Sorry to be a spelling Nazi, but I believe it's "veggie".

Indeed, Sloww is right. If somebody told me I couldn't have steak, beef pies or sausages ever again I think I'd hang myself.

Why in the world would you do that?

Where do all these horrible misconceptions about vegetarian diets come from? You get just as much variety in a vegetarian diet as in an omnivorous diet. There's a hell of alot more different vegtebles and fruits then there are meats, anyways.

Well, that may be true, but I really only like 3 vegetables:
-spinach
-"white coal" (chaufleurs?) (I mainly like cheese sauce that goes with it, the coal itself is okay if it melts in my mouth and doesn't actually taste like coal)
-asperges ( I only eat the small yellow tops - the other part disgusts me)

I also don't eat fruit, ever

If meat ceased to exist, I'd have to go fruits, nuts, and berries, and potatos; because as a whole, vegetables suck.

By removing options, you limit variety by definition. Ergo, an omnivorous diet has LESS variety than an all veggie one.

And the second quoted sentence makes absolutely no sense whatsover. Being omnivorous doesn't prevent you from eating the "more different vegetables", nor is it a reason to be a veggie.

Im 90% veggie anyway because I have a real problem with the way animals are treated in those factory farms.

The good thing is that by now I can figure out if a vegetable is eatable or not simply by smelling and touching it and I don't have to put nasty stuff in my mouth anymore

Humans can survive well without meat. Proto-humans weren't hunters until Homo erectus was around. We mostly lived on nuts, fruits and veggies until we discovered fire.

this seems like the right place to ask: are bananas berries?

I've heard that a lot of times but it just doesn't sound right.


btw, I'm a meat eater and proud of it. My goal in life is to taste as many different animals as possible.

I'm pro-meat, but am beginning to have doubts.

I drive alot for my new job, and occasionally I drive past a "Pork Plant" in the middle of central Illinois (U.S.). The plant consists of about 16-20 gigantic shiny metal silos, with pipes connecting the tops of the silos to each other. I am assuming it is a rendering plant of some kind, although I'm not quite sure what rendering means.

Just driving past it makes me think twice about eating anything that contains processed pork.

I think Homer once asked:

If we weren't suppose to eat it than why did they make it taste so good?

Meat is Good. I got 1/3 of a cow and 1/2 of a pig in my freezer right now, and I am salavating just think about it.

I have been to ranches and have seen how the animals live, die, and get to my plate... hasn't changed my mind.

I want some pig right now in fact.

Source?

Chimpanzees hunt. I can easily believe that the Australopithecus genus hunted, with the exception of Robustus (an evolutionary dead end. Add it up), and probably Ramapithecus too.

Yup. We probably lived mainly on vegetables and insects, but I bet we never passed up good meat when it arrived.

Personally speaking, if it can't climb out of a bucket I'll eat it.
