giving up meat is harder than giving up weed
im a veggietarian its great :) good for the earth (the meat industry is the #1 polluter) the animals, you (as long as you make sure to get the right nutrition) and last but not least your karma ;)
i've always thought that giving up meat doesn't actually save any animal lives, right? Because when you get meat at a store or restaurant, it's already processed and ready to buy. In other words, not buying it, even if it means you consume, say, 100 less pounds of chicken a year, just means a little more gets thrown out when it goes bad. i'm not disputing that it's worse for you than a vegetarian diet, but a healthy diet can have meat
i agree, the meat industry is pretty damn bad in about every single wayQuote:

The livestock industry is one of many factors of the decay of the Earth.
What do I do about it?
I eat a cow a day.
No cows, no industry.
Petas full of shit.
Agreed. The idea of making a stand by not eating meat, has about as much merit as trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon. I will eat meat until the day I die, and no one will ever be able to convince me otherwise.Quote:
