now I am not saying all meat eaters are pigs ,excuse me if that is what you think I am saying, what i am askink is why do some meat eaters say we are weaker, or isane , or unhealthy when it is completely un true, we are very healthy beings!
So why do meat eaters say that we don't get enough protein, when there is a to of proyein in plant sources ! do meat eaters say that to make them selves feel better, or do they feel offended by us.
( sorry if anyone was offended by this question)

The reason most meat eaters get offended is because many Veg*ns act like they are better than meat eaters.
Also, the meat eaters know that being a Veg*n is very hard and they could never do it, so they mock those who can.
Also, they have an inferiority complex. They delude themselves into thinking animals don't matter to get rid of the guilt that is associated with animal slaughter.
Not to mention, people have been eating meat for so long, that it is too commonplace for people to really think about anymore. I guarantee, if people had to kill their own food, most people would be Veg*n now days.

First, I don't appreciate the hostility. Even if some idiots have been hostile to you, I guarantee you that everyone who eats meat here would not be so.
Second, I don't think intelligence has anything to do with whether or not you eat meat. A lot of the most brilliant minds in the world are NOT vegetarian, as well.
Third, the premise that a vegetarian diet is so much healthier isn't entirely accurate, although it is certainly not entirely wrong. You are not healthier because you don't eat meat. You are healthier because you eat so many good fruits and vegetables. You could eat a "vegetarian" (no meat) diet that consists of nothing but pasta, peanut butter, and candy, and you certainly wouldn't be healthier for not eating meat.
Fourth, I have no problems with anyone choosing a vegetarian or a vegan diet. I especially respect this decision when it is made for the purpose of maintaining a healthy diet. I can even respect these diets when the individual wants to be respectful of all life, and does not want another animal's death on his conscience. However, I have a real problem when someone calls me a murderer for eating chicken.
Finally, the no job and fat comment was just rude.
God bless.

I am a full time student and have a job, I am physically fit, while I have friends that are vegans and vegetarians I do eat meat. I do not consider myself a pig and I do not consider my vegan or vegetarian friends insane. If you do not espouse your views in such a strong way and you stop putting people down for what they chose to put in their bodies then maybe they would stop calling you names.
Even Gandhi ate meat...he believed that if all Indians ate meat then the world would stop taking advantage of them because they would become stronger.

Wow, as a vegan myself, I am quite disturbed by your comments. I can see why people would find you insane and you obviously aren't one of the smart vegans. Honestly, attacking people for their life choices is not only ignorant but completely detrimental to your cause.
If the entire world was vegetarian we would have more problems feeding people and a greater oil crisis than we do now. What you should be crusading for is humane treatment of animals.
I have a question as well:
If you are such a friend to animals, why would you use the term "pig" as an insult? Surely you must know that pigs are one of the smartest animals, as well as one of the cleanest.

Wow....lots of pent up anger there, huh? I'm guessing you're pretty young, so just a word of advice: Learn now not to get so worked up over something so trivial. Your blood pressure will thank you when you're older. What do you care what anyone else thinks, anyway? You don't eat meat. I do. Does it really matter?
I certainly don't appreciate the name calling, especially since you can't spell or put together a proper sentence.

I don't know why meat eaters are threatened by us. I don't know why they come to our site and talk their uneducated nonsense. I think that the meat eaters who come to this area of yahoo answers are very curious by us and deep inside want to learn how to become non meat eaters...otherwise, why are they here?

You aren't proving your point. First you say that we think we are stronger than you but your counterpoint is that you know some vegetarians who are smart. There is a hell of a difference in strength and smarts. And by the way, whether someone eats meat does not make them a genius.

I don't know, maybe it's because your judging people based on their beliefs. If you don't want to be judged based on what your beliefs are, then don't criticize others for how they choose to live their life.
I get sick of people who have different practices having this "holier than thou" attitude. I really don't think there is a justifiable answer to your question since it its extremely biased and one-sided.
I personally admire veganism and vegetarianism for its wholesomeness and purity, but I do not admire some people who practice it, thinking only their way is right, so I am torn on my opinion.

Wow, that was pretty hateful and stereotypical. You are entitled to eat whatever you choose, as am I. I don't consider myself nor my family pigs for consuming meats.
I think that you maybe insane for your ridiculous rant and slanderous remarks. There are much better ways to pass on your beliefs rather than "bash" someone who lives differently than yourself.

As much as ur question is biased, it is true on one side. I'm a vegetarian & many ppl think they're "stronger" than me & that I'm krazy for not consuming dead things. Might as well eat my arm...isn't that meat too?
