For Anyone Trying to Stay Away from Meat..

OGgmo · February 2014

Please eat organic, cage-free, and/or humane products.

Did anyone actually see this? They aren't saying you HAVE to avoid meat, just try and use organic and cage-free products. Well, that's what I got from that sentence.

I know I used very subtle subtext to infer I intended people never to [eat] meat ever again. Some just didn't get that, I'm glad you did

(EDITED: forgot a word)

How is that "the most ignorant comparison ever"? I will give you that it is a crude comparison, but given most of all the respondents' views have been sarcastic and insensitive, I decided to go with a more flagrant approach. If you watch the video, these animals are sentenced to death before they are even born. They are put onto assembly lines to their death, and gruesomely so. I don't really know of another scenario in human history that you could even compare it to.

Yes and if we did not intend on eating them, they would never have been born in the first place

I really don't want to get involved here but how small of a brain must you have for that statement to even resemble logic?

FWIW, I believe what was being said here is that if there was no plan for consumption, there would not have been planned reproduction. Animals in the wild would not be as prolific as what we are currently pushing them to be.

Additionally, I think the problem with the earth and the damage being done to it has more to do with the plague of humans infesting it. Yes I am a big ball of sunshine!

This^^ Thank you.
People wouldn't go on a thread "for people trying to avoid sweets" and post pictures of chocolate and cake and brag about how much ice cream they eat. So how is it acceptable to post pictures of big juicy burgers and hateful comments for people trying to avoid meat? It's just rude is all

Oh boy you haven't been around here long have you? That is exactly what they would do.

I didn't watch the video because I know it would make me cry and I'm at work and wearing mascara . I eat meat, always have and always will. I love it and eat a serve of fish, chicken and beef every day. I also eat pork, ham, bacon, duck, venison, kangaroo, camel, crocodile, rabbit and other critters not as often, but as often as I can. And eggs too. Lamb is my favourite - they are so cute and adorable and so damn tasty nom nom nom.

BUT - I only buy organic free range meat, eggs and by products firstly because I don't like the thought that an animal has to suffer its whole life and live in apalling conditions just so I can eat it. I don't think of farm animals as any different to pets except they are bred to be consumed. Plus free range animals are quite simply so much tastier than factory farmed ones in my experience.

I'm familiar how they kill most of those animals, but in what manner do they raise and "cultivate" kangaroos and camel? I might have had kangaroo as a kid before but I'm not familiar in the practice of either one.

Does anyone know how snakes for food use are "harvested"? That is also something I am unfamiliar with

I eat the original organic fast food; venison.

Free range in my back yard.

(Sorry critter lovers.)

Dear Posters,

I wanted to offer a brief explanation for the locking of this thread. This discussion is welcome to continue in groups.

The forum guidelines include this item:

15. Divisive Topics Are Better Suited For Groups, Not the Main Forums

Divisive topics and posts, particularly those that seek input from or are relevant only to a select group of users, are better placed within an appropriate Group rather than the Main Forums. For example, topics relevant to only one religion should not be placed on the main forums but rather within a group related to that religion.

If you would like to review the forum guidelines, please visit the following link:
