America is apalling!

So this is my first day in the country (first time outside india) and Im just shocked at how much non vegetarianism is always in my face! In India its quite unobtrusive, I of course expected this to some extent, but not this bad!!

 

yeah but the honey's is fly right. :H

Respec'.

 

An disneyland and McDonalds are secretly run by our evil monkey overlords.

 

Are they evil ninja monkeys? Because I think those ninja monkeys are gaining power. They put a penguin in my trunk...

 

Welcome to America my friend.. home of the fat asses and meat eating gluttons! It is the fattest nation you've ever seen isn't it? I agree... it's pretty vile the amount of animal products Americans consume and try to force on us non-animal consuming inhabitants. But don't worry... there are plenty of us who do not partake of this particular part of our society. Try to have fun while you're here.

 

Ugh...see...this is why I'm always telling my friend in India that America is not as great as some have made it out to be in the past. He was shocked when I described certain things about the US, expecially the eating habits of most.

And yeah...not easy to be a vegetarian here. My family lectures me all the time and tries to get me to eat meat. Going to the grocery store is disgusting because of all the meat displayed out in those glass cases like its jewelry or something. So gross. Billboards with huge pictures of meat. Commercials and ads showing meat. Ugh...America is gross. :$

 

You people are idiots.

 

Baskar welcome to America your going to school here right? where again?

 

And you don't look like the healthiest person on the planet. Yeah...keep on gorging yourself on meat. Have fun.

 

I will.

I actually have nothing against vegetarianism, just the people who say stupid shit about people who eat meat.

The reason I called you people idiots isn't because you're vegetarian, so understand that.

I can think of many reasons why America is appalling, but not because people eat meat, as they do in most every other country.

Anyway, whateva.

 

Wayever dare Americhano duh Squeezed Rodent, stupid iz az dumb duz.
What do U know about dis voild? All U know iz what ur told on TB. Please,
my Drooly freind, do az I say and let me take over your mind in dis matter.
Itz a matter of time when your eyez will see Your horrible un-HIPocrocity.

mean while just grove up and out wit ur hair

 

a lot of americans have the screwed up notion that meat consumption is a patriotic right and duty.

 

Although we (as vegos) may find rows upon rows of carcasses displayed in the supermarket like they magically appeared with no pain or suffering a little off putting, and even though we happen to dislike the fact that meat eating is such a normalized thing in Western culture, so normalized in fact that it is shoved in your face wherever you go, I don't think this makes us idiots.


You seem to have intelligent, informed opinions about why meat eating is unappalling, so why not share them and have a reasonable argument instead of jumping straight to unjustified insults?

 

Why did you come here? Living the "free" life comes with a price, you have to live with ignorant people, be forced to choke down thousands of ads, and be forced to "fit in."

 

i've never forced meat on anyone. in fact, when i have my vegan friends over for dinner, i make a point of making vegan fare. in fact, i've never ever once seen anyone force a piece of meat onto anyone.


and i'm surrounded on all sides by skinny carnivores. it's the sheer amount of OTHER garbage people are eating that's making them fat here, as well as the absurdly huge portions they eat, combined with a sedentary lifestyle.

yeah, I'm a Vegan and i understand what you're saying. The reason I look at America's Diet as the worst, among other countries who consume just as much meat, is that in most other countries, veggies and fruits, etc. are looked at just as much as food as meat, but in America, people have the mindset that with no meat, it's not a meal. I have seen people remove the tomato and lettuce from their whoppers, and get a chicken salad, eat the chicken and throw away the Vegetables. We live in a country where, at restaraunts, they use lettuce and tomato on a plate for show, and you don't actually eat it, its just supposed to make the meat meal look more attractive. People in Africa can't even eat an adaquete amount of food for one day, while people in America eat 3-4 days worth of food in one family outing. That is how i feel about the situation here in America.

Peace and Love,
Dan

 

where on earth do you get a silly idea like that from?

 

there is some silly belief among some veggies that if you eat meat you cant be healthy....

 

Meat consumpotion is horrible for the environment. America out-consumes everyone. Meat eating is a major contributor. 260,000,000 acres of U.S. forest have been cleared for crops for a meat rich diet. 1 acre of land per year is spared for everyone who eats a vegetarian diet.
Stop being so selfish. We need to learn how to live sustainably. If you consume more than your share, you should be ashamed.
