Vegetarianism

[lifetime fan]

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

I got snowboarding and motorboating confused.

[skend04]

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

She said it was meh and there was a distinct lack of teamwork.

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?

Sheep can't feel pain if you give them the  Anton Chigurh treatment right in the back of the head.

What about clams?

Somehow they count as animals.

[cloggypop]

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

I don't really eat fish. It's not a moral thing I just don't like most of it, especially seafood. There are only a few animals I do eat. This means that a person claiming to be vegetarian that eats fish actually eats more variety of animals than me, a non vegetarian.

 

I don't get why people try to define themselves as something they are not. I am not a vegetarian and neither are fish eaters. Just eat what the fuck you like and are comfortable with.

I was watching this video the other day about the wool industry and it's really traumatised me. The bird in it is sensational though. I keep getting these Nam style flashbacks, but instead of it being about a foxhole or Napalm, it's about a sheep getting choke slammed into the ground like something out of Royal Rumble. Fuck.

I don't eat fish but don't mind veggies that do calling themselves Vegetarian. Most people don't know what a Pescetarian is and it's just easier to say Vegetarian. The only people it ever seems to bother are Meat eaters as usual, getting het up by what other people eat.

I had a stunning piece of battered cod last night. If I was veggie I'd probably miss bacon and fish only. Chicken is meh, and I tend not to eat a lot of red meat unless it's a really good slab of steak that barely touches the pan.

Ive seen Seals,Penguins,Sea Birds and stuff shitting themselves when being attacked my a big shark but they are mammals and not fish. Fish just seem to try and get out the way.

[cloggypop]

Most of them are not mammals.

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

What kind of God stops you eating bacon? Just miserable if you ask me.

[Rico1304]

How do you veggies square eating eggs when 99% of male chickens are minced?

It's easier to say I eat fish than vegetarian. Less syllables.

 

The only people I know who judge others on what they eat are vegans. They are all mental though.

A cruel one. A very cruel one.

I don't find Vegans to be judgy at all

My mate once got attacked by Ian Mackaye at a gig because he was eating a burger.

Yeah she's unreal, agreed. Have seen videos on her channel in the past too, the chicken one was the one that traumatised me when I saw the neck-slicing conveyer belts. I actually thought it was a bit ott showing that out of nowhere when a few or most of her other videos weren't so shocking, but it's the truth and she's vegan as far as I remember, so fair enough.

Stuff like that just makes me lean closer to switching to vegan. Have been used to veggie for a few years now, so if I learn enough soon about how to get nutrients properly from vegan foods I might make that switch. I don't rely on supplements for most vitamins and minerals because a lot of them are synthetic in a bad way (standard multivitamin and mineral supplements for instance, contain some right shite as far as I know after reading around recently), so am in the process of sorting my diet out more then should think about that more seriously.

 

Thanks for mentioning it.

[Red Phoenix]

Just about to eat some eggs too, awesome. The more I get put off them, the better in the long run I suppose. The only alternative would be to find a truly good local provider that just keeps tons of chickens and doesn't kill males, but that could be hard. Might look into that too though.

[Lee909]

Just buy your own chickens and leave them in the garden

Fuck that. Looking after a Catfish stresses me out enough! I'm not adding chickens into the mix just so that I can pinch their eggs.

[cloggypop]

Chickens are easy. I used to have one called Tikka. Best eggs ever.

or thinks the Rolling Stones are sin and evil. just do one. granted, dirty work is shit but give me a break
