Vegans! What do you think of them?

Hippies are annoying.

Hippie chicks like to get naked a lot though. And that damn sure makes me happy.

Maybe furry women turn you on but I like mine shaved and clean and not smelling of human waste and weed.

Me neither, as long as I am not expected to follow suit, and that includes having regulation and laws pushed that will somehow make my meat-eating "bad".

I don't think anyone (maybe a few nut jobs) is suggesting laws to force vegan dinners on anyone.

Not yet. But did you ever think we'd see laws that would force everyone to accept gay marriage?

For what it's worth, my views go to show that not all vegans are "pot-smoking hippies with dreadlocks" as is commonly shown in media. I'm not liberal or conservative but somewhere in between - depends on the issue. I support traditional marriage, which again proves that not all vegans have a liberal mindset.

Most of your "substitutes" for meat, cheese, milk, etc are made from GMO soy and corn products, particularly corn syrup. You might want to educate yourself a bit before committing to their consumption..

Only if you don't look around for the right things.

Indonesia has, along with a lot of other things, Tempe. (Pro, tempay).
100% vegan but all the proteins and so on of meat.
100% organic in most cases and tastes great.
I'm far from a vegan or veggie but I have to like that stuff.
Tastes great and can be prepared in a wide variety of ways.
My favourite is thin sliced and fried with a spicy sauce, then served on rice.

I suggest the OP give it a try.
Tempeh

Buddhists have come up with a lot of interesting meat substitutes over the years that aren't all that bad, too. There's a Chinese dish I have had in the past that is tofu seasoned and cooked to taste like pork. If I didn't know better, I'd have definitely thought that it was pork.

I refuse to marry a poof; I want to marry a really butch dude.
Tell me about your forced marriage to a man.

I drink a lot and have astonishingly low standards.

My dog likes to eat grass once in a while.

Then it barfs.

Grass is like doggie ipecac syrup.

I read somewhere that dogs eat a little grass from time to time to supplement their diet. But yeah, if your dog eats grass all the time, he's probably got some sort of digestive issue.

I was taught they eat it to get rid of worms.
The worms are supposed to attached to the grass before they puke or shit it out

Interesting you mention Buddhists.
Hindus have spread a lot of veggie foods as well.
Here, poverty forces a veggie diet on many but it can be pretty good.
My first Chinese girlfriend said I was too fat and put me on Chinese traditional food.
I lost 20kg in two months and felt bloody great.
There was meat in there but in small quantities.

A top quality post.

@ Gallantwarrior - Why not? It tastes good. Some people go vegan for health, others (like me) do so for ethical reasons, but still want to maintain a normal diet and feel like we can eat what "everyone else" eats. There are vegans who choose the diet for health AND morality, but speaking for myself, I did it for morality.

Good grief, do you think you can thow in "morality" or "ethical" just one more time, in case any of us are in doubt that you see yourself as just a click or two above the fray?

Maybe thats why I like meat....I dont seem to be arrogant enough to be a vegan LOL

 

[koshergrl]

I have decided it is my moral and ethical duty to try.

So Veganee...what brings you to our neck of the woods? How did you hear of USMB?

She appears to be avoiding answering that question.

 

[thanatos144]

So does being a vegan mean no oral sex?

 

[VeganMe]

"Some people eschew meat for medical reasons...but I do it because I'm a better person."

I don't think I'm a better person. I'm not one of the PETA freaks who will try to belittle anyone who doesn't eat or think like me. Live and let live. I was just explaining to you that I'm a vegan for *those* reasons you listed, not dietary.

Please refer to my thread on the "introduction board" if interested. I explain it all there.

Good heavens, how on earth did I miss that...

Off I trot.

 

[VeganMe]

Heh, no worries!

 

[thanatos144]

See I like veggies.....Mostly served on the side with a steak but hey if you dont want meat thats fine.....But to say it is a moral choice like I am somehow this immoral barbarian cause I like a burger with real cow in it is quite annoying.
