    I am a pescetarian as part of choosing a healthier lifestyle and not because I think it's cruel to kill animals. I don't judge people for their diet, I just take responsibility for mine. I enjoy fish, seafood, and dairy and enjoy my life. #HatinOnVegetariansIsForKnuckleheads

    So it's cruel to kill animals but not fish? #FishAreFriendsNotFood
    He said NOT because he thinks it is cruel to kill animals. So he has no problem killing anything to eat it, and is just eating less animal products for a healthier lifestyle.

    I am a vegEtarian and I don't have to answer or explain myself to anybody else. If you want to be a vegEtarian be one. If you don't then don't be one. End of.

    Yes, many vegans have an opinion on what everyone eats. Of course they do! Vegans who are anti-captivity activists are trying to raise awareness about animal cruelty. We're not going to "mind our own business" when there are animals who need a voice. Nobody ever tells me to mind my own business when I'm talking about human right violations...

    "I'm bi-vegetarian.

    Vegetarianism for me is about saying yes to things... even meat."

    God, I love Coupling. LOL. Oh Jane....

    I think people that don't eat meat for moral reasons are doing that because they won't support an industry that abuses animals.

    Just like someone who wouldn't participate in an action that was racist. Racism still happens but that person will not make racist jokes or be friends with someone who is hateful towards people simply because of their race.

    I've had long periods of not eating meat after seeing documentaries on how animals are treated. I do eat meat now but don't feel good about it.

    I do think people who make jokes about animal cruelty are poor quality people. I hope that one day it will be against the law to wilfully make animals suffer. I am not against humane killing of animals in certain circumstances for food.

    I am sad when I see photos of pigs in tiny cages where they can't turn around. It breaks my heart. When someone to makes fun of those things or makes light of the genuine suffering that animals endure because of the food industry I am truly baffled. It would be the same as making jokes about molesting children or rape, it's just a low class thing to do.

    Yes, the egg and dairy industry are just as horrific as the meat industry, that's why I'm vegan.

    I think the taste and texture of meat is nasty. The smell of cooked seafood also makes me want to hurl. I've been like that since I was a little kid and nothing could ever convince me otherwise. I've tried pieces of steak, chicken, turkey, bacon, salmon, tuna, and couldn't stomach the taste or texture. Others eating it doesn't bother me at all, and I cook meat (poorly, I would imagine) when I have people over for dinner.

    I was daring last summer and decided to try a bite of lobster meat and some clam chowder while in Kennebunkport, ME, and found out that I'm just as allergic to shellfish as my mother and sister are. One bite of the (delicious) lobster and one bite of the clam chowder almost sent me to the hospital with anaphylaxis. :sad:

    I eat vegetarian beans because they make me fart. When that happens my grand kids laugh because they think farts are funny so do most people think farts are funny. I also eat meat because it makes me fart it brings smiles to everyone.
