Or so say PETA :rolleyes: Source
Do these people have any kind of idea what child abuse actually is?

The tactics of PETA really harm their cause, decent people feel nothing but repulsion for them. And nothing makes me want a steak or a kebab more than hearing PETA whine.
It doesnt make me angry though.
I think that is an insult to people who have REALLY experienced child abuse.
Of course not, and this only serves to trivialise a serious matter.
But PETA are a fucknig stupid waste of space TBH. Let's burn thier HQ to the ground and throw burgers at them.
If someone believes that something is unnaceptably unhealthy, then they may well think that people shouldnt give it to their kids, but to make a public campaign about it, is OTT, although as everyone on here always says, its freedom of speech, and its good to bring up debate.
Cars release emissions that are damaging, does buying cars equate child abuse? Silly fucks.
though over feeding your kids i think can be seen as some form of abuse.
But they do need a certain amount of fat in their diet...
It's eating too much of something which is unhealthy and it can apply to many things, not just meat and fat.
As with many foods meat and fat is are perfectly healthy in in moderation.
I just dont agree with PETA's way of doing things. They seem to think that if they bully and use (incorrect) shock tactics they will get there point across. TBH they just wind me up and annoy me.
come on, everything in the wrong amounts is unhealthy, and meat contains essential protein. You can't impose a personal opinion like that without a factual foundation... e.g. calling it child abuse. Vegitarianism is an opinion, and there's nothing physically wrong with eating meat (i won't enter the ethical zone)
edit: correction
A heathy diet is one thing, but can you define what "healthy food" is?
BTW People who eat a healthy diet die every day.

:yes: :yes: :yes:
They should feed PETA to the lions, lets see how far their vegetarian animal-loving get them there.
I disagree. If I had children I would raise them on a balanced vegetarian diet until they were old enough to decide whether they wanted to eat meat or not. Then when they were a bit older I would show them videos of a slaughter house and explain the environmental impact of eating meat, but also the plus points. It isn't child abuse, it is just making sure they are aware of where their food comes from (and for the record they'd know where wheat and veg comes from too).
People eat meat because it tastes good, it is as hedonistic as maturbation or drinking beer... If people want to eat meat, let them. But it is not an issue of 'child abuse' if the kid is given a healthy diet (eg, far more fruit, veg, pulses, wheat ect than meat on a plate) with a small amount of meat or products derived from animal slaughter in them... Unless of course the kid wants to be vegetarian and has pork forced down their throat.
It's not such an issue with veggie diets but I still believe small children should be brought up on the healthiest and most complete diet possible, and let them choose at a later date whether they want to go veggie.
