Why do vegetarians see meat-eaters as murderers ???  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 87/100. Profetu (404)   ranked 997 out of 24,082 in people 4 years ago

When in fact it has been proven that plants are also LIVING things(mm top that).Or that's less important?..eehh it's only a plant...who would complain? I AM! Maybe it's murder but it goes both ways (plants also die in the process of making food out of them).i am a meat-eater and happy about that.I don't start going to people : vegetables can drive you mad (studies have ,by the way, shown that you can really go nuts from eating just vegetables, that doesn't mean that i'll start a campaign regarding that).Do vegetarians really need to poke our eyes out with that argument?Or is it just a "trend" to eat vegetables?

Glad that someone from "otherside" joined in.Soryy about my tone...but it just happen to pass by some people who were argueing about that.And it happend to me a LOT..people blaiming me for an animals death...that i'm immoral irresponsable.I've had it with that kind of "politics".I consider that everybody can eat either without blaming others.If you do something "different" that doesn't mean that you are more special or correct.Right?

Vegetarians stick strongly to there beliefs. They do not like to eat any type of meat, so therefore they do not want others to eat any type of meat. I eat meat, and nothing will change that, to me meat is very healthy, the days that i have tried to eat nothing but vegetables, it made me sick. I have nothing against vegetarians, but they do not need to dislike me because I am not going to become a non-meat eater. That is like anyone though, when you strick strong enough to some beliefs, nothing will ever change the way you act or what you believe in.

I just have to comment that when you change from meat-eating to veggy-only, it drastically changed your diet. It WILL make you sick. The same way that if a vegan suddenly woofed down a cheeseburger, they'd get sick too. It's not that one is worse than the other, it's simply a change of diet.

It's the same as if you suddenly switched your dog or cats food, they'll get sick too.

Just incase you try out the veggy thing again. Just go more slowly and gradual, so it doesn't make you sick ^.^

lol. I love that argument, that plants are living things too. We just can't see their pain.

Personally, I think there are way too many who become vagan for the social aspects of it, the status, the 'coolness'. Granted, not all of them are like that, but a lot are.

I, too, am a meat-eater. Though I'm careful for my health and only eat meat sparingly. Which is how it should be done. I think the majority of Americans, at least, over-eat meat. I eat chicken on occasion. And fish (salmon. yum) every so often. I tend to avoid beef, and eat it only once a month or so. (a nice juicy Red Robins burger. Oh glory be. lol)

But, I wont diss Vagans. because they have a bit of a point. Most meat consumed by americans comes from highly mistreated animals. It's not like we went hunting and caught our own animals. I try to buy my meat from local butchers and such. But it's very difficult to find salmon locally, for me. We do need to rethink our meat-eating habits. after all, veggies are SO much more healthy for us.

I think Vagans are a result of America sucking so badly at our health. So these people go to an extreme to get the point across. And also because that extremeness gets them clear of meat eating. A sort of "all or nothing" philosophy.

Personally, I think vegans have gone a little too far. Milk and cheese, to me, aren't a result of animal cruelity, especially if you buy it locally.

I just think most vegans, most TRUE vagans, that is, have a problem with our mass-production of meat products. And I agree. It's a little bit extreme.


myLot reputation of 75/100. zavebe (112)   ranked 7,614 out of 24,082 in people  4 years ago

Oops. I was focused on Vagans, in contrast to Vegatarians. Most vagans are more extreme. And Vegetarians tend to not care about the murdering part, and instead just focus on health. So keep that in mind as you read! My bad :P


myLot reputation of 87/100. Profetu (404)   ranked 997 out of 24,082 in people  4 years ago

Thank you for your thoughts.I hope i didn't get anyone upset with my tone or my post but really now i've just had it and i'm trying to influence vegetarians NOT to coment when i'm eating meat :"you know...that's a victim resulted from a murder.What? why do i need to hear that? really now.Wouldn't it be better if you people wouldn't say anything about it?The only thing with what i agree is that the whole process of eating is...and get a load of this , it might be shocking to some : NATURAL!tell a lion not to hunt...if you convince mother nature to stop that process...then i'll change my diet! (sorry for posting here,and for everybody who felt offended by this...it's intention is NOT to offend ...is to educate an opinion)

