Why is it that people assume...

It's a nutrition pill not a nurturing pill damn it.

One way soluton to these kind of problems.

Get used to it.

If they serve the wrong side, MAKE them switch it. Simple enough.

The one thing that you loose by giving up meat is primary protein, fats, cholesterol, Zinc B Vitamins, iron and phosphorus. Which can be found in ample source of tree nuts and dry beans. your argument is credible but so is mine.

But meat is more TASTEY! Winning argument.

Jerk. I couldn't get my parfait because of you.

Yeah I've read about veggie diets that should be able to be a good replacement but I haven't tried them myself. But this is just another one of those topics that don't really got a right or wrong.

That is a matter of opinion.



As I said, I'm not going to bash someone for eating meat, I used to be almost carnivorous in my diet and I neared 300 pounds in weight. I decided that I had to do something and slowly changed my diet, I started by cutting the fast food out and then all together meat. Poultry and fish. If it was genetically designed ot have a face with a mouth eyes and a brain, I won't eat is. though I do from time to time consume dairy products. I'm a vegetarian not a vegan.

Indeed, not all meat is so tasty..
Depending on the meat even I may dislike it

Jesus told me it's a matter of facts =( Well, ok, not All meat.

Matter of opinion is if you prefer beef or pork. Tastyness of meat is a matter of fact. Even the meaty taste is called internationally "Umami" (orginating from Japanese "umai", or that's what my anathomy proffesor said, whose skills in japanese are unknown to me). People who don't find meat tasty have deffected tongues. Not a fully scientific arguement but works for around 6 billion people.

I'm not a religious person so your fact is null and void. Don't bring religion into this, it's gotten off topic as it is.

I'm not religious either, Jesus is a friend of mine.

+1 on OP

I'm an overweight vegetarian, so people assume a lot of stuff about me too. People have pictures of emo gurrls and skinny fags in mind when talking bout vegs, I'm not really offended by that because nobody's completely free of stereotypes but whatever.

Umami is the 6th sense of delicious, it's not anatomy it's psychology and to be honest your anatomy professor can go shove his head up the ass of a cow or pig and then say if it's tasty or not. It's a mater of opinion, not fact, Taste varies from one person to another. no two people are going to eat the exact same thing and say that it taste exactly like the other tasted.

I'm not going to bash someone for eating meat but don't push your or others bullshit opinions off ass fact.



I never said that I'm not over weight, I've stated that I have lost weight since I've gave up meat. go re read what I said, I mentioned that I've lost about 40-50 pounds since I've done so. I'm still considered overweight by most people.

I beg the differ, the brain's ways of interpreting taste is... well, not as bored as to check my Polish-English dictionary about some stuff you could read on wikipedia when looking for information on those tiny things on the tongue.

On another note, you amazed me. I actualy said I was joking and still you took my words seriously. You need to understand one thing: the number of people on our planet that give a fuck about what you eat is so small it's almost non-existent. You think we all meat eaters have no better thing to do than to seriously argue about such trival matters?

This is basically what my general response to this topic would be. It's really a matter of what is typical. You can't exactly tell a vegetarian by looking at them, and if you see a man and a woman at a table, it is very very rare that the woman would eat a steak and the man would eat a salad. At least in the US, that is. I don't know about the rest of the world's cultural views on that sort of thing. But it's just the way it goes, because it's at least 95% true.

And as for the server remembering who ordered what; in a lot of restaurants, especially during rushes, the server who took your order isn't necessarily who brings you your food. Anyone with the time to do it will generally run food, and if a place is busy enough, sometimes there are people that come in for the sole purpose of running food. The seats are generally on the ticket, but they aren't really payed attention to. So most people will ask, but in this case, because of how rare one of the scenarios is, they will assume the most likely.



I was GOING to just be a general dick about the whole vegetarian thing; but everyone else seems to have done that, so in the interest of fairness...there are good reasons for people to be vegetarians. And really, people's bodies are different, and what is healthy for one person, may not be healthy for another. Generally, whatever you feel like doing is probably ok, just don't be a dick about it.

Well, I never thought about your weight so I wasn't implying anything. Never said you were chubby or not.

As for me, lol I gotta cut back on the cheese, my weight skyrocketed after giving up the meatz.

On a side note, people who refuse to eat anything that doesn't have teh meatz in it piss me off. My little brother is one of them, every time I cook dinner he doesn't even bother tasting it, assuming it must taste like s***t because it doesn't have teh meatz in it... meh. (I could understand it if he dislikes my cooking, be he even admits it himself: "No meat? Not gonna eat it.")

Honestly being a vegetarian is a way of life, it isn't a negative one but I think your wrong about the hole healthy for one unhealthy for the other. Human beings have needs for certain things, some can be found in meat, but as found out earlier they are also found in other things.

The only thing that is different when it comes to what is healthy for a human being is if your allergic to it or not and how much you eat of it. No matter how healthy a thing is if you eat to much of it it ends up becoming unhealthy. And unhealthy things aren't really unhealthy if you limit them.

Of course there are a lot of generalizations about the health of a human being, all I'm saying is that it is not an absolute standard. There is no perfect diet applicable to all human beings. People's bodies just do not all work exactly the same.

Assumptions are just a part of of life. If there was a person that never made assumptions, they would always seem clueless and oblivious to the obvious.

But on the subject of vegeterians, I thought they were healthier until people started talking about the lack of nutrients a diet without meet provides. Especially the lack of fish, red meat isn't especially neccessary but no fish hurts the body.

Just look at the japanese - they eat meat and they are some of the healthiest people in the world. True that first-world nations consume to much meat, but lets not go from one extreme to the other.
