Vegitarian/vegan or meat eater???

[circaocean]

which do you like better

[kazuchiyo]

which do you like better

As much as I love meat, I'd prefer to eat a primarily vegetable-based diet, because it makes me feel better. Unfortunately, I rarely have a chance to do so. :(

[His Holyness Moo]

No meat for meh... -glances at the plate of Veggies he had not to long ago.-

[Ashton_Anchors]

When I move out, the only thing close to meat I will eat will be sea food. Though I'm not sure what the type of person that does not eat meat but consumes un-fertilized eggs and milk is, since eggs and milk are mearly products of the animal's. Not the actual animal.

[His Holyness Moo]

I am iffy on eating eggs. I have no problem with milk... But I don't drink it since I I hate the taste... I like it in foods though... -shrugs.- I belive if the animal has to die... I will take no part in eating it. I rather take a human life then a cute little cows life. o_o;

well good for you I hope to do the same soon^.^

[Klawzie]

You hope to what...? XD

[tsukasa]

Omniverous!!!

[mei-chan]

i am a vegetarian, have been for like ten years, no meat no fish my boyfriend eats organic meat only and ocassionally fish ( only kinds wich aren't endangered) and we also always have organic eggs and milk caus they taste better and the animals have a better life
i liked going to McDonalds until they scrapped the veggieburger in holland. so iam not all about health:p

[circaocean]

You hope to what...? XDi hope to be a vegitarian^^
like him

[Aratos]

omnivore. For one thing, both meat and veg are neccesary for a good balanced diet, and for another, the way I see it is that if we weren't meant to eat animals then they wouldn't be made of meat.

[Alphonse Elric]

ill eat vegi's if there not green ^_^

[Shinigamiyoko]

Meat. I'm a protein consumer, definately. I don't like vegetables very much, rather unfortunately...

[Countess Cain]

It depends on the food, I suppose. And who cooks the meat. XD

[Gaara]

either but i favor meat more than veggies

[ParaKiss]

Omnivore but I eat alot more vegetables than I do meat. And it's normally fish, chicken or pork. I rarely eat beef.

[PeNCILz]

Allow me to note how wrong this poll is!

Now! Vegans do not use animal products at all and are in themselves an complete and different "vore".

Vegetarians eat vegetables but usually use animal products but will not eat red meat. That means that usually vegetarians eat fish or chicken but not all vegetarians do.

Haves a nice day.

[scarecrow]

actually
i'm not a big veggie person
i used to be
but now i eat a lot of fruit and bread..?
and i have pepperoni every weekday on my subway sandwich for lunch XD
so i don't know O_o

[mei-chan]

vegeterians don't eat meat, fisf or chicken, otherwise they aren't vegeterian but just picky

[CCS_fan06]

I'm totally a meat eater.
I will eat vegetables on occasion though. I like green beans. ^_^

[Pomander]

Animals are here for the eatin'. If you don't, they'll eat you first. YEAH. >8|

Seriously though, while you can get plenty of nutrients from vegetables, I see no reason to not eat meat because, oh no, cute animals are getting slaughtered. At that point, I hope you're against squishing spiders and ants as well because it's quite disrepectful to a creature to deem its life less worthy because it's not fluffy and "cute." Clearly, this is my opinion.

In short, both equally! Both are delicious.

[Kaede]

Meat. I don't mind the vegetarians who consider it their own personal preference, but the ones who try to force their leafy diets on me are annoying. It's not like I stalk the neighborhood and devour all the dogs I find running around in peoples' yards.

I will eat vegetables and fruit, I just don't like them as much.

[MinChan]

Meat i like vegies but i cant live without meat. MMMMMM steak

[AislingNiamh]

I'm a solid carnivore. When I was little I used to eat anything but now I'm so picky about vegetables... I live on a farm so the "animals + kill= food" concept doesn't bother me. :o It's just the way life works, 99.99% of living things have to kill and eat other living things to survive, be they animal or vegetable, and you kill various micro-organisms by breathing... So I don't get it if people become vegetarian or vegan simply because they don't want to kill living things. But if it's more a matter of taste--like for my mother--that's fine! I know I shouldn't be eating all that meat because it makes me sick, but organic meat doesn't do that, so I figure it's the antibiotics and stuff they put in it.
And by the way I recommend trying kinpira, which is a Japanese dish of carrot and burdock. It's very good.

[nicolepalmer]

This is going to sound kind of lame.

i've always liked fruits and vegetables and all,but i went through a phase when i was 14 that i would become a vegetarian just because my favourite lead singer(AT THE TIME) was a vegan.And if you want to know what his name was it was Daniel johns of Silverchair.it was a very brief period but this thread reminded me of it.

