| When vegetables start tasting like bacon, steak, and chicken, and provide me with the nutrients to keep my manly muscles, manly muscles; I will go vegetarian...probably. The animals might have to start talking in human speak too. Not just mimicry because I will still eat a parrot but I mean if I can sit down and have a nice talk with an adorable baby penguin then I won't want to eat it...probably. |
| I don't. (vegetarianfag here, pescetarian if you want to be accurate) I just... don't... like it. It's always been that way, and I'm yet to change back. I have my lame reasons, I'll usually get trolled for it irl either way |
| I like meat, I can watch my food growing and therefore don't get influenced by vegetarian propaganda...and it's only natural to eat meat |
| Because it tastes good and has a rather unique flavor basically. I do dip into various meat substitutes occasionally but honestly nothing beats the real thing. |

Neiru2012 said: Unless they can make a meat substitute that comes from a living creature, I doubt that would be possible for my part.You do realize that the actual purpose of this thread is for people to describe specific things they like about meat because the person who started the topic wants to create a better meat substitute, right? |
| I've been having moral issues regarding meat for a while, but I couldnt image myself becoming vegetarian because I liked it so much. But one day I asked myself, what IS it with meat's taste that I like? I realised that I find it pretty tasteless, the meat I like is always seasoned and it's the spices I liked, rather than the meat itself. So now I rarely eat meat anymore and I don't miss it! and I feel so much better than I did before. |
| I'm honest but you got to watch me a little |
| I like meat because I am human, and humans are natural omnivores. If a subsitute could be made that tasted EXACTLY like meat, that'd be great. But I really don't think there's a complete substitute for flesh. Not yet anyways. |
 |
| Lol at the retards earlier who thought bananas were high in protein. In fact, protein is the number one nutrient missing from the average vegetarian's diet according to health specialists. Sure they can get protein from milk, nuts, lentils, etc but a lotta people don't eat that stuff or nearly enough of it. |
 life is a dream ~death is reality |
| 1) You don't have to eat meat, there's no magical nutrient that only exists in meat. 2) It's more environmental friendly if we kill off the meat production. 3) I eat meat because it's what I'm served. |
Mr. Wonsworth, you may NOT eat my scones! |
| Mostly the taste....but meat from where I live is pure shit... so hard to bite D: |
xXnagashiXx said: In fact, protein is the number one nutrient missing from the average vegetarian's diet according to health specialists. Sure they can get protein from milk, nuts, lentils, etc but a lotta people don't eat that stuff or nearly enough of it. This really isn't an argument at all. As you said, it's easy to get protein in a vegetarian diet if you're eating right. Meat has virtually no vitamins and much less minerals than you find in plants, so a non-vegetarian tends to be low on many more nutrients than the average vegetarian if they avoid fruits and vegetables. Both camps can be perfectly healthy if they watch what they eat, but remember that the foundation of any healthy diet is an abundance of fruits and vegetables with "meat" (and non-flesh protein sources) in considerably smaller amounts. Link for those of you worried about your "manly muscles" without meat. |
| the more endangered the anime the more delicious it is |
| Meat is beautiful. |
| Animals taste good. That being said our bodies are hard wired to crave fats, sugars, and salts, rare naturally occurring substances. Also eating meat along with vegetables keeps you much healthier than a pure vegetable diet. |

| Meat is muscles. So I like that my meat lets me move my arms and legs. And walk around and stuff. It lets me play guitar and use a computer and all sorts of nice things. I am really grateful I have meat. |

meat is everything,its so delicious ,meat is love. |
nameuser said: lol bullshit statistics are bullshit. Anyways I'm vegetarian, and it's not because of that 'oh the poor animals' bullshit, I'm vegetarian because my body just runs better off of plants than meat. Although I'll still eat shrimp, and maybe alligator(if you've never had it I recomend it), and I kinda wanna try dolphin. As the saying goes, the smarter the animal the tastier.As some of you may know, meat production is by 80% the cause of global warming(you thought it was because of cars,right?). |

