    hypothetical situation: someone had made some elaborate delicious meat platter and decided that they made too much and was going to throw it out if someone didnt eat it, but you were the only person there. if you're a veggie only for the animal rights theres no real reason not to eat it

    I still wouldnt eat it because meat tastes gross to me...I'd ask them to put it into a tupperwear thing and then I'd take it home to my family

    Yeah, I'd do something like that too I suppose.
    Meat is disgusting, I couldn't eat it even if I tried. :p

    (Well, of course I'd eat meat if it was the only way to avoid starving, but as long as I have a kind of a choice, I don't.)

    I wouldn't eat it. It's their own fault for making too much food in the first place.

    Same here. I've no reason or desire to eat meat.
    Having been veggie for so longer meat doesn't even seem like a food product, just dead animal. That revulstion is hard to get over, anyway I wouldn't want to.

    And yeah it's their own dumb fault for making too much and being wasteful.

    I wouldn't eat it either. It's a body and thats gross. Not to mention that it'd probably just make me barf, I don't think I could handle that kind of protein any more. I'd probably suggest that they freeze it and eat it later or try to give it to homeless people or something... eating it would be sick.

    wow waste or ethics.
    My ethics don't allow me to waste, but I don't push veg*anism on anyone.
    So, I'd take it down to Second Harvest or my local freeway beggar.
    He has some leather gloves that were given to me (I've big hands) and a wool shirt I scored at a yard sale. (I do wear silk or wool that is second hand. Can't do leather. Smells too strongly.)
    I also see a contradiction in petroleum-based "pleathers" that have an environmental impact.
    I try not to use anything first hand.

    i was working in a bar/restaurant one night when we got a bomb scare and had to shut down & close up. it happened during our rush, so there was a lot of food in the window, and it all died (hah no pun intended). we were told we could take it home, cause otherwise they'd throw it out. there was much more food than employees, so i filled up a to-go box with steak and shrimp, and brought my roomies home a feast. i stuck my veggie-pasta in a separate box. ;)

    I could not eat it because by eating it, I would be contributing to the animal's (likely painful) death. I would feel very guilty if I did.
    For the same reason, I could not give it to someone else who does not share my thoughts about being veg. I would still be a part of the death.
