Forums >Health and Nutrition>Current vegetarians on RA?
Ugh. Your girlfriend was trying to follow the diet of her choice and you worked on her until she caved in to your desires?? What if she had been following weightwatchers or some other diet? Would you have worked on her until she cooked tons of fattening foods for you? Sorry, but that doesn't sound very respectful.

veggies on the run
I'll try! But can you see my point at all?
For the record, this thread has convinced me of only one thing: the main reason never to become a vegetarian is that it makes you very, very grumpy and oh so serious about everything. Again, see Sgt. Hulka. I'm backing out of the thread now. I know you people are ornery cuz you're hungry, and my thigh bone is probably looking good right now. Enjoy your veggies. I have to go club a seal.

No I'm not but I eat mostly vegetables, fruits, egg whites and low fat cheese. I can't imagaine giving up cheese or fish. I limit my animal meats the same reason I limit my enriched flour, is too that too much is not that healthy. I wished I like tofu, I tried once, maybe you have to prepare it just right? obsessor, I agree the processed factory meat tastes much different. The difference is very drastic. I thought the difference was feed lot animals eat more corn than grass, but who knows what else gets thrown in the grinder at the factory. I grew on on a farm where we raised Angus cattle, chickens and hogs. The animals were well taken care of, plenty of green grass and fresh water. I would even spray the cattle with cold water from a hose during the heat of the summer. The eggs were picked fresh everyday, each individually examined, washed and sold at the local grocery store. The chickens were not eating their beaks off like stated in the book "Skinny Bitch". The idea that the land could be could for other agriculture purposes is not true. Corn and wheat prices are an all time high, I know this because I own farm land that I rent out. Farmers want to make money, and if the land can be farmed it is. Pasture land is usually only good for cattle. I respect vegetarians but don't believe everything you read about the treatment the animals receive.
obsessor, I would like to introduce an animal activist to my 17 year old horse. He has a bum leg and is in pain. Use to be old horses were sold for slaughter and made into glue. Glue your kids can use to make nice art projects. Now my only choices are letting him be in pain, haul him to Canada (too expensive), or dig a pit and shoot him. In this case it was the animal activist that is being inhumane. Maybe I'll try the tofu again.
