I am a veggie, but I have learned to accept that people will tell themselves whatever they need to in order to keep consuming meat. I used to, and then I learned about the whole process of how meat comes to us. I think it is easy to not think about it because in America we are so distanced from the whole process. We don't see the animals suffering or hear their cries. I just made a rule for myself that I won't eat what I couldn't kill myself. Other people hunt and are okay with killing, cleaning, and eating animals. Somehow I have more respect for that than people buying processed meat in a store. I will get off my soapbox now....

I generally consider vegetarians and vegans to be pretty intelligent people. They've usually researched what is healthy and all of the environmental and health benefits of eating plant life instead of animal.
But if you're going to represent, please do it with correct spelling. You're making the vegetarian community look bad when you can't even spell what you're so proud of.
I don't claim that I'm an Amerecan!
Just google your spelling of the word "vegeterian" before you go on ranting about dead meat.
Because of my findings here, I'm forced to believe that you aren't even a true vegetarian.

Did you know that the Meat and Dairy Industries have historically been aggressive about providing nutrition "education" for the public. For decades that Industry has produced its very own versions of meal planning guides and distributed them free of charge to public schools, hospitals, and doctors offices. For most of you, these were the only nutrition edumacation materials you ever saw while you were in school!!!
(And don't forget, an industry, just like the meat and dairy industry, is out to make money $$$. Nothing more, nothing less. Just like the crack-cocaine dealer),
The Meat and Dairy Industries executives make money by making you sicker. Oh, by the way...There are VERY big ties between these three industries; Meat Dairy AND Drug. Coincidence? As the commercials say: Ask Your Doctor!

you are quite mad!! How is my body made up of bits of dead animals? On that logic then yours must be made of bits of vegetable (mainly cabbage I imagine)
I KNOW that in my next meal I will more than likely be eating part of a dead animal, and you know what? Im fine with that. In fact I think its breakfast time. Pass the bacon and sausages

true, but no need to get into an argument with anyone for this
everything happens for a reason.
imagine how expensive beans would be if all the meat eaters stopped eating meat and started eating beans and pulses !!
i am vegetarian but thats my choice. doesnt mean i look down on meat eaters or argue with them about right or wrong.
LIVE and LET LIVE

When a bird dies and falls from the sky into the farmer's field and decomposes or the cow manure is spread on his field to make organic produce, in both cases this is absorbed by the veggies you eat
So you are eating produce that is grown in dirt (ugh), fed manure (ugh) or absorbed by decayed carcases that were once maggot infested (ugh,ugh) you are holier than thou?
At least my meat is cooked and the germs are sanitized from being seared in the heat!

Are you a vegan? Because if you're a vegetarian I could argue a similar case to you... you are eating and drinking pain and suffering. If you are a vegan then I apologize but still, there's no need to come on here and preach your ethics to people. I totally agree with you but this is a question and answer site and that was hardly a question you posed there.

Get a fresh, green lettuce, the cells are still live (otherwise it would be passed). Now pour some vinegar on it.
Can you hear the agony of all these poor live lettuce cells?
