually the animals aren’t being tortured before their death…and if so, there’re always crazy people to be found who WILL torture animals for their entertainment, so you can’t do much about it.
Sooo, basically what you’re saying is that you wouldn’t mind being killed and eaten, if the creature eating you is hungry; regardless of whether that creature has the capability to eat anything but you, after all, they would only fulfilling a basic need…so it’s alright.
For the billionth time, non-veg humans are omnivores. Gah.
Also, wtf is with people being so insecure when someone mentions they’re a veg of some sort? I see this sort of thing all the time and I don’t get it. The whole culture supports your eating habits, so get over my tofu-eating and go enjoy your cheeseburger already
Oh I don’t have a problem with vegetarians like yourself. I only get furious when a veg tells me that me eating meat is morally wrong. But I guess making me furious is their only goal with that anyway.
Ya know, personally, I love animals, but I would like to go quail hunting with my dad and I do eat meat. I personally think humans are omnivores, capable of eating both meat and plants. After all, before the concept of farming came to be, what do you think we ate? Mammoths and other creatures for their MEAT. All you vegans out there, your ancestors ate meat, just so you know.
our ancestors also believed the earth was flat and was the centre of the universe amongst many other ridiculous things…I’ll leave the rest unsaid
They believed the world was flat, but it was not. We believe that meat is good to eat, and it is. How does that have anything to do with the difference between modern man and ancient man.
What many also believe in is evolution, but why is there no thinning happening in the human population anymore?
The argument was made out that, just because our ancestors did it, we should too (eating meat regularly is a modern trait anyway). Meat-eaters are the only people who believe eating meat is good. Modern science has proven, over and over, that a vegetarian diet is healthier and that vegetarians are less prone to cancers…and other diseases caused by eating meat. The longest living people in the world, the Hunza, are vegetarian.
Generally the only people who don’t believe in evolution have a religious bias, it’s impossible to explain anything logical or scientific to them; micro-evolution has been proven….and….lots of little evolutions, make a big one that you can visibly see; it just takes time.
Are you from the Dave and Steve Show?
Lol, I saw this on passiveagressivenotes.com a while ago. There’s some funny ass shit on there that would be considered WINS on here.
Cows, chickens and pigs, they don’t think. They just figure, “What the hell?”.
meat FTW!
its a little ironic that vegetarians/vegans wouldn’t be able to think conciously about the morality of consuming flesh if our ancestors had not consumed red meat in the first place therefore developing their brains.
it’s also ironic that you should say that, considering some of our best and brightest happened to be vegetarian – George Bernard Shaw, Isaac Newton, Einstein, the list continues….
It’s foolish to think that meat makes you clever…
no no. meat makes you cleaver.
Cleaver? Intellectual reply fail.
No, I don’t think that meat makes you clever.
But cavemen eating red meat led to our brains developing/ evolving and becoming more capable of concious thought without which todays vegetarians/ vegans or even George Bernard Shaw, Isaac Newton, Einstein etc. would not have had the mental ability to decide not to eat meat.
So you’re saying that you don’t believe that meat makes you clever…but you believe that it does? Which is it?
Funny how crocodiles and sharks amongst other less intelligent carnivores haven’t managed to make the mental leap we have…surely they should be geniuses.
We’re not the only creatures capable of conscious thought, there are plenty of species (herbivorous, ominivorous and carnivorous) that are capable of conscious thought.

I enjoy how this showed up here 2 days after I posted it on facebook. Think someone stole it from me >.<
Hah! If Steve loves meat so much, he can suck my knob. I’ll even let him have some of my special sauce.
Still here?
Definite shop… but funny. xD WIN.
