Vegan/Vegetarian

**Hulud** · 06-20-2005, 04:01 PM

Anyone here a vegan or vegetarian?

**Spyder** · 06-20-2005, 04:05 PM

I dont think this is political....

anyhow , all the ones that i know that are actual Vegan's are constantly on the virge of death because they found out that the little pills you can take to help you with it had some type of gelatin that is made of animal fat so now they wont take them.... you know the same fat that is used to make life savers..

sorry but its a bit extreme to be a real vegan.

**Hulud** · 06-20-2005, 04:09 PM

nah i believe it is political because most people that i have talked to who are vegan/vegetarian do it because of their beliefs in animal rights (which is political).
plus i think that people in the food section wouldnt take it as serious a debate as people would here

**Spyder** · 06-20-2005, 04:10 PM

that's fair.

**Hulud** · 06-20-2005, 04:10 PM

yea i figured i would have to justify why it was here... lol

**Spyder** · 06-20-2005, 04:15 PM

And i suppose since im here responding to a topic i normally wouldnt ill go ahead and take it to the next level. If you claim to be a Vegan and you dont grow everything on your own land and prepare it yourself you are just as bad as anyone else. there are helpless field animals killed and then processed into the products that vegans eat. how many animal carcuss's are removed from the wheat processing plan each year? How many innocent animals are mangled and crushed by farm equipment each year just so they can produce vegitables for us?

honestly i dont care... i love real food

**Hulud** · 06-20-2005, 04:17 PM

yea im not vegan/vegetarian im just trying to start a topic

**Hulud** · 06-20-2005, 04:21 PM

ok good shit

**WINDSOR** · 06-20-2005, 05:41 PM

all i want to know is why don't you ever see any fatass vegans?

**Hulud** · 06-20-2005, 05:47 PM

my guess is they eat healthy

**absolude** · 06-20-2005, 07:18 PM

lol- Hulud, healthy is an understatement. You are right though. I know everyone has seen a few vegetarians on the chunky side- and I suspect that is because people will switch over.

**4dmin** · 06-20-2005, 08:37 PM

i don't think you can be vegan and be on this site... seriously to be a true vegan you need to be OMISH...

**Hulud** · 06-20-2005, 11:14 PM

true

**C22H19N3O4** · 06-25-2005, 01:49 AM

Another reason not to eat beef.

**Ryno** · 06-30-2005, 12:01 PM

I used to be vegetarian for years but I eat chicken and fish now. I still can't stand beef and pork.

you notice most vegans are goth or homosexuals

**Hulud** · 07-07-2005, 10:01 AM

goth? i have never seen a goth vegan

**superbooost** · 07-07-2005, 06:42 PM

now for my stance

wear this shirt to whole foods and watch the hilarity ensue

seriously, one could argue it is not so much a political stance, but maybe a lifestyle or belief stance. It is a healthy way to live, and I dated a vegan for awhile. She had a nice shape.

^ maddox rules

**dwnsthGABOY** · 07-19-2005, 02:02 PM

i'm not completely a vegetarian.
I eat chicken and fish.
I have never had any type of red meat in my life period.
My parents stop eating read meat about 30 yrs ago long before I was born, so that lifestyle just went along with me and my sis.

**SniperJoe** · 07-19-2005, 05:35 PM

Vegans scare me.

**HyPer50** · 07-19-2005, 10:44 PM

Vegans =

**C22H19N3O4** · 07-20-2005, 11:31 PM

I don\'t consume beef anymore. I\'ve replaced it with Bison. Heck of a lot leaner. Most of you should be more concerned with Mad Cow after the infection discovered in Texas. It may not have entered the food chain, as the Agriculture dept. but I don\'t trust them.

^^^ Well tell her to bring it down south. Taste mighty good with some A-1 steak sauce.

**RandomGuy** · 07-25-2005, 01:21 AM

"I am a level 5 vegan, i dont eat anything that casts a show" -classic

**Jaimecbr900** · 07-25-2005, 09:34 AM

This is a serious question and not meant as inflamatory: Why do vegeterian people have different "levels" of being vegetarian???? It seems kinda odd to me that you can ride the fence, yet still label yourself as vegetarian.

BTW, my sister-in-law is vegetarian, although she does eat certain white meats every once in a while. Again, something I don't truly understand.

If someone is being a vegeterian for health reasons, I get that. Low fat diets, stay away from greasy meats....I get that. What I don't get are the politically motivated vegetarians. I don't quite understand their ideology.

Someone please explain that to me.

**Hulud** · 07-25-2005, 05:24 PM

my cousin is a vegetarian, he says hes that way because he doesnt agree with the fact of raising animals purely to slaughter them.

**Hulud** · 07-25-2005, 09:23 PM

sweet do your own thing

**C22H19N3O4** · 07-29-2005, 02:40 AM

Why is this in the political section? Another reason not to eat beef

Because for many, being vegetarian/vegan is a political statement, not a nutritional/health statement.

**C22H19N3O4** · 07-29-2005, 11:45 PM

^^ I realized what I asked after I posted it lol. IMO there are other ways to demonstrate political devotion, so that escaped me. I know many Vegans, but most practice for health reasons. Ever see milk under a microscope? LoL...

what he said

**kilpatty43** · 08-02-2005, 01:11 PM

i was a vegetarian for about 2 1/2 years...not by choice...once i had my stomach surgery i could eat meat again...but it doesnt taste as good now as it did...im not a big meat eater anyways so its not hard for me to go without

**Hulud** · 08-05-2005, 01:32 AM

nice, sometimes i wish i was vegatarian b/c of the whole slaughter thing (raise animals for death). i dont agree with that. but i just cant go with out meat and i cant afford to pay for tofu and fake meat.

**C22H19N3O4** · 08-05-2005, 01:45 AM

I shop at Wholefoods and it does get expensive, but the chicks that shop there are HOT. Tofu is not expensive...lol. I changed from regular milk to soy milk after doing a some reseach on bloodclots left behind after pasteurization.

**Hulud** · 08-05-2005, 10:48 AM

ive been told by my relatives that being vegetarian is expensive (they are vegetarian)
