why do so many people hate vegetarians?

Because you all keep preaching how bad meat is. We are tired of it. Just eat your potatoes and leave the rest of us alone.

Because you guys are like a cult pushing your beliefs on others.

Cause you all act as smug as prius drivers.

Because Meat eaters tend to be Douchebags when it comes to Telling them they are Eating Tainted Flesh of Pork and Cow.


It must also Be a "Worms" thing too Since Having Body worms (like everyone Does) Makes you CRAVE flesh since those lil bastards Feed of thee Flesh

it is their own guilt.

While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered beasts, how can we expect any ideal conditions on this earth? ~George Bernard Shaw

I can't stand people who kill and consume plant life.

I think it's because of the horrible stereotypes associated with them that have actual people sometimes backing up the assertions.


In other words...


Dirty hippies.

And commies.

How do you know if someone is a vegetarian.
















They will fucking tell you all about it!

My point exactly^^

Amen. I'm so sick of "being educated" by vegetarians and vegans and all other food nazis. I'm tired of tip toeing around so as to not offend you. Mind your own damn business and let people be. Whatever happened to live and let live.

those are the animal flesh eaters for sure.

they taste like vegetables

And thats why Aspartame and Fluoride is Legally Placed in your Food and Drinking Water....Because people Like you Dont Give a Fuck...

I don't proselytize, but I can understand why someone would.
The animals you are eating have been tortured every single day of their short lives.
If you knew Aushwitz was happening, wouldn't you want to tell everyone you knew about it, to try and change it?

that may be true for most but not me!

this is another post that i made for somewere elce but its a good reply to your statement.

I am a vegetarian for health reasons alone, a few months ago I got into a long online argument with a whole heap of vegans, but before I started that argument when someone would ask me why am I a vegetarian I would say because of health and animal welfare reasons but now after the replies I got from that discusion I have come to the realisation that if I was doing it for the animals I would be a Vegan or raw foodist.
Thanks to those Vegans I now put my survival over that of my animals, having said that I will still continue to take care of my animals as humanely as possible but I no longer feel false gilt if I sell excess animals off for meat as I am now only vegetarian for health reasons. I owe those vegans a lot because I can now sell my excess roosters, my excess ducks, my excess male goats (as I only need one for breeding stock), excess honey from my new EXTRA beehives, and I am now looking into aquaculture which is something I would never have done before because It would of gone against my false idea that I was a vegetarian for animal welfare, I am also going to supply most of my fish food as worms from my new large worm farms and other bugs.
If I thought meat was healthy I would keep some of it myself to eat but I don’t think anyone could convince me to do that.

Meats not good enough for me to eat it but if people want to eat it than that’s there choice. I must admit i do make some omni people freak out a bit at first but after a short time everyone so far has come too really like my state of mind.

I have also found that omnies in general tend to be a lot more receptive to the idea of Vegetarianism than they used to be around me because of my new found laid back attitude, they see me as more of a realist now as opposed to some weirdo hippie making them feel bad and trying to convert them.

I now believe that people who think of themselves as omnivores have just as much right to eat meat as a carnivore such as a dog, I believe myself to be a Vegetarian therefore I have no right or need to eat meat!
The mind is a powerful thing, to quote Henry Ford "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.", we can jump up and down and tell someone one logical fact after another until we are blue in the face and it wont matter one bit if they don’t believe that Vegetarianism or Veganism is right for them, if for some reason an omnivore who truly believes that they need meat to be healthy was forced to live on a vegetarian or vegan diet than there is a VERY HIGH chance that there physical and mental health would decrease (regardless of how much healthy food they eat) because of the restrictions that their mind has put in place!

Vegetarians and omnies are always getting bashed by vegans because they think that we don’t know enough about Animal rights and all that is needed is for vegans to fill in the gaps and that people (especially vegetarians) will jump on the band wagon as soon as they are told, that’s not the case for people in 3rd world countries and also for people like me who live in “first world countries” where the ground is so depleted from centuries of monoculture farming, mining and forestry that you could take a sledgehammer to the rock hard ground and break the hammers handle, and this is what we have to try and grow food in, which would be nearly impossible without the help of animals.

