animals eat other animals to survive. Humans are animals. We should be able to eat other animals. Simple as that. I mean, A tiger or lion would eat us in a second if they had the chance

Hmm. Fresh fruit is good yes. But steak as well.

Vegetarians? Their choice.

But like someone mentioned in this topic: Humans are omnivores. Just meat = not good. Only lettuce = not good.

Also, what I find strange is that most people who eat meat don't really have a problem with vegetarians. You only want salad? No problem. Whereas most vegetarians condemn their fellow meat eating humans. Why is that? Do they think they are better? Smarter?

Fact is that that there are some proteins/amino acids/vitamins present in meat that are not present in any vegetable (or only in very small amounts). For real vegetarians, a well belanced diet is required. Because you need these proteins, since you're body can't make or recombine them from stuff present in vegetables. True herbivores do that for us. And then we eat them. We're much obliged.

you've basically summed it up there.
we cannot get around chemistry, you need complex proteins to maintain your health, just as you need the carbohydrates in vegetables and fruits.

Not really true. Most vegitarians I know complain that they are forever having to defend their choice. Most wont volunteer that they are veggies just because they dont want meat eaters telling them how wrong they are. Unfortunately for most vegitarians, its the animal rights activists and the people like the one that smacked a burger out of butters hand that give the vast majority a bad name.

So, eat whatever you want, I dont care, but respect my choice and I will respect yours.

The girls wants to grow hair? Gross, but whatever. No socks in a restaurant by an employee? Against FL health codes I think. Gross.[/u]

I think we can classify all those weird hippies under one banner: PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)

Seriously, these guys have extreme views. They took this guy dressed as a cow to a Scottish Primary School to tell they how evil it is to drink milk because it "hurts" cows. The PETA people were pelted by Scottish kids hurling cartons of milk at them. Police had to be called in to break it up.

PETA is full of stupid hippies.

If they do, its only because of a situation that man created.

But, PETA still sucks.

And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. Acts 10:13

Indeed, this is the case. As usual, it's a small group within a certain grouping that gives rise to prejudice in another, sometimes opposing, group. And as most people, I'm not totally insensitive, and some form of prejudice developes.

But still, in my personal experience, lots of vegetarians are slightly derogatory towards the non-vergetarians. As if they are ahead in evolution or something; 'we don't need meat any longer, we have moved on'. I suppose vegetarians could say something similar about the 'carnivore society'.

This kind of behaviour is inherent to minorities. A minority always tends to create a distinct profile for itself, often to some extreme. Exploiting that profile, resulting in an annoyance for the majority, gives rise to prejudice. And, as usual, it all comes down to this: Extremes are never good.

I respect people who don't eat meat, it's their choice.

I pity them as well. Meat is good, biggrin:

"You will eat the meat folks, because this country was founded on two things. Meat, and war. You eat enough fucking meat, you wanna kill somebody. That's the way it works.

Eggplant tastes like eggplant, but meat tastes like murder and murder tastes pretty goddamn good." -- Denis Leary
