 Coolness: 64595 | just a thought.......
lets say that you are not vegan. you eat these meat products/byproducts such as hot dogs, ground scraps and such....these meat proteins are more condusive to well-being and health than lets say......soy based proteins such as tofu? i'm sorry, but i really must disagree. first of all, with what is pumped into animals these days so that they can be processed faster, animal protein does not fall into what i would call a "natural protein" it's true that meat contains all the essential amino acids, forming a "complete protein". however,natural alternatives to meat proteins such as soy-based products, seeds, nuts and grains, when properly combined form the same complete protein. so.....it is possible to meet your protein requirements on a plant based diet. it just requires the ability to plan your meals in advance so that you don't miss out on the complete protein front. more than anything, being vegan is a decision made by someone who has decided that whether it be for health reasons or animal rights they choose to no longer eat or use animal products. a vegan who eats nothing but crackers will not be healthy......just as a meat eater who eats nothing but hot dogs will not be healthy. it's all about balance. you're free to eat whatever you wish that tastes good to you, makes your belly happy, and leaves you with the energy to get shit done. if you like meat then eat it.....i'm not about to tell anyone what they should or should not do when it comes to food. but please don't make me eat a burger or anything that used to have eyeballs......... |

 Coolness: 55025 | I agree with elf...
Here's another thought... Meat eaters often say that vegetarians are unhealthy,missing out on essentials and stuff. But most vegetarians USED to be meat eaters,like myself...i know how i felt then and i know how i feel now. I am never going back to eating meat, my tummy is happier now,i have more energy...overall i feel much better... I've known very few vegetarians who say they felt like shit and wanted to eat meat again...what does that tell you? I do know many ex-meat eaters who are never going back though. So meat eaters of the world....before you claim that being veggie is unhealthy, try it for a few months...see how you feel. Just make sure you get your proteins and stuff though...don't live on lettuce and say that you felt weak. Main thing is...listen to your body....you'll know what foods are good for you... mmmmmmmmm....Yves chili dogs.....mmmmmmmmmmmm |

 Coolness: 122130 | i was the world's healtiest vegan ever.. i dunno how you came up with such a statement, but whatever, most meat eaters are much more unhealthy. you have to see both sides of it- non- animal products also don't have shit like cholesterol in them.. |

 Coolness: 686280 | Funny, how there's 2 kinds of cholesterol, and the body needs one of the 2 to function. |

| Coolness: 149505 | it needs both...
if you lack the "bad" cholesterol, your veins will turns into hard strings and close up... too much on the other hand and theyll become twinkies... filled with nasty, blood blocking cream |

| Coolness: 450 | I AM A VEGETARIAN.
I AM A VEGETARIAN BECAUSE VEGETARIANS ARE BETTER. IF YOU KILL ANIMALS YOU ARE A TWISTED SON OF A BITCH. HOW COME SOME OF YOU HAVEN'T EVOLVED YET? ARE YOU STUPID? |

| Coolness: 122130 | of course i was (but that's debatable)- nuts are just fattening... there's better sources of protein |