Did you know that just as many people choose to be vegetarian for health reasons as do for animal rights activism? I actually don't know many veggies who decided to be veggie because they don't want to murder animals. I know several, though, who are veggie because it can be a much healthier lifestyle.
And if someone doesn't want to kill animals, that's a valid choice, and you shouldn't criticize them for it. Especially if you don't want them to criticize you.


myLot reputation of 87/100. Profetu (404)   ranked 997 out of 24,082 in people  4 years ago

It's true that many choose that for health reasons.But that really requires the "campaigns" for a better life style?I am aware...and most of us are of the benefits/disadvantages that our choises make.But from choosing to blaming...it's a long way.

they don`t see meat eaters like murderers,they are vegetarians because of diffrent personal reasons....at some point u may be right...most of them are also marching for animal rights,because let`s face it,often the animals are mistreated and killed in horrible ways just because they are ment to be a future meal.

I am a vegetarian, and I don't think meat-eaters are murderers. It's just a way of living. You're probably around all those "fantatical" vegetarians that like to protest, and break the law in the name of saving animals. I love animals-I will never eat one, or even fish. Where I work, vegetarians, and meat-eaters eat together every day, and party on Christmas. So, don't think "all" vegetarians are like that. I've never heard that vegetables will "drive you mad" that's a new one to me, but eating too much of "any" one thing or "doing" too much of anything is always bad for you. By the way, just because vegetarians don't eat meat, doesn't mean we "just" eat vegetables. What do you eat "besides" meat? Depending on the type of vegetarian of course. Personally I am a dairy eating vegetarian, who eats fruit and grains, legumes and "our own" vegetarian meat. Fake, of course. I hope I have made vegetarianism clear to you.


myLot reputation of 87/100. Profetu (404)   ranked 997 out of 24,082 in people  4 years ago

THANK YOU! really now thanks...first of to say anything from "other side" in a very nice way.I am VERY glad that you don't have that type of conception.I feel better.Glad that you opened the frontier and adding that "besides" ,because that is very relevant.

Hello fellow meat eater. I eat meat and love it. I don't mind vegetarians. It's when they force their attitudes and methods of eating upon that really makes me mad. For this I believe they should be punished by having a raw sirloin steak rubbed in their face. I can understand why people want to be vegetarian, but I think when they choose to be vegetarian they choose to eat unhealthily. As an ending point to this argument I believe that all vegetarians should be forced to have their canine teeth removed. These teeth are here for a reason, and one reason only - to tear meat, and as vegetarians don't need them they should be willing to give them up. It also provides a great method of identifying vegetarians in a crowd of people. We are superior beings, start acting like one!


myLot reputation of 91/100. hoz9991 (188)   ranked 2,357 out of 24,082 in people  4 years ago

For every cow you don't eat, I will eat two.


myLot reputation of 87/100. Profetu (404)   ranked 997 out of 24,082 in people  4 years ago

Thanks for that opinion. Yes plants are alive, at least until we hack them into tiny bits and drown them in oil and vinegar or put them in boiling water. How cruel!Vegetarianism is a healthy, sound choice for many, part of their culture for others. I respect that. I'm not sure about vegans tho - no dairy or eggs. On the other hand it sometimes strikes me as odd that adult humans regularly feed on the milk intended for the young of other species. I wonder if that happens elsewhere in the animal kingdom?

When PETA releases videos of cute little animals being skinned alive it gets much more of a reaction than a video of people picking tomatoes. Eating vegetables is much much more humane than eating meat. I personally am not a vegetarian, but I can see where they are coming from.


myLot reputation of 87/100. Profetu (404)   ranked 997 out of 24,082 in people  4 years ago

Very true about animal cruelty.But think of this : what if the nature intended for the tomato to scream? i know it's weird and funny...would the situation change?