How many times do I have to try to tell you that I’m sorry for the things I’ve done? But when I start to try to tell you, that’s when you have to tell me, “Hey… this kind of trouble’s only just begun.” I tell myself too many times, ‘why don’t you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut?’ That’s why it hurts so bad to hear the words that keep on falling from your mouth. Tell me, why? I may be mad, I may be blind, I may be viciously unkind – but I can still read what you’re thinking. And I’ve heard is said too many times that you’d be better off, besides… Why can’t you see this boat is sinking? Let’s go down to the water’s edge, and we can cast away those doubts. Some things are better left unsaid, but they still turn me inside out. Tell me, why? This is the book I never read, these are the words I never said. This is the path I’ll never tread, these are the dreams I’ll dream instead. This is the joy that’s seldom spread, these are the tears… the tears we shed. This is the fear, this is the dread – these are the contents of my head. And these are the years that we have spent, and this is what they represent. And this is how I feel. Do you know how I feel? Because I don’t think you know how I feel. I don’t think you know what I feel. You don’t know what I feel.

Heifer whines could be human cries. Closer comes the screaming knife This beautiful creature must die. This beautiful creature must die. A death for no reason. And death for no reason is murder.
And the flesh you so fancifully fry is not succulent, tasty or kind. It’s death for no reason. And death for no reason is murder. And the calf that you carve with a smile is murder. And the turkey you festively slice is murder. Do you know how animals die? Kitchen aromas aren’t very homely. It’s not comforting, cheery or kind. Its sizzling blood and the unholy stench… of murder. It’s not natural, normal or kind. The flesh you so fancifully fry, the meat in your mouth. As you savour the flavour of murder. No, no, no, its murder.
Oh … and who hears when animals cry ?

It’s a boring day – I’ve got nothing to do
Except to get a load of retards and drive em to the zoo
Oh oh oh takin’ retards to the zoo
Load ‘em on a bus just for laughs
Down a winding road stepping on the gas
Down a winding road just to stay dreaming
Down a winding road with the retards screaming
Oh oh oh takin’ retards to the zoo
One of them blowing a big spit bubble
Slam on the brakes at the first sign of trouble
Head on collision bodies everywhere
Head on collision retards beware
Oh oh oh takin’ retards to the zoo
My best friend is a junkie
He shoots up all day
Sometimes he even shits himself
What else can I say?
Shoot up or shut up
If his girl don’t score
He beats her black and blue
He wears his track marks like tattoos
I love to hear his junkie talk
Whenever he talks on the sidewalk
My best friend is a junkie
It’s sad but true
My best friend is a junkie
What does your best friend do?
My best friend is a junkie
He shoots up all day
Sometimes he even shits himself

People can eat what they like, but I think we can all agree that Morrissey is a giant bollock.
As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
I take a look at my wife and realize she’s very plain
But that’s just perfect for an Amish like me
You know, I shun fancy things like electricity
At 4:30 in the morning I’m milkin’ cows
Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows… fool
And I’ve been milkin’ and plowin’ so long that
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
I’m a man of the land, I’m into discipline
Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin
But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine
Then tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1699
We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
I’ve churned butter once or twice
Living in an Amish paradise
It’s hard work and sacrifice
Living in an Amish paradise
We sell quilts at discount price
Living in an Amish paradise
A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
I just smiled at him and turned the other cheek
I really don’t care, in fact I wish him well
‘Cause I’ll be laughing my head off when he’s burning in hell
But I ain’t never punched a tourist even if he deserved it
An Amish with a ‘tude? You know that’s unheard of
I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat
And my homies agree, I really look good in black…fool
If you come to visit, you’ll be bored to tears
We haven’t even paid the phone bill in 300 years
But we ain’t really quaint, so please don’t point and stare
We’re just technologically impaired
There’s no phone, no lights, no motorcar
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Crusoe
It’s as primitive as can be
We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
We’re just plain and simple guys
Living in an Amish paradise
There’s no time for sin and vice
Living in an Amish paradise
We don’t fight, we all play nice
Living in an Amish paradise
Hitchin’ up the buggy, churnin’ lots of butter
Raised a barn on Monday, soon I’ll raise another
Think you’re really righteous? Think you’re pure in heart?
