why are vegetarians so angry?
 
i'm not the one telling you what to eat.

feel free to eat your soyburger or tofurkey. sprinkle some bacos on if you're feeling wild.

just stay out of my grille about eating your pet. i've had it with you food nazi's.

hi_im_god 06-03-2007 03:07 PM

one more thing...

i don't go around having my filet mignon shaped like an apple and then ask people to tell me it's a "cowple".

you may need to think through why you want to eat a "tofurkey".

ninetoone 06-03-2007 03:09 PM

did a vegetarian get up in your grill?

that's an interesting mental image...

my girlfriend's teenage son up on my bbq.

nope. can't go there. she must never know we had this conversation.

ninetoone 06-03-2007 03:30 PM

If you want to make points w/the girlfriend, it looks like some tofu is in your future...

Bon Appetit!

GenuineRisk 06-03-2007 06:02 PM

I suspect your girlfriend's son's vehemence is connected with being a teenager.

Though, remember, for many life-long vegetarians it's a moral issue, right up there with abortion for pro-lifers, gun ownership for NRA members, blocking the borders for anti-immigrationists, etc., etc. It's all a matter of perspective. ;)

Look at the bright side; at least he's not posting your home address and phone number on radical vegetarian websites, inviting radical vegetarians to shoot you in your own kitchen. See? It could be so much worse. All he did was hassle you at a BBQ.

I like tofu, but then I'm blessed with an Asian stepmom who knows how to cook it properly.

You know how it goes, getting ready to bite into a massive head of Iceberg Lettuce, and the moment is lost when the sphincter sends it's time to dance message.

i once heard a meateater tell me when animals stop eating eachother i will stop eating them

ninetoone 06-03-2007 10:54 PM

If we weren't supposed to eat them, they wouldn't be made out of meat.

Are lamb chops and pastrami vegetables?

You sir, are an omnivore.

Unless you shun the vegetable kingdom. Which would be extraordinarily difficult to avoid. Anything made with wheat... cake, doughnuts, etc... We must have our producers as well. They sneak soy (from beans) in all the time in meat products that are reconstituted.

So be proud to be so catholic in your tastes. I am. I am proud of my canines. I equally proud of my molars. I am proud of my omnivorous digestive tract.

Its ma'am by the way! I know I am technically an omnivore... but I feel like such a carnivore! veggies are just those things that come along with meat, I dont really think about them. I guess pasta is not a meat and I love that... especially if it has a meat sauce!

Oops.
Sorry.
Maam.

What about dessert? I have noticed that most desserts have a plant tinge in them besides the flour. Ya gotta like dessert. Apple pie... Ice cream even has an algal component to give it texture and make it less runny. Be proud of the plants in your life. I know I am. Just not exclusively so.

I do love desserts. Ya got me there. And I like fruits and berries. yummy. and tomatos. which could technically be a fruit. And I like zucchini, especially with a little parmesan on top. and er, french fries, but I'm trying to stay away. I guess the plant I am most proud of is cannabis (especially in the college years).

Correct Pgardn!
Humans are much more like racoons than woodchucks (though I've known a few that were).
When all doubts are met and addressed, I say, "Eat like a grizzly!"
Wash it all down with a few brewskies, and take a long, long nap.
When ya wake up, look both ways before crossing any road. Those 18 wheelers are dangerous!

Iceberg lettuce? Yeesh. No nutritional value and no taste to boot. I call it "crunchy water."

I was a strict vegetarian for several years, but for environmental, not moral, reasons. I like meat occasionally (it is tasty, after all), if it's humanely raised (factory farms are unbelievably cruel and as far as I'm concerned, if I'm spending money on factory farm meat, I'm endorsing animal cruelty. That's just me, though. They're also environmental disasters, while small farms are valuable habitat for lots of animals, including many threatened species- support your small family farms!). I'm glad for the time I spent as a strict vegetarian, though, because it kept me thin and kept me healthy and I learned to love veggies.

I tell ya, though, I take my hat off to vegans. That's serious dietary discipline. I think if I had to give up cheese and milk the sunshine would go out of my life.

Thats exactly what it is. Does not even have a lot of fiber, thus my futile attempt at a bad joke. In some cases the nasty E.Coli get into it, and that creates a great time with the big white phone in the bathroom.

I was a vegetarian once....I lasted about three and a half weeks.....eventually all the veggy patty subs from Subway started turning my poop all kind of different colors...and that was it for me.

Blech; those veggie patties from Subway taste like a*s. I think they're a conspiracy to keep people ordering the meatball subs.

The Indomitable DrugS 06-05-2007 07:14 AM

I disagree actually.

If the "sandwhich artist" behind the counter knows the drill and how to make them right---and you load them up with enough fixins and some ranch dressing---they can be scrum-diddly-ump-chous.

So, I certainly wouldn't say they "taste like ass" --- though, I can't say I've ever tasted ass before either. I've offered to perform such services on Emily once, and she not only refused....but also seemed pretty grossed out about it for minutes afterwards.

Heelarious. :) As something of a connossieur of veggie patties, though, I have to stand by my earlier statement. I think those Subway ones are nasty. I do like their veggie delite subs, though. I eat those a lot, with the Southwest sauce and lots of banana peppers and jalapeņos.

Boca Burger makes good veggie burgers.

Genuine,

Where can you find humanely raised meat? I'm thinking about becoming a vegetarian again, but my blood type (A negative) has a hard time doing the vegetarian thing without becoming anemic. I used to get sick and weak very easily (even eating the things I was supposed to.)
