And as far as vegetarian diets go.....what about the level of pesticides that are being found in the fresh fruit and vegetables at the moment. So, it seems to me that however we try to improve our health by diet there will be some survey or other that will tell us that we are doing the wrong thing.

I am going to eat the food that appeals to me the most.....life is finite, it might as well be enjoyable.

Maybe its the pesticides that are the problem not the meat.

Here is a thought if a potato can grow roots a carrot top planted produce another carrot and a pea another plant does that mean these plants are alive when put into a pan or eaten raw? At least my meat is dead at the time of cooking.

Hehe By the way you keep asking it looks like you have something lined up to say, depending on the answer he gives. To be honest thou nobody really has to disclose any personal feelings on any matter if they so do not wish, well not here anyways. But it would make a good topic for another thread.

I myself am probable like most folks, I eat the lot. I eat meat, fish, vegetables and some other stuff.

... Fruit is the other stuff in case you are wondering.
I have never really been persuaded one way or the other. I simply enjoy what I eat. Farming and slaughter houses, out of sight out of mind. Others may think I’m ignorant but that’s me.
Doesn’t seem to matter what you eat these days some scientist will tell you it’s bad for you.

I do enjoy eating meat, and I have visited the slaughterhouse. I had to go during my nurse training in 1989. It did not put me off meat at all.. Many would say that it is equally cruel to eat fish, despite its nutritional content.....

You could easily argue the way fish are killed is cruel. Dragged out of the sea by the hundred and left to die on the deck.

Just to close this forum: I wasn't always a vegetarian And I have eaten my fair share of steaks on the Barbie, but my wife and I gave up for maybe differant reasons, we first started off just by having a meat free day then it turned into two and so on. At first it takes a lot of thought how to cook a meal without using meat. but now its quite easy and it opens up your cooking skills, like I have said previously I not knocking anybody for eating meat and I can sit next to anybody tucking into a thick steak. maybe I was just trying make people more aware of the Cruelty Involved in todays
Meat industry.and maybe next time, someone out there might think do I really need bacon on that pizza. If I was going to eat meat again free range would be be the way to go.
And Garanda I personally don’t believe in animal Experiments and convince otherwise,

Lol, were you too weak to finish the sentence or spell my name correctly?

Well tie to a stake and flog me for that simple spelling mistake, Garanda Giranda who cares. Have you got your proof yet.

What makes you think that just because you started this thread and because you are losing you can now close it down!

If there were no slaughtermen I for one would be prepared to raise and kill my own animals.

Just coming on here and quoting a few extreme facts from some veggie site does not make you right, vegetarianism is not the way, the light or the glory.

For every so called fact that you give us I can probably find ten good reasons for sharpening my carving knife and turning you into Sunday lunch! (come to think of it that won't work you seem to be a bit of a cabbage and I hate vegetables).

If you ever get the time visit Church Kirk right next to the gates there is the tomb stone of the man that started the vegetarian society, he died in his forties, hardly a recommendation for a healthy lifestyle is it?

It more likely is caused by that piece of gristle between your ears!

No I respect your right to be a vegeatarian, it was just that the last sentence of your post didn't make sense and ended in a comma?
I do think the title of the thread was a little inflamatory though, meat stinks just as much as cabbage, though the stench of cabbage tends to linger for longer than that of meat.