Well, I know I’m a million times as humble as thou art
I’m the pious guy the little Amlettes wanna be like
On my knees day and night scorin’ points for the afterlife
So don’t be vain and don’t be whiny
Or else, my brother, I might have to get medieval on your heinie
We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
We’re all crazy Mennonites
Living in an Amish paradise
There’s no cops or traffic lights
Living in an Amish paradise
But you’d probably think it bites
Living in an Amish paradise
LMAO I JUST FOUND OUT WEIRD AL IS VEGAN
THERE’S NO WORDS ON IT – Bill O’Reilly
pool’s closed
I’m 12 and what is this
How many meat eaters does it take to change a lightbulb?
None, they would rather stay in the dark about things.
Sanchez… You’re so dirty.
lololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol!
How many vegetarians does it take to eat a cow?
One if nobody’s looking.
A young vegan couple decided to spice up their life so they bought “The Joy of Sex.” A friend later asked them if the book had helped. Disgusted, the lady replied, “We didn’t know what we were getting into. That book goes against everything we believe.” The friend, a bit surprised, asked them if they were against free sexual expression. “No,” said the man, “but you wouldn’t believe what they want us to put in our mouths!”
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
What did one vegetarian spy say to the other vegetarian spy?
We have to stop meating like this.
Why did the carnivore cross the road?
There was a dead possum on the other side.
excuse me, but if the possum is already dead, that is called a detritavore. Unless it was very very recently killed.
This is the grave of a cow. As you will see, it was killed in unnecessary pain by a man.
Q: What’s the difference between a new husband and a new dog?
A: After a year, the dog is still excited to see you.
This is the grave of a cow. As you will see, it was killed in unnecessary pain, by a man.
what? i was hungry
I’d just like to point out how dumb the idea that only through vegetarianism can we feed everyone. Right now there is already enough arable land in use to feed the entire world. The problem is distribution systems that let food go to waste when it doesn’t sell rather than send it where it’s needed.
And you know WHY it doesn’t get distributed well? Because there’s enough GRAIN to feed everyone, but it’s all going to feed pigs and cows for the wealthy! Around 70% of grain is used to feed livestock. It takes about 16 pounds of grain to make one pound of cow flesh.
There are other reasons, yes, for instance the small farmers can’t afford the chemical fertilizers or equipment necessary to use the hybrid crops which the huge agribusinesses have made it almost impossible for them not to use despite the fact that smaller farms using polycultures of native plants as opposed to giant monocultures of Genetically Engineered plants produce significantly more per hectare.
Still, we already have half again as much food as we need to feed the whole world… it’s just that we’ve been feeding it to the cows and pigs instead of starving farmers in Africa or wherever it’s needed.
While this goes against a lot of what I stand for, I still think it’s FREAKIN HILARIOUS!
See, I can appreciate insults against me when they’re INTELLIGENT!
I’m a vegetarian, and this is still one of my favorite ones!
So keep on being intelligent, people that make fun of me! WOO HOO!
P.E.T.A people. eating. tasty. animals . join today

With free dental care and a stock plan that helps you invest!
But beware of his generous pensions,
Plus three weeks paid vacation each year,
And on Fridays the lunchroom serves hot dogs and burgers and beer!
He loves German beer!
Considering how much discipline it takes to be a vegan, I don’t think “carnivores” have any place calling vegans wimps.

The concept of eating only vegetables or a vegan diet doesn’t disturb me. What annoys me is when vegans straining to showcase their enlightenment/ erudition thru the old ‘animals have feelings too’ spiel seem to want to rank the rights of animal closer to, on even par with, or even above people. Is that supposed to somehow earn them karma by self-flagellation of their own species? Screw karma — flagellate yourselves without imposing your holier-than-thou attitudes and standards on everyone else. Animals eat animals. Why can’t we? Especially if, as some would have us believe, we’re no better than animals. And comparing animals with feelings to elderly people with dementia??? So, a cat or chicken would have the same rights as someone’s mom or dad? Sounds like some vegans would be more predisposed toward euthanasia than the average carnivore, so long as it preserved the life of a gerbil or a dolphin. I would personally stomp the guts out of a thousand rabbits, chickens, and cats before I’d give up one old person in their place. Even an old vegan.
