lol..not clever and witty like you, just more intelligent..
quote EaryhGoddess:
It's aggressive vegetarians that piss me off to no bounds. They alone are the only reason why I can not, nor will I ever become a full vegetarian.
No, the reason y u wont go vego is because it was just too hard..and the way u went about it, too..just 2 weeks and on a raw diet? no wonder you buckled..perhaps some proper research and dedication would have helped..and the whole burger thing, it wasnt just the meat, it was the high sugar and fat content, too. one..no doubt you had a sugary drink with that as well?
Considering all the running and walking we had to do back then, we would have all died of malnutrition if we ate a low calorie diet. Thank you Anthropology. Who's ignorant now?
based on your previous posts in another forum, you claim that Americans are doing less activity because of being sedentary? if thats the case, if you are using less energy, then eat LESS meat..duh!
I already know that, Poindexter.

The brain shrinkage thing is based on statistics from human skulls found all over the world, dating from modern times to 10,000 years ago. Also, you're not clever at all.

WOW...an aggressive vegetarian..I thought none were out there...kudos to you..u have my vote
It's aggressive vegetarians that piss me off to no bounds. They alone are the only reason why I can not, nor will I ever become a full vegetarian. In fact, you've pissed me off so much today, I'm going to have a bloody piece of cow carcass for dinner. Good job.
To quote EarthGoddess: "I am Semi-Vegetarian, meaning only a very small portion of my diet is meat."
Is there any such thing? I thought a vegetarian refrained from eating ANY meat, not when it just suited their needs..better grab my dictionary on that one
does someone's brain shrink over their lifetime because of calorie intake? i learnt in my first year Biology class at university that its because of the ageing process.... i better google it.
ok... So making generalizations WAS extreme on my part... but aren't you doing the same?
Nope. You are the only person here making generalizations here. You're assuming I have a problem with vegetarianism, when I do not. I am Semi-Vegetarian, meaning only a very small portion of my diet is meat. You're just angry that someone's opinion differs from yours. Get over it.

It's an indisputable fact that the human brain is a ravenous consumer of calories. If you decrease the amount of fat and calories you take in, your brain will shrink ever so slightly. It's just common sense. Take it however you want it.

Like I said, you're the one trying to pick a fight with me, by making an incorrect decision on what my opinion on vegetarianism is in the first place.

Rotting carcass? Stop it, you're making me hungry. And you really need to drop that ridiculous attitude. That's the only reason I hate Vegans/Vegetarians, and that's why most everyone else hates them too. I don't care what you eat, it's that big fucking moral elitist ego that needs to be put in check. Learn some humility.
Why the hell do you think all the Mammoths and Mastodons are gone? Because we ate them all. Thousands of years ago, before agriculture, the majority of our diet was meat. Which is what I mean by "massive amounts". Considering all the running and walking we had to do back then, we would have all died of malnutrition if we ate a low calorie diet. Thank you Anthropology. Who's ignorant now?
ok... So making generalizations WAS extreme on my part... but aren't you doing the same? The different between vegetarians and meat eaters is just one simple food choice. Eat as many pigs as you want, but don't tell me that you're brain is bigger or better than mine. If any one thinks they're superior it's meat eaters that expect everyone to share their love for it. Trust me, I'm no wimp. Blood doesn't make me feel queezy... I just don't want to consume it. Enjoy all the meat you want... but don't hate me because I on't want any. I think that there are organizations (PETA) that go over board... no one should throw red paint on someones expensive fur coat just because it's fur. There would be too many animals in the world if no one hunted. All this is true. STILL I just don't like meat. I am a very healthy, strong, athletic person. Vegetarian is nto a disadvantage except when it comes to people like you who think you know everything, because the world is what you've learned in school. I became vegetarian because I opened my eyes to what marketing has done to convince people of "healthy" It's a matter of trust not superiority.

You sound incredibly ignorant when you say "massive amounts of fat and protien." The reality is that our bodies need only so much protien, and consuming too much forces our body to break it down into simplier fats.

Saturated fat doesn't make you overwieght. An overabundance of calories do. Too much saturated fat is what contributes to heart disease.

Wrong. I watched some family members down in South Carolina kill and roast a whole hog once. That bastard was delicious. We had pulled pork sandwiches for weeks. And I have also killed and gutted king salmon growing up.

Wrong again. I've seen some pretty messed up videos of pigs being slaughtered. Did I care? Nope. I still eat pork by the truck load.

Learn some humility. Those animals are "scarfed down" by all countries in the Western world. And America is one of the most health obsessed countries in the world. Why do you think The Biggest Loser is so popular here? And The Atkins Diet, The Zone, The South Beach Diet, The Weigh Watchers Diet, The Grapefruit Diet? Need I go on?
It's doesn't matter what you eat, just lower your caloric intake and increase your activity level. Obesity won't be an issue. And sorry, but I tried an all natural diet, raw fruits and vegetables, nuts, tofu, whatever, for 2 weeks, but that whole time I was exhausted alllll day. I slept about 12-15 hours a day. Once I got off the diet and went to Carl's Jr. for a cheeseburger, I suddenly had energy. Your diet just isn't right for everyone. Go impose your will on someone else, you fascist.

It can be difficlt not to eat any animal by-products.. why not just eat LESS of them first? Every small step helps... and don't freak out over "going back" being vegetarian is more of a personal statement than a world shaking decision.

Encouraging a kid to continue typing like a blind baboon, is beyond stupid and an injustice to said kid. I simply can not read what she says without laughing because it is so poorly written. It makes me wonder if she is as sincere about her cause as she says. I mean the VERY least you could do to help animals and the environment is to write semi-perfectly so people will understand what it is you are trying to say. (OMGWHATACONCEPT!!!!!111)
EDIT: I'd also like to point out that my brain is dumb and I'm not as good at deciphering misspelled words and poorly written sentences as others.
I don't understand the fixation with perfect spelling either. As long as you can be understood, I don't see the problem. And I haven't had any trouble understanding your spelling. It's usually your line of thinking I stumble with, but that's my problem, not yours.
