Vegetarianism/Veganism

[Nathan]

As has been said before: Meat is murder. Sweet, delicious murder.

[Ed Hocken]

The way I see it, it's either you or the cow. And I'm not giving the cow the opportunity.

Just ask this scienitician.

[Matt]

The only thing really keeping me from trying a vegetarian diet is Sam Elliot. He keeps telling me about beef. It's what's for dinner.

[Abraham Smashington]

I'm sure I could go vegan, but like Ed said it can get too fucking expensive. Plus once again, I really fucking love meat.

[Nathan]

However, veal is straight fucked up.

[Abraham Smashington]

yet oh so tasty.

[Abraham Smashington]

Someone needs to find a picture of that meat baby. I'd still eat the fuck outta that thing.

[Matt]

I like veal, but I eat it very rarely (pun intended). Seriously, I eat it maybe once every 3-4 years.

[Abraham Smashington]

Yeah, same. It's not like I'm chowing down on baby cows every week. I think I've had it maybe 3-4 times ever.

Concur'd. Not only that, but you'll also have take supplements.

[Abraham Smashington]

Last time I tried that I got sick. Note to self, don't buy supplements from a guy in a trenchcoat hanging outside the gas station.

[B_Metal]

I like meat. Fuck people that don't. I don't trust em.

Also, most vegetarians I've met are self involved assholes who love to preach their shit. Just like PETA people.

Amen. Preaching to the choir.

As an irishman who went vegitarian, I assume you got many a potato joke. *Ducks in case of offense*

Oh yes. To be fair, I did/do bring it on myself, though. I have an unnatural love of potatoes - even for someone from here. The vast majority of my university diet comprised of them in one form or another. I appreciate your candor, but I think I'm literally incapable of taking offense at any affiliation with or reference to potatoes (pron. "pa-TAY-duz.") For this and more, I truly belong in the stereotype thread.

Yah, I wouldn't pay for a suppository with an enema, myself.

[Lisa]

I'm like half vegetarian. By that I mean that I cook a lot of vegetarian meals. But that's like half.

The other half has no veggies.

My wife was vegetarian before our kid. Did it because she didn't eat too much meat anyway. And I get that mass-produced meat is horrible, and we should pay more for our meat. SO we do the Mark Bittman diet and eat vegan/vegetarian by day, and omnivorous by night.

Hey, is this Martin Martin? Yeah, I'm doing that too, thanks to you! I still eat meat, and not going full-on Bittman, but I'd say at this point I'm doing about 50/50, half vegetarian/half chompy-down-on-the-animals. It's really working out fairly well, thanks again for that advice!

For me, I'd love to give up meat for "I love animals and don't want to eat them" reasons. But I also like meat too much, and actually, I DO feel better when I have it than when I don't. So the cutting way back aspect of the Bittman diet is nice, I'm really liking it.
