So....just WHAT do you eat?
This is just one of the comments Ive been asked many times by those who eat meat.
What an ignorant question wouldnt you say? And then generally the whole entertainment seems to be meat eaters firing even more silly questions and trying to trick the vegetarian.
Do you know what? I have NEVER said to any meat eater friends “OMG what are you doing eating THAT stuff”
Of course the answer to the first question is “the same as you but without the dead bit of creature you have” Then of course comes the inevitable argument from them of how a human cant survive on vegetables and vegetable or soya protein because humans need meat.
Who do they think they are talking to? an apparition? or hologram? or what? Arnt I visible proof that a human can survive without meat? Yes I am. In fact, I would go as far to say that I am more than likely 100% healthier than any of my meat eating friends.
I started off disliking meat as a little girl. - about 45 years ago and would attempt to hide the meat. I couldnt bare the feeling of it in my mouth, the texture and it seemed like my throat closed and wouldnt let me swallow it. So I would refuse to eat it and just asked Mum for the roast potatoes and the vegetables.
When Mum was cooking a leg of roast lamb once, I remember being horrified seeing a little cloven hoof at the end of this sizzling piece of meat. Oh NO...now I can see that its an animals leg and I remember asking Mum why there were some hairs on it. I was devasted to hear it was a lambs leg. Ive always been an animal lover from a very young age and have always as far back as I can remember (”you were about 18 months old” Mum said after I remembered dialling Nanny Ellerbecks Croydon phone number and speaking to my Nanny which surprised them all at the time. I must have remembered the numbers Mum dialled when I sat on her lap. 684 1728), which is a long time ago.
A very common opinion is that we need meat for our brains to develop. No we dont. Well maybe the meat eater DOES need his brain to develop more? I think our brains are developed enough and if you think about it, all those evil people in the world - the nasty people who start wars and are barbaric - a common denominator is that they eat meat. (oh, apart from Adolf - a vegetarian - is he the only one?)Have just checked Hitler Facts he allegedly turned vegetarian after seeing his girlfriend’s (who was his neice) autopsy. She had committed suicide by shooting herself through heart. Well I suppose he ate other revolting things from time to time. Something which looks similar to the paste that macdonalds burgers are made of. I am sure however that the goats and things that these barbaric ones eat (probably raw if needs must) must have the creatures hormones in it that can turn some people crazy and total control freak bullies. Einstein was a vegetarian, well, for the last year of his life, after having always felt guilty about eating another life. And I consider my brain to be top notch. Well its fine for what I need it for.
Then there’s the teeth thing. For Goodness Sakes. How many times do we hear the meat eaters defend themselves and attack us at the same time by mentioning our “eye teeth” and how they are pointy ones and so therefore we have carniverous teeth. Hold on a minute all you meat eaters. Just a quick fact and that is, our teeth are more like that of a grazing animal. Also our jaws are let us chew our food with our jaws able to move sideways to grind food up on our back teeth as well as up and down. Real Carnivores, dogs, cats, including the big versions, they have pointed front teeth, huge eye teeth and double pointy back teeth. And guess what. They can all only move their jaws up and down and their mouths open right to the back of their jaw, whereas we all have mouths on the front and we could never open our jaw as wide either. Our heads might fall off backwards! like in a monty python episode?
The last scare of horsemeat being for sale in Findus products etc.,.I thought was rather amusing actually. And Im a horse lover. As us horseowners (well the observant ones of us) would have noticed that most of the horse wormer products have a warning label telling us that the horse meat is unsuitable for human consumption because of the wormer used and so I thought “wonder what horsewormer however small an amount(like a molecule or a few-lol) would react in a human - there must be a reason for that warning label. Hark.......I can hear a question.....”the warning lable is there just to cover themselves” and touche.......”cover themselves for what? someone getting liver sclerosis because of it.....? or dying a heinous painful death......its there for a reason. Eating horse meat is bad. Eating any meat is bad. The methods used to kill the animals are cruel thats for sure. The poor animals are herding animals with flight and fight instinct. There’s is flight. Can you imagine the terror the herd is suffering. Terrible. And its terrible just how many cows/sheep/pigs/fowl, are murdered every day. 2.6 million cattle;10 million pigs;14.5million sheep;and lambs. 80million fish; 950million birds for human consumption. Thats about 1,057,100,000 killed in the UK yearly. Divided by 12 : 8,809,166.67 OR divided how our local council divide our council tax - by ten months....I questioned them by email “why are you using the Roman Calandar? after all Julius Caesar popped another couple of months in, making it 12 months and then it turned Gregorian which it still is now? - The council would calculate at 10,571,000 per month. But we’ll forget the roman calandar that the council use. Dividing 8,809,166.67 by the number 30 to save mucking about with 30 days have november april,june and september, all the rest have 31 apart from February which has 28 and every fourth year 29. - something like that....so....the answer to my last question to myself is how many animals in the UK are murdered every day, day in day out, day in day out.....? 293,638.889 - and how much wastage for the gluttony of mankind - when they should have worked out that we can survive without the need for these daily massacres. Im not one to tell someone what they can eat however, so I suppose lets be fair and say “you eat what you can catch - by hand”
