Super-size me

ugh, megara, you're a flaming biatch.

this forum is for vegetarians, vegans, and those interested in learning about the vegetarian lifestyle. you seem to enjoy criticizing the vegetarian lifestyle and spend time arguing that we should accept omnivores habits.

jesus christ...

be gone.

 

Thats the MAIN problem with it...if i can respect your diet how come you wont do the same?
Thats all were asking

and its important to know more than one side of an issue, and Megara states the other sides facts..

whered all those other posts go??

 

I don't recall seeing any "facts" from Megara. He stated his OPINION over and over and over again, of course. In fact, I rarely, if ever see any facts on any of Megara's posts on this forum. IMO, Megara is a troll who comes to a forum that was created for vegetarians, Vegans and those interested in learning out the Veg*n lifestyle and deliberately stirs sh!t. It seems to me, in fact, that those who come to this forum to troll around end up being the ones who are rewarded by the board mods, and those who rise to the bait laid out by these trolls and defend their lifestyle and beliefs end up on the Banned list.

It's pretty damned funny, if you ask me, that you come to a Vegetarian Forum insisting that a bunch of mostly ethical Veg*ns "respect" your diet when you only come here to dis Veg*n beliefs.

Definitely the reason I don't bother to come here much anymore.

 

no, i'm the one asking for facts, repeatedly.....and getting spinned replies with no facts....

Why am i a troll? because you dont like what i say? most threads on here i am NOT posting on. If you notice, the ones i post on ARENT specifically on vegetarian/vegan lifestyel...they are where questions of meat are brought up.....or where organizations that wish to ban meat are brought up.

I havent attacked ANYONE for their lifestyle, for how they eat or whatever. What i said earlier stands...if anyone can find a post of something i said that attacked a person for what they eat..i'll leave and not come back. I know i havent. I dont care WHAT people eat, i WISH we could let people eat what they want and be left alone..but thats not the way it is. It makes no difference to me if you eat meat or not...how many veggies can say the same in return to omnis?


Yes, this thread turned into a huge shitfest because i said super size me was a stupid concept(which it is). Was that a troll? Am i not allowed to throw my opinion in? Sorry, but i think a movie that tries to make a point with a guy who eats nothing but mcdonalds for 30 days to be profoundly stupid and insulting. I dont see what possible point could arise from such a movie. How seriously would you take me if i amde a movie about eating dairy products only for 30 days and documented how fat igot and how bad my health was? You'd laugh, atleast i'd hope you would.

 

I, for one, have brought up on more than one thread (inccluding this one) that there are good books out there that outline the many facts about the dietary, ethical, economic and environmental facts about Veganism. Of course, you would probably not consider reading "The Food Revolution" because John Robbins is with Earthshare, and everything in "Fast Food Nation" must be false because Eric Schlosser (who isn't even a Vegetarian, BTW) is a liberal member of the media with some kind of agenda. And, of course, the PCRM has alleged ties to PETA, a group that you obviously feel to be evil.

I don't give a sh!t what you eat. I do give a sh!t that US government agencies like the FDA and the USDA have become the bought and paid for marketing groups of the meat, dairy and GMO food industries. I do give a sh!t that my insurance rates have been going up because the government fails to educate its citizens about the realities of good nutrition.

You are a troll because you can't be bothered to do a little research into the realities of the meat industry, the dairy industry and the fast food industry, but you feel the need to come hear and attack us. You pretend like you're looking for us to spoon feed it to you when you're really only looking for more fodder to continue your attack. In short you are a bore, and the only reason I'm even bothering to reply is because it happens to be a slow night at work.

BTW, you have been carping on about how McDonalds hasn't been proven to be liars in the recent past. McDonalds recently (within the past year) settled a lawsuit in which they had to pay out money to several vegetarian and religious groups because it was proved that they had consistently lied about the source of the "natural flavor" in their french fries. Turns out that the "natural flavor" was beef extract. Under the terms of the settlement, McDonalds now has to disclose the source of the flavoring in its ingredients list.

 

i have detemined why i have a problem with some people in this room. So many fail to understand what i say. Simple reading helps clear this issue right up...for instance, you say i have been carping on about how mcdonalds hasnt been proven to be liars?? Really?

how come on page 5 i am ASKING this..

"Now lets remember that this case was brought in 1990. So they were found misleading 14 years ago.

Anyone have any current misleadings of mcdonalds?"

I am ASKING for facts. No one provided any. BUt yes, i am "carping" on about how mcdonalds hasnt been lying. As i said, i've asked a lot of questions wanting facts, and i got bs in return.

Somoene provided a link to the mclibel case(which everyone should read, was interesting), which was about the only one posting any facts in this whole thread.

I have a shelf full of books to read, a mountain of homework to do every nite, and somewhere, try to find time for a little social life, but you expect me to run out and buy 2 books and have them read and report back to you!? Come on, get serious. I'm not gonna jump because you say so. I have added fast food nation on my to get list since a number have recommended it, but you have too high of expectations for a message board.
