Now that's a crunchy omelette.

I see it as odd..but hey, nature is odd.
Meat is good. Eggs are delicious with cheese, bacon, and toast, IMHO.

Thanks. You've convinced me. 28 years of vegetarianism over and done with. I knew my logic was faulty but until that post I just couldn't prove it.
I think I'm gonna come back to meat eating full force and skip past common fare, going straight for free range human flesh.
Zombie? Can I get an amen?

I don't have a problem with vegetanarianism, per se, what I have a problem with is some of the stupid arguments I've heard to justify vegetenarianism. If you have a valid thought out reason, I'm all for that, if you don't eat "flesh" because it's murder, then you're an idiot (not refering to you jade, just refering to idiots from my past)
As for the chicken egg how is that any different than finding a peanut inside a peanut? or a conjoined tomatoe?
Personally I'd just think it was awesome if it happened to me.
Mmmmm.....amen.I think I'm gonna come back to meat eating full force and skip past common fare, going straight for free range human flesh.

Could have written... can I get 'a man'... and some steak sauce.

Nope. You missed the comment I made of "IMHO".
Had I not made that addition, my comment would have been derogatory to your feelings and opinions, which is not at all what I wished to state. I merely stated my humble and lowly opinion.

Honestly...I feel that the apprehension and social aversion we feel towards the concept of cannibalism (a taboo) is one that is based in the idea that it is "primitive" to do such a thing. I think you can lump evil and immoral onto that bonfire as well.
Let's put it this way...whereas I am not drooling over the thought of a juicy quarter pound man-burger...If I were lacking other forms of protein for sustenance I wouldn't hesitate to eat human flesh. It's simply a matter of survival at that point.

As in, A1 ? Blech...I'm thinking human flesh would need something tangier...like...say...Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce...mmmm...manchioves....mmm...
That's cool guys, I hear you.
My intention with this thread was just a light spot of fun on a Tuesday afternoon is all. Thing is, I used the word vegetarian and I set a couple people off. When you say vegetarian in public you sometimes have to listen to folks then reflexively rail against the diet because they've met an annoying vegetarian before. I met a few annoying vegetarians when I was a kid and they not only failed to convert me, their actions caused me to eat meat with an outright vengeance. Why? Because the sting of people's sudden judgement sucks. Vegetarians don't do that, a$$h*l#s do. So I'm never open to hearing my harmless lifestyle get judged because that's just more of the same. You guys want a burger? Go for yours, baby. No worries. I'll even pass you the ketchup and won't regale you with slaughter house stories (and that was just my FIRST date in high school!).
It's like someone putting up a thread about something funny that happened in a church they attend and calling it, "One good reason why I never miss church," and then obligatorily netting the unprovoked and rageful atheist hammer from a guy who left the flock because his priest once acted disrespectfully or the Spanish Inquisition happened. I'm an atheist and yet most of my best friends are churchgoers. How does that happen? Maturity and tolerance. That which binds us is far stronger than that which divides. I've been told that for an atheist I live a near exemplary Christian lifestyle. That's no small feat considering I'm snorting powdered blow-fish mixed with blow off the butt of a partial corpse in a Super Eight Motel in Tulsa as I write this.
Killing an animal is killing an animal. If murder is a term that only applies to people killing people, then meat is not murder, it's just killing. The semantics of the rhetoric on either side of that argument don't interest me. I just do what I do and I don't bother anyone, well except for the bloodthirsty cruelty I've shown tofu... I'll have to atone for that one day. It's a personal decision. I'm not a part of a greater organization. I like my life and my choices. I touch myself sometimes. Plums are delicious. I enjoy the potency of short sentences. I can't stop writing them.
Can't we all just get along and then have a drunken orgy involving lots of whirring props and scaffolding?
mmmm...manchovies....mmm...
You... you do know you're eating balls, right?
I ate a vegetarian once...tasted like chicken...weird...

Well said Jade. I wish more atheists that I know were like you.

