Are you a Vegetarian ?

Post by **Sea Skimmer** » 2003-10-07 09:08am

Vegetables are not food, vegetables are what food eats.

Oh, go blow yourself, shitmonkey.

Vegans don't eat *any* animal products.

Vegetarians will actually eat cheese and drink milk, and some go as far as eggs and fish.

I'm sorry, but your definition for vegetarian in no way matches your definition for vegan. And as many other smart people can tell you, vegans and vegetarians are quite different.

A vegitarian is someone who pratices vegitarianism.

That is one of the worst definitions I think I have ever seen.

Here's a little hint for you: it's best not to flame people unless you're right.

Vegetarians don't eat or wear the flesh of animals that were once alive. That means that eggs, milk, honey, wool, anything that is taken from the animal without harming it is okay.

Vegans refuse to use ANY ANIMAL PRODUCT in ANY WAY. A vegetarian is opposed to KILLING animals, a vegan is opposed to EXPLOITING them.

I hope I don't need to use any more CAPITAL LETTERS to EXPLAIN this to you AGAIN.

I had a programming design and logic professor. Mr. Brown. He was a vegan and looked healthy, but I didn't ask for all the details

Aren't there vegans nowadays that won't eat honey because it's made by bees?

If true, that's lame

No bees were harmed during the production of the honey

Yes. They won't eat honey because it's "stealing" from them. I don't know whether or not it's acceptable to maintain a hive in order to pollinate crops.

Vegans don't eat animal products, honey is an animal product. *shrug* A self-proclaimed vegan who does eat honey is as hypocritical as a 'vegetarian' who eats fish and chicken, IMNSHO.

Isn't any food harvested by humans an animal product?

For some reasons I simply can not eat chicken. I just can not force myself to swallow anything that has chicken in it. It is not due to any vegetarian beliefs. I just can not eat chicken. I eat beef very rarely as I do not like it. As for pork I am a muslim so I never eat it.

Well, when vegans talk about "animal products" they obviously refer to animals which aren't humans.

When people doesn't have heavy machinery, they need to enslave cows and tie big ropes and such to dig the ground for the crops. So I'd say that at least half the time most crops are animal food.

thse heavy machines kill thousands of times more animals harvesting grain than than if you would take that herd of cattle and made a shitload of sloppy joes.

Yeah but they dispose of the evidence too pretty quickly.
