    If everyone were a vegetarian you'd have to walk around with a hatchet or machete, carving your way through the hordes of turkeys, chickens and cows wildly roaming the planet.

    Inflatable machetes, right? My fragile heart couldn't stand it. Maybe just a jab with the back end of a lightsaber to incapacitate them so I could steal their food source?

    Lightsabers aren't real, don't be silly. Maybe we can just round them up and ship them off to Africa, or the jungles of India. There's still carnivores there, right? Lions and tigers gotta eat, too.

    I thought we were feeding the lions and tigers with "those vegetarians."

    Careful of generalizations; we're not all "peaceable kingdom" types. Might even be armed. ;)

    That had better be non-dairy butter on that popcorn, buddy. Don't make me go "that vegetarian" on you.

    I don't understand any of it. I'm a very content "eat-like-shlt-atarian"....

    You realise we engineer such huge farm animal populations through artificial means right? By artificial I mean conscious human intervention - either by forceable insemination or by simply engineering their living arrangements) to produce such enormous populations of these species.

    you realize, that the internet isn't always serious business right?

    strong 2nd post...

    Okaaaay. I'm a pescatarian. I do what's right for me and keep my mouth shut around others. However, if the subject of factory farming arises, I'm not going to keep my mouth shut. I don't have qualms with people eating meat, I have BIG problems with industrial farming. Still, I don't want to eat meat even if it comes from a lovely little family farm.

    This year I'm working on finding humane sources for dairy. And seafood that isn't overfished.

    Ditto. I never talk about what I eat and don't eat unless specifically asked. Even then I keep it very brief.

    Same. Brief. Non-confrontational. People feel understandably defensive. Also, a whole lot of people are none the wiser about factory farming. Sheesh - you'd think it'd be common knowledge by now. Amazing that so many people have no idea where all that grocery store meat comes from.

    Oh come on... I start watching this thread because it's hilarious and it stops. Lame... or maybe the apocalypse happened and I'm all alone.

    It's not fair... I had time, now. I had time!

    Whoa, whoa, whoa. Please stop judging this thread. I know you're one of "those vegetarians," but it's the worst. The worst.

    Quiz to determine if you are one of "those vegetarians":

    1. Does anyone know you're vegetarian?
    2. Do you have an opinion that vegetarianism isn't the worst?
    3. Could anyone identify you as a vegetarian by observing what you do or say?

    If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, sorry. You are one of those vegetarians. Please feed yourself to a lion or tiger immediately to ensure the "circle of life" remains robust and meaty.

    Same here. There have been a times when somebody that has known me for years realizes I don't eat meat. "Oh...you're a vegetarian?!"

    in 50 years when food is grown in bacterial vats because otherwise the population would starve, will there still be vegetarians? the bacteria will be flavored to simulate any 'food' but will essentially be the same. Just wondering?
