not correct. Im Vego and i have been for more than a year now, i did an ethics assignment on it in year 11 and made my up my decisoin from there. Fish don't have the same nervous system as say a cow or pig or any mammal for that matter, fish are in a different category and don't have the same nervous system to handle the pain as do cows etc.
a pig for example has the same intelligence of a 4 year old kid.....thats murder
what i dont get is people like phil and that other chick who worked in an abbatoir think its ok to eat meat, ofcourse they can have their own opinoins but they are narrow minded.
eating meat is so fu**ed up! you can get your nutrients from other vegetables and sources.. infact there have been several studies prove that eating meat is prone to causing many severe health issues...not only this but it screws the environment and like the chick who started this thread said...it contributes to fu**ing 3rd world countries up-creating more poverty...GREAT just what we need
why should you have to eat meat then? because it tastes good?? give your self an uppercut.
people are so ignorant that they think eating meat is what we are designed to do?? are you kidding me? god didnt create animals to be eaten. he said "i give you these seeds to grow your food" or something along that meaning not "here take these cows and eat them they taste bloody good!"
why should we be the ones to decide to eat meat?
think about the bad karma you bring yourself!!??
since ive been vego i have had ALOT of good karma, its great for the environment and great for your body! get protein from beans, lentils, etc etc
iron from mushrooms spinach etc etc
there is an abundance of foods you can eat to supplement the nutrients in meat!
excuse me but i know a bloke who works in an abbatoir and he tells me for a fact that the animals are treated like ****!
he told me that often the gun that the cows are hit with through the head often miss and they are left alive for a few minutes untill they shoot it again with the pressure gun. once they are killed they rip the eyes out chop the legs off rip open the stomach and pull the guts out-is that really how we should be treating other living things??
paul mcartney said "if abbatoirs has glass windows everyone would be vego"
what happened to the days of the hippies where everyone was vego?
such a peacful place. so really the question still stands...
WHY DO YOU EAT MEAT?
is it just because it tastes good? how about you have a think about what effects it has on the world and yourself.
thanks

Last year I had some rather nasty health problems, and after several consulations with a nutritionist, I'm on my way to being relatively healthy
During our chat time, she told me that the human body was designed with specific needs that need to be filled on a daily basis.
Our teeth are designed for the process of chewing/cutting flesh, while our molars are designed (much like herbavors) to deal with leafy greens. There are valuable minerals, vitamins and supplements to be found in both, but when it comes down to it, eating meat is "natural" occurance. We are omnivorous by nature. How is that a bad thing?
I'm not saying vegetarians are wrong by any means - I even considered it for the dietary reasons once (red meats were making me feel ill - that's been fixed though with a major overhaul to my diet). The right balance with nuts, fruits, lentils, and greens can be just as beneficial
Choosing that lifestyle choice should be made with a great deal of consideration. A friend's mother put her on a vegan diet that had been poorly researched, and as a result, she's a frail little thing who got no where NEAR the right amount of nutrients she needed while growing up.
As for the slaughtering issues - read up on Australian Trading Practices. I'm not going to go any further then that, because I've dealt with people like you too often to say anything more then "Google it" now.
You're the type of vegetarian that gives others a bad name. The type that spouts moralisitic jargon in an attempt to make us all feel bad about ourselves. Instead of highlighting the major draws and leaving people with that, you have to bag their way of life in an attempt to feel more secure about your choice.
Thanks.