[Iblis]

I LOVE MEAT.
srsly. Sometimes if I go without it for a couple of days I start getting a craving. I love vegetables too, but not to the extent that I do meat. I couldn't imagine life without red meat and chicken.

I do not like fish/seafood, for the most part. I'll eat fresh-caught tuna (which doesn't taste at all like fish :D), and shrimp if it's in something like ceviche where the lemon and other ingredients drown out the taste, but otherwise I don't touch anything that comes out of the sea.

nicolepalmer: Hey, tons of people do the same thing. One of my younger and one of my older sisters got their inspiration for their vegitarianism the same way. As long as you don't admit it to anyone when you're older, you're okay. ;)

[Arcademan]

Beef...it's what's for dinner!!!

I'm a 'meats-n-taters' man all the way :D

[chocopocko]

I will eat both but mainly i dont eat either.
Usually i eat fruit and bread and junkfood .
Im with Pomander if you are gonna be a vegan than dont kill all the spiders in your house 'cause you are saying that they are insignifigant. Im a really bad example of this 'cause i eat meat and save the poor little spiders. I see it as the spiders must be more important otherwise they would be big enough for dinner.

[dreamchaser]

Meat! Couldn't live with out it. Beef! Chicken!

Steak is great; I like it medium/medium well, so my sister (not a vegetarian) hates watching me it eat, saying it's still alive.

I eat very few veggies; just not my thing.

[odinmm]

i am mainly a meat eater. i like to have stakes, hamburgers, and BBQ's. i also like pork, and chicken, and turkey but my diet consist of mostly beef. :D I thank the cows for feeding me.

[T0M0_chan]

aah!!! *o* cow hater!!!
lol, can't really say that tho since I also eat steak ;P
I've tried to be a vegetarian when I was 5 cuz my older sis
told me I was a cow murder>>>what a BZ
but it didn't work:D ...

[Riri_chan]

Eat both but my diet consist mostly of meat.
mainly thin stakes,tri-tip,sausage sandwiches and ne kind of sea food
but i do eat quite alot of veggies like salads,corn,broccoli,patatos and cucumbers

[Skye]

I'm a vegan :) No animal products for moi.

[Dusty Chalk]

I'm an omnivore, as humans are wont to be.

[Ban Midou]

i eat both as people should but i could never become a true vegan.

[AnimeDudde]

Both!! Im a big meat eater.. but mostly only Chicken :P Sometimes pork, but thats about it xD But I like vege stuff too, like pasta, pizza, poutine!! :D

[Dusty Chalk]

So...if you change "chicken" to "poultry", you like foods that start with a "P"...?

[Verdekurama]

I'm an Omnivore, I don't feel full without meat.

[elisegrey]

I was a vegetarian - completely by accident! - until the age of about eleven, so I've never really got into the habit of eating lots of meat, other than the occasional English Breakfast or slice of bacon in a sandwich.

The idea of eating, say, a big steak really makes me feel a little sick.

I suppose if I was really trying to be healthy that month, the closest I'd get to carnivorous was to be a pescatarian.

[Arcademan]

Heh. If you're going to eat a little meat, it should be bacon.

Bacon makes everything better!!! :D

[elisegrey]

Bacon makes everything better!!!
*goes off to make a bacon sandwich now, damn you* :D

[PoisonSunrise]

"Both equally?" *blinks*

Anyway.... I'm a vegetarian. No, not the kind that pushes vegetarianism into everyone's face. I really don't care if you eat meat or not; your life, your choice. I get really annoyed with the vegetarians that are so extreme about it. Then again, I also get annoyed with the non-vegetarians that go on about how you're going to get sick or die from it. Both annoy me equally.

[kakashi]

Meat all the way!

[adichappo]

I'll quote the best t-shirt i ever saw:
"You are what you eat....I am a dead cow."
MOO! Bring on the steak!

[KingN]

i love eating meat, but i'll pass any meat for a good salad.

[AnimeKitty]

this being my first 'reply' thing, i figured i'd make it worth-while. ^_^

i read a lot of things that were... how to say it... incorrect or assumptions, i'm a veggie-head, that HATES vegies, and like poisin sunrise, i don't care if you eat meat, you can do whatever you want, and i don't force my opinions on people, but when they start goin' off about how good meat is, i do tend to start goin off about factory farming and preservetives and all that... just because i love a good debate ^_^

what i hate most though, is when someone who eats meat thinks it's funny to shove it down a veggie's throat, or put it in their food, that just makes me angry!! stupid poopie-people!!

