Vegetarians
GameOver:
Haven't you seen what that racoon did to Elf? That's just wrong! All he wanted was a hug and that coon was all like 'I'm gonna bite your head off' and stuff. (I know, just a movie...)
SirPeale:
I like steak. It tastes good.
That said, I don't think I'm going to eat it anymore. I'm certainly not going to convince anyone that it's wrong; that is something you have to work out for yourselves.
What is a cow for? Cows as they are right now actually never existed before about 100 years ago. Selective breeding has produced the animals that you see today.
I think that if the animals can be raised and killed humanely, then so be it. It's the inhumane conditions, followed by a torturous death that I have a problem with.
Besides...animals that have been taken care of taste better.

I can't answer for daywane, but I know a number of "unhealthy" vegetarians.

One has sky high cholesterol levels. I'm not around so many vegetarians at this point in my life, but I'd say about 75% of the vegetarians I've worked with/been around at any given point are less 'healthy' than 50% of the non-vegetarians I've been around at that same point.

I suppose it depends on what you're eating. You can still eat unhealthy foods and be a vegetarian.
For example: high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). For the longest time I thought it was just like the corn syrup you buy at the market. Not so. Nasty, nasty stuff.

I offer you one thing...the lyrics to one of my favorite songs...
--- Quote ---She's not eatin' bacon, not eatin' sausage
and she won't eat eggs,
Not eatin' chicken, not eatin' turkey,
she won't have a steak,
But I just can't help feelin' sorry
for this poor little lettuce head
You know, I can't stop cryin'
'Cause I know this broccoli's dead
Vegetarian, I'm not a vegetarian
Vegetarian...she's a
Poor little cow, little sheep
Little fish how can I sleep?
When carrots are bleedin'
Plants are screamin' and tomatoes cry
You say it's not so bad
They're only vegetables, that's what you said
Maybe I'm a murderer, but I'm hungry
And they're better off dead
Save a plant, eat a cow
I want beef, I want it now!
I'm gonna eat it cause it's red!
I'm gonna eat it cause it's dead!
maybe I should eat it raw
Let the blood run down my jaw
I'd eat people if it was legal
I'd eat people if it was legal!
