"food for thought" for vegetarians/ vegans?

You do know fruit comes from plants, right? They are like plant eggs.





I was a vegetarian for a long time, so I get the urge to not hurt stuff, but its inevitable.

just saying- removing my ovaries =/= killing me. You realize that, right?

See also: My chickens do not die every time they lay.

nope nore do mine but they are wiliing to get layed in order to lay, and nobody dies... well except for the eggs but they where doomed from the start, my chikens totaly dig Infanticide..... its kind of creepy..... particularly with the rabits

I'm really sick of people making fun of vegetarians on this site and trolling....why is it so freakin' threatening to know there are people out there that don't eat meat? How does me not eating meat affect you in any way?

other folks not choosing to eat what i do is
1.) not threatening, at all(i mean really)
2.) it dosent and i dont care, and really nobody ells dose eather

Have you considered that eating animals required far more plants to be killed to get the same amount of nutrition compared to eating the plants directly.
*sigh* I'm so sick of this sot of cr** from meat-eaters. The classics being: "But plants are living organisms, too!" and "Science found that plants can feel pain!" - 1. My diet is none of your business. I don't go around giving you lectures on what you eat so leave me the heck alone. 2, So. effin. what? You gotta eat something to survive. I made a choice that make the biggest impact I can without much affecting my quality of life and health. How are you contributing? -____-

It will be a break through when scientists discover the meaning of life , sickness and death! Until then I make my own decisions and choices!

They've already discovered it more than 30 years ago. It's 42.

nono thw anwser is 42 but they forgot what the actual question was.. i think..

I'm vegan. If you are trying to say that I shouldn't eat plants then you are saying that you want me to starve to death???

Actually you are wrong so wrong. Raising meat is an inefficient way to produce food

All I know is that when I pick salad leaves from my home grown salad bowl, they grow back within a week. If I were to chop off the leg of a cow and eat it, the cow would painfully bleed to death, and its leg would not grow back...

I'll stick to my plant based diet thanks :drinker:

Clearly they do or they wouldn't post insulting threads about it and tell us we're wrong so often.

They didn't forget. They built Earth the super computer to figure out the question, then blew it up for a super space highway before it finished calculating the answer.

And even if it did grow back, the point is the cow experiences pain whereas plants don't have a central nervous system and cannot feel pain. It would be illogical for them to, since they can't goddamn move.
