I don't like eating animals :)

I love being a vegetarian, to be honest. It's one of the first big independent choices I made in my life, and I am proud of it.
There are so many good reasons to be a vegetarian.
Personally, I just hate the idea of eating an animal. And for me, that includes fish.
I never really understood why fish would not logically be classified as meat, though. They are living animals with a face.. to me, that means that if you kill it and eat it, it's meat.
This post doesn't have a point, really.. just thought I'd share this.
Peace eace:

 

Scientists from the University of Michigan have discovered a nerve system in plants; in a peer-reviewed botany journal Bill Williams of the Helvetica Institute was quoted as saying, "plants not only seem to be aware and to feel pain, they can even communicate."

I don't mean to knock your lifestyle choice at all; in fact, I think you should be proud for doing what you feel is right. Just don't forget that all life is life, we are all in the cycle; and no matter what you choose to eat -- or what others choose to eat -- all forms of life deserve respect.

 

Really? That;s some crazy ass shit! But I believe it!!
My mom always ranted about something called "cries of the carrots"
I guess she was right!
That's really interesting, dude

 

It makes me feel bad that I like to pick leaves off of bushes and trees, but it's a hard habit to break!

 

:O I would sometimes do the same thing! I agree, it's kind of hard to stop.
What about if we walk on grass?

 

So when people say plants have feelings to i cant say otherwise,
well, that kinda sucks.
But nonetheless, is really interesting man.

 

I know. If there was a way for me to survive without eating anything that had lived, I would do it. But there isn't a way for that, haha. So vegetarianism suits me just perfectly.

 

And here I just feel bad that I can't afford free range meat =P

 

You're insightful. You're my favorite omnivore of the day.

 

I only eat synthetic food, personally. Eating life is wrong, no matter what it is.

 

Seriously?? Like what?


I wanted to be a vegetarian once because of the animal rights stuff, but I honestly just can't. Or I'm just not ready. I love meat so much.

i read somewhere that grass was meant to be walked on, as well as cropped [mowed by animals], some sort of evolutionary trick aiding in propogation or whatever

[wish my brain was awake]

 

where does one draw the line between alive and not-alive?

proteins can self-replicate, are they alive?

i'm eating nothing but rocks

[no crystals either!]

all joking aside, there are days when i wish breatharianism worked . . .

 

Proteins can self-replicate? How?

 

my bad, oversimplification, they help nucleic acids replicate, it all gets so confusing for the layman

still, what's alive mean?

as regards the op, i can pull weeds, but find killing flies an impossibility

so i eat where i'm comfortable - plants, fungi and yeast, bacteria, etc.

and incidentals - rice cultivation is said to be bloody work for the aquatic life in the paddies . . .

 

We all knew nature was cruel but it's wrong now as well? If eating life is wrong, nature is wrong.

 

mankind transcends nature

[does or can]

 

How does mankind transcend nature? I'm a part of nature, but I also eat meat.
