PETA creates UNhappy meals? McCruelty? I'm hatin it? WTF??

McDonalds!! McDonalds has angus third pounders! You don't have McDonalds there? When I got back in shape after I had been lazy for approx two years (my daughter was 2), I worked out and dieted some too, but I never did anything crazy, my 'diet' was in moderation, it was a lifestyle shift. I did eat more fruits and vegetables and better grains, not all whole but better, but I never cut out things like meat, fish, eggs, dairy, salt, sugar, or caffeine. Healthy to me is balance, excluding or cutting out anything is NOT balance. Anyway, I lost the other 12 lbs and am in much better shape than I had been even before getting pregnant. I just maintain now, but I've relaxed more in regards to diet. I have learned though if I ever decide to cut out anything, then that is all I crave, and I go nuts, overboard, obsessed, which is why I just don't do things like that any more. I don't understand people who do, people who choose to eat no meat, no carbs, no fruit, no sugar, no caffeine, etc etc. Anyway, I might just be weird, who knows, but I have the feeling more people are like me and part of the reason some of them cannot seem to stick to a fitness and diet program is because they try to do too much too soon, or cut out things when all that does is make them obsess over whatever they cut out lol.

No Macdonalds over here at all. so I have to meet you on your part of the world. Actually, your response to my response has decsribed me. I am going to try and do it your way. I must lose weight as it has affected my health in so many ways.

Well, first of all I don't believe ANY person on the face of this earth has any business trying to get me or not get me to eat something or not eat it. What I eat and where I shop etc is my business and my business only. I don't have a need to research and find out what different businesses or establishments do or don't do, and I do not boycott places based on their practices either. If I like chicken or burgers and I want chicken or a burger, I'll go somewhere and get it. Animals raised for food are raised for food. They aren't raised as pets and costs are out of control as it is. Everybody says they are getting screwed and everybody probably is, from the original place that got the animals as babies to the consumers who buy the meat in the grocery store. There is no reason the costs should be as high as they are, but they are. Until that is under control, I'm not going to advocate spending more money or doing things differently that are going to cause a spike in the price to consumers or a supply problem. I also see nothing wrong in teaching my children that some animals are pets and loved as much as family members, some animals are grown as food and that's what they are, FOOD. If you don't eat meat, that's your business, but I don't appreciate PETA getting in the media and scaring people or using drama to create followers. Anyway, there is nothing 'silly' at all about me going about my business and getting a meal. I just wish EVERYBODY would just go about their business and get their meal or maybe not get their meal and not have anything else to say about it. It is offensive when people are going about having an issue with what someone eats or buys. I would NEVER have said anything if a big deal hadn't been made by PETA ALREADY.

Totally. And they'd make such tasty fools.... oh wait, cannibalism is not legal LOL!

Sweet little cows and chickens!! A STEAK tree...lmao!!! Yes Opal, there really is a steak tree. I have one in my yard. It has baby steaks every spring. I'm not sorry... I mean I don't have furs and I wouldn't wear them either. I think it is mean to raise animals to take their fur. I don't think it's a problem to raise animals strictly for food. We need food. We don't NEED fur. I don't think you should hate yourself for liking meat! I certainly don't hate myself for liking meat. I don't apologize. Why should I? LOL!

They are totally offensive and hypocritical! The only people I respect in this matter are vegetarians or vegans who just LIVE that way and don't flap their lips about it. The GOOD and respectful ones NEVER FRIGGING SAY ANYTHING about it!

Ugh, they have a fanbase? Seriously? I don't boycott anything unless I dont PERSONALLY like it. I would never boycott something because a group says I should or there's a political reason, or anything like that. Say I don't like anchovies, well I won't buy anchovies but if some group said 'don't buy such and such in support of us', even if I supported them, if I LIKED or WANTED the product, I might buy it anyway. It's just creepy what people do to influence each other.

I think anybody who traumatizes or terrorizes children is bad. This includes PETA, environmental groups, pro-life groups, religious groups, and politicians in general. I feel that PARENTS are the only ones who should be influencing children in those arenas. I will not have anybody telling my daughter there is no easter bunny, no santa claus, that people shouldn't eat meat, or drive cars, etc or that people go to hell. Hell is reserved for people who open their mouths to make comments like that to KIDS! There was an incident where a religious group one time attacked an Easter bunny at a public venue, ripped apart his costume, beat him up, and went about yelling to the screaming crying kids that 'the easter bunny doesn't exist'. I am truly glad I was not a parent present because first of all I would NEVER want my daughter exposed to criminal idiots such as those people. Also, those people would be sorry they had crossed my path after that as well. I don't have a problem with them believing what they want, but to me that is personal, it has nothing to do with other people, and they need to keep it to themselves! I have the same disgusted gut reaction to people who go about waving political signs - against gay marriage - for instance, and include their CHILDREN who have no idea what they are even doing - young school age kids wearing tshirts proclaiming whatever slogan their parents or the group their parents belong to. It is disgusting. I don't think involving or influencing minors this way is acceptable and it should be considered illegal. There's no informed consent, the kids don't even KNOW what they are accepting or promoting!

They are crazy. Absolutely crazy.
