How is bok choy raw? I was actually thinking of giving it a try earlier today.

---

I like it in shabu shabu and sukiyaki. It's kind of like kale, when consumed raw it can have a bitter aftertaste that is off-putting to some people if you are not used to it. I bet a lot of vegetarians here would like bok choy in sukiyaki with tofu, eggs, udon noodles, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and vegetable broth.

I've been vegetarian for over 12 years now with a couple, year-long forays into veganism.  I wish I could remain vegan, but it's hard.  My reasons are:  animal ethics (factory farms are unbelievably cruel and inhumane), health, environmental, and humanitarian. 

I am totally okay with eating wild-caught fish and game, but that's the only exception I make.  If people could stop eating meat we could use all that food we grow to feed the animals to just feed people, and that would put an end to world hunger.  Plus we'd reduce the epidemics of heart disease, cancer, and obesity. 

Fact.

Besides the torture these creatures have to go through so we can have these products we so much "need". Is not even natural, our demand for food is so high that not even nature can keep up with it. Cycle of life is too slow for us so I don't even know what they are eating at this point. Last time I checked there were cloning chickens with no feathers, eyes, nor beak for that matter. I have to be honest I have not been vegan my whole life, in fact very far from it. When people ask me why and all that shit they love to question, I respond: Once you know, you gotta be too shitty inside to look the other way and pretend that didn't happen.

Bashing on vegetarians is not my job, but I often ask my self what's the line between mild torture and severe torture. Unless raping cows, and keeping them pregnant so you can have cheese with your fries is totally cool in your book.

In 7 days I will have been a vegetarian for a year, I did it mainly because of factory farming and the environment, the meat industry is jacked up and it shouldn't be that way so I decided I did not want to support that, You should watch the video on meat.org if you don't know about factory farming, It kind of opens your eyes up to the fact that you have no idea where the meat you're eating comes from, if you eat meat, and if you don't it just gives you another reason to not. I would be completely open to eating hunting game, and home grown meat, I'm just not comfortable with not knowing where its coming from and how harsh it is on the environment.

I don't necessarily agree with your statement "Thekidinside"
I think there is plenty of food available to us that involve no harm, no blood, no deceases, no pain.
