Veganism?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm not trying to do the animals any favors when I don't eat meat. It's mostly purely selfish on my part. I'm just completely grossed out when I bite into a chicken breast or something and there's the big spot of red, or all the veins and stuff. Just makes me want to hurl, I'm eating "Flesh" and I personally find it distasteful.
And this next part may sound infantile and stupid but ever since my daughter was killed I always think of the poor little veal cows Mom's pain having her babies taken away. That's the worst cruelty I think. Ive obliviously been influenced by my loss
However, I don't care who eats meat or who doesn't. The way I look at it "Each to their own, and Who am I to judge." I think its mostly a personal choice and harping about the moralities isn't going to change anyone's choices.
However, most of the people at my job no longer eat eggs cause everytime they'd offer me one I'd say "No thank you, I gave up Fetus for Lent" They've told me they all think about that now when they're going to order eggs somewhere. Now my line is when they offer me Beef, Pork or Chicken for example I say " Oh chicken, the other DEAD meat".
It's also possible for me to avoid meat because I'm not in any kind of survival situation. Cause trust me,if it came down to the wire and kallister was already dead (or maybe still alive you never know what your capable of until your put in that kind of situation.)I'd be the first one carving up kallisters thighs.
No wait, are thighs white meat or dark?

I think I'm just going to try and eat more veggies for now on. I don't know what it will do with the issues of farm animals being slaughtered for waste. That documentary I saw days ago is still making me want to reconsider what I eat.

BTW, how did we get to cannibalism?

I hate telling people that I don't eat meat because they always assume that I think it's morally wrong to eat animals, or that I'm passing judgment on their food preferences. Neither of those things are true. I just don't eat meat. I'm nearly vegan, but I'm tired of explaining why. I even try to hide this fact just so that I won't have to talk about it.

I wouldn't be able to be any type of vegetarian. I have to have my meat. I know that sounds bad, but I have to have my meat.

I used to be a vegetarian but I got sick of it. I felt like a grotesque giant stomping about the world, crushing billions of delicate, beautiful and exotic creatures, all the while holding in my hands a tiny dead butterfly and saying "Look at me! I'm such a good person for not eating this thing!" Humans cause so much damage simply by existing that attempting to live through one's life without harming another living creature is a futile battle; there is not much a person can do, short of going to live in the wilderness in a yurt and sustaining yourself on berries.

On another note, my mother's friend is a vegan. She is the most evil witch of a woman I have ever had the displeasure of knowing.

I was vegan during my first year at university. Just a veggie again now (don't have enough time to cook these days), but I hope to revert back some time in the future. The hardest thing is finding protein and calcium replacements to things like cheese. (B12 is easy: you can buy supplements or just drink a lot of guiness/red bull)
