I'm not.

When I was (twice) it was for moral reasons (1st time) and health reasons (2nd time).

Right now I'm on the Atkins diet. Down 17 pounds since 11/1/03.

I made the switch for ethical / political reasons, but I wouldn't have it any other way now that I've made the change, regardless of my beliefs.

Since turning my back on all modern civilisation I've discovered that vegetables are easier to hunt.

I flirt with vegetarianism. Meat is actually a bit boring and I'm trying to make it a smaller part of my diet so that it accompanies some meals instead of dominating them.

I, however, am failing miserably at this task.

I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals, I'm a vegetarian because I hate vegetables.

BTW, Sava, about your new sig:

I resent that. These people are far more binded in ideology as old communists.

you know, millions of animals are killed by harvesting equipment used to harvest vegetables, so unless you eat hand picked ones, you can't claim a moral high ground for that.

how is it more efficient, btw?

more meat = more protien = more muscle mass, brain power, etc.

because meat is grown by feeding animals stuff that we can eat

over 100 people could live off the vegetables that is fed so that 1 person can have meat

So if everyone in the US stopped eating meat, they could eat about 100x the amount of vegetables they now eat.

Yeah, sure. What a good idea.

World Hunger

The senseless waste of the world’s growing meat-centered diet is illustrated by the following hypothetical statement: “If everyone adopted a vegetarian diet and no food were wasted, current [food] production would theoretically feed 10 billion people, more than the projected population for the year 2050,” according to the Population Reference Bureau, a Washington, D.C.-based research group. Even today, 840 million people are malnourished and nearly 50,000 die of starvation every day.

Men’s Health

The second leading cause of cancer death among men -- prostate cancer -- is not just an inevitable outcome of getting old; it is the result of a lifetime diet of animal fats. The fats stimulate the production of male hormones, which in turn spur prostate cancer cells to grow. Radiation, cryosurgery (the freezing of malignant cells) and traditional surgery are the treatments. But don’t worry: there are condom catheters for the incontinence and penile implants for the impotence.
