many of the same people who eat meat (that's pumped with steriods and other junk) cry about steriods used in sports today?
is that irony?

I think many of you really need to take time to find out what they put in your meat. you'd be surprised

Hypocrisy maybe, Irony kinda not really. Semantics. Some definitions that may apply to your example.
- incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs
- A contradiction or incongruity
- the difference between how you might expect something to be and how it actually is
- is a result different from the expected

What's wrong with you people?? No, it is not ironic. Eating meat has nothing to do with pumping steroids into your veins! Jeez, people!
And besides, the word you would be looking for would be "Hypocrisy"...And even then, it's not really hypocritical... Think about it, you might playfully punch your buddy, and I'm sure you think murder is wrong?
SAME THING!

Oh come on! It's meat! Throw it on the BBQ and slap some seasoning and sauce on it and it's fine. Mmmmmm, Beef it's what's for dinner.
I don't ***** about baseball players or football players. It's their body and if they want to pump it up with steroids it is their choice. Choice. choice, choice.

No. It might be hypocritical or contradictory, but not irony. Irony is more like sarcasm. It would be like me saying "I never go on to Yahoo! Answers," or "oh, I just love Celine Dion!"
Irony is the use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.

Very good point. The same people who will only drink bottled water yet wash their organic fruit with tap water.

no, i think there's a huge difference between eating meat with trace amounts of steroids and pumping yourself with steroids intravenously

Yes. Same with people who b*tch about gay marriage but engage in homosexual behavior (*cough* LARRY CRAIG *cough*)... Oh, the irony.

Ya but were not shooting 1000cc into our body, I doubt meat has that much anabolic steroids.
