Behold My Return
Aloone_Jonez:
Welcome back X11!
About the whole vegetarian thing, I respect your decision not to eat meat but I suppose we're all animals and lot's of animals eat other animals so I don't have a problem with eating meat. I eat fish because it's healthy and I mostly eat farmed salmon and mussels.
And as far as all the cruelty to animals goes it depends on how you kill the animal and what level of life they are. Mussels, don't have brains, so it's not cruel to cook them alive, and if you shoot a cow in the head when it's not expecting it, it's dead before it even knows it.
Laukev7:
I have mixed feelings about vegetarianism. On one hand, animals eat animals, so I don't know if we have any moral obligation towards other species. On the other hand, well, animals are killed cruelly, in appalling conditions, and they waste a lot of ressources (deforestation of the Amazonian forest, for example).
Besides, too much meat isn't healthy. And whether meat tastes good depends on one's definition of 'meat'. If you're going to eat McDo hamburgers that hardly taste anything without a shitload of condiments, might as well fry a slab of tofu in a bucked of sunflower oil.
bedouin:
Some of my friends were talking last night about how it's not so much meat that's bad, it's the way they're slaughtered in so-called civilized nations. For example, if you have a bunch of chickens going down a conveyor belt getting their heads cut off, they're going to sense fear, and start releasing hormones and all kinds of stuff into their bloodstream, which you, in turn eat.
And that might explain why we have so many mental illnesses nowadays. I'm not a vegetarian, and never will be, but I think a quick read of Fast Food Nation will at least make you more reluctant to stop at McDonalds when hungry.
Laukev7:
I never go to McDonalds. I hate junk food.
The only place where I eat hamburgers is at Dic & Anns (which are awesome), and I have no idea about their market, if any, outside of QC.
Kintaro:
I dont eat an McDonalds or KFC, KFC are cruel fucks with their chickens, actually I cant afford to eat fastfood at the moment so its the least of my worries.
