Meet Your Meat

Trust me, your parents won't starve you. You may have to be a bit hungry for a couple of days because you'ree not eating full meals.... but eventually they WILL get the message. :) But I agree that it's much easier to change your diet when you're providing it yourself.

i hate everyone who treats animals wrongly.

but heres the problem, ive seen movies of cows, pigs, (you name it) being slaughtered and wanted to be a vegetarian sooo bad. but when i tell my mom she says that im really stupid. she tells me to be a man and let it be. our family serves meat everyday. and if i refused to eat then they will just let me starve because they know i will come out and eat sooner or later. so i just have to eat meat (i have no money whatsoever to buy my own food).

one thing that i do is when i go somewhere (a farm) where i can see or hear a duck or chicken get killed to be eaten, i dont eat it. i dont talk to anyone there for the rest of the week. i would starve myself if i had seen it. it just makes me feel soo bad.

dogs and puppies have the biggest soft spot in my heart. i would do anything for my dog. if need be, i would kill for my dog, if someone was harming her. shes a little shihtzu/maltese puppy. i have fought for someones puppy (that i didnt even know). i almost took a bat to an old man's head because he was about the throw a rope around a little dog's neck and drag it behind his truck.

i hate those ppl soo bad.

I totally understand, my soft spot for animals made me go veggie. It took me too long:( But I made it! heehee. I'm sure it's really really hard to deal with parents who have opposing views:( I definitely encourage you in rebelling against mainstream meat loving republican crap! Maybe get your mom to watch the meet your meat video. It's unusual for women especially to be indifferent to animals:( Unfortunately adults rarely change:( But don't give up! You're on the right track! People need to be more caring towards animals. Infinitely more caring. Good for you for helping the puppy!!! Anyways, stick to your beliefs and you'll definitely make a difference:)

i really really want to more than anything, you know. i have shown her one of those videos already, along with a PETA video of a little monkey getting beat and stuffed into a small tube and abused and one of a golden retreiver that get beat in the face with a skateboard (it was all over the internet) and after she watched them the only thing i got from her was "so??"

she said that it doesnt matter if i turn vegetarian becuase its not like theyll stop killing the farm animals. they will still kill them no matter what i do. and she said its not like im killing them, im just eating the meat of the animals that have been killed and processed by someone else. then she said stop acting stupid and trying to be like other people. i really wanted to punch her face in. and yesterday when she made that little bunny cry, i yelled at her and was getting ready to shove her into the pavement but i held back. i really want to show her how badly i feel for these animals but she just thinks im going through a pahse. she thinks that since im a boy i will get older and turn into a man and not be so soft for animals. tells me that i act like a grl. if there was a day when one of my family members hurt a puppy that belonged to be, i wouldnt hesitate to beat them sp hard. and im not trying to talk tough.

i hate myself for not being able to hold up with myself and stay a vegetarian. having to go through all the verbal torture and having words thrown at you for trying to stay away from meat. i wish i could make a difference in my life.

(i dont really have a problem with eating seafood... i guess i just feel this way for mammals.)

also ghost, she will probably starve me and if she sees that its really affecting me then she would do whatever she can to force me to eat

"she said that it doesnt matter if i turn vegetarian becuase its not like theyll stop killing the farm animals. they will still kill them no matter what i do."

I've had that line used on me so many times. I think even the people who use it know that it's completely illogical, but so are most of their arguments...

The fact of the matter is that the more people that buy meat the more meat will be killed. If one person stops eating meat then maybe they won't kill any less animals, but for every one person thinking about giving up meat i'm sure there are thousands of people in the same situation. If you all stopped eating meat at the same time then yes, it wpould make a huge difference. Think about it; most vegetarians have been in your situation at some point... and we all made the step and gave it up. With so many vegetarians not eating meat it's a fact that the meat industry isn't killing as much meat as it would be if EVERYONE ate meat. :)

so can you guys help me here. ive been eating meat (even though i dont want to, but its just my diet now) everyday and im not sure if ill be affected if i stop. most of the times i dont really think about when im eating when i eat meat but thats basically all i eat. tacos, burgers, steaks, etc.
i dont really know what il eat otherwise. i dont really eat salads (most of the times im too lazy to make it.. loo long) i just dont know how im going to go about it and completely change my diet

Good luck!

meat is great. i love a nice big, juicy, bloody ass steak on my plate when supper time comes around. i'll eat meat for the rest of my life. those videos don't bother me at all. i help hack deer in to pieces every year to cook up and eat. i deal with the organs and blood, etc, etc... i don't know what's wrong with everyone who says that eating meat is so evil or wrong. it's a fucking joke to me. i mean, to each his own, but HEY, don't try and tell me i can't eat the stuff, and don't bitch and whine at me about some pig that got his skull caved in so i could have pork chops. i don't care. it's an animal, and that's what they are here for. anyhow, nice video... no sickness here.

^^ disgusting. ever heard of karma? ;)

karma, shmarma... who's got the A-1 ?

Smother the truth in denial. Enjoy it. :(
