Vegitarian?

[Angel]

Ok, most people call me a vegitarian. The only meat I ever eat is chicken, and that's rare. I mean, I know when I'm eating the chicken I'm not a vegitarian. Someone said on another website that chicken isn't really a meat so I am a vegitarian. A little explanation? As I sit here eating my celery and carrot sandwhich, I can't help but wonder how strange my dinner really is...

[Indiana]

No, you're not a vegitarian if you eat chicken it is a meat....you just like vegitables a lot maybe?

[Angel]

No... not really. I just don't like the slaughter of animals. I'm a pacifist really... except with my friends. Then I live to fight.

[Indiana]

but you eat chicken still even though u dont like the slaughter of animals veggies dont eat meat at all because of that usualyy or for health reasons....you no veggie you just dont like the killing of animals but when it comes down to it youll still eat em :P

[Schteve]

It's not like there is a single definition of vegetarian or vegan. Often people classify poultry and seafood as seperate from red meat and the like. Draw your dietary lines where you want and go with whatever name you think suits it best.

[Mankind.]

I wouldn't say that your a veggie. I think that if you eat meat in any form you are not a veggie (that is unless your wasted). What some people class as a veggie is different from others so i'd say that you should decide on whether you think your one or not. Oh and with the sandwhwich :ew:

It's perfectly fine to like Carrots and Celery on a sandwhich. :-\ But anyways, thanks Schteve. I thought it depends on if you think poultry is a meat or not. I personally don't, but some of my friends do. That's why I was asking.

I thought muscle and meat were synonymous...

Personally, I think the people who say "I'm a vegetarian but eat chicken" deserve a slap. My defenition of 'vegetarian' is someone who doesn't eat anything that was once alive. I do agree with what Schteve said, though. Limit your diet to whatever you like and call it whatever you want, but chicken-eating vegetarians still make me cringe.

Note: Victoria isn't a vegetarian and eats everything she can get her hands on.

[Schteve]

That's an understatement, Victoria. :tease:

*insert my usual insult you'd find in CV here*



Anyway, people are vegetarians for different reasons. Those who eat poultry or fish probably aren't doing it for animal rights.

there is a flaw in your reasoning Victoria. just because plants can't scream out, does not mean that they are not alive, plants are living breathing organisms just as complex as humans and animals. I rather find it annoying when vegitarians say they eat only plants because they don't want to eat anything that has been killed, when the plants they eat were alive before they were harvested.

Haha. :D

And yes, I know. It's the usage of the word that ticks me off, not the people and what they eat. Well, in most cases.

"And the angel of the lord came unto me, snatching me up from my place of slumber. And took me on high, and higher still until we moved to the spaces betwixt the air itself. And he brought me into a vast farmlands of our own midwest. And as we descended, cries of impending doom rose from the soil. One thousand, nay, a million voices full of fear. And terror possesed me then. And I begged, "Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots! You see, Reverend Maynard, tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust." And I sprang from my slumber drenched in sweat like the tears of one million terrified brothers and roared, "Hear me now, I have seen the light! They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers!"

Some plants are designed to be eaten so that, when the animal has a poop, the seeds that were in the plant start to grow from the nutrients in the poop.

[Mankind.]

Yeah people that they will eat anything that isn't do with something living is talking throught thier ass. Though there are people that believe food can be eaten such as vegetable that have fallen out of trees or come out of the ground on thier own. If they pick it or pull it up they are murdering the veg or fruit. It treu in a way but they sound like real asses. No offence to anyone who does believe that though. And feffers that post made me lo.

[Dragon_Knight X]

I'm almost tempted to quote that in my signature Victora XD that's actually funny. The point I'm saying is that vegitarians that go around claiming to live a "death free life" are just moronic and in denial. plants are very much alive, and studies have prooved that they may be in some minor levels sentient. plants respond to certain types of stimulae, such as different types of music. try putting four plants of the same time in three different rooms, two in one room. make sure they both have equal sunlight and are both watered regularly. Now, set the two alone in seperate rooms close to a sterio or radio. have one play soft music, have the other play hard music. the results of this experiment are rather interesting. the one in the room with the hard music will with time begin to wilt no matter how much you take care of it. the one with the soft music will stay healthy. the two together in another room will grow towards eachother. Interesting huh? The point is, there's really no suh thing as a death free life. You'd have to only eat vitamine suppluments for your entire life, as well as never kill so much as an ant when you walk to ensure you never live a death free life... so... is a death free life possible? I don't think so. Now, I've gone off on a tangent >.< I don't think a vegitarian that eats chicken is a vegetarian. meat is classified as the muscle of any animal... chickens are animals, they are certainly not plants.

[Schteve]

...What is wrong with you people? Do you want them to eat plastic or something? Sentience matters.

Furthermore, many don't mind the inherent act of killing animals. Rather, they hate the way animals who are bred soley for food are treated and slaughtered. Sticking a cow in a box and feeding it only stuff designed to make the cow yummier is nothing like accidently stepping on a weed.

That's why I don't like eating cow or pig. Chicken is the only meat in the Poultry group I eat, and it's because I am forced to eat it at my house every now and then when I get weak. I went to a farm when I was like 7 years old and saw the way they treated the cows disgusted me.

[Schteve]

:( But pigs are so tasty.

In that same sense, I believe that some animals were designed by mother nature simply as walking meat factories for carnivores. Take a long good look at a cow and tell me it's not just waiting to get eaten.

And uh, how is it even possible to not consider chicken meat? You chop its head off, pluck it, skin it, clean it, then eat the chicken's formerly living muscle tissue right off the bone. Some chickens are even altered to get really really fat, and they end up being unable to walk for their entire lives.

Note: I'm not supporting vegetarians. I love meat. :D

[mark HRR]

Creeper's got a good point. I mean an animal which is black and white, where does it chose to stand?? In a green field! I don't think it's wrong to kill an animal for it's meat, it's just nature after all.

[Typhon]

I've seen Earth as little more than a revolving buffet with weather...

True but that cow could be providing more and more pints of milk instead of just a couple of meals.

But pigs are so tasty.
Bacon rules. Thats all i have to say on this one.

Yeah lifes like a food chain and we're at the top of it and we are animals really. We have just contributed more to the world because our brians are more developed. A few million years ago we were just as pointless as most of thge animals. But we evolved and became what we are now.

[Schteve]

No. First of all, only the female ones give milk, and even those they have to constantly get pregnant since they can't go forever before they dry up. And then you have a bunch of excess cows being born you don't need, which of course get chopped up for more food.

[Angel]

Aka veal. I find what they do to those calves disgusting.

Well its possible that you may be a vegitarian, I have a few friends at school that are vegitarians, and only eat some chicken, most of the time they'll eat chicken is on salads.

Plus, if thats the only meat that you eat and rarely eat it, that means you don't have much of an appetite for meat, yet alone the kind you like which is chicken.
