    This thread is obnoxious and you only see things like this on vegetarian forums..omnis dont sit around obsessing about all the appearing tofu products and vegans.

    The above quote and it's ilk make me mad. This person obviously doesnt truly understand nature/biology and that humans are already a part of nature. We arent alien beings that were dropped here on this peaceful innocent rock to torture the earth. We evolved and our brains evolved. Nature saw fit to equip humans with a superior brain. It is our only source of self-defense. Lions have fangs and talons...humans dont. we have to use our brains, construct weapons, and clever tactics in order to survive. Yes it has gotten out-of-hand, unless this was nature's plan for us.we dont know. Humans are natural omnivores as are chimpanzees and many other primate species. We can choose to not eat meat and many dont, but it isnt unnatural for us to eat it. We dont seperate from nature whenever we eat meat.

    Humans were never seperate from nature. The definition of nature has just been warped to accomadate ideals of compassion, peace, and happiness. A happy smiling woodnymph running merrily through the ancient woods only eating berries with her woodland creature friends.

    Nature has never been compassionate, peaceful, or happy. It's cruel and unforgiving as well as unpredictable. Nature is a moody bitch who can raise hell when she sees fit and will eradicate anything she doesnt like. She created carnivores who maim and eat the herbivores. She created humans who wreak havoc. She has earthquakes and other murderous,destructive events to cause chaos across the planet and universe.

    Mother Nature has a sick sense of humor and we are all at her mercy equally.

    You are a fucking moron...have you ever been to europe, to south america...they eat as much or more meat there,. Stop being such a pussy, live your own life and don't worry about what other people are doing asshole.


    Eat whatever you want, just SHUT UP about it.

    Hi Bhaskar!
    I'm Dutch and living in America. It can be quite a culture shock changing countries! I hope you'll enjoy your time here. It will at least be very educational (and I'm not just talking about your studies).

    Where in India are you from? I'm married into an Indian family and have been to India once (Bangalore).

    bujeebus!

    Man! I never expected this thread to balloon into such a war (though i ought ot have known it...) All I was saying is how much of a shoch it is for me, coming from a perdominantly vegetarian country. All I can get at mcdonalds is fries and a shake...which is fine, junk food isnt very healthy anyway.

    Ive got the hang of eating here though, which is to cook for yourself, its healthier and cheaper and I cook pretty well, so Im fine :)

    Hi Wanda!
    Im from Madras (Chennai) which is about 4 hours or so drive from Bangalore and a must visit city in December (classical music season).

    yes it has been a sudden change in some ways, but IM rather enjoying it and Im comfortable here and adapting well enough. Cant wait for classes to start :).

    Hehe..guess what? Mcdonald fries (in america) aren't veggie safe.....I just found this out when I decided to go veg. They are fried in beef taow...beef..uh...beef something or other (animal fat I think). Anyway....I mainly wanted to say WELCOME and I am glad you are enjoying yourself here! I can imagine what a shock it must be coming from a veggie country. My best wishes to you in your future here:)

    Calm down Megara, you ass. He is new to this country and your just being extremely nit picky.

    I think that you sending your hate out to veggies in general, especially on this forum, just shows how much it provokes your false mind set. Stick with your ego somewhere else, because your not ready for the infinite truth...

    Meat eaters are the majority all over the world, it isnt an american thing. Why should anyone be shocked when meat is marketed to such an extent when it is so prevalent in society? How am i being extremely nit picky? If facts are being nit picky, i'm sorry, but i prefer them.

    Hate for veggies? i dont hate anyone because they are a veggie thank you very much. Senseless hate isnt my thing.

    I hope you're joking about the 'infinite truth' bit.

    take twenty deep breathes through the back of your nose after you read a post, dont reread it, and then see how you feel

    is that supposed to be a joke?

    I'm not sure if it is because text doesnt show inflection, or if its just how i write, but my posts are not meant to be taken personally and i dont mean them to be harsh or to belittle anybody, atleast too much. However, i do have little patience with things that are should be blatantly obvious.

    Then again, i do stir up lots of anger in this forum for having a different view than most. Out of the wayyyyyy to many posts i have posted on this board, about 5 were meant harshly, and all but 1 were to people were banned from this forum(you can take 2 guesses who those 2 were).

    But whatever

    America is apalling!

    Is a pretty hatful topic.

    BTW I have to see adds for alcohol shoved in my face! I with they would go away and prohibition to return but I don't see that happening.

    And maybe that's why there are so many meat eaters. People are influenced by the media, like sheep. Not that I don't like sheep, I just don't think people should emulate them. Or eat them;).

    i dont know why people think meat is so evil. its human nature to eat meat, but alot of people dont like it.


    its all a matter of tastes and beliefs really, just dont shove your own beliefs down someones else's throat and say eating meat is abd cause it isnt.

    Why on earth does believing in animal rights mean you automatically care about health and wellbeing? If someone wants to end the use of battery production in modern animal farming, then of their own accord and free will, goes and has smokes some pot, how are they being hypocritical?

    Funny you say that because that is what I end up saying to Omnis who give me shit about my diet. I don't give a shit what they eat, just leave me the fuck alone about my diet and let's get to talking about something more productive.

    Peace and Love,
    Dan
