Sam T Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Not at all. Everyone has a right to choose, it just annoys me when people try and push their beliefs on others, much like when meat eaters try to convince vegans/ vegetarians that they should eat meat. A lot of my friends are vegetarians but it never comes up in discussion as we respect each other's choices and get on with. That was aimed towards to second guy i quoted, should of said sorry! I have the same opinion as you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Dale Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 really really not trying to start anything here , honestly!, just a bit un-comfortable with how many people liked your post lol... it seems every meat eater has to take a stab at every non meat-eater?? or is that some kind of personal vendetta with you and dave?? anyway, I'm vegetarian and have been for about 10 years, currently trying to switch to a vegan diet but it's soooo hard with all the crap food in every shop you go into on this rotting planet! and its been extra hard for me to quit milk, cheese and eggs living in what is essentially a small farming/fishing town lol! there's not a lot of choice out there, so for the past 2 months, all i have eaten is vegetable curry's, veg stew's, porridge with almond milk or soya milk (delicious) and i have 4 large fruit or veg smoothies every day(even more delicious), takes like 3 minutes to prepare every meal which is awesome but if you find dave's diet strange, and obviously my diet is strange to you also, you have to consider something else's rib cage on your plate.... a little bit strange atleast?? or any other sliced up dead animal for that matter lol?? please read all that in a discussive way, not in an argumentative way lol! i do agree with this a bit but the fact is that it is normal to eat meat. that comes from when we were neanderthals and just evolving into humans. we had to hunt and kill our food to survive. i dont agree with the way we do this in todays world but eating meat is totally normal......

24martin Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 yea your definitely right dale, eating meat is considered the norm in quite a lot of today's culture's and society's, and i like the fact that you don't like the way we go about it in today's world! but to me, it falls in to one of those category's that used to be considered normal, like only a century ago things like racism, slavery and genocide were regarded as normal! i think speciesism is one of those things that is regarded as normal right now, but will have to change in the future!! just like how sexism is pretty much normal in most middle eastern countries right now, something will be done about it one day! and I'm not sure what to think about the neanderthal situation, to survive as "meat eaters" they would have first needed fire to cook the raw, bloody, bacteria covered meat other wise they wouldn't have lasted very long at all eating raw meat, how did they cook meat before inventing fire?? diseases would have wiped them out very quickly... on the other hand the never ending plentifull amounts of naturally occuring plants, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains etc which mostly grow at a convenient waist height for easy picking, could have been the main food source for neanderthals! one way I think of it is like this.. if we truly are meat eaters, try this as an experiment... put a 2 year old child in a cot, and in that cot put 2 things, a fresh apple, and a fully grown bunny rabbit that still alive, if the child eats the bunny rabbit and plays with apple then i may be more convinced that eating meat is normal lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dngr2self Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 People can eat raw meat once their bodies get used to it, as a species we're pretty adaptable. A sergeant major with the royal engineers once told me about a water supply they put in somewhere in Africa, the locals were getting ill after drinking the water and they couldn't understand why, they figured out in the end that the locals had adapted to the dirty water they had been drinking. That's one of the reasons we're the dominant species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
