aigh, but if its me or them, then its me.

I did that for about 9 years.

Now I'm on Atkins.

Moderation is for suckers!

I'm a card carrying member of PETA -- The People for Eating Tasty Animals. I figure if the gods hadn't meant me to eat animals, they wouldn't have made them so damned tasty.

Our bodies were designed by nature over millenia. Our ancestors gnawed on bison bones and ate berries. I figure that evolution and nature know what they were about. My body needs meat and veggies. Who am I to stand up against nature and say "bite me"? Or something to that effect.

My friends that are veggies or vegans know that I respect their beliefs and when they come to visit, their plates (and mine) won't be bearing anything that ever had a face.

i dont disagree, i was just wondering if there were other vegans on the board, .. thats all

how come when i mention im vegan (or even mention veganism), people have to explain their ethical reasonings as to why they are not? I dont mind people who arent vegan, vegetarian or anyhting of the like, it doesnt bother me, i do it for my own personal beliefs and try not to force those beliefs onto others. I believe in respecting everyone and there decisions (inless it hurts others of course).

Not vegan, but what is clumsily called an "ovo-lacto vegetarian" ... though fairly light on the ovo and the lacto. Just can't pledge to a life without ice cream and proper pizza ...

I don't mind what anyone eats ... I hear humans taste like chicken ... mmm, chicken ...

But lest we get into evolutionary arguments brought up above, I'll take my dull, tiny canine teeth, my digestive system that handles meat so poorly, and my really poor adaptation to (unarmed) hunting, and go heat up a soyburger...

Lastly, I'm reminded of the Simpsons ep that guest-starred famed nature boy Ed Begley Jr. .. close paraphrase:

Lisa: I'm a vegetarian, too, Mr. Begley!

EBjr, contemptuously: I'm a fifth-level vegan ... I don't eat anything that casts a shadow.

"Bang."

Veganism is SOOOO '90s!

It's all about Rawfood-ism now, get with the times!

Actually, humans are more likely to taste like beef or bear, depending on their diet. Vegans and vegetarians are more likely to taste like beef. Omnivores and those who tend to eat more meat than veggies or even cannibals are more likely to taste like bear meat, I would think.

That aside (and back to the topic at hand), can't go as far as to say I'm a vegan, or even a veggie head. Let's put it this way: If I switch the amount of meat and veggies that I eat, I could be pretty close to a vegitarian.

You folks want to eat nothing but veggies, fine with me. Leaves more steak and pork chops for me.

If God didn't intend for man to eat cows and pigs, he wouldn't have made them out of meat.

I'm a vegetarian.

And the thing about God is that if you believe in the Bible, it's pretty obvious Adam and Eve were veggies, actually vegans. The actual animal killing didn't seem to come into being until after Noah's ark...you know, just saying.