I find it amusing that you speak of rights (human or otherwise) and then justify the consumption of animals by the phrase “Animals eat animals. Why can’t we?”…humans came up with the idea of ‘rights’ in the first place; so which is it, are we animals, or humans?
Your assumption that vegetarians and vegans believe that somehow what they do in life is going to bite them back someday (…your reference to karma) is fallacious. The statement is based upon the assumption that all vegans/vegetarians follow a religious doctrine.
When did “animals have feelings” translate to “we rank them on par, or even above people”? I assume that you have feelings, yet (since you’re an animal – “animals eat animals, etc”) I still rank myself as far superior to you.
You’re also assuming that vegans/vegetarians are asking for all human rights to be directly translated to animals. They are not asking you to give them the right to be educated, housed, or the right to vote; just the right to live (i.e. stop breeding them in order to eat and sh!t them out; or if you want to breed them, leave them to live out their lives).
As far as euthanasia is concerned, what has this got to do with the price of eggs? Giving an animal the right to live does not = kill your mom and dad, or euthanise your grandad; you obviously don’t understand the reasoning behind vegan/vegetarianism ideals. They’re against killing an animal just so that you can eat and then sh!t it out (life is worth more than sh!t); they’re against killing an animal because you enjoy doing it. They’re not against defending yourself from being attacked, or preventing your own demise due to another creature.
I have to give it to you though, you have got a gift for jumping to conclusions based on assumptions that you yourself have come up with.
You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we’ve got
Set them free at the break of dawn
‘Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, something’s out there
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by
99 Decision Street
99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we’ve waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by
99 Knights of the air
Ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone’s a superhero
Everyone’s a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
As 99 red balloons go by
99 dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It’s all over and I’m standing pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go.
what a shameful attempt at fresh prince of bel-air

Ah, the wonders of working for the Globex Corporation; a company large enough to give the Denver Broncos to a valued ex-employee as a parting gift (though his dream was to own the Dallas Cowboys).
Wow, grow some sack? I already have one so I don’t need to worry. You people need to grow a brain and notice that meat gives you CANCER you dumbasses. But whatever, be douchebags its not like anything I say can stop people from being stupid.

BREATHING can give you cancer.
Having too much stress can make you have cancer; your body’s first line of defense against harboring cancerous cells is your immune system. Stress can depress your immune response, which is one of a few important factors that can increase your cancer risk. In fact, stress is a major factor which can undo any effort you may take to prevent cancer, even from good dietary choices and physical activity.
From what I can gather, you’re being angry (as shown with your virtriolic post full of insults of others you disagree with) and stressing out too much, and all about the dietary patterns of other people.
Keep it up and it may be YOU who gets cancer! The real tragedy is that your cause may ultimately be for nothing more than a trifling reason (unresolved anger issues triggered from unreasonably impassioned disagreement).
Switch to decaffinated herbal teas, calm down, look at the bigger picture (people have lives that you can’t control, nor should you try), then live and let live.
Ive always been fascinated by the vegan community to be so militant on their dietary positions. If you eat veggies, then eat your veggies and stfu, I dont want some patchouli smelling transient looking douchebag tell me that meat isnt good for you, and give me a laundry list why.
Its about choices, I will continue to consume the flesh of an animal until they make cannibalism legal.
LMAO, that’s rich – rebuttal (refer the fail)…
If vegans/vegetarians want to have a meeting, let them have a meeting and stfu; they don’t want some carcass chomping, urine smelling douchebag telling them to be carnivores and place a symbol of their minute knobs next to invitations to that meeting.
It’s about choices, they will continue to be vegetarian and eat plants.
We’re no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I

Not just music.
He seems to enjoy making Simpsons references.
Interestingly, you rarely ever find omnivores (to use the correct terminology) militantly trying to force vegetarians to eat meat unless they are provoked by said vegetarians or vegans. My sister was a vegetarian and she never forced or tried to force me to not eat meat and we got along really well because of it. The problem is that those who make the choice to eat meat rarely respect the other’s right to disagree with their decision. If we truly live in a country of ‘tolerance’ meat-eaters and veggie-eaters should be able to co-exist comfortably without forcing the others to do things their way. Most omnivores I know are fine without being condemnatory, judgmental and horribly insulting about vegetarians’ choice to eat only veggies.
