Meat just tastes far too good to give up. I can't see any appeal in vegetables; most of them smell awful and taste of either nothing or plants (A taste which I've probably come to associate with sneezing & mucus -.- THANKS NATURE).

Mm, I'm not sure how accurate of a ratio the Escapist will give, compared to the world.
But aren't a lot of religions, such as Buddhism, Janism, and Hinduism, pro-vegetarian? Of course, some sects and schools still eat meat, but it seems that they really support the idea. And I think they're all in the top ten most populous religions.

I already have an iron deficiency, and will fast become anemic if I don't eat more meat. I refuse to take supplements. Besides, I love meat. What's a barbeque without meat? And barbeques (and beaches) are the only bearable parts of an Australian summer. Ergo, I would die without meat. That kind of non-logic works out in my mind. I would become a vegetarian if meat wasn't so good. I feel bad about eating animals, but not bad enough to stop.
I'm very much an omnivore. Pork, beef, potatoes, beats, herring, salmon, blood bread. A varied diet is the key to a healthy life. I tend to have allergic reactions to most fruits, though, so I'm a bit lacking in that department.
That being said, I do think that most western people probably eat more meat than would be optimum. I can't say I'm likely to improve my own diet any time soon though, except maybe eating fish more often.
Out of curiosity, how do you vegetarians react if you're the guest in the house and meat is served? Do you decline or accept?

The only reason they can exist in this time is because of science and advancement in drugs and what not, in a natural setting there is no way to live like that...
And to live in a way that in nature would cause one to die is not a way I personally would want to live.

Thought about it.Ossian said:
No birth control, massed food shortages and one of the shortest life expentancies in the industrialised world. How many of those vegetarians are vegetarians by choice and how many are vegetarians through poverty?
Anyway I have thought about going veggie, but I would miss bacon too much. I also used to live with three evangelical vegetarians who never, ever used to shut up about it. Although I can see the moral argument for it I have never had an objection with butchering animals, I know where the meat I consume comes from and I'm okay with that.
If it has 2 or 4 feet ill eat it...
Perhaps for the exeption of dogs and cats... And yes I know that pigs are smarter than dogs and sooo on, but dogs and cats are cuddely-wuddely!
... Besides dogs and cats are carnivores, and thoes tend to have an unpleasent taste :/

If I were Vegetarian, then I would start starving, which I can't being a Diabetic after all. The only things I like that Grow are Banana's (which I hardly can stand), Salads, Tomatoes if it's a paste and Potatoes if they're Julian. However, I do know that being Vegetarian is very healthy for you and all that mambo jumbo.
People who are that poor will eat anything they can get their hands on, including things like vermin. Hard to imagine it for us people who can shop in supermarkets but fresh fruit and veg are actually sort of a luxury in terms of dietary choice for many people.fix-the-spade said:
