Oh god. Thats so true. I can't eat peppers, they upset my stomach. That causes all sorts of problems :grump:
because you don't NEED to? that's a bit of an odd reason, imo. we do lots of things in life that we don't need to do.
I also find it a generally healthier lifestyle.
I'd never order veggie food at a restaurant though, even though I often have meals without meat at home. Maybe they should put more effort into it. Come to think of it, I've never seen any mention of quorn or tofu on restaurant menus. It's always a boring pasta dish. :chin:
Not all restaurants are bad for veggies though, I went to Yates' the other day and they had lots of veggie meals that looked really good and they were included in the same deals as the meals that included meat. The vegetarian chilli was really good
*toddles off to find meat*
anyway, after that little rant i would like to say i don't have a problem with people eating free range meat, and like somebody pointed out all the cows and chickens would die out if we didn't keep them for food. i just disagree with cruelty to animals so humans can have more more more. its disrespectful and extremely greedy
No it's not. We've been doing it since the beginning of mankind. I don't care what a chicken went through before it got to my plate. We're number one, they aren't. Tough luck chickens.
chances are a tesco value chicken was treated the same as a normal tesco brand chicken.
the cruelty will still happen whether or not you chose to eat it, someone else will just eat the chicken and the same number of chickens will be killed.
Why exactly though? Like Turlough says we've been doing since the beginning of mankind.
Same here
a lot of meat eaters admit that the way animals are reared and killed is cruel. they just care about stuffing their face more
You obviously didn't read my post then...
well you said thats its cruel, but don't you still eat non-free range meat? so the cruelty doesn't bother you then
Yes the cruelty does bother me
kill it
prepare it
and cook it
yourself...
otherwise you're just a hypocrite. ~ why pay a middle man to do it for you.
the truth is if people had to do that for themselves (and a lot of people wouldn't be able to manage it or even know where to start) then a lot of people would adopt a vegetarian lifestyle. same as if you saw the inside of slaughter houses or the conditions in factory farms - you would think twice about eating meat.
so why do you eat non free-range meat if the cruelty bothers you! it obviously doesn't bother you enough to buy free range even if that means you can only afford a little bit less meat!
lucifer...i'm cleverer than a cow. i can think about what i'm doing and try and change things that i believe are wrong.
Totally agreed here.
give a chicken an extra 2 inches sq. to move around, and call it "free-range"
the animal will still get killed in the same way. why does it matter whether they were allowed to roam around in a few more acres of land before it died?