Play nice people. If you want others to respect you and your choices, you have to be willing to respect them first.
Correction, it should have read “those who make the choice to NOT eat meat rarely respect the other’s right to disagree with heir decision….”
Not that your original message did not carry some truth.
i like that thought… i usually just hate vegetarians because either A: They try to force you to become a vegetarian or
B: they feel that they r morally better than you because they didnt just eat rover ( heck yes ive eaten dog) and blatantly tell you they are
It’s like I always say, I won’t eat it if it wasn’t tortured before it was killed. But seriously, do you think the earliest humans had the agricultural skill to farm and irrigate? Kinda sorta totally doubt it. They probably killed and ate animals to survive. Oh, and the amount of small animals that are killed while your precious vegetables are harvested is ridiculous. At least we eat our meat, you just let yours rot. Selfish vegans. Try having a little compassion for the world and all its beautiful creatures.
You’re not being serious…surely.
Earliest humans foraged for food more often than not, like our ape cousins do, occasionally, when they were lucky, they’d catch game, but otherwise, it was a raw fruit and veg diet….
Just because we used to eat meat, as early humans, does not mean it is the way things should be done now. Early humans also thought that the world was flat…we know better now (as is the case with consuming meat).
Generally vegans will purchase organically grown food, rather than the mass-produced alternative (that means, no lives of furry creatures prematurely terminated).
But, if you want to argue along that line; the small animals killed when vegetables are harvested apply to yourselves as well, in fact moreso; the cow you eat, eats a shed-load (grains, fruits and vegetables, in case you thought they survived on air alone) more than a human does, so you’ve got more than just the price of the life of the cow on your head when you eat meat…if you would like to believe your story, think of the vegan as the lesser of two evils.
If you want to talk about compassion for the world and all it’s beautiful creatures, you’re doing a lot more harm than a vegan, by eating meat. In order to get your meat you’ve got to have land both for the cows and the grain, fruit and vegetables that feed them (which is a lot). To feed a vegan, you only need land for the grain, fruits and vegetables.
Tell me, why do you think the rainforest is being raped? Last I heard, it was for the production of soya beans; no, not for the vegan (remember we don’t eat as much), but for your cows.
The problem is this:
An omnivore can respect a veg*n’s decision just fine. There’s no necessary problem there, although I’ve met a lot who are arseholes about it.
Most veg*ns, on the other hand, while they may respect omnivores without any problems, will never be able to respect their decision to eat meat. However they may approach that person, they’ll never be able to say “you eat meat, and I totally respect that”, for obvious reasons.
So, omnivores, do not expect it. We can get along just fine. Most veg*ns will just remain respectfully (again, to you) silent on the matter. Yeah, there are militant veg*ns out there, but they’re the vocal minority.
Most of my friends are omnivores, as well as my entire family. The only time I bring it up is when referring to what I’m going to eat (if I’m going to a barbeque, for instance, I’ll ask if I should bring my own food) or when I’m “coming out” to someone new. Other than that, it’s usually an omnivore who brings it up, and if they do so disrespectfully, I will respond in kind.
I can’t speak for all veg*ns, but the best way for an omnivore to get along with me is to only bring it up when necessary. If you really do want to bring it up, please do so respectfully. I’ve made the effort to respect you, and even if you (likewise) do not respect my decision, I expect to be offered the same courtesy.
I have a tasty way of dealing with vegans, for every vegan I know, I eat two extra portions of meat, that way, their anti meat eating mannerisms actually increase the number of animals eaten =D. Mmmm tasty, but probably impossible/unhealthy.
IMHO people need to calm down, it’s a picture of a dinosaur, and essentially saying carnivorous dinosaurs are cooler then vegetarians. So let he who thinks he is cooler than a dinosaur cast the first stone.
