I wish people would refrain from posting PETA related information.

[leah.]

Both sides of this argument annoy me a great deal; the self-righteous vegetarian (I don't quite understand them) and the omnivores who claim that 'meat is natural/the only way to obtain protein'. PETA also irritates me.

I do eat a vegan diet (when purchasing food), live as much as I possibly can without using products with animal by-products, I do, however, consider myself as a freegan - I am more against consumerism and waste than anything.

I live in texas. I know how hard it is. Texas is probably the worst place for a vegan to live lol XD You just have to do, you can't be hesitant. Just do research before hand and get a lot of recipes. www.vegweb.com is a great place to start.

I lived the first decade of my life in Texas. It's near impossible for me a vegetarian now. Barbecue is just too damn good.

Oh, please. All of that fake meat shit is processed garbage that is loaded with nutrients that you can't even digest, not to mention cheap soy which is loaded with chemicals and estrogen. It tastes like crap. It's a total culinary disaster. It's like a regular microwavable meal, but even faker and more plain. To even suggest that a person with even remotely good taste could stomach that artificial dystopian-esque vomit is not only absurd, but it tells me something about the inherent flaw of radical ideology: it attracts superficiality. For you see, it is difficult in this diverse, internationalist modern society for one, two, or perhaps three parents to provide for their family member's each individual dietary choices. Brands like Morningstar and Boca (labels chosen because it doesn't imply that the enclosed products are actually edible) offer a convenient solution to these diverse, upper-middle class liberal families who can afford these expensive slabs of dehydrated plant-rubber. That way, all of the fourteen and fifteen year old myspace radicals can easily trivialize serious adult issues that they think they are capable of comprehending with their teeny tiny still-growing brains and raging sexual hormones. We've all seen it before, and we all make sure that door hits you on the way out.

Thanks for turning me in to a caricature. Thanks for trivializing my struggles as a man against the indignity I see in the world today. I appreciate the attitudes I suffer because of your teenage confusion.

The simple fact is that you cannot have barbecue and be vegan or vegetarian. Why? Because barbecue is nothing but beans flavored with bacon, buttered bread, potato salad, a shit ton of meat, and peach cobbler or banana pudding to help you digest it all.

You know what you should try? A black bean taco. Try adding some nutritional yeast and a good spicy salsa (no major brands!). Or perhaps you can try some lentil soup with a green smoothie. Maybe some curry or some vegetable stir fry. The possibilities are endless. But no, vegetarian hamburgers, hot dogs, ribs, cheeses, and etcetera are absolutely, 100% disgusting and I am appalled that you would push this gross inedible crap as reasonable replacements for the average American diet of low quality and unhealthy frozen meals and fast food over a nutritious home cooked meal that is delicious in it's own right. I know mommy says the stove is hot and you might hurt yourself, but maybe you could give something other than the microwave a try. A few scars always does one good.

I love the lol at the end of that. It fits in so perfectly.

I love how Sertra can attack consumer culture without coming off as a total liberal.

no matter what you kill its still murder, a person, animal, buttefly, flower.

Murder is a person killing another person.

Can you please tell me what the purpose of words are if they don't carry agreed meaning? Murder = human killing human.

[Lyth]

I think animal rights, while possibly an important issue tend be carried to borderline irrational extremes by their supporters and wind up distracting people from the real issues. You've got people yelling, "No more war...and no more meat". The animal rights people wind up chasing away people who might otherwise support an important movement by alienating people for doing something that is our DNA.

[tiredoflies]

I'm not so much against eating animals but more against giving my money to these companies who horribly abuse their animals

Short video really, but it made up my mind. If all companies used CAK then I probably wouldn't be a vegetarian
