you hate to what? you HAVE to eat meat on sundays? i respect every religion, but i invite you to make yourself this question: what religion can say to me to kill someone for any reason?
and: if there’s a god, would he, from his spiritual highness, teach us to sacrifice a life?
i think he would do the opposite, cause the basis of any religion is to have respect of life, and even if not explicitly stated, the more complete and consistent version is: have respect of EVERY KIND of life!
note: see antispecisism

well, i can’t understand how she can eat pasta everyday without vegetables: sauces for pasta are made with them!
and also, there’s so many cereals you could eat as a first course, like all kind of rices, spelt, barley, cous cous, millet…!
anyway, she could get a better diet, adding much fruit and a iron-vit b12 dietary supplement(vegan, that is 100% of plant origin).
BE FREE – BE HIGH – GO VEGAN!

you’re either a vegetarian or you’re not. if you eat any meat at all(even if only once a week), you are an omnivore.

That’s not necessarily true. My boyfriend and I are both vegetarians, I love veggies and he survives on cliff bars and tortellini. He is not a vegetarian for his health (although he does like the benefits of vegetarian living and is trying to follow a healthier way of eating), but because of the American farming industry and animal cruelty. I have a lot of friends who are vegetarian for the same reasons. Therefore vegetarianism is not equivalent to health, and everyone has their own personal reason for going veg.

Most pasta nowadays has no eggs in it. Egg noodles tend to be more expensive anyway.

Note: A lot of cheap pasta will say “may contain traces of eggs”, but that’s just so they don’t get sued if someone has a deathly allergy. Buying the pasta will only increase the demand for wheat, not eggs.

You do know that vegetarians can eat eggs, cheese etc? They just don’t eat dead animals or flesh etc. You are thinking of a Vegan. Vegans are the ones that don’t eat any animal by products not a vegetarian.

Well if you have never eaten meat your whole life, then it means it was what your parents believed because you really had no sayso or understanding when you where a toddler.

Vegetables still suffer, but “their suffering is less”…ugh I’m not a troll but I know that its phrases like this that cause people to blink when they hear “I’m a vegetarian” just like people stagger a bit when they hear “I’m a Mormon” or “Isn’t Sarah Palin like the smartest woman EVER?”

There is convincing evidence that people, if they sustain certain damage to their central nervous system, can no longer experience consciousness. Ironically they are often called “vegetables”. Vegetables however have no central nervous system. Vegetables do not have any known mechanism for even knowing they have been plucked from the ground. They do not suffer when they are harvested. If you believe that they do, then the onus is on you to demonstrate this biologically. A hundred years of biology has failed to discover this, so good luck to you.

I have a certain limited respect for people who process information with their feelings. Its not the way I usually process information, but I think it makes a good “check and balance” or perhaps “sanity check” is a better phrase, for processing ideas using simple cold calculation. However, this is a prime example of someone who needs to dabble in a bit of logic to go with that feeling-oriented argumentation. Feel bad about harvesting plants if you wish, its a free country. But vegetarianism is greatly disserved when it is marginalized with wacko-talk.

IMO, the best way to promote vegetarianism would be to promote a lifestyle with “less meat”, and let people see for themselves if there are health benefits, and eliminate the guilt trip which causes so many to reject it as a gut reaction. Start talking about how vegetables suffer and you’ll spark studies wondering if vegetarians need more protein in their diet to process ideas.

I’m a vegetarian… it’s a wonder I’m walking around still. I do not like vegetables. (Except the occasional salad- lettuce and cheese only, with dressing. Carrots are okay sometimes as well.) So basically whenever I go out for dinner I get something with no meat or tomato. I despise tofu and beans. But I don’t have any medical problems so something’s going good.

And Shyamalii, that is a pescetarian.