I wonder what dinosaur tastes like…I’m digressing. It’s a personal choice whether or not you eat meat, but it’s fact that our bodies have evolved to effectively consume all manner of flora and fauna. The difference between omnivores like chimpanzees and us, is we farm animals solely for consumption. So if you desperately feel the need to make humourless comments criticizing something, make it intensive farming and the way our food is treated premortem and not the consumption in general. Even then, if you fancy yourself as some kind of Ray Mears, feel free to go and hunt animals who have led a “pleasant” life but good luck killing a wild pig humanely with nothing but a stick and your bare hands.
Moreover don’t compare the overpopulation of humans to that of animals, they’re totally different. Go give rabbits healthcare, stop them getting eaten, whack on some mood music
and feed them viagra and you’ll see why humans are at such a critically high population. Being top of the food chain doesn’t help either.
Anyways, I’m craving a bacon and brown sauce sandwich, tasty.
All you carnivorous dinosaurs out there, keep being AWESOME.
Shinks out.
*casts stone, aimed at Shinks*
We call my grandfather ‘spiderman’, not because he’s limber and can shoot webs from his wrist…have you ever seen a spider try to get out of a bath?
Dinosaurs stop being awesome when they reach 60 years old…and carnivorous ones never were…
I don’t know what you are talking about, but do people get more awesome as they reach 60 years? Does it depends on how old you are how great you are? No! Like ants or bees, they live short but they are great, with their teamwork and helping plants.
I just want to let you know Dinosaurs
have lived millions and millions years, humans are just a little time at earth and have screwed it over already, like cutting all nature away.
And people do that because they need to live, but now as all nature is away, people won’t be able to live. In just a very little time
This is a shame. NOT funny.
Come to Homer’s BBBQ! The extra B is for BYOB!
Vegans get OWNED!!!!! Carnivores FTW!!!!
YEAH GO GIGGLES!!!! WOOT!!!!! GO MEAT!!!
I saw this the other day, source is a poster board at Flinders University in Adelaide, South Australia. (May also be up at other unis with the same group)
wow. someone actually had to make another flier just to make fun of other ppl choice to not eat meat? god get a life.
There, there; shut up, boy.
hey… dont associate us pro-life people with you hippies (vegans/vegetarians) babies are babies. steak is dinner
You know what’s great? When a group of veg*ns and omnivores who’ve been pointlessly arguing for over a month now on an internet thread realise that they have an irreconcilable difference of opinion and that neither side will ever convince the other of the error of their ways, and everyone just STOPS POSTING.
I know, right?
I am too awesome for words.
Life feeds from life.
Let it be.
oh sweet taste of corpse…
Heh.
Oh man, I am a vegetarian, and this made me laugh so hard!!!
ll these make me laugh. All this talk about swine flu and animal pain etc etc . Its funny becaues if you drive a car, shop at a store, wear clothing from big stores, by non organic vegetable, work in a business like job etc etc, you are contributing to just as much animal death as the blatent meat eater eating farmed meat. All the shopping creates economic prosperity (so to speak), alll the driving creats emmissions. Big economy equals growth, growth equals expansion. Expansion equals LOSS OF HABITAT FOR OTHER ANIMALS SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL EAT THEM….. MEAT EATERS ARE NOT KILLING THE PANDAS!
Sooner or later there has to be a fine balance. I choose to eat meat because I am a biological omnivore. Tell a wolf to eat vegetables. And if I chose to be a vegetarian it would be for health benefits, not animal pain. How the hell do we know plants dont feel pain? Just because there is no neueronal network? Just cuz we dont know YET doesnt mean its fact.
So you can save all the animals and save all the people, but sooner or later we will RUN OUT OF resources to FEED everyone because we keep tearing down pristine habitats to employ everyone. ITs so hippocritical to say ‘save the animals from pain ‘ and be compassionate, and save all the humans- but then to contribute to the things that are actually going to wipe out more species then eating them will. Look at both sides of your arguments before you give lectures on ‘morality of eating meat’
The things we fight for, and the kinds of battles we get into, mmh mmh mmh.
