Vegetarianism

"

An easy meal or snack you can make is with soft tofu (if your not familiar with tofu it usually comes in firm medium and soft)

Put some soft tofu in a container and add some frozen berries, strawberries blackberries, cherries ect... I take that to work with me and later in the day when the berries have thawed and the juice mixes with the tofu. I mash up the tofu and stir it until it looks kind of like yogurt it's delicious.

Got a favorite fruit? You can eat a ton of it as a meal....I'm talking 8 mangos or 15 oranges. After a long workout I blend 6 frozen bananas mixed with fresh orange juice.

Also one thing that took me a while to figure out is that people don't need that much protien. If you ate nothing but fruit every day you'd get enough protien from the fruit assuming your not a body builder or some other type of athlete that needs huge muscle bro! To build large muscles you need a higher protien intake but to live a healthy life without lifting (like say your a runner or cyclist) fruits and veggies provide enough protien.

What you just described is what turns off most people on being a vegetarian, many dont want to eat tofu or prep it to eat it and neither do people want only fruits and salads.

So glad there are alternatives, otherwise it would be really hard. :/

Im people and I like fruits and salads.

Personally I don't like all the fake vegetarian nuggets and cheeses but to each their own.

Each to his own. I understand not eating meat for health issues. I do not understand the ethical part. In this world, almost everything we use, is being crafted in Asia by kids and adults who work 15 hours per day for a few cents, on the worst possible conditions. If was not spoiled, i would boycott these products, but i can't, i am too used on my confortable life. There are so many people that are being treated worse than animals, in order for us to enoy the luxuries of western civilization, and multinational corporations to get richer and richer.

K, but what does that have to do with anything? Why does kids working in garment factories in Asia mean that you should eat meat? I'm not trying to "convert" you or anything, but you gave a reasoning that doesn't seem very solid.

Also for the second time this thread: I live in Cambodia and have done for over a decade. Clearly the concept of giving up a few luxuries here and there isn't new to me.

I do not give a crap about killing pigs and cows that were specifically bred to be eaten.

How about if they weren't bred to be eaten? Would it make a difference? If so, why? Do you apply the same logic to gorillas and dogs and all other animals? If not, why not?

Yep, so glad that there are a bunch of alternatives that you're about to share.... thanks so much (in advance >.>) :D

Hmm,k. I 've had many heated arguments with so called vegeterians, that have every single piece of shit Apple has ever launched, they wear lui viton bags and so on, you get the picture, but they looked at me like i was a subhuman cold blooded murderer for not supporting their ethical vegeterianism. To me looks hypocritical to take a stance over animals rights, while completely ignoring that the biggest percentage of human population lives under poverty, but they choose not to do anything about that. It is like priorizing animals over humans. Of course this does not mean that automaticly every vegeterian is not also concerned about other issues and not doing anything about it. I was talking mainly about the chick in the corner who is so concerned about the poor cow brutally murdered for my pleasure, while she does not seem to give a crap about eg.US slautering thousands for oil, or Apple forcing inhuman labour to indian workers, or medical companies using actual humans as lab rats.

Now that i am done with that, in my own personal opinion, it is OK to kill any animal for food, unless it is endangered. I view humans as carnivors. This is controversial but it is my opinion. I used to find it disgusting and unethical that people were eating dogs. I do not anymore. As long as it is not endangered anything goes for me. All i care is better living conditions for humans.

I always disliked the oversensitivity people seem to have about animals, and ignoring what is happening to actual humans. I still remember a viral youtube video, where a US marine threw a puppy dog off cliff in Iraq. The issue became huge and people were really i mean REALLY mad. Well news flash! You remember what other thing that guy did over there? THat is definetely far worse? Weak Up.
