See what we started.Yeah I might start shitting in my house too while we're at it !
My food shiittssss all over theirsAin't Vegans cashed up because they don't buy meat??
Are we starting this one up again Gunslinger?My food shiittssss all over theirs
I didn't 'like' your post because I like what you said or because you agree with me, but because I know it to be true.
It's unfortunate that humans have been conditioned to do many things they simply wouldn't do in the normal course of things.............so many things...............but the funniest part...........well, not really funny...........is that we then justify them just because it's what we're used to.
The day will come (should come, all things being equal) where the notion of eating another's flesh (yes, even those dirty, undeserving animals) will be abhorrent and uncivilized. It's.......................natural.
As a good European if it moves we eat it and if it doesn't move we prod it until it moves then eat it. My forefathers were fishermen farmers winemakers and soldiers. We reaped what we sowedAre we starting this one up again Gunslinger?
I can't tell from your post if you are Pro Meat or No Meat?
I've put this video up elsewhere but the key points are worthy of discussion.
Let me know if one cares to view or if one doesn't, then why not? We humans tend to shun certain facts because they're likely to get in the way of our everyday lives. Change is difficult and we have enough responsibilities on our plate already. It's unfortunate.
Some people also find it amusing using lines like "If animals didn't want to be eaten, they shouldn't taste so good"
That may be funny to them but their certainly not the type of people I care to know. Either they can't think or choose not to think, which is even worse.
'Enjoy' the video.
That's fair enough I know many people that don't eat different types of meat due to main different reasons but in the speech you posted he makes some great points on the herbivore v carnivore digestive systems which I had never thought about or been explained to before which opens up Pandora's box really. I suppose the only thing I keep thinking is if Vegans don't eat or use any animal based products at all, What would cows actually be used for?? Fair enough don't kill, eat or milk them but what would there be good for?I'm a hypocrite as I had announced early through this discussion.
I haven't eaten red meat nor white meat (chicken etc) for some years now although I do eat seafood.
I choose to live under the mantra, "If I can't kill it, then I shouldn't eat it" which is in itself, a convenient motif to camouflage my hypocrisy.
We know why we eat what we do and it's largely because we've been trained to do so.
You'll see these patterns through various cultures who pick and choose as to what is right and what is wrong and the servants follow suit, because of religion, tradition or just purely habit etc.
We won't change our ways for a long time yet but I can see us doing so and to the point we'll be viewed as being a long-gone barbarian culture.
A culture that feasts on its own earthly inhabitants.
Try this: On Australia Day just watch people eating meat...................I mean really watch them and there may come a point where some realities kick in and your stomach starts to turn............well, it did for me at least.
Chalky, I have a friend who is a vegetarian and doesn't consume anything that 'has had a face' (her words) but isn't vegan...she may still head that way but hasn't gotten there yet. She has 3 children and isn't raising them as vegetarian and I did question her on this. She told me that she consulted a dietitian and a nutritionist (note that there are no regulations on nutritionists in Australia but dietitians are registered etc) and she was advised by both that her children needed meat at a young age for their brain development.Harks, surely you know the lines about the tasty animals is suppose to be in humor (and just looking for a cheap laugh) like 70-80% of the posts on BF that's why I & many others like logging in as much as we do.
Now for your video it is a huge eye opener and he brings up some massive issues/topics which most of us don't or don't wanna think about because we have been slowly brainwashed in our way of thinking since kids. I honestly haven't stopped thinking about the good points he brings up and have since spoken to my Mrs about it, as I have 2 kids under 3 yo and only want the best for them and what is gonna help me be around as long as possible for them. So the challenge is how far do you go? Are you now a vegan after watching this speech or have you just cut right back on what you eat??
That's fair enough I know many people that don't eat different types of meat due to main different reasons but in the speech you posted he makes some great points on the herbivore v carnivore digestive systems which I had never thought about or been explained to before which opens up Pandora's box really.

I guess like most moral issues they can be changed over time, but this would be the largest change in the past 500-1000 years or so and may take another 500-1000 years. Time will only tell I suppose, but if the big "C" is 100% linked to the eating of meat it will speed up the change for sure.The physiological debate is one that may often go back to humans being omnivores and often for reasons of self-interest.
It's just not the debate I care so much about as to the moral debate.
How about this: Maybe the people that love their lamb so much should go and buy one. Put it into the backyard for a few days, put a knife to it when you're ready and make sure the barbie is fired up. We wouldn't do that..............we're not animals
That's for someone else to do whilst we suck on those juicy bones after we gorged on all the flesh and washed it down with a cold VB.
We can't help where we are but we can at least be honest and not pretend what we know to be wrong to be....................ever so right.
My freezer is full of our own beef and lamb, or rather hoggett from a mate down the road...they live well, die well, and very little goes to waste.
Also have an annual salami day.
Respect and awareness are important to me, as is the culture and custom of food preparation and appreciation.
Oddly...I don't enjoy VB.
I don't feel the need to judge others dietary decisions anymore than their religious leanings.
