maqroll Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 What about only eating animals that would eat you if they had the chance? Is that a good philosophy? So eating the AVFC crest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) I think that's funny not because of the rampant lion, but because the whole crest is a scary looking monster Edited August 6, 2014 by maqroll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ismail-villa Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Good post Mj. It's the uproar about the cruelty of Halal meat that makes me life. Have these people not seen what happens in slaughter houses?! I would be nice to catch your own animal and kill it in a humane way to then cook and prep on an open fire. Something that is practised by some Sikhs I might add. Could you explain the cruelty of Halal meat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Cutting an animals throat and letting it bleed to death? this must be considered cruel.. Edited August 7, 2014 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArteSuave Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 The right attitude to vegetarianism is ingram, on the basis that not eating meat is healthy -for him. Whilst I'm sure Ingram is now healthier since his switch to episcopalianism, I suspect its the overall guidelines he's set for his diet, rather than not eating meat, that have made the difference IMO. Eating unprocessed food is better for your health, whether your protein comes from chicken or wild Alaskan salmon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted August 7, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2014 One thing I've noticed since I've had this allotment is that I enjoy vegetables more than I used to. Whether that's down them being organic and as fresh as it's possible to be, or simply psychological (the sheer novelty of growing my own food - free!), I don't know. They're still a support act for meat, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 7, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2014 Nah I don't reckon it's psychological. My mom's started growing her own veg and it tastes goooood. Probably the freshness. Picking veg and then eating it within the hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Garden veggies are the best. My old man had a garden for the last 10 years of his life. He really enjoyed it, and he grew some great veggies. This time last year he was harvesting cucumbers and tomatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 7, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2014 I was brought up in a vegetarian family, there's 8 of us, I've never poisoned my body with he flesh of a dead animal, and we're all incredibly healthy human beings who have suffered no kind of illnesses, we look just like other humans and we definitely do not smell. 'Poisoned my body with the flesh of a dead animal'? Oh puh-leese. Sounds exactly like the sort of cant we've come to expect from religious zealots. Come on mj. You've an IQ of 140+... Don't stoop to a level whereby you attack a person's turn of phrase and make that representative of their entire philosophy. What would MENSA have to say about that? Couldn't give a **** what MENSA think. Your original post was a fine, rational, un-hectoring 'food for thought' piece - pragmatic, and admirably devoid of emotional guff. PiFacE's was just holier-than-thou sermonising. No, it's not. I hate the idea of putting meat in my body (which is the flesh of a dead animal, is it not?). I have no desire to do so. Am I not allowed that opinion? I've not said i'm better than anyone for having that opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 But saying that, PieFacE, is implying that the rest of are poisoning our body, just because we eat meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 7, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) But saying that, PieFacE, is implying that the rest of are poisoning our body, just because we eat meat. Well, if I said I wouldn't poison my body with drugs would suddenly anyone who takes drugs be offended? (legal or illegal?)

Well, if I said I wouldn't poison my body with drugs would suddenly anyone who takes drugs be offended? (legal or illegal?) The point is that meat doesn't poison anyone. That's just complete bullshit. Making a false equivalency between meat and drugs is ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 7, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) But Mad Cows Disease to be fair, "poison" was probably the wrong choice of words, I genuinely didn't intend for it to come across the way it did. So yeah I retract that comment. You can all do what you want and I really don't care, the original point I was making is that it is perfectly possible to be a completely healthy person without consuming meat.
