did anyone miss the part where vegetarians use hundreds of animal products every day pretty much no matter what they do?

the regulars kind of already know that vegetarianism is an inferior choice of lifestyle whether it's based on logic or not (it isn't)

what if you just ate roo

or camel
Just made lasagne with roo mince. All that talk about lasagne yesterday made me crave it.

Vegetarianism is silly. If people do it to change the world, think about how many people AREN'T vegetarian. It's not going to make much of a difference. Animals are bred to be slaughtered an eaten. (Who gives a shit about animals when there are people dying everyday from preventable things? I'd bet that not many vegetarians do much to help these people)
Nutritionally it is unwise. Plant protein is not as high quality as animal protein (doesn't contain all essential amino acids) and it digests differently to meat.
Iron supplements are second to iron from red meat.

Why not go organic/free range? Doing this will make more of a difference than not eating meat. If supermarkets notice an increase in organic foods being purchased, they're going to stock more and organic farmers will start earning more etc.
Vegetarianism is just some new hipster fad for people who want to get up on a moral pedestal.

Translation: I'm going to assuage my guilt by attacking other people who aren't too precious to make small sacrifices.

Yeah vegetarians that look down on others/impose their view are shit. They're like fundamentalist christians.

But srs, consuming and wearing are two different things. (although i can appreciate the irony that both practices end with the death of something anyway.)

my ex (not ex at the time) took me to an abbatoir so i could see the CRUELTY ANIMALS FACE BEFORE WE EAT THEM!!!! i didn't really care for it.

in return i made her come with me to my nanna's farm and help me kill and prepare some chooks and a duck.

No guilt with eating animals. Not at all (srs) All the animal products I buy are free range. Me not eating meat isn't going to make a difference, and I love meat(lol). So, I just buy products where the animals aren't bred in such shit conditions.
