Meateaters, should you have your own sub category on YA food and drink? It's only fair - right?!?

Question

We vegetararians and vegans have, therefore there should be a meat, poultry, game and fish section. Don't you agree?

I see what Mike is saying, I agree for the most part, but the otherside of the coin is that people frequently ask us how to cook a turkey or venison etc. here. I wouldn't know and wouldn't want to give someone food poisoning by giving the wrong answer. I haven't eaten meat for years !!!

Elvis, A vegetarian eats neither fish nor flesh nor fowl .

Answer 1

What about those fake vegetarians who eat fish (or even chicken!) they need a category too.

Answer 2

Can't see why there is a need to be segregated? Surely questions about food are fairly unexciting. If someone asks a question about cooking meat, then presumably the veggie would not bother to answer it.
Meat eaters do eat vegetables as well you know! And even like dishes that don't have meat, so what is your point.
My ex wife had a spell in our early marriage of being a veggie, didn't cause a problem, most young women go through that stage at some point, and a lot of veggies eat fish too.

Seems with all due respect a daft idea

Answer 3

Do you remember from grade school geometry where they told you that a square is always a rectangle but a rectangle is not always a square? Both have four sides and four right angles but square got it's own category because it was a little more special.

The same principle applies here. All vegetarian meals exclude meat but not all meat dishes exclude vegetables. So it makes sense for a veggie sub-category but not so much for the other way.


PS- Though you may feel that a veggie diet excludes fish and chicken there are many people out there calling themselves veggies and who do eat it. And while I personally am disinclined to think of a vegetarian diet as one that includes any type of meat I think of it like religion.
People have different reasons for believing in vegtarianism and different ways of practicing that may diverge from what others think is proper but I don't have a right to tell them how to practice their personal faith.

Answer 4

Oh expensive it does no longer be so undesirable if your submit grow to be merely all the way down to the fact you seem to no longer comprehend that that's an open talk board, or which you lack the tolerance and mind to talk and debate on a public talk board yet you shame God and mock all Christians with such an ideas-set! Anti atheism is doing a lot injury to Christianity that that's extremely anti Christianity – David Manley It takes truly purely one to make a quarrel. that's ineffective for the sheep to bypass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism, on a similar time as the wolf continues to be of a diverse opinion. - William Ralph Inge. Why so blind to what motives the backlash against Christianity? all the different religions and atheists stay in peace and are purely attacked by skill of undesirable Christians which motives all sturdy Christians to melancholy on the wear and tear they do! The self destruction of Christianity is underway and the only element that could end that's to desert the poor human thoughts, seek for to rediscover the assumption of a loving god and act like it! Posts like yours that force human beings further removed from God are utilising you in direction of hell. So who're you working for the devil or the antichrist because of the fact it helpful ain't the loving god!

Answer 5

I agree - people should do things for equality, if you make a special case for a minority then you should make an equal special case for the rest of society.

Have a vegetarian section and a non vegetarian section - its all equal then.

This gets worse when you look at racial, sexual and religious discrimination. You can have a woman only session in the gym, but rarely are there men only sessions to make things equal.

I saw a sign at the local pool 'Asian Women Only Session', to make things equal there should have been a sessions for everyone else. Imagine the arguments if, to make things equal there was a sign 'Europen Men Only Session', along with 'South American Men Only', 'African Women Only'.... - it would all be equal then though.

Answer 6

I totally agree! I guess meat eaters are just so mainstream that we vegs are the ones that get subcatagorized. I am of the same thought-oh, give them a home, where the buffalo roam........

Answer 7

not really, us meateaters come under the catagory food and drink. this is because meat comes under food.

its up to you vegetarians that you dont eat meat, so you get your own cat.

Answer 8

I agree. Oral sex is an important topic in my book. Along with bringing vegetables into the equation ;)

Answer 9

totally agree
