Vegetarianism

[Section_31]

I get what you mean, but it makes far more fucking sense than a 'vegi' who eats chicken.

 

If anything, eating fish is actually more cruel in some ways. Cows, sheep and pigs are bred for eating. If there was no food industry they wouldn't exist, it's not like they'd all be roaming the forests somewhere eating honey.

 

Fish, on the other hand, are swimming around the Atlantic minding their own business until they get scooped up en mass by a bunch of jocks, half of which get thrown back to keep the prices up.

If you eat fish you are not a vegetarian.

Fish doesn't even come close to chicken.

 

Which was why I specifically made the point about 'vegis' that eat chicken.

 

The most intensively reared and farmed meat with decades of evidence showing its our 'worst' meat by miles to eat.

I've a few in the freezer

Nice bit of meat

What about shrimp?

[neko]

If this whole fish and vegetarianism argument is aimed at me, I never said I was a vegetarian.

 

I do like fish....and bacon, of course.

 

I haven't reached the point where I'm willing to cut out any meat 100% in my diet.

[lifetime fan]

Ostrich is beautiful, they're about a dozen next to the golf course we play.

 

We were having a pint with the farmer after a round and he explained he needed a licence to keep them under some kind of dangerous animals act.

 

He was missing the tips of two fingers to be fair but insisted that had nothing to do with them.

 

I walked past with my driver still in hand mind.

Nah not aimed at you Paul, I haven't read the thread - there's a bird in our place who does and it baffles me. I just wonder at what point an animal stops being an animal.

They might be ugly little fuckers that nobody would eat if they crawled on the land but they are still animals.

And tastey. Dont forget very fucky tastey.

I cant wait to get to Goa late this year. King prawns the size of your forearm

[Bjornebye]

Shrimp gave me the worst shits ever once.

 

I don't trust anyone who doesn't eat bacon.

Johnny Cash was attacked by an ostrich; broke his ribs, ripped into his belly and afterwards he spiralled into painkiller addiction. Keep that driver handy.

[Tony Moanero]

Calls me a Tory, then cites a magazine owned and edited by a Tory MP. Brilliant.

 

Evil trolling fucking braindead cunt.

Give over.

[Strontium]

You probably came out of that encounter better than he did.

[Trumo]

Now THAT is funny!

Not sure SD. I was in a bad way.

What about clams?

[Remmie]

What I don't get is meaties pontificating over the vagaries of vegetarianism, especially the moral side of it when they eat the lot

You and Rico would team up well on the Positive Islam thread.

[Anny Road]

I actually admire veges.

It takes an awful lot of discipline give up something which is obviously tasty and we are instinctively drawn to do.

Simply on the basis of your convictions. Its not for me and I reserve the right to take the piss but clap clap anyway.

[Boss]

for the life of me I'll never understand a veggie eating fish, absolutely baffling. Bird in our work does. 

 

You can't be a vegetarian if you eat fish. She's a pescetarian.

[Boss]

Nah not aimed at you Paul, I haven't read the thread - there's a bird in our place who does and it baffles me. I just wonder at what point an animal stops being an animal. 

 

Some people use the philosophy of can it feel pain? Scientists say fish don't have a central nervous system that can process pain. I personally think that's bullshit because if you've ever seen a big fish being attacked by a shark or any other predator, it shits itself and does everything in it's power to escape. How would it know it's being bitten if it doesn't feel pain?

We teamed up well on your maa mate so I can see it working.

That's what I initially thought your skiing thread was about.
