Vegetarian: It’s what’s for dinner
Over here, steve is talking about meeting a woman who more or less introduced herself by telling him he needed to change.
This reminded me of a woman I met ages ago who did the same to me- told me I should stay away from meat, altogether, be a vegetarian, or perhaps even a more enlightened vegan.
Here’s my reaction to that. Vegetarians are food. Let’s look at the animals in nature:
Vegan animals:
Elephant.
Cow
Pig
Moose
Deer
Elk
Carnivores:
Lion
Wolf
Fox
Coyote
Tiger
Puma
Panther
Cougar
Me? Wolf. Not a cow. In nature, vegetarians are fat, lumbering, slow. Carnivores are muscled, fast and sleek.
Nuff said.

I never understood that whole vegan thing. It’s a bunch of b.s. My teeth are shaped the way they are FOR A REASON. I have the ability to eat meat FOR A REASON. Humans are OMNIVOROUS. End of story. If I shouldn’t eat meat, then why can I?
I think veganism is a way of life created by people who had nothing better to do; they never knew hardship, never had to bust their asses into the ground. It sounds like something a spoiled brat would think up. People like farmers, the Amish, Italian peasants, people like that, people that break their backs working with the earth; I bet none of them are vegans. It’s the jet-set millionaires and the folks who have been fooled by them. Try telling a farmer he can’t eat meat. He’ll either laugh in your face or crack you in the mouth.
Dated one twice. She had some stinkyass farts.
Everybody knows stinkyass farts are a man’s job.
Still hayseed enough to say, “Look who’s in the big town.”
Famous vegetarians are all people who get/got off on minding other people’s business.
That’s enough to put you off peas for life.
Not to mention tofu and soy protein are like that goana in Crocodile Dundee — you can live on it, but it tastes like shit.

Sam: Are we related?
Dick: I’m wearing our “special” socks today.
LOL, Og. If u have any Italian blood in you at all, then we just might be! Hell, even if you don’t, if you love Italian food, we’re practically paesan!
And I ain’t done yet with the vegan rant.
I believe in God. I believe in creation. I believe that God created the heavens, the earth, and man. I believe that God the Father gave men the earth as a gift to us,
along with a responsibility to do the right thing with that gift. Point being, it’s OK with the good Lord to eat meat. Jesus ate lamb and fish. It’s cool. But while man is master over other animals, he must also take care of them. Never hurt, torture, or waste. Now please pass the steak sauce.
Ed: Fixed
Larry Niven said it best, “How much brains does it take to sneak up on a leaf?”
Og – I’d say “I’ve got steaks on the grill… let’s eat!” Then I remembered your lap band. *sigh* But it’s lunch time and I have some left over grilled chicken from last night. Yum!
Theresa: Steak is one of the foods that is a MUST after a lap band. Can’t be gristly, but good tender steak? Yum. Bring it on.
OK – that had me laughing outloud! Damn, that is the PERFECT explaination……
I think I’ll show up at the next PETA ralley with a fork and a knife in each hand and a napkin tucked in my shirt. I’ll just start walking over towards them and see if they figure out what’s going on :-P
P.E.T.A.
People for the Eating of Tasty Animals.
Why yes, I’m a member!
PETA = People for the Eating of Tasty Amimals, saw it on a T-shirt at a gun show.
And…
Pigs are not really herbivores. Like us they are omnivores. And everybody I know who has ever had anything to do with pigs says that they absolutely LOVE meat. In fact that’s how they get trichonosis, by eating rats.
yeah, bears too. About omnivorous, i mean. Not the trichonosis, I don’t think.
Vegetables are not food. Vegetables are what food eats. Fish are only fast vegetables. Ted Nugent
My ancestors did not claw their way to the top of the food chain so I could graze. Me.
If we aren’t supposed to eat animals, why did God make them out of meat? Me again.
I’m gonna have a monster burger tonight for dinner in honor of this post.
Also, the socks…
They’re kinda workin’ me over.
There’s room for all Gods’ creatures…right next to the taters and gravy!
Hey? Can I vent here one day this week?
Dick, you still got a login.
Actually bears trichonosis yes Honorable Og.
I recall reading about one of the early Arctic explorations that seemed to have died of trichonosis from eating raw polar bear.
I also recall reading about bears carrying trichonosis in a hunting article years ago.
So cook the bear meat.
Definitely. So you prove my point, Charles. Vegetarian: it’s what’s for dinner.
vegan – old Indian word for “Bad Hunter”.
As a “non-uptight” vegetarian, I laughed at all of this great stuff. Especially the guy that will go to the PETA rally w/a fork & knife.
As for the women trying to change their men, they’re just crazy & they were that way before they were vegetarians.
Welcome Michele.
Try to keep your arms and legs away from my mouth.
Meeeeeeeat!
Western-style vegans have the luxury of living in a world where food is plentiful, and they can get all the rice and beans they want. Compare that to China, where people will eat pretty much anything that’s not nailed down. Snake bile wine, anyone?
You wanna be a vegetarian? Hey, it’s a free country. Have at it. That leaves more tender, tasty beefsteak for me.
Note to Dick- I wish you would! You’ve been missed.
Meat. It’s what’s for dinner.
And breakfast and lunch, for that matter.
If we’re not supposed to eat meat, why the hell does it come packaged so nicely at the grocery store?
(Yes, I’ve visited a meat-packing plant.)
“In nature, vegetarians are fat, lumbering, slow.”
Well, except for the Pronghorn. Those babies only lose first place to the Cheetah by a few mph and they can keep up tremendous speeds for lots of miles, while the Cheetah has to take a break after his short little sprint.
Now, domesticated grazers are slow and fat. We breed them that way so they’re easier to handle and give more meat per animal. You can’t really compare wild cattle (as in Australian or African) to the ones farmer McDonald has.
That said, I don’t know how anyone can smell meat cooking on the grill and not salivate in anticipation…
Gungeek, there are exceptions that prove every rule. And I’m the fast/sleek carnivore exception.
Beef. It’s what’s for dinner.
Real Food for Real People.
Yes, I live on a farm, why do ya ask?
God intended for us to eat animals. Not only did Jesus eat meat, but take a read of Genesis. The Creation, it says right their that we have dominion over the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air and that they are to be our food. I always like that verse right before I go hunting. Just reminds me that it is not only something I enjoy, but my divine right and duty. See, God really does love us.
And if you need proof pigs eat meat, let a vegan have a heart attack in a pig pen. 24 hours=DNA sample required for identification.
