ok wtf does this mean?

Question

ok, so my little cousin was talking and he was like, "im so hungry i could eat 5 pigs!" and i almost gagged. and now whenever i have to eat meat, i think about what the animal could have gone through before it was killed and then i can't even look at it. i never felt like that before, so should i go vegetarian?

Answer 1

meh, sure.

Answer 2

Do you really need help with this question? If you're this non-comittal on the question, how can you possibly think you'd follow through on any advice. You really don't care about this, so don't waste your time on it...eat what you feel like eating. If your conscience is guiding you then you will be a vegetarian if your mind/body tells you to.

Answer 3

Why not? Being a vegetarian is a very natural way of living. If you are repulsed by the thought of meat then don't eat it. No one can force you to eat what you don't want to.

Though, please, don't go all militant about it. I hate my friends who start ranting and raving about how meat is murder while I'm enjoying my tasty supper.

Answer 4

It may just be a phase. My best friends went through this. She said when she would look at hamburger she woud see the cow and hear it. but htne she got over it and eats meat all the time. If you cant stomach to eat it then don't force yourself. But it will pass.

Answer 5

no because the animal doesnt go through a lot of suffering when it dies. you shouldnt think about the animal though. if u go vegetarian then you'll miss all the healthy stuff u need from meat anyways. you'll be skinnier. but when ur thinking of the animal just think that it is the way of life.

Answer 6

I think you should try it. My sister went vegetarian for a whole month once. She said that once the month was up, she didn't even want to look at meat.
I understand where you're coming from, give it a try.

Answer 7

you can try it but it is really difficult. I dont eat very much... but i do eat it every now and then! I go through the same thing, but im all for the animals

Answer 8

I don't think so. Dont let your little cuz's tiny comment bother you. Kids say the stupiist things. The other day in the car my 6 yr old sis shouted out keep the devil away! HAHA

Answer 9

Hell yeah, it's only just dawned on you?!
Man, if only they had windows on slaughterhouses, anyone with half a heart would be veggie.
Go vegan if you can manage it! But inform your family first. It's a big decison, and you'll be amazed with the amount of foods containing animal product.

I've been there before. Today we have become sensitized to where burgers come from living in a farm factory loving country and being totally removed from nature through modernization. You don't usually think about the cut up body of the chicken in your chow mein when you're eating it. But that's nature. Modern humans have always been omniverious animals.

Only since most of the last century did people even get to go to a market and buy their meat prepackaged. The rest of human history consisted of people preparing their own animals. My mother, having grown up on a farm and had a father who was a butcher, had to do that stuff. She also had the pleasure of trying rabbit, squirrel and racoon meat.

When you're a poor farmer, you gotta prepare your own meat. In poorer countries of the world, you go down to a market, where there are all different types of animal meat hanging from ropes or on a table, with or without the head and rest of the body. In Asia, you could find tiger penise, dog meat, sea urchin, horse meat or you name it.

I had a professor who visited Guatamala. He said that he entered a random market to pick up food to eat. He saw three kids playing with a dog outside. Then one of the kids said to my professor "Hey, were gonna eat him later". In certian places of the world, that's what you have to do in order to survive.

Whether or not you want to continue eating meat is up to your discretion. I thought of being vegetarian myself, for being simply disgusted by meat. But then I thought, any carniverous animal would go to any lengths to eat me. In fact, there's organisms living on me eating my cells. It's all part of the natural food cycle.

Organisms need to survive off of other organisms. I have respect for animals as they have respect for me. To live differently would be unnatural for me. Meat has proteins and other vitamins, and is vital to our immune system, energy, our muscular system, our skeletal system, our brain and everything else. Some scientists believe we became intelligent because of our ancestors introduction of meat into their diet.

All the vegetarians I know get very ill all the time and brake bones very easily. One of my best friends says he just doesn't have the energy he used to since he turned vegetarian. I tend to stray away from mammal meat as possible. As I tend to prefer the taste of poultry and fish. Plus, due to my low income, I only eat meat 3 times a week. I also feel that people who do eat meat, eat too much of it, especially red meat. I also prefer veggies and fruits over meat, but I still love a grilled salmon any day.

I say that you either stop thinking too much about what you're eating and go to your natural human state as I evetually did. Or you consider the new diet you are entering, and be careful and eat lots of green lettuce(not iceberg), legumes, soy and grains. It's all up to you. Don't let anyone judge you, but do take good advice. Do research before becoming veg.

Answer 11

Sounds like going vegetarian might be a good idea. Can I have your cheeseburger?
