Veganism & vegetarianism
#31
RE: Veganism & vegetarianism
I east fish and poultry, but nothing on four legs. I use almond milk and forgo cheese and butter. I used to eat Activia yogurt for the probiotics but found it better to stay away from all dairy products.

During hunting season in my town they sell the venison in the local grocery store. Eating wild meat may seem more humane than eating industry bred meat but it occurs to me that the body releases certain chemicals (2 in particular that I can’t recall off the top of my head) when in stress that put it into the flight or fight mode. Eating an animal that was killed while running for its life is in essence, eating fear, or at least ingesting the chemicals that accompany fear.

I tried straight up vegetarianism, but when I saw all the chemicals used to make a soy bean look taste and feel like a hotdog, I said fuck that. When I think of all the genetically modified vegetables and the E.coli that’s been going around seemingly on some kind of schedule, I’m like damn I won’t be able to eat anything after a while.

Do you guys feel like it’s easier to be an atheist in a theistic world than it is to be a vegan in a meat eating world?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I'm an omnivore. Beef used to be a larger proportion of my diet, but it's giving way to more chicken. I don't eat pork very often except in the forms of bacon or sausage -- but I made a pork stew last night that came out great.

Every so often I will skip eating meat for a day or two, but I don't want to go full-fledged vegetarian.

Omnivore (mostly chicken and fish; beef and pork eeeeeehvery once in awhile), former vegetarian. I've shared this many times over the years here, so I'll be brief: as a vegetarian, my nut allergy frequently almost killed me. It's more feasible for me to go back to vegetarianism now that the FDA requires all the labeling...

... but bacon :p

Does anybody realize pigs are significantly smarter than cats or dogs? They certainly aren't as cute but if eating a cat or dog would give you the willies, why would you feel more comfortable eating pork or bacon?

I can certainly eat vegetarian, and sometimes like to, but I like meat.
