Nobody is upset or said it's the worst thing on the planet. In fact, this thread was obviously started with a bias that not eating meat makes you necessarily healthier. I don't see how responding to this sillyness represents hate for your diet.  |
If you notice one thing about me and my vegetarianism, yes I do talk about it, but i dont try and push it on people, nor do I preach my compassion for animals. I was a hunter before going veg, I grew up eating, skinning, killing any animal that I could aim my gun at... to me the change I made is huge and i did it for my health and my own personal choices. It seems that because Cherry and I are vegetarians now, that anytime we post in these threads we get the "oh god here is cherry and fletch, we get it we know youre vegetarian" there are plenty of other vegetarians here. We share our thoughts, and recipes.
You guys start going off on how unhealthy vegetarians are and all kinds of shit, soy causes brain damage etc... lol someone brings up Bovine and its like the topic is new LOL, i have too many books about this to sit back and think some thread is going to have any valuable info in it, the brain damage angle simple hilarious when compared to mad cow disease lol
the stereotype you guys have of some puny vegetarian that is unhealthy and weak is simply untrue. Its all about stereotypes, and I assure you, I eat a way more balanced and nutricious meal than most vegans. But ive eaten this way forever, meat has never agreed with my stomach, it hurt me as a kid, so i cut it out of my diet as an adult, and it seems staying away from eating cows or drinking cow mucos, sets me apart from the crowd in a way that threatens them. I compare the veg vs meat debate to mac vs pc, the debate will never end with a winner, in the end of theday you eat what you eat and i eat what i eat.
This is the main reason i dont preach vegetarianism, i simply talk about what wrks for me, or what I have done personally.... notice im never in these threads calling meat eaters names, however, its not the same way towards me.
I told cherry long ago that i would not preach vegetarian living, but only mention that i practice it, and it seems even that is enough to get me unwanted attention, i assure you, you will never see me in these threads saying negative things about others its not worth my time and nor is explaining my diet to strangers on a forum.
I only mention that I am veg, i dont preach it to people.