[His Holyness Moo]

Like the amount of steriods(sp) cows and chickens are injected with. The hormones in meat are extreamly bad, and have... ummm... intresting effects on young females. ( I'm not very sure if TOKYOPOP wants me to go into that publicly on the board.) Along with the ways they are slaughtered are extreamly un-healthy as well. - But on the other hand, if you go and eat Organic grown meat, most of the time, the animals are in a cage free envrioment, said to taste better, and do not have the nasty side effects to girls. - Although... I still do not eat meat and I try to eat a lot of organic veggies. I just love animals to much to eat them. I am going on my 5th or 6th year now.

[chriswithchrist]

Give me a steak or Bar-B-Que any day!:)

[SaSuNaRu]

I was a vegetarian for a while, and in all honesty if it werent for me getting sick because of it, I still would be.

Oh, and I have an obsession with Chick-fil-a nuggets... I seriously waste all my money there..

[His Holyness Moo]

Oh, and I have an obsession with Chick-fil-a nuggets... I seriously waste all my money there..
Ha! The that reminds me. The first day I become a vegitarian... The lady who would bring my food to school for me did not know. And she brought me Chicken Nuggests from Chick-fil-a!

[Vicious]

Meat-eater. I honestly can't see how people like vegetables over meat... I mean; Peas and brocoli over a stake or a hamburger? Argh!

[His Holyness Moo]

Peas and brocoli over a stake or a hamburger? Argh!
I hate brocoli! I but there are a lot of other things you can eat. To be honest.... Hamburgers made of soy are much better then ones made of meat. Before I stopped eating meat, all I ate was meat. But now I like soy products and veggies much more. The smell of meat makes me sick. - Peas are really good though! I think after the 2 year period... You start to like veggies and such.

[Cowboychamploo44]

I like to eat meat and vegetables...

[Kantami]

I have a vegaterian breakfast obviusly my creal contains no meat i mostly have a vegetarian lunch and a meat dinner

[Asteria11]

I run on a mostly meat-free diet, key word being 'mostly.' I'll eat it maybe once a month or so, but only certain kinds of meat. Chicken, steak, or pork? Forget about it; I'd never eat it. Roast beef or hamburger, then...? They're okay.

[Kurapica]

I eat meat way more than I do vegetables. I think I even eat more fruits than veggies. O_o

What's the crucial difference to you between roast beef/hamburger and a steak?

[KeoKa]

I'm a meatatarin, feed me your baby lamb!

[Nekochii]

I'm an omnivore like God intented humans to be. Therefore I eat meat, vegies, fruits, breads, and dairy. Nothings off limits for me except bugs or household pets like dogs, cats, ect.

[Tchaikorin]

I've been a vegetarian for about six years now.

[gaarasoul]

Omnivore for me

[T0M0_chan]

I tried being a vegetarian in elementary but it only lasted for 10 minutes.....
MEAT ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!

[annette]

I'm a meat eater :)

I don't think I could live off of leaves with a little bit of salt&pepper sprinkled on them.

[alucard666]

definitly a meat eater.

[CrazyCat]

Meat eater, what'd you expect from a cat? =^-^= One of my brothers is a vegitarian though. I have no idea how he survives since he used to be a big meat eater too.

[stickdeathgod]

the meat is so delicious!!! but i do eat other stuff to. but meat is the best...especially with taco seasoning
MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnn.........tacos

[darkdarcy20]

I'm also a meat eater, but I do eat veggies now and then.

[Ichigosmiles]

I eat meat, lots of it! Yay Carnivores!

[renrenren]

because i love animals so much & didn't like the idea of eating them after i saw how they were slaughtered (& you can't make excuses saying that YOU didn't kill it & it will go to waste if you don't eat it because if more & more people didn't eat meat then they wouldn't even be killed in the 1st place) was a vegetarian for 6 months & vegan for the next 6 months a few years ago. wasn't so hard. as long as you have the right ingredients & recepe (ok i know i spelled that wrong). went back to meat eating to gain weight due to weighing only like 90 pounds. will try to become vegetarian but not vegan in the near future for my beliefs. but it's forgivable to eat meat because we are meat eaters just as there are other animals that are meat eaters. i mean why is it right for the animals to eat animals but not humans who are also a type of animal to eat animals?

[Cowboychamploo44]

I eat both meat and plants. So i'm an omnivore

[alucard666]

i do like lettuce on my hamburgers, so i guess i'm an omnivore too.

[Yuna19]

I don't eat that much meat but i do eat a lot of veggies and fruits....

[melancholybebop]

Vegetables. Just gives me a sense of feeling at least a bit healthy.