For me this pic is great, definitely a win. I tried chowing down veggies (to help cure an illness) but couldn’t make it past lunch. I eat according to rules that I follow, atop what my soul likes.
I find myself actually concerned about the readers of the comments, whether they will be influenced to eat babies. It just makes me think how far a vegan would go with rhetoric suggestions just to win this Paralympic.
Cannibalism has been suggested. Someone may take it seriously and try. Someone may not take it seriously and try, and go “Hey, it’s X, our enemy, right? so it’s cool for consumption, it’s meat”.
You’re gonna be a factor just because of a simple picture that spawns images of empathy in your head, efforts for proofs with your time, and godly ambition in your heart?
Motivation for cannibalism is what it is, even if rhetoric.
Hmm. Fail, I think.
:/
I heart meat.
That’s what she said.
You can’t spell slaughter without laughter.
Carnivores don’t need a support group because most of them are mindless sheep who just do whatever culture tells them to and get backed up on it by other mindless sheep.
no, fail.
fail
Nice blog. thank.
I honestly don’t care that animals feel pain. I may not have the moral high ground but whenever I see someone argue against eating meat I just laugh. Animals = delicious and that’s all that matters.
“Carnivores don’t need a support group because most of them are mindless sheep who just do whatever culture tells them to and get backed up on it by other mindless sheep.”
You have that backwards. I like to eat what tastes good to me. Doesnt matter if its vegie, meat or just chemicals. Guess what? People like that do not need a support group because they are fine whith their dietery choices. The vegans that go to support groups go there because they care what other people think of them. Just like mindless sheep. We might not live longer that all of you vegans but every meal we have untill the rest of our days is going to be AWESOME!
Baaaa-ha-ha! Total WIN to John in the earlier entries! Perfect addition to that discourse. Vegans suck! And lighten up Cyrell. You have chosen failblog as your soapbox!? Sometimes the entries in these idiotic comment sections are as funny as the pictures.
Win.
Life feeds on life, to believe otherwise is ignorance.
You know, I don’t see why this is an argument.
Don’t want to eat meat, fine. Don’t eat meat.
Want to eat meat, fine. Eat it.
The problem comes when you get:
Don’t want to eat meat, fine. No-one else can eat it because I don’t want to.
Want to eat meat, fine. Everyone has to because I do.
That makes as much since as
I’m not gay, no-one else is allowed to be gay and I will force my belief on everyone! MY THOUGHT IS LAW!
(I’ve never seen anyone say the inverse….)
I for one eat meat, I like it. I’m allergic to fruits and veggies, and it SUCKS. I love fruits and veggies.
(Oral Allergen Syndrome, an allergy to all fresh fruits and veggies. :\ now this does mean I can eat heated fruits and veggies, like canned things or cooked things… But on top of that I’m allergic to strawberries, cherries, all melons, celery, and a ton of other stuff that I don’t feel like listing)
I’m also so allergic to trees that I can’t eat smoked things, and I don’t even want to go into my entire allergy list. But trust me, that’s not even half of it.
You know what that means?
I have a limited food source. (granted i did eat meat before I developed these allergies, I happen to like it- I’m not just trying to make an excuse with my allergies. {I’m actually just complaining…})
I will eat my damned baked chicken and fish as much as I want, and I don’t want anyone to tell me I can’t. (If they do, i would like them to at least tell me what too eat)
But I also am not about to go tell someone that they have to eat meat because I do. Good for you, you don’t eat meat.
Honestly, that is wonderful. I’m actually jealous, you don’t know what I would give to be able to eat a salad or an apple again. (or chocolate…. ;-;)
Neither ways should be pushed on people :\
That is the most awesome win I have ever seen on this site!!! Fact: Humans are omnivores. We need to eat meat to survive. And no, tofu doesn’t count. So yes, if you wish to die early…go ahead and be a vegetarian or worse–vegan. But don’t whine to me about how eating living things is bad. Plants are alive, too! Maybe we should all just stop eating altogether and save the PLANTS?!? STFU. Haha.
eat that meat?
