The operative phrase is “too much”. I agree that “too much” is bad. Now let’s talk about what “too much” is.

[TimSkalaBim]

fatal for the animals involved. Those are straight facts, indisputable and proven through years of study.

Of course this is disputable. The animals involved likely would not exist but for their meat utility. Nature did not come up with domesticated animals, mankind did. And what a life domesticated animals have, compared to their wild cousins - all the food they can eat, clean water, shelter - health care! - protection from predators. And in exchange for all that, after a while they give themselves to their providers, completing the circle. Seems pretty fair for a creature that can't read a contract.

[Red Badger]

Sure there is.

If it’s raining outside, we don’t eat on the patio............

[NorthMountain]

Eating too much meat is bad for you, bad for the environment, and fatal for the animals involved.

One out of three is pretty good for a batting average. Kinda sucks anywhere else, though ...

[FreedomPoster]

If God hadn’t intended for us to eat animals, he wouldn’t have made them out of MEAT!

And no, I vil not eat ze bugz.

That’s climate-minded seating.

[Mr. K]

WRONG!

I have never been healthier than when I went to an all fresh meat and veggie diet.

Even raised my own chickens (yes, the eggs really are that much better)

[Red Badger]

If we didn’t eat them, predators would..................

[Jamestown1630]

I used to know a woman who would make a big display in nice restaurants (in front of the whole dinner party) telling the waiter that she was a vegetarian and asking if they could ‘do something for her’.

Then she’d go to a cookout, and eat hot dogs...

[ShadowAce]

I am a STRICT vegetarian.

However, some of my vegetables are pre-processed....

[Red Badger]

We have our own chickens, too..............

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Fatal to the animal I'm eating is the ONLY part of that they got right.

And a good thing too.

Do they actually want me to cut off parts of still living animals and eat it?

Rocky Mountain Oysters is the only case I know of where we do that and many people consider that kind of icky.

[Gen.Blather]

“Do you know of any carnivorous people who will suddenly speak up and announce they eat meat?.....”

Uhm...”I love the French. They taste like chicken.”

[Red Badger]

I am a Second-Hand Vegetarian.

Cows eat vegetables.

I eat cows.................

How can you tell if someone is a Vegan?

You don’t, they tell you.

[NorthMountain]

"Eff" her?

No ...

Not a good idea.

She be craycray.

I don't want my kids' mom to be a lunatic.

[dfwgator]

[Red Badger]

It’s a good thing, too.

That way I know not to invite them to a cookout.................

“ How can you tell if someone is a Vegan?

You don’t, they tell you.”

Gays do the same thing.