I would be quite surprised if there was a vegan or a vegetarian that has not tried to convert at leased one person. There is only one thing that can change or alter what the majority of the public believes (as it often does) and that is the Main Stream Media, sadly Adolph Hitler knew this all to well as he once said “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.” not that I am saying Vegetarianism is a lie but unless you can control the Main Stream Media you cannot change someone into believing that Vegetarianism or Veganism is right for them, it must be there choice that they make of there own free will and in there own time or else it wont last.

And as for health,
In my opinion there are many vegan and vegetarian foods that are a lot unhealthier to eat than either dairy or meat.
Lets talk about a man named John, John lives off a diet of mostly dairy, meat, white sugar, white flour, white rice, white bread, High Sugar breakfast Cereals, carbonated drinks, deep-fried foods, Cookies and Candy.
If our friend John was to change all of the above foods other than meat and dairy to healthier versions he would be a lot healthier than he would be if he only stopped eating meat and dairy and kept eating the rest.

By themselves Vegetarianism and Veganism do not guarantee a healthy diet, they can be a start but by themselves all they will ever be when it comes to health is to be a part of a healthy diet.
So if you are only worried about health meat and dairy should be one of the last things you will need to cut out of your diet.
And while we are on the topic of health, in my opinion there is not a single person in the world that can come up with a good argument that Honey is unhealthy.

I do not care about them as long as they do not try to 'convert' me trough insulting. I even can discuss that 'converting' issue with them, but then even more likely they go all out crazy.

So advice: be vegetarian and do not overdo while trying to make others vegetarians ;)

Because they're pious assholes who think in black and white. You're with us or against us....that doesn't go over well, Ask W.

In the end nobody gives a shit what you eat.

Um, I eat fowl and seafood. Do you eat eggs or cheese? Cuz those would be food from animals contaminated with worms, right? Or are you a vegan, pasty and skinny and moody?

I do have a conscience and buy humanely raised organic meat wherever possible. We don't eat a lot of meat but come on, are you saying we should all be vegans? That is not our natural diet.

^^^ This.

They are like the loony Hare Krishnas who used to come door to door trying to convert you.
Same ones who used to stand around in airports handing out flowers.

Most need a good rooting.

talk about it too much and post threads on it.

End of thread

Cows and chickens are not humans. That is a stupid comparison.

If we wouldn't have eaten meat as a species, we would be no more intelligent than gorillas.

[link to www.livescience.com]

"One study, published last month in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, examined the brain sizes of several primates. For the most part, larger bodies have larger brains across species. Yet human have exceptionally large, neuron-rich brains for our body size, while gorillas — three times more massive than humans — have smaller brains and three times fewer neurons. Why?

The answer, it seems, is the gorillas' raw, vegan diet (devoid of animal protein), which requires hours upon hours of eating only plants to provide enough calories to support their mass.

Researchers from Brazil, led by Suzana Herculano-Houzel, a neuroscientist at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, calculated that adding neurons to the primate brain comes at a fixed cost of approximately six calories per billion neurons.

For gorillas to evolve a humanlike brain, they would need an additional 733 calories a day, which would require another two hours of feeding, the authors wrote. A gorilla already spends as much as 80 percent of the tropic's 12 hours of daylight eating.

Similarly, early humans eating only raw vegetation would have needed to munch for more than nine hours a day to consume enough calories, the researchers calculated. Thus, a raw, vegan diet would have been unlikely given the danger and other difficulties of gathering so much food.

I'm a Vagatarian. Is that close to a vegetarian?

I'm alright with you vegan wussies.

More meat for me to eat.

Hit the nail on the head - guilt. They don't want to give up their eating habits although they know (but try to ignore) that it brings torture and pain to thousands of animals. So, they put their fingers in their ears and say 'la la la' to try and not hear the truth so they can continue their lifestyles guilt-free.

I don't think vegetarians think they are above the meat-eaters, because we all have faults. But I think the meat-eaters do think the vegetarians are a step ahead in the area of compassion and they don't like to think they are less of a person that they could be - so they throw out hate instead of exam their lives and try to be better, more compassionate people.

I'm a vegetarian but I envy vegans and am trying to work my way to that form of eating. Vegans are more compassionate than vegetarians. IMO, I respect that.

Because anyone who doesn't eat Bacon is up to no good !
