Gelatin

[TallulahGreen]

If we werent so modernized and we still had to hunt, skin, drain the animals of there blood, mutilate them and hack them apart to get the desired meats, A LOT more people would be like you, some just dont know the cruelty and disgusting acts that are followed through just so they can wrap there hands around there greasy, 99 cent 1/4 pounder from macdonalds(provided they use real meat in their food)

Ive quit eating red meats so now im down to chicken and fish, and i tried eating vegetarian pizza, but it just wasnt the same...this is probably as far as i will go though, being a vegetarian is a lot of work, and no one accomodates for the veggie.

I am fortunate enough to live in a very unique community where most all restaurants can cater to almost any dietary restriction. In fact, it isn't considered odd, weird, or out of the ordinary at all. Sometimes I find it odd when I meet people who do eat meat. I am lucky.

I don't even know if it was necessarily the cruetly factor to animals that made me decide to be a vegetarian or not. I just got this horrible feeling everytime I ate meat and everytime I found a tiny bone in my meat. Freaked the fuck out of me, I didn't like to know that I was eating something that used to be alive and habiting the earth...I just couldn't get past the texture, it was too hard for me to eat meat so I just naturally became a vegetarian. I rarely find it to be difficult, and I really don't think I will ever eat meat.

hey, at least that stuff isn't going to waste. :stoned:

You know I always thought gross shit in food like that was horrible. But seen this way, that's true man. I don't think rotting pig bones in the soil helps out our marijuana plants growing any healthier. By using hard learned knowledge from millenias of experience, we found ways of putting things to better use. It's not true with everything, don't get me wrong, but a lot of technology like that is actually good.

This example though, is not very valid of this point, lol. All the shit gelatin is used in is rather horrible for our healths anyway.

Meh go figure.

Well good this would be a pretty boring place if everyone agreed, but I didnt say everyone, i said a lot more, the majority of North Americans buy there meat from grocers or butchers, if there were neither of these establishments the number of people eating meat would go down that I am certain of.

i think it would have a lot to do with were you live. for instance i dont think too many people are going to be hanging a pig from the street lamp in brooklyn new york. but then again if someone in my area couldnt go to the store to buy pork chops, i dont think it would cause to much concern.

I'll still eat stuff with gelatin in it, I realy don't care. I have met some a few vegitarians that were al right, and I have met some PETA members that are complete jack asses. Hell the guy that introduced me to weed was a vegitarian, not for the "suffering of the animals" (that were breed for that specific purpose) but because he just didn't like the taste.

Really? craziness well here in my part of canada vegetarianism is made fun of and looked down upon, and most vegetarians are fat emo girls who are just trying to be different.

Where are you at? (general area) We have 2 veggie restraunts within an hour of where I am that i know of. If you go over to a friends house and eat dinner with there family, some type of meat is always the main course. So right now i just find it easier and more practical to go about my way of life. O and the cruelty is mostly the reason i am the way i am, i think a cow should have the same right to live as a dog does or any other animal.

But yeah don't go throwin around the word hypocrite unless you know what you are talking about.

relax shit, it was a fucking joke

Don't expect food companies to tell you what is exactly in gelatin. Yes it is from an animal. They usually say that it is either from beef or pork because food companies get it from different suppliers so it cant really be tracked.

relax shit, it was a fucking joke

yeah well, it wasn't very funny was it?



I'm always amazed when people are floored by vegetarians. "how? why? Don't you miss meat?" If you really want to understand why vegetarians don't eat meat, try it for a month. If you're not convinced, go back to pounding big macs. Its your life afterall. And our life is our life. Diet is a choice.

Having said that, vegetarianism is totally a better choice. At least for me. Probably for everyone.

I still eat meat. I have contemplated stopping it a few times. I do feel that not eating meat would be a cleaner way to live. Meat sometimes feels like it is weighing me down. Maybe it is because I eat too many cheeseburgers!