[Kurapica]

Same here. Though, I do like meat more.

[Freakazoid]

Meat, Vegies, whatever if it's cooked/fried the right way i'll eat it.

[bluebutterflydays]

I'm a vegetarian, but I live with a very meat oriented family, we do live on a farm, after all. I still eat eggs and milk, but I'm very picky about it. I grew up knowing how to tell if a chicken or cow was treated right from the product, that's why I always look for thick egg shells and only buy from my local dairies, where I know the cows are taken care of.
I'm a vegetarian because I myself am uncomfortable with eating other animals, but I believe people have every right to eat meat, it's natural. Living in the age that we do, we're lucky enough to have the means to customize our diets to get what we need and allow us to be vegetarian if we'd like. I also believe that, vegetarian or not, people usually don't eat to get what they need, but what they want. So, I think whether or not either diet is good for someone all depends on that someone's commitment to making sure they have a good diet.

Right, I'm done rambling

I'm a vegetarian. It's wrong to eat animals. An I disagree that we should have the right to eat them. Physiologically we have more in common with herbivores, than carnivores, or omnivores. If it were natural for us to eat meat, that wouldn't be the case.

shame on you, making a comment like that, how dare you say people have every right to eat meat? why! what, here it is in other words, they have every right to kill and slaughter innocent animals. how is that ok? why do you even think its natural? its not natural, people just started eating it years ago, and still do, that doesnt make it natural, if it was natural youd wake up in the morning practically craving the taste of meat and blood. and saying living in the age that we do, what are you talking about? more like living in the age that we do, people shouldnt be allowed to kill them. yes, im a vegetarian, and all round animal lover. and i dont beleive a single animal should be hurt in anyway.

[roxas87]

im not really a meat eater or veggie person.

well they do. people can eat watever they want. in the end it wont matter because you already eat it and you cant do a thing about it.

[YamPuff]

People have been eating meat for a long, long time. I see no reason to stop. The way I see it, God made animals for us to use.

In any case, people, lay off the whole business of whether or not its right to eat meat. Everyone has their own beliefs and we should respct that, even if they happen to be different from ours. A fight will only get the thread locked and will change nobody's mind.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! HOW DARE YOU THINK YOUR SO HIGH AND MIGHTY TO MAKE A STATEMENT LIKE THAT. IM ALSO SICK OF PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ANIMALS, SAYING STUFF LIKE THAT, WHEN ANYONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT THEM, WILL TELL YOU, THAT THERE BEINGS WITH EMOTIONS AND MINDS.

If we're working on the belief that God created everything, an he wanted us to eat animals, why are we physically catered towards a herbivorous diet? Since you know what God is thinking, I'm sure you'll have no problem coming up with an answer for that one. YEAH? I SUPPOSE THATS WHY ANIMALS EVOLVED MILLIONS OF YEARS BEFORE HUMANS EVEN CAME ABOUT IS IT?An that too.

[GlowInTheDarkSoul]

I've been a vegan for the past four and a half years. It took a lot of adjustment, but in the end it's definitely been worth it. I have tons more energy, my cholesterol and blood pressure levels are well below where they should be, and I'm a lot more focused in everything I do. If it's something you're considering, I'd wholeheartedly recommend it.

If you decide that going vegan is for you, I'd recommend first doing your research (there are lots of great resources on the internet) instead of just jumping in headfirst. A lot of people I know who tried to convert that way were back to their old eating habits in less than a month.

Give it a chance, your body will thank you.

[edit]

Also, why are people answering that they're both vegetarian/vegan and a meat eater? There is no inbetween, you either eat meat or you don't.

[Fighterspledge]

Eat Meat......

[aska-su]

Well i eat meat...but not so often these days..
I've never been big on veggies
X3

[Talim]

I'm a vegitarian ... ^^
But I eat fish since fish is sea food and not meat.

(Lotte I know you're watching!!!)

[cowzrfreaky123]

I am a vegitarian. I have been for approx. 2 yrs. I am still fimly an egg and cheese eater, and drink milk (organic, of course :) I care for the cowses and chickens)

[Talim]

You're ignoring me ... T_____T
That's mean.
Is that why you only eat pizza?

[Chexednut]

Plain and simple: I would die without my meat. (Aww damn, I ate my sausage already... >Is eating a microwave breakfast<) Of course, I do have my swings with vegetables and salads.

[RamaNoodle21]

also always have organic eggs and milk caus they taste better and the animals have a better life

the whole better life thing isn't true. the animals are treated just the same either they're at a normal pplant or a organic one so yeah, just thought I might add that^^
