dreadheads: veg or omni? (poll)

RAWR!!!! I is carnivore

 

does eating onion with meat make you an omni instead of a carnivore??


hhmmmmmmm onion

 

I eat mostly veggie, enjoy fresh veggies the most, but I eat meat too. I tend to sway toward fish and poultry more than red meat... occasionally get a craving for a hamburger, but I don't think I'd miss beef much if I had to give it up and it's very rarely that I like pork.

If I had the money to afford the type of diet I'd want, I'd probably eat fresh fruits and veggies all week and eat meat maybe one day out of the week.

I eat raw fish, love me some sushi, especially tuna, salmon, and eel

you'd probably be a vegetarian dish???

me too, got one on the grill right now

by the way Pat, love the new sig.... nice makeup lmao

 

I try to avoid eat as much veg as possible. I was vegetarian for 7 years and then stopped for a few years and I've gone back to being veg in the past couple months... but more for a health issue that had disappeared while I was veg and has come back since eating meat again.

I do try and eat some beef throughout the month though and actually had a great Bison steak a couple weeks ago. And I do like my steak rare.

I do not like pork much at all. I have not eaten bacon in over a decade. Blech!

 

was vegan for 2 years, just turned veggie and consequently getting hefty on cheese binges

 

yes yes

 

no they're still alive. they have a big show down with SE coming up

then into the blender with them

 

sorry brah... that's what I meant, looks good.

 

Sting's cool
Never heard of the crow
ICP is gay

 

at least we agree on that.

and how the hell could you not have heard of the crow?

 

I have lived amongst the winter wolves for the majority of my life

duh

 

any freegans in here? lol

 

Whats the deal with veganism anyways?

Vegetarians I understand, but why not use animal products at all?

I don't mean to come off as a agressive, I am genuinely interested

 

I want to be a vegan but I need to find some decent vegan cheese before I can do that I cook bascially vegan anyway so ^^

Pat: I do not drink milk because eventually, baby cows get killed. In the dairy industry female cows are pumped full of drugs to keep them lactating. Or they keep them pregnant... I know that the females are pumped ful of drugs to do something about keeping the milk there. Which is cruel really. Any woman in here who has given birth, I'm sure you wouldn't want to be 1)pumped full of drugs 2) kept pregnant most of your life 3) for those who didn't enjoy carrying a child, imagine that for the rest of yourl life. doesn't sound good to me xD anyway, the puss from the infections gets into the milk, so really, you are drinking cow puss.

The calves from the mothers get separated. If they are female they will become dairy cows. If male, they will be sold to become veal. So, there is death in milk.

Another reason I do not drink milk, is that you only need milk in infancy. You do not see fully grown animals feeding on milk. You may say, WELL you need calcium from somewhere!! Yes, but there are plenty of vegetables that have calcium. The oat milk I drink has calcium. People have said to me if I do not get enough calcium I will get osteoperosis. Infact, people who have tOO much milk can get it.

I try to avoid honey, because the dissaperance of honey bees has been linked to the stress of the whole process. Plus, its their food. Who are we to take it away?

Eggs- Well, if the chickens are treated right, I am fine with it. It is a natural process for the chickens to lay their eggs, there no deaths (that I have yet read about) that come about from eggs. There are no chicks in the eggs that commercial hens lay, as they have not been fertilized. The only death of hens I can think of is the battery hens, or the hens are cooped up in warehouses and get stomped to death by the other hens, or get diseases. My boyfriend has chickens, and those eggs are tasty ^^

Wow that was longwinded xD I eat cheese, because it is a small percentage of my previous intake. There is also the milk in soups and curries and stuff, but those are a last resort lazy food- again it is only a tiiiiiny percentage of the total ingredients. Compared to last year, I am eating maybe 80-90% vegan ^^

 

How on earth do you manage to do shops for a tenner girl?!

 

Though I don't agree with unethical treatment of animals, cows need to be milked other wise they get extremely sick.

And our body has an easier time using the calcium, iron and proteins from animals then it does from plants and nuts.


I know the treatment of animals isn't the greatest. But I think it is greatly exxagerated. We don't have factory farms and crap in Canada.

 

Hehe!! I've susssed this student thing

I buy raw ingredients like potatoes onions garrrlic, tins, pasta, stuff that will keep. Most of that stuff is 10p a pop at tesco if you get the value stuff <3 Then for the green stuff I just get frozen broccolli and runner beeeeaannzz, keeps for like, ever Then I make pizzas from scratch and stuff I make the best jacket potato and couscous... nomnomnomnonom and vegan spag bol and vegan curry and stuuff

See my fall down is when I go to tesclols, get the £10 shop, go back the day after cus I've forgotten something then spend £20 on snacks ¬¬

 

vegetarian... going on two years now. i originally stopped eating pork, then fish then all meat.

 

I really thought the treatment of cattle was exaggerated until we took a roadtrip.
Out here there are vast expanses of land with cows just roaming around eating.Tons and tons of huge cow farms, they are treated nice.
...driving through Texas was enough to make me consider veganism.We passed a farm that we smelled miles before we reached,you couldn't even see the ground- just packed in cows.

That does make me buy organic milk though.

 

Cows should only lactate when they calve, so the calve drinks the milk. If we leave these drugged up cows alone of course they will get sick. Its like the treatment of animals and how they 'function' is no longer natural. Apparently cow's will no longer survive in the 'wild' (a field in dorset with lots of grass?) because we have farmed them for so long. Thats so stupid. I agree we won't be able to let them out alone, but this is human's fault. Human's greed, Human's strive to steal every single resouce, no matter the course or consequence.

So what our bodies have an easier time digesting the milk calcium? It is healthier to eat nuts and plants, and ethically more rewarding, for me personally.

I don't think it is exagerated, I think people are just doing what they can to try to make people understand the intense environment and strains that are put on these animals, we have no right to make them our slaves. I'm glad Canada doesn't have any farms and shizz
