Do you go to UNC?

^ I think he does.

I have eaten so much raw beef in my life that I should be dead by now according to the anti-meat propaganda.

Ergo, thanks for bringing in the nutjub propaganda.

And all I have to say to any vegetarian/vegan/whatever. It's your freedom to choose how/what you want to eat. I think it's dumb, but it's your choice and I respect that. However, too many vegetations, etc go too far. Remember that this is your diet choice, and others have the same freedom as you. So don't to force this anit-meat, anti-pet, etc garbage on others. Don't spread propaganda (like Ergo), or be a card carrying member/associated/etc with extremist groups like PETA, or else you will get lash back from non-vegetarians, etc.

If you also want to eat healthier I suggest you read Fast Food Nation. don't watch the movie its shitty but the book is good. I haven't eaten fast food burgers in over 8+ years now and I am really picky about my ground meat. I have to see it get ground...

but ya that book made my friend in hs go vegan and then he lost a lot of weight but he went vegan for animal rights etc. not for health reasons.

fast food nation really impacted me too, i recommend it.

the omnivores dilemma is on my list, a friend from work was telling me about it and it sounds interesting

1/3/2009 12:24:29 PM

Because it's easy to anthropomorphize animals because they have faces and it's easy to project the human emotions of sadness and fear on them?

Jesus I'm still hungover from NYE and I can come up with this shit.

my cousin's wife is a vegetarian and she has forced her beliefs upon their first child and their second child has peanut allergies, which greatly restricts his protein intake considering he is not allowed to eat meat. she is fucking retarded. i hope she realizes how vital protein is for development of a child's brain.

so people cant eat peanuts now because of mr fucking planters?

sorry but I just don't think that this is a good enough reason to kill every other living organism instead

As an aside, does anybody remember those peanut butter and chocolate candies that Planter's marketed many years ago? They were shaped liked peanuts. Damn......

[Edited on January 3, 2009 at 5:57 PM. Reason : ^ not sure what those were]

1/3/2009 5:54:45 PM

hadn't thought about those in years... but they WERE good!

1/3/2009 5:57:19 PM

I had forgotten about those. I wonder why they stopped making them.

I think we should all eat aborted fetuses. Human lives aren't any more valuable than any other.

Actually, the reason we cook ground beef all the way through is to kill off the E. Coli bacteria...but you are right...the REASON E. Coli gets into the ground meat to begin with is microscopic bits of manure....most of which are stuck to the cattle during slaughter.

E. Coli lives in the cows intestines, and so it's not necessarily "shit" that splashes, but interstines, manure, and a whole lot of others things get mixed in. I am not a vegan (which is different from a vegetarian - stop using the wrong term) but it is dangerous to eat raw meat. I mean, go right ahead and eat it if you want but nearly all ground meat is contaminated with the bacteria. It's just NATURE...when you live by yourself in the woods, you rarely catch a cold but if you surround yourself with people, you'll get sick..just like the cattle in large groups..the bacteria spreads when they are alive and when they are slaughtered...batches of meat might contain 1, or 2, or 10 bacteria which multiply exponentially every 20 minutes...and therefore, you are only putting yourself at risk.
