Topic: What's wrong with eating meat? - page 11. (Read 30292 times)

You do know that a lot of medications contain animal products too right? And a lot of soaps have animal fats in them.

Most soft pills have animal gelatin in them.

Even some baked goods have L-cysteine from Chinese people's hair

I'd just like to point out that I was making reference to the health benefits of meat which you had been dismissing.  You're grasping at straws when you shift from talking about health benefits to the morality of eating it, even though the point itself is related to the thread topic.

I'd also like to point out that what the Dalai Lama probably isn't saying (though it's somewhat implied) is that the fact that he both encourages those people to avoid eating meat but eats meat himself suggests that, if forced to choose between your own survival and the survival of an animal that could be eaten to prolong your own life, then it's okay to eat it.  In other words, what he isn't saying is that fighting for your own survival is of greater importance than sacrificing your own life.  Also, he's speaking more to the attitudes of most meat-eaters as being a larger problem than actually eating meat.

Then go ask someone in India and while you're at it, ask them why they throw bodies into the Ganges and then drink the water.

My $.02.

Because they mostly shown Indian with long life. I want to know how many Indian in India that are vegan.

Uh, pardon me but who knows and who cares?

My $.02.

What is the percentage of India that are vegan?

Well, they can't.

My $.02.

I would like to know how they can eat their pudding if they don't eat their meat?

I dunno dude, you have to decide for yourself. I suggest watching some videos though that will expand your knowledge and get the viewpoint on both sides. Then you can decide which is better. Better yet I would actually recommend reading some books about the subject written by doctors.

See you live in a society where people don't want you to be healthy. They want you to eat the fats, the junk, they want you to be unhealthy so they can prescribe you medicine. You know one of the main reasons for not eating meat anymore is to stop taking drugs? No more supplements, no drugs, just a natural lifestyle. Healthy for your entire life. You know what drugs are made out of anyway right? They are made up of ground up vegetables and fruits. Grounded up vegetables and fruits, put into a pill, oh for some reason you're healthy now. Yet these pills costs a lot of money depending on the condition that you have. Why take the pills when you can get all the nutrients you need from diet?

Here are some quotes by real vegans not taking pills:

"I have an adverse reaction to many medications. In fact, the reason I became vegan is because I got disabled while in the US Marine Corps and there's no cure...just sedatives and pain killers, and I can't live like that. I read veganism could help manage my condition, and it does."

"Since I have become Vegan I have noticed that I no longer need medications such as for Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, or High Cholesterol. I do not like the side effects of medications so I only take them as a last resort. I always try to find a natural cure for any ailments prior to taking medications."

"All the vegans I know, near my age (68), don't have to take any meds of anykind, while just about all the meat eaters I know have to take a handful of pills to stay alive... "

If you want to see some longetivity...



Fauja Singh - 101 year old vegetarian still running marathons. Most people can't even run 10 miles. This guy is running 26 no problem.



Marie-Louise-Meilleur - 117 year old vegetarian. The oldest person in the world before she died.



Christian Mortensen - 115 year old male at time of death. First male CONFIRMED to reach 115, oldest man to ever to die at one point.



Long Name - 122 year old vegetarian. Unconfirmed if that was his true age and his true diet. He died around 1910s so he could have been lying.

There are some others of course, these just came up in a random Google search, like I said watch some videos, educate your mind, then decide. Don't let society brainwash you.

Yeppers, I sure am!

My $.02.

I started to watch this video
("Also no one will be able to watch this to the end either:"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30gEiweaAVQ&feature=youtu.be&t=47s )
and I bookmarked it for later, thanks.

I'm still here mate, I posted some random videos on the previous page with sarcastic video titles like "46,000+ Vegans lose to 1 Meat Eater in race".

Also I updated the post above with new information, and videos. Check them out.

Perhaps less of us don't eat mean than other way

Because eating meat is pretty natural for us... as we were eating meat from the early stages of our development:)

My ancestors all ate meat. And they have 90 - 110 years old life. They retain good judgement, good hearing and sight and still can walk in their old age. They all live healthy life by eating meat and vegetables. Then I saw some strangers posting about that meat is bad and only eat vegetables because it is the only good food. Who should I believe?

This place turned into a sausage fest, where did the vegans and vegetarians go?

You know you live in a pretty messed up society when 99% of the population is obsessed with celebrities like Justin Bieber, you got teenagers doing drugs, adults copying things they see on TV. You give them a few posters of cowboys smoking cigarettes and all of a sudden you get a whole population of smokers. In fact in the US, average rate of smoking is more than 1000+ cigarettes per smoker per year! (source). You give them a video of Kony 2012 and all of a sudden 99% of the population is crazy about this new fad that goes viral. You got over a million deaths over in Iraq and the entire population is crazy about this other minor thing going on somewhere in Africa. That's just the reality of the world we live in.


Yes I knew that he dropped out of being a vegetarian, but did you know that he advocates it?

“People think of animals as if they were vegetables, and that is not right. We have to change the way people think about animals. I encourage the Tibetan people and all people to move toward a vegetarian diet that doesn’t cause suffering.” - Dalai Lama

"I really making sort of — making effort to promote vegetarianism, but I myself remain non-vegetarian." - Dalai Lama

"It is always dangerous to ignore the suffering of any living being, of whatever species, even if we think it necessary to sacrifice an animal for the benefit of the majority. To deny the suffering involved, or to avoid thinking about it, is a convenient solution, but such an attitude opens the door to all kinds of excesses as we witness in wartime. It also destroys our own happiness.  As I often say,  sympathy and compassion always end up proving beneficial." - Dalai Lama

Also good work on verifying that vegetarians are "the most badass mofos on the planet": Shaolin Monks Exploding the Meat Myth
Even though I thought it was already pretty obvious. Amirite?



Getting fat is easy, getting fit is hard. Therefore; the best decision is to get fat.

My 2 cents.




What if you weren't a wolf?

My 2 cents.



Also yeah this next one is a scary video that no one here can watch to the end... It's impossible:
I don't recommend watching

Also no one will be able to watch this to the end either:
I do NOT recommend clicking here and watching the video

Also if you prove me wrong and you CAN watch both videos to the end, I will give you 5000 Offer REVOKED (reason why explained in page 20) dogecoins. So not only will you expand your knowledge, you will also be gaining currency. I don't care what you do afterwards.





Also here's another video, but unlike the other two, this one should be easy to watch, it's just a speech by Former CEO of Citibank:

Random video that can be easily watched to the end unlike the other two above

I know chickens are made from meat (too)...

I never said that this is not meat I just said that I really do not need to eat meat everyday. And when I am eating some meat it must be a chicken's breast or some thin dry no fat ham

Ps. if you are a wolf you need to eat the meat.
You are the predator and hungry like a wolf.
"Are you hungry like a wolf"?

What if you were a wolf?

My $.02.

Last I checked, Chicken breast are made of meat and not tomatoes or some other veg.......<.<
Fish is also meat, red meat white meat that's the difference -.-

I must say I don't really like meat.

I like chickens but I can live without meat with no problem..

But sometimes when I see wonderful ham with no fat on it ... and I wasn't eating meat for a while... then something is forcing me to eat it - and it taste so delicious then (nature is forcing me to eat the meat - so it means it is good for me )

But I really don't like most of the meat types...

Chickens are the best and only breast
