This shit's enough to make me go vegetarian

[Ghost_Wheel22]

My family raised organic beef cattle was I was young. They were allowed to wander around in a big pasture and frolic/screw/sleep as much as they wanted for about 3 years. Then we'd put'em down and sell the meat to locals as well as supply ourselves with a stocked freezer. Now that I no live with them I really miss it. The meat you get at the store is so pumped with so much crap it tastes exactly like that.

And seeing a meat factory work irl it doesn't surprise me how easily PETA can run its bullshit propaganda. 150% political, 0% common sense

Penn & Teller call bullshit on PETA.

You can hate animal cruelty and PETA at the same time, you know.

Ecoli comes from said livestock. FUCK damnit do research.

I've eaten KFC once every 3 years or so, because there's only one within 20 miles of where I live, but now I'll jsut avoid it alltogether, lol.

Guess you didn't read the later statement. That facility produces for far, far more places than KFC. Dodge Mcdonald's and just about every other fast food joint for good measure if that bothers you so much.

PETA was just using KFC as a target. They want you to be a vegan. Period. No meat, no leather, no animal products. Heck, if they could get you to stop eating fish too, it'd be all good for them. I rank them one step above anti-abortion types who sniper rifle doctors, since they're kind enough to help up the nice organizations that "rescue" animals from labs that do contagious disease research. One of these days, they'll "rescue" something and introduce the latest version of Ebola to the public.

You want to help stop animal cruelty? Support your local Humane Society instead of the PETA freakshow. When they see cruelty, they go to the frickin' police and have the bastards in question arrested, not use it for target practice on a single business out of dozens that use the foodstuffs that come out of that plant.

And yep, E Coli contamination comes frequently from livestock waste....like hosing animal waste into places where it gets into the water supply. Or human waste, for that matter. It's a matter of a farm being a fuckup and literally not getting their shit together in the right place. You can get the same contamination when someone fails to keep their septic tank clear and you get overflow into the water table.

For the most part, PETA's got it's shit all mixed up. They care for the individual rather than the species. Sure, it's in the name, People for the ETHICAL Treatment of Animals, but our concerns should extend further than how those animals are treated to what those farms are doing to our biodiversity.

Example: PETA fought an organization that wanted to exterminate non-native pigs who threatened endangered, native plants, all in the name of ethics. Fuck that, what's more pressing of an issue is the decline of biodiversity on this planet, not fucking pigs and their feelings.

Now I'm a vegetarian and I don't get up on a high horse or a soapbox, I think nearly all ppl, vegetarian and omnivores, should really look at their diets and fix them.

This post needed more qft'ing

I don't eat KFC because... it doesn't taste good. I really don't care what happens to the food before it gets on my plate, as long as it tastes good and doesn't give me herpes. KFC fails at least one of those requirements. They have good mashed potatoes though... yum.

[Scythiroth]

They have good mashed potatoes though... yum.

I do like those. I also get their chicken strips. Last time I had their normal chicken though, it did suck.

[Sonomaa]

macaroni and cheese ftw
though Boston markets macaroni is better

[Scythiroth]

I hate reading about food after not eating breakfast. I think it's almost time for my 2 hour lunch.

I honestly might consider the vegetarian diet more if they made some soy-based meat, or cheese, or milk, or ice cream, something that could rival the absolute deliciousness of these types of products. I have tried so may different types of soy/vega/you name it products, so many have tasted so horrible/unsatisfying to me. Everything from Boca Burgers to Silk, Rice Dream, whatever you can think of, some of them haven't necessarily tasted BAD, but are just no replacement. I love my chicken, my pork, my beef, my milk, my ice cream, my cheese, my shrimp, my salmon, you name it. Do you know how hard, and how ridicously expensive/time consuming it is to buy things without at least some form of animal product in it, like milk or eggs? Cruelty is a tricky subject too, how do you KNOW an animal wasn't treated similarly elsewhere?

Oh, and PETA is a horrible, twisted mockery of legitamite evironmentalists everywhere, and Popeyes > KFC, forever and always.

Just a piece of information on vegetarianism.

(I forget the actual names of the proteins, but whatever)

There are proteins that your body needs that cannot be found in any vegetables or fake meats. It comes from meat. Hence, why humans are naturally omnivores (I'm not sure why people try to deny that). Being a strinct vegatarian or vegan completely removes this vital protein from your diet. However you still obtain this protein through other means. Due to a vegan/tarian's dietary neglect, their body takes the other proteins they obtain through soy/whey/nuts/whatever and reconfigures them into the protein they're lacking. This process takes a bit energy and essentially puts an extra burden on the body.

"Feeling better" about not eating meat products is all in the mind. Unless you're eating nothing but large amounts of Turkey or the like, there's nothing in the average chunk of cooked animal muscle that's going to slow you down and make you feel less alive. If anything, denying your body this essential protein through strict vegetarianism is going to wear you out.

I believe this is why a number of "vegetarians" go so far as to eating fish. (It's ok because fish have no souls right?? They are pulled from their homes and suffocate in a pile of other dead brethren on the deck of a boat, how HORRRIBLE, let's PROTEST) Thus not being vegetarians anymore, and eating small portions of meat just because of the nutritional quality it has... IMAGINE THAT.

No matter how you look at it, if you eat a piece of meat, an animal died for you. I've always done what that other guy back there mentioned. The animal is already dead. Why waste it? Honor and respect its life it has given to nurture yours, eh?

[Exoduso]

Stuff.

qft, I should print this and show it to my friend heh.
