I am a vegetarian myself and I came across a site who is blogging that promoting vegetarianism is tantamounting to killing cultures who eat meat. What can you say about this?
Trying to rid the world of Hitler was tantamount to killing a culture that supported him...? Anyway, begone
wtf does hitler have to do with this? and we all know all bloggers are always right. care to share the conclusions the blogger had? I do see how cultures are food based, in sustenance and as a means or sharing who you are over a feast.
I was trying to point out the fact that basically the OP was suggesting that killing a culture is always something horrific, even if that culture itself was horrible or murderous. Dont worry, put the defenses away, im not an extremist, i was making a valid point
It was infact in response to the OP, and was for everyone to read, not just one person...so the fact that YOU didnt like my words or understand their meaning for me doesnt really make me feel ive FAILED
If im destorying a meat eating culture by not eating pot roast more power to me... Why do we bomb countrys if all it takes is not eating turkey to bring them down? Love, Gin
Considering today's relative amount of vegetarians in the world..... it would probably take them a good million years to even "destroy" the smallest meat eating culture.
here is the blog. http://baguiogirl.crayondrops.com/archives/2007/06/17/promoting-vegetarianism-can-kill-cultures/ Seems One Post sharmaine is unhappy with the responses (and note that the responds to the blogger in a shared Filipino dialect that the rest don't seem to know). She also is a new register at Veggieboards with this same topic.
Bitches.... take away my meat, and I'll beat y'all over the head with a rotting animal carcass and drown you in a bucket of A1 sauce!!!! But while you're at it, pass the veggie burgers - they're yummy....
I suppose it is possible for Vegetarianism to bring down a culture, if for example one member of a culture that based it's life around meat turned vegetarian, and a friend of said person became vegetarian, and a friend of that person... But it's their right to become Vegetarian, so, the point that it could theoretically bring down a culture, doesn't really matter.
cultures change and evolve. For an AR group to go into a Massai village and try to change their eating, yea, that'd damage the culture, but Indian /Hindu culture started off eating flesh, even beef, according to Aryuvedic texts, but developed the concept of food purity and spiritual purity being connected (OK, yeah, that created caste systems which became oppressive as classism). No outside influence created a veg Hindu culture. that was natural evolution based on changing mores internally.