I don't personally think your average human is all that smart, but from what I hear human is alright. I've heard mixed opinions on texture. But I've also heard you can get some jittery nervous disorder thing from it, like mad cow disease for people, but that's eating it on regular basis. To answer youre question though, I might, I have no morals about it, but something about them doesn't seem all that appealing, but eating human would be like a once in a lifetime oportunity.

| Be humble or be humbled. |
| It's the taste mostly but also the texture. I go vegetarian twice a month and it's really difficult sometimes because veggies and tofu don't have the saltiness of meat and nothing really has the texture of biting into a piece of meat, feeling the resistance and tearing off a piece. By tearing, I mean like the tugging I have to do with beef jerky or a steak where I actually have to use my front teeth to rip it and not just mash stuff with molars, like vegetables. I know when midnight hits, I usually go straight for a bag of beef jerky but during my vegetarian days, I'm okay with "tricking" myself with the saltiness from roasted seaweed packets. The texture's too much like a chip, though. |

| Cause its delicious duhhhh! |

| I find it funny how people who point out this statistic totally disregard the fact there's a difference between factory farmed meat and naturally grazed meat. Naturally grazed meat circulate a lot of their carbon when they're properly managed and they pump carbon from the atmosphere into the biosphere rather than the meat itself simply omitting greenhouse gases. The irony here is that livestocks actually HELP carbon levels in the atmosphere and biosphere and gives a good balance to it. The real problem is factory made meat - which quite frankly should always be monitored. It makes no sense at all to say that meat itself causes Co2 problems. |

| The killing the animal part |
 I will live on no matter what... so I can meet you once again. |
| I just think that it is really yummy. |
| I'm hungry. Also how people can think that eating this is in any way natural is beyond me.  |
| The fact I'm eating an animal. |
| Global warming is fake, the politicians just need you guys to get worked up over something enough to vote for them. And you get convinced that it's real then what? Buy a prius? That's a joke. Anyway meat tastes good, and it's just easy to throw burgers together. I love cows but it's not like i'm killing them directly...it was already sitting in a package when i saw it. |
| @Bostonblows: Climate change is a certainty, and is the direct result of global warming. Carbon dioxide from cow and pig shit is surprisingly significant (because of massive commercial farming) but really miniscule next to the output of coal burning power plants. Please check out any research not funded by people who make money polluting your air and you'll notice a surprising growth trend that just happens to coincide with the industrial revolution. I'm a big meat lover myself. Humans are made to eat it, and not having any in your diet is difficult to manage. Humans are at the top of the food chain thanks to science, and it's a natural instinct for humans to crave meat. I've been finding fish is a lot healthier than all the beef and chicken though -- omega-3 acids actually lower your cholesterol which make it a better staple food than prime steak every night (though I do love me some marbled meats). I have a weakness for jerky in all forms too. As long as you watch your salt intake and don't eat it every day, meat is healthy as anything else. |
 I am a banana. |
| And what if the climate just changes on it's own and it's just a coincidence? Maybe i'm too skeptical, but i file this right next to the 2012 crazies. |
| Everything :D |
| Ya know the planet Venus? It's a steaming acidic hellhole because its atmosphere is made mainly of greenhouse gasses like CO_2. What these gasses do is trap in sunlight, thereby heating up the planet. Greenhouse gasses are a good thing. If we didn't have a degree of greenhouse gasses in Earth's atmosphere, the planet would be a lot colder and very uncomfortable for its present life forms. However, if the proportion of greenhouse gasses is thrown off balance drastically, Earth can get closer and closer to looking like Venus. Yes, climate change happens naturally, but I don't see how it's so difficult to grasp that humans actively pumping tons (and I mean weight, not the expression) greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere is affecting the gas proportions in our atmosphere to a degree that isn't natural. This is happening at a rate that the Earth may not naturally be able to process; too fast for the currently evolved life forms to be able to adapt to the changes. This is compounded with every other kind of pollution that's wreaking havoc on natural ecosystems. What's even more disturbing than that, though, is that there's tons (expression + weight) of decaying biological matter buried under the ice caps. If those parts of the ice caps melt, it will release a catastrophic amount of methane gas (much more potent than CO_2) all at once (instead of more gradually as would happen with purely natural climate change) and could create an irreversible snowball effect in the atmosphere, a greenhouse effect gone wild. |
