fairly unhealthy people if not very strict about protein .

unaware that they arent helping animals, as soy (the only practical/complete non animal protein) contributes sto rain forest destruction and kills more endangered animals.

Even though I think vegetarianism is kinda ridiculous, I don't bug vegetarians about it. They can eat whatever they want.

I think I'll steal a line from Colbert (in which he was referring to Atheists and Agnostics) :

Vegans without balls.

I'm fine with people being vegetarian. Live and let live...

Don't mind.

I just don't see the point of ''saving'' animals that contribute to global warming.

No problem with them. Eat whatever you want.

I do have problems when they try to say how much better their diet is, or how aweful I am for eating meat. Also I think if someone was really into the whole saving animals things they'd grow their own produce. Also whatever version of vegetarian that allows you to eat fish and such doesn't make much sense to me.

I just don't see the point of ''saving'' animals that contribute to global warming.

I'm not a vegetarion, but your point isn't carefully thought out. Ignoring whether or not livestock's methane gas emissions really contribute a significant amount to global warming (we'll assume it does). People eating them will not cause their numbers to decrease. It will have the opposite effect. There will be a marketable demand for them, and therefore the farmer will respond to these demands by raising more livestock.

I wish they would come over and cook me some good stuff. Sadly THEY DON'T!Diablo112688

I can immitate real sausages with whole vegetarian ingrediants, and make it taste like one, too. o-o

I think I wanna ask you guys, how are you still alive? how do you do it?

some don't consider fish to be "meat", for one.

Do you take protein supplements? Or just eat lots of eggs and cheese?

What? :|

First, are you a vegetarian (or this whole line of questioning is off .. sorry)? If so, what do you eat for protein? Meat is a great source for it, and it's fairly important to your body. Just wondering.

Meat isn't the only thing that contains protein. The difference is that when you're not eating meat (high in all types of protein) you need to mix and match your various proteins to have a healthy diet. Peanuts for example are high in fat and protein, soy is also high in protein (pretty much the staple of any vegan or vegetarian diet).

My sister is a vegan, which means she doesn't eat anything that is a bi-product of an animal, not even honey! She, however is able to maintain a fairly healthy diet, by doing the above mentioned things.

I don't care about what stuff others devour and later digest...

Now if vegetarians feel the same towards my eating habits, we're cool.

That's really hardcore, honey seems like it should be exempt because they make it whether we eat it or not lol. But I see, I'd rather take a supplement if I was a vegan or something sounds much easier than eating a bunch of soy and peanuts (like you said high in fat).

Why don't they consider fish as "meat" ?

I just don't see the point of ''saving'' animals that contribute to global warming.

Your logic fails.

I'm not arguing it's health benefits or risks, both of which are based on nutrition-science which we barely understand. Ever notice how every couple years a study will come out saying something that was once considered healthy now has risks, and vice versa? It's because we are still on the fringes of understanding nutritional science. We don't know exactly what makes a carrot good for you, we can try to analyze it and assume it's based on some specific things, but it's all fairly foggy and premature. When you remove beta-carrotine from a carrot and insert it in something else or use it independantly it's health benefits are lost. We don't yet understand why that is, but there's a bigger picture that we're not quite grasping. But instead of worrying about that, you could just be eating a carrot! Of course once the media catches wind of a new supposed finding it's completely blown out of preportion. You wind up with every health product on the market now emphasizing the importance of anti-oxidants! Which I won't even get into, but again it's pretty new science and we're no where near fully understanding the effects of it.

Most protein supplements are made from animal products (whey protein is derived from milk for example), with the exception of soy.. but who likes soy anyhow. Fact is most plant based proteins are pretty bottom barrel. Not saying they are bad, but you're just stuck eating a hell of a lot of beans and lentils, enough nuts to sky rocket your calorie intake, or a bunch of soy that stimulate estrogen production. Woohoo!
