DAMN! I've never appreciated chicken so much before. After the meat was gone, I kept licking the bones like a cat.__drmerc__ wrote: »How was it?

You did the world a favor. Chickens are evil and ugly and conspiratorial and deserve to die.0

Dont feel too bad meat is yumtastic!
I have never found meat to be that enjoyable, I eat it for heath reasons, but I could go literally months without buying it if I didn't need to. The only meats I actually like are salami and shaved ham, but even then, I never have a particularly strong desire to buy them.0 -

Not everyone becomes a vegetarian because they think eating animals is morally wrong.Okay.
Obviously you could have said no thank you or not eaten the chicken you bought but you really wanted to eat it.
I don't know why you chose to eat vegetarian but if it wasn't a conviction that eating animals is wrong then maybe you should consider eating meatless for most of your meals and planning some meat meals prepared in a healthy way one day a week. Better than eating fried chicken you didn't intend to get.
I know. I clearly said if the OP didn't choose to eat vegetarian because of a conviction that eating animals was wrong then maybe they should just eat healthy meat meals on a regular basis... Instead of drooling over the fried chicken display. Because they obviously do want to eat meat and are happy about it based on the posts here.
I respect people who choose to not eat meat for whatever reason. If they change their mind, I respect that too. Doesn't mean you have to go from vegetarian to eating bacon and fried chicken meals every day. You can eat meatless several days and eat reasonably healthy meat meals a few days as well.

This is a common vegetarian myth based on the related myth that meat is hard/difficult for the body to digest. It's not that some vegetarians don't experience digestive troubles when switching back (some do), but it's generally because they expect difficulties and/or have negative emotions relating to eating meat. Many vegetarians, even long term ones, can go right back to eating large amounts of meat with little/no discomfort. My first day eating meat after 3+ years of vegetarianism involved over a pound of red meat, with no noticeable effects aside from a profound feeling of satisfaction.
my experience is similar. i never chose to be a vegetarian because of animal cruelty. i chose to be one because i couldn't afford meat. doesn't mean i wasn't a vegetarian at that time. when i could afford meat, i bought myself a big fat steak and enjoyed every minute of it.
only slight bellyache after, and that's probably due to the size of it.0 -

Hilarious!
I'm an omnivore (gimme a good steak anytime, medium-rare, please). But I love a wide variety of veggies and fruits, too.
My husband -- he's a meatatarian! He only eats veggies because I serve them to keep his arteries from clogging!0 -
I have the same experiences with fluffy delicious muffins.0

I was a vegetarian for about 8 months. Then I got drunk and was halfway through a BigMac before I remembered I didn't eat meat. I thought about it for a sec, shrugged and kept eating. never looked back.
It was November, anyway. There was no way I was going to make it through Christmas.0 -
You could've killed her and hidden the body just to save your embarrassment AND not have had to eat meat.0

I feel like I am missing something here.
But also posting to see all of the 'opinions' being shared.0 -
You ate meat and you're a vegetarian? So what?
Its the vegetarians who think -if you eat meat on this or that rare occasion you will go to hell - who need to worry. They are the true head cases here. And probably lose the high ground on other points or morality. Those people who try to avoid meat and find on occasions they have to either indulge or starve do not need to feel guilt or make public confessions.
There are people who've made ethics for a living who basically run this line. e.g. Peter Singer. That is to say animals rights movers and thinkers who take the rational approach as i've just spelt it out. Its the only sane way to go. Go for sane and rational, not extremism and fundamentalism.
On the whole i try to avoid meat as much as possible. I hate animal cruelty but i can't give up milk and i have decided trying to stay healthy without dairy and fish is just too difficult for me.
So choose for yourself what you can do and do your best to participate in any movement against cruelty to animals - without guilt.
There are other philosophers who hold that when all is said and done, morality is just a human construct and in the big picture, there is no ultimate right and wrong and whatever we do doesn't matter, ultimately. I'm of this view but... we will be better served in the present, if we can avoid causing suffering to all other creatures as much as possible.0 -
I mean....why are you vegetarian? is it for health reasons? There are ways to incorporate meat into your diet in a healthful way...if it's for political or spiritual convictions I can't help you.0

Eh, eat what you want.0

I had no choice, but to eat meat!
Today, I stood at the food counter display, staring at the fried chicken.( I usually do that when I crave for meat.) I had no intention to get any. But the sales lady came up to me and said:"Which one would you like?" I hesitated for a few seconds thinking if I said:"no thank you." She probably would think that I'm homeless. If I said:"I'm vegetarian," she would laugh at me for staring at he chicken. So, I told her "give me that big piece."
Now THIS is a vegetarian I could like...0 -
I get the impression this post has been made purely for the lulz.0

My first thought......you had a choice0

I don't get the point of this post…
Personally, I'm a vegetarian and have been my whole life for moral reasons. But for MY moral reasons, I don't expect anyone else to think or feel the same way. I just expect everyone else to respect my decision to not eat meat as I do their's to eat it.
Who cares if you ate meat? I feel like you just posted this to piss of vegetarians or get support from other meat-eaters. It just seems a bit ridiculous because it doesn't concern anyone else what you eat and what anyone else eats doesn't concern you.
Excuse the long response, I'm just trying to understand what the point of your post is.0 -
I'm not sure what the point is, either, but I didn't read all 3 pages so I could've missed it.
I personally don't care what people think. I would've just said, "No thank you." And walked away. No need to explain or worry about what someone else (a stranger) thinks. Also, just because you bought it didn't mean you had to eat it, right? Surely, you could've given it away. Lots of people love free food.0 -
You had no choice? Of course you did. You CHOSE to order chicken instead of politely saying you are a vegetarian.0
