Are you a vegetarian?

[NudeDiver]

True. But at that time I would probably be trying to espouse some of the more positive aspects of vegetarianism

Probably not for very long

Tonight's dinner: creamy pasta with chicken and zucchini, and hot rolls with butter. UUUUUUUMMM.

Actually - I think the amount of bread, butter and potatoes I eat is a lot more "unhealthy" than the meat

of course you can build good karma by not harrassing the omnivors....

I prefer to think of it as "tenderizing"...

Judging from the majority of carnivorous posts though I'd say all is in good fun and definately tongue in cheek. I certainly don't intend to take a bite out of anyone for their personal eating habits.

Why not? I've been told I'm delicious - so vegetarians can just eat me

Kidding people, kidding.

No, but I eat vegetarians... They're delicious!!

Vegetables are not food; vegetables are what food eats.

My ancestors worked far too hard evolving us to the top of the food chain; I will not disrespect their sacrifices. Our eyes are in the front of our head so we may gauge the distance to pounce. There is no guile, and hence, no intelligence, needed to sneak up on a carrot.

I'd love to know how our ancestors worked hard to evolve our species? After all the actions of any one individual would do nothing to our evolution except through the passing of traits to the next generation, which is pretty easy to do.

Once our drugs and medicines start altering our genetic makeup - then we'll be working to evolve our species.

Although we have managed to make ourselves progressively taller (on average).

I feel the almost irresistable urge to stand up and salute

Survival is hard work. If you don't think so, have someone drop you off in the high arctic, 500 miles from the nearest human, with nothing but basic clothes, some shoes, and a pointy rock and tell them to come back and pick you up in two weeks.

I don't get the Donner party reference.

O.K., I'll admit. I wasn't sure how to vote in this poll. Maybe I'm an idiot. (Please no need to reply to THAT!) It seems to me that it would have been easier to simply have the choices:
I am vegan (no, I mean NO animal products)
I am a vegetarian but will eat eggs, cheese, milk.
I eat fish, no meat.
I eat meat, no fish.
I eat Kosher.
Oh man, if it jumps, crawls, or swims, and I like the taste, bring it on!

Or something like that.

When I read this, I was wondering, "How do I answer?" The' I believe I should put animal guts on my paint brush palette'." Didn't fit. I thought that it was some kind of religious cult that only ate and painted with liver!

I prefer the MEAT of an animal not its guts! That is how I read, "What's IN an animal."

I don't spear fish, not because I'm against it, just don't want to hassle with it! Now, if YOU want to spear one of those puppies (O.K. maybe wrong word there) and fight your way back to the boat through shark-infested waters, bring it on board, gut and skin it, and hand me the fillets, I'll even help you grill it! AND I'll be more than happy to sink my long, pointed, carnivorous canines into the flesh!

Now, I do eat vegetables. (I hate the word "veggies". Sounds so sissified!) Nothing like gouging out potato eyes and throwing them screaming into the frying pan, or hunting down the elusive carrot and taking them down with one shot of a 1785 grain spade.

But, hey, you eat what you want, I'll eat what I want! If you don't want those med-rare filet mignons or those elk medallions, pass them over here! Jesus invited his disciples to a Passover feast where lamb was on the menu and later served fish to them saying, "Come and dine!"

Now I understand that catfish and hushpuppies are off of the menu for you Kosher fellas (no scales), but I am a Baptist! Yee-haw, bring it on!
