[Buffy]

I am an unrepentant omnivore. 

[Road Runner]

I eat animals, but probably 85% chicken, 15% fish.  I don't eat cows or pigs, except for the rare occasion that it is essentially unavoidable.

[Square Wheels]

Not me.

[Johnny Come Lately Name]

I am a strict vagitarian.

[Randomguy]

I am no freak.

 

SQ is a vegetarian, and makes wonderful food.  It is catching up with her now, though, because of all the bruising.  

[Dirtyhip]

I would guess we have 15% vegetarian in our populous.

Not me.  I eat all the animals.

I think it is around 5%.  Knowing what I know about human nature, the claimed percentage is probably a little higher.

I worked with a guy who seriously claimed he was a vegetarian but ate fish.  He wouldn't listen to anyone who told him fish was meat.  He was an ignorant bastard, for sure.

You just like to argue with me.

I love you, Buffy.  I like you on BF as well.  My only advice is to steer away from Page Turner.  He's still the same 'alarmer' type.

I like bacon

Aren't you also the guy who likes playing dress up when you go camping?

Every time my wife and I dig into a really good steak,we say there is no way we could do the vegetarian thing.

I embrace my position on the food chain, thank you very much.

[Square Wheels]

If I had to kill my own food, I'd be a vegetarian.

Suppose that wasn't an option (not enough plants to live on)?

I'd starve.  I don't think I could kill.

I bet you would be surprised at what you could do if you were really hungry.

I don't understand why I get to live and the animal doesn't.  What makes me more valuable?  I don't think I could do it.

You are at the top of the animal food chain.  It is your responsibility to eat the animals below you.

Pussy.  Remember, you are genetically programmed to kill and feast, you would find that if you had to.

You are overthinking it, something that you probably wouldn't do if you had to feed yourself or others in a survival situation.  You get hungry enough to kill, you would.

Domestication. 

[BuffJim]

Not all animal foods require loss of life. You could subsist on Stone Crab Claws. What a yummy and humane alternative to murdering animals.

It always amazes me that some people fret over the slaughter of cattle or chickens for food.  There are a gazillion cows and chickens alive today only because we plan to eat them.  If we couldn't eat them, most of them would never be born.  Is it better to have lived and died for food or to have never been born at all?

I'm not debating that.  I agree that is what we did, but I can't be the one with the axe.

Why?  You are commissioning a killing by eating them anyway, it seems pretty straightforward either way. 

I haven't done the slaughtering because I would puke.  I realize I am behind it either way, though.

[Chris...]

So, we have one vegetarian and she's hot. What are the odds?

But, would you actually do it?  I'm fairly confident I could not.  If the world ran out of food, my days are numbered (they are anyhow).  I'd just fade away.

I'm pretty sure I could eat human flesh if I had to.

[Guest]

I could eat cow everyday. Each January we do a fast that limits us to fruits, vegtables and legumes. By the end of the three week fast I feel so much better than before it. It's probably due to cutting out all sugars, which I don't eat much of anyway but it is in everything. I also usually drop 10-12 pounds during that three weeks. Now I want a cheeseburger.....

Definitely.

[Further]

I'm pretty sure I can live on sticks and berries, after they are converted to venison.

Which I can harvest on my own.

this is a good reason to be vegetarian!  seriously.  Am I seriously the only vegetarian on this forum?  I guess I have work to do  

[Ralphie ★]

I subscribe to the theory that 2/3 of your plate should be veggies.  I agree with SW - if I had to kill my own meat, I probably would be vegetarian.

What a bunch of wussies.  My mother used to kill a couple chickens each week.  She would hang them on the clothes line by their feet and using a large knife, cut off their heads.  Much flapping and blood squirting out of the severed neck later, the fried chicken was delicious.

As a cow-worker used to say "I am from suburbia!"    He said that as he was being arrested for drinking on the street in N'awlens.

We are mostly vegetarian.  Will eat the occasional serving of crab, maybe scallops.  If you served me meat, I would eat it without a fuss because I am polite.  I just don't want to touch or prepare it at my own house.  Occasionally, I will eat bacon at the diner.  Mr Aire likes cheeseburgers but not chicken or beef.  I am not sure what he thinks they are made of.

That is where I am as well.  I will only eat what I am willing to kill.  For me, that is poultry and seafood.  I will eat beef or pork if served to me but beef and I do net get along.  It is a mutual thing.