Dude, that was a chicken dressed as a vegetarian (sandals, slogany T-shirts and all). Considering he was trying so hard to masquerade himself as human in a community of people unlikely to eat him, you must have confused the hell out of him in those final terrifying moments.
Well said Jade. I wish more atheists that I know were like you.
Thanks, Gary. :)
Jade, I appreciate your position on being a Vegetarian and making this post. It sounds to be something that you've truly thought through, as an informed individual. I applaud that. I especially applaud your being comfortable enough with your own convictions to allow others to choose as they see fit, too. That really says something of the individual.
I for one, am an omnivore. I feel that we were designed ( EDIT - WE EVOLVED, not WE WERE DESIGNED ) to be as such, and came up the food tree with all other critters. Our path just so happens to have been one of an omnivore. Our path also includes a conscience and choice, which we may freely make for ourselves. Yeay!!!
This however does not mean that I feel that we as a society are not disgustingly and grossly in violation of our role as stewards towards the other families of animals on this earth. In particular as Americans, I feel that our society should disavow the factory farming approach to common food animals (cattle, chicken, swine, for example). We *DO* eat entirely too much meat, and it should be (IMHO) rethought. I like the asian cultures, for instance, where meat is an ingredient and not the feature of a dish. I also believe this can be done in a humane and responsible manner to minimize the impact on living creatures...
To wrap up, I feel that we as humans are omnivores with the ability to make conscious decisions about our diet. I feel that many societies are too meat focused, and a far more balanced approach should be taken.
I think I'm gonna come back to meat eating full force and skip past common fare, going straight for free range human flesh.
Don't forget the fava beans and a nice chianti!
Since we supposedly taste like chicken, white wine might be better.
I just read in National Geographic that moray eels have a second set of jaws in their throat like the Alien creature.
I didn't know that.Two eggs---it's a sign, duod. Something heavy's gonna happen soon.
Den: "Yes... a sign..."
Dan: "I had no idea what she was talking about"
Surprisingly some herbivores also eat meat on occasion. I saw a nature show where a hippo was eating a dead zebra that had drowned during a crossing with other animals. They even mentioned on the show that on rare occasion a hippo might kill an animal and eat it. I think nature's dietatary setup is more complex than some would like.
Historically, research has found that humanity's ancenstors increased in brain capacity at the same time as they increased their meat consumption. Having a "high" (how high is arguable) protein diet can help humans develop mentally. While there are ways to obtain these proteins from various plants, meat is still the easiest way to obtain them (and most often tastes better too ;D ). There has even been a few cases of (insane/stupid) vegans who tried to raise their infants on non-protein diet (not even breastmilk), causing serious brain damage to the child. Protein is important to children's development, it doesn't have to come from animal products, but that is the easiest way.

Either that or Beastmaster, the memory is fuzzy right now. I watched both A LOT when I was a youngster, but haven't seen either since the 80's.
Re: the (sort of) topic. The "vegan/non-vegetarian" dynamic is much like the "religion/science debate". Most people on either side of the debate don't wear it on their sleeves, and are live and let live types.
The minority on both sides are a$$holes.
Good comeback to a proselytizing vegan, especially if they're athiests (the two seem to go hand in hand, for some reason...):
"You may have your morals, but I have my bifocal vision, canine teeth and my ability to draw some of my sustenance from meat, as in, I am biologically capable of digesting flesh."
Did somebody say BACON?

Was it? I bought that last year but haven't seen it since the early 80's. You gave me an excuse to watch it again and find out. No worries if it's not in there. I'm happy just to have the excuse.

Aw man... now I have to go get that too.
Thanks for weighing in, TD. Looks like I'm going to be seeing a lot of movies.
Vegetarian = old Cherokee word for "bad hunter"
In all seriousness though Jade I commend you for your eloquent expression of your beliefs. If a bit rambling. But what ever, you like short sentences. So do I. If a non believer and a believer can get along. Why can't we all. Short and simple.
Me? Rambling? Where are you GETTING THIS FROM?

I went back to check. I think actually it is supposed to be a red yolk but it always looked like blood, the witches' name is Mortianna.

Yeah, I guess I really am one for the scenic route. <sigh>
But aren't the trees lovely?

One beef I have with some vegetarians (all puns intended) is when they go all "vegan straight-edge hardliner." Like this america-bashing, art-stealing f*!&head from DeviantArt.
He turned my artwork, a personal tattoo design, into a hardliner vegan symbol WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. He merely did it, then told me, "hey, I riffed on your design. And by the way, I'm an a!!$~+&." That alone wouldn't have been so bad, if he hadn't had this in his gallery. I really lit into him over that one.

I've been flipping back and forth from carnivore to vegan and back again for years and even when I ain't eatin' meat, I still wear it! I went into a health food store and got the rolled eyes from some stuck up cashier a few weeks back when I mentioned I was on a "vegan trend" and he looked at my jacket and shoes. I tossed my calf-skin leather clad foot on the counter and laughed and said "they're still animals and I'll always be using them for something, though!". I don't think I can go back there now.....

Here is an interesting article on that particular taste.
Veal ftw!
I'm not a vegetarian, however I do not eat much meat. It's pretty common over here to eat dishes with a lot of veggies where meat is used only to enrich the sauce, so you'll find a few pieces of fatty pork, but a whole lot of vegetables. Never more than an ounce of chicken or pork a day. Even better, some mutton or roast dog.
I haven't had a steak for 8 years. Had a hamburger about 5 months ago.
I don't really see any reason to eat a lot of meat, it's environmentally wasteful, expensive and unnecessary to maintain my health, and on the other hand, I don't see any reason to cut it out of my diet completely, because that's just a serious frickin nuisance.
