Happy Birthday to the "Should We Eat Meat" Thread

[loseyourname]

It turned one on the 27th and we still haven't resolved the issue yet.

Cheers! I'm breaking out the BBQ. Burgers anyone?

[abitofnothingleft]

how bout veggie burgers? :tongue2: :smile:

although this is a pointless thread and probably could've been posted in the should we eat meat thread.

I'll have two. One for my hunger and another just for the vegetarians :tongue2:

Cheers! I'm breaking out the BBQ. Burgers anyone?I'll take one!!!!

That is one of the threads that will never die, like "ask a stupid quetion", "girl trouble" and "cutest guy/gal".

I stoped eating meat and all animal based foods 9 years ago. Never been happier in my life :smile: Go for it people!

Don't be silly!!! :tongue2: Of course the issue was resolved. The inescapable conclusion was that meat-eating makes one a pterodactyl, and therefore destined for extinction, which is why vegetarians will inherit the Earth.

Ah, but if there's just two living organisms left on Earth, me and a vegetarian, I can eat the vegetarian. :rofl:

:uhh: Not that it will get me very far. :rolleyes:

Would be really scrawny and not at all meaty. Like a rabbit.

Long live bacon!

If we don't eat meat, cows and chickens will go extinct.

Well, if the veggie burgers inherit the Earth, then we'll love most all animals, including cows, so we'll be having lots of milk to make cheese out of, and then pizza! If you convert now, I'll give you some.

Ooh, pizza! Can I have pepperoni on mine? :uhh: Oh, shucks, that's made out of meat, isn't it? Sorry, I like meat too much to ever give it up.

Gonzolo's comment about the cows and chickens going extinct isn't necessarily all that far off the mark. There are already breeds of domestic animals that have gone extinct or nearly extinct, because when they stopped being the most profitable breed, nobody was interested in paying to store germ cells or to continue raising and breeding them to preserve the breed.

If we don't eat meat, cows and chickens will go extinct.Unless your vegan, milk, cheese and eggs will still be popular.

I could be vegetarian but I could not be vegan. My younger daughter had a vegan friend so she decided to go vegan for a couple of weeks to see what it was like, of course that meant I had to be vegan for the same time period so she wouldn't be tempted. :grumpy: She caved in after 3 days. It was the soy milk that did it. I have never gotten it all off of the ceiling from when she spit it out in horror from her first taste. She actually thought it was going to taste like milk and not a combination of weeds and yeast. :rofl:

According to my security intelligence... the point of this thread is to start discuessing eating meat here, and thus we will make "shoudl we eat meat" thread die in peace after a long run. The declared intention for this thread to say happy birthday is just a tactic for the evil cuase [and i am extreme ;)]

My security intelligence guys/girls could be wrong....

[Evo]

You could be right Moses. :biggrin:

[Math Is Hard]

Happy Birthday "Should We Eat Meat"! I baked you a vegan carrot cake. Sorry if it doesn't taste all that good. I couldn't use eggs and milk, y'know.

[singleton]

I was vegetarian for a decent period of time (nearly 10 years). One day I stopped that nonsense and haven't looked back since :D

Hmmm... maybe I should've picked pigs then... I like soy milk, but I've only tried the chocolate flavored. It kinda tastes like what hay smells, I don't mind that at all. I buy it regularly. I actually buy and eat a few veggie products (burgers esp.), but not to replace meat, just for variety. Actually, I think the world would be better off if no one ate meat. Land could be used to make food for people instead of cows. But steak, burgers, chicken and ribs just taste too good.

...and we still haven't resolved the issue yet. I dunno about that - the chicken stir fry I had for dinner last night resolved it pretty well for me. :biggrin:

Incidentally, did anyone catch that wife-swap show on Fox last night? It had an activist vegan California woman and a stereotypical aligator-herding Louisianan swap families. Needless to say, there was some friction on the issue. The vegan woman far exceeded just about every negative hippie stereotype.

Well, we know what the prospect of meat did to the frenzied Bacchantes :devil:

Thereat we fled, to escape being torn in pieces by the Bacchantes; but they, with hands that bore no weapon of steel, attacked our cattle as they browsed. Then wouldst thou have seen Agave mastering some sleek lowing calf, while others rent the heifers limb from limb. Before thy eyes there would have been hurling of ribs and hoofs this way and that; and strips of flesh, all blood-bedabbled, dripped as they hung from the pine-branches. Wild bulls, that glared but now with rage along their horns, found themselves tripped up, dragged down to earth by countless maidens' hands. The flesh upon their limbs was stripped therefrom quicker than thou couldst have closed thy royal eye-lids.

Libations!

I've seen that show a few times (or maybe it's the other wife-swapping show...I think there are two on, and I don't think I was watching on Fox); it's so bad I can't stop watching! They've done a few where they get people really opposite like that, one a totally skinny, exercise nut, vegetarian or vegan, and the other this blob that eats anything made of fat and grease or out of a box in the freezer who considers it exercise to get up off the couch and walk to the refrigerator. I find it funny just that they can keep finding people at both extremes like that.

BTW, for whoever mentioned it, cattle don't need to graze on land that's useful for growing crops for humans, and don't need to be fed our food. They can complement plant agriculture quite nicely by being grazed on hillsides and rocky land that isn't any good at all for food crops, just weeds, and being fed what's leftover of the plants after we get our food off them (unless you really wanted to eat the corn and wheat stalks, and not just the seeds on them). For most of our crops, we only eat the fruit or root or some other single part of the plant, and can't do anything to digest the rest, but cattle can digest it and convert it to very yummy protein for us. Besides, don't fool yourself into thinking the fertilizers and pesticides used on crops is any better for the environment than animal agriculture is.

I think I still vote for eating the vegetarians; it's much more environmentally friendly than farming. :rofl:

:eek: There actually exists such a thing as a wife swapping show ? :surprised

But we'ld run out soon or are they farmable? They seem to take up quite a lot of space.

:eek: There actually exists such a thing as a wife swapping show ? :surprisedYes, I thought it would be really stupid, but I caught part of one show and it wasn't what I thought at all. It's actually interesting. Gives you a look into different lifestyles. They usually trade polar opposites. Like the animal rights activist that was moved into the hunter's home. I LOVE animals, but when she started praying over the deer heads that had been mounted on the wall, even I felt a bit embarrassed. :redface:

The other show I caught was the military couple that beat their kids with leather straps, each kid had a leather strap hanging outside of their bedroom door, ready to be grabbed by the angry parent. They home schooled their kids to prevent them from mixing with "undesirables", and basically forbid them from engaging in any normal childhood activities.

I saw that episode! I couldn't believe it. They even called the straps the "smacker." It was just sick! I kept thinking how could the producers not be calling in the authorities on that couple! The father was just pscyho! He had some serious control issues and should have been carted off in a straight-jacket!

What I usually like about the shows is how at the end, the husbands are SO appreciative of their wives and everything they do for them. :approve:

Maybe you should ask the thread starter himself or herself whether we can eat meat!
