I agree, I am also a vegetarian and if you eat sufficient other food products, it will become easier after a while :) I am a vegetarian since I was 12 and I don't miss it a bit. It is too cruel how animals are kept and treated... and that was the main reason why I became a vegetarian.
I only eat chicken cow and Pig, I don't eat things like deer etc.. I still LOVE aniamsl, I just happen to eat meat. Vegetarianism, is a political statement!
The health stuff isn't necessarily true. I'm not a vegetarian but I do have a terrible diet, and the main problem foods are vegetarian. You also cut out fish which is immensely good for you.
Counterpoint: Meat tastes good, and while I'm with you on treating them well and making sure they live comfortable lives, that's not going to stop me from eating them and using their skin to cover the seats in my car.
Saying eating meat is ok because it tastes good, is like saying rape is ok because it feels good to the rapist. Don't worry, the women the rapists rapes are always treated nicely, he even knocks them out with sleeping pills first so they don't feel a thing.
@Super2nd Some things you can't change without being a dictator and overruling the wished of a majority. Small changes can make a difference. My uncle-in-law used to raise rabbits to sell or eat. My cousin used to take care and play with them until they were killed. The killing couldn't be stopped no matter how much my cousin begged, but they didn't suffer until the moment they had to die. To me it does indeed make a difference, because as long as they were living, they were treated respectfully.
I'm a vegetarian most of my life. I will be vegan in the future but it's a gradual process. Being a vegan isn't just a diet, it's a philosophy and a lifestyle.
Mangos aren't very expensive at all. Expensive fruit are things like apples that have to be imported. And lamb is very cheap. Merino lamb is quite cheap.

@TheClevelander I love people, but I just murder them sometimes. That's what that sounds like lol.

So you've just got your head so far up your own ass that you think your taste buds are more important than an animals life.
I agree with 3. The animals could and should be treated much better.
So that we can eat them respectfully? lol

That's noble ! you have my respect.
What an idiot. "No body doesn't like meat"
@djvtech anyone talkin shit about sir charles is the real idiot...
Dumbest shit I've ever heard. No kidding he is only good at basketball, and nothing else lol.
I mean if we wanna make it about health and ethics you're better off being vegan. Vegetarians are basically the half-assed versions of vegans.
I've read only: “Why being like me is better”. And then I’ve stopped.

But you need the energy in meat. It's hard to get energy from other food. Also, it's too expensive to be a vegetarian.
WTF? If you had any idea how to shop you'd know that is not true. premium fruits like mangos dont cost as much as crappy meat.
Mangos aren't very expensive at all. Expensive fruit are things like apples that have to be imported. And lamb is very cheap. Merino lamb is quite cheap.
LOL someone never read the calories on a can of nuts.
@Ad_Quid_Orator 1. Nuts don't come in cans. 2. Nuts are expensive.
I don<t know I single vegetarien/vegan who does not have health problems. vegan often get bone problems.
i see you are an Aussie. The downside to being a vegetarian is it is somewhat expensive with fruit/vegies being ridiculously expensive here
If I didn't just eat a hamburger I'd fire one up right now.
Meat is kinda expensive here. So yea.. I rarely eat it.
I love chicken nuggets a lot. But I agree, we should be more careful with our nature.
And more meats means more calories... I try to be vegetarian but failed any advise for me?
exercise
I don't really need you telling me what I should and shouldn't eat. I don't tell you what to eat
Also, most vegetarians I know, actually went back to eating meat, LMAO
Vegetarians are fake to me
I agree 100%, great Take 👌 😎 👍
Easier to clean the stove
I'm having a burger for lunch 🍔
Good take but I love meat.
