I think it's more cruel to the animal if all the meat was chopped up and we didn't eat it because a large portion of people were vegans. At least let the animal die for a purpose.
Eat all the meat.

Well if you don't care about animals there are still other benefits IME. When I went vegan I lost 15 lbs and noticed I had more energy. I don't eat junk vegan food though. I don't have any vegan friends. I just do it because I care about how others are treated. Cats and dogs are alot like other farm animals when you get to know them. I think most people would not eat meat if they had to go where the animals are contained and kill it themselves.

Whatever dude. I've been around people killing animals for food. I've helped dress, hang, and skin animals. They squeal and have convulsions after you shoot them in the head. But it didn't make me want to eat them any less. All it did was give me more respect for the butcher.

I personally am a vegetarian and I can say that becoming one is one of the best lifestyle changes I have made. I don't fully understand veganism though...why would someone want to give up eggs, cheese, and milk? All are fairly sustainable and eggs are a great source of protein.

I wouldn't have a problem with it. Honestly I'd prefer to hunt my own food rather than rely on grocery stores to supply me meat. If anything it'd only make me appreciate the animals death more, like Native Americans who basically held their prey in high regard and respect. They appreciated the animals death far more than some faceless hunk of meat put in a foam tray and wrapped in plastic.
I've also always had a very high "do it yourself attitude". I always prefer to do whatever I can on my own.
Unfortunately that's just not really feasible these days. There is hunting, but it costs way too much unless you just live out in the middle of nowhere and can do it whenever. Where I live, getting a single deer can cost you thousands and take up a week+ of your time.
If you think just because I had to kill and clean an animal myself I'm somehow going to go vegetarian, you are sorely mistaken.

I'll take this time to point you're on the same level as BC. He just got permabanned. I'm patiently waiting for the day you follow suit. He wasn't perma'd for any reason other than the fact than the he was deemed not to be worth the hassle of moderating and offered nothing to the community. I inadvertently know you've already been warned about this shit. Keep it up, you're on the same track as him.

They are not at all sustainable.
The problem is what we feed these animals. Pellets of soy. So now soy has to be grown in extremely large quantities. That costs a hell of a lot of water and surface space dedicated to monocultures.
Then there is all the methane.
And why would you even want to drink dairy? It's not like it's healthy...

BC offered nothing of value, and just troll posted and spam posted constantly. Believe it or not, mods get tired of that shit. He does the same thing. Therefore he is in the same boat as BC was. Through a misunderstanding, I KNOW he's already been warned about this shit, and he doesn't seem to be taking the warning to heart, just as BC didn't. If he doesn't stop being the annoying little pissant he is, he will soon be following BC out the door.

I grow several fields of soy. It is a highly drought-resistant plant and is cultivated in climates that get plenty of rain and soil that retains moisture, ie. such as where I live where there's a lot of clay.
No one waters soy but Mother Nature.

Deservedly so. However, I actually offer the community something. You have nothing of value to offer. On the occasions you actually don't post some stupid graem in response to the thread, it's always to say something entirely retarded.
Anyways, like I said, keep it up.

Dairy cows require a lot of water. More than beef cows. Most people dig ponds for their cows to drink, play and shit in, so whatever the real cost of water is for dairy, I am sure it is greatly exaggerated like everything else vegans use to justify themselves.
Cows graze all season except in the winter. While the grass is dead that's when they are fed grains. Very few farmers could afford to feed their herds all year round.
Soybeans will benefit from irrigation in much of the midwest climate, but this year in Ohio it was too wet. My fields look terrible from all the rain, because there needs to be a dry period to spray. That dry period never came, hence early yellowing and stunted crop.

many of the larger producers of beef feed the cows corn and not soy anyways.
government subsidized corn is the cheapest crop to grow by a longshot, and it gets them fat way faster than letting them graze on grass, so the turn around and space needed are both cut down.
with that said, there's a lot of farms doing it right, but the largest producers aren't getting rich off healthy animals.

haters gonna hate 
On average, the vegan restaurants near me are usually way better than any other near it.
there's some* plain vegan food, but for the most part, they know how to cook man.
not relying on animals fats for taste makes you get creative with spices yo

In the end it just comes down to efficiency. There isn't even enough landmass to let all cows graze. Most of them will have to be fed. Whatever they get fed (soy, corn, doesn't matter) has to be grown. Whatever is grown could also be fed to humans directly. Or better yet, more diverse produce could be grown and that could be fed to humans.

Some of the best (vegan) food I ever ate was from street vendors in Ludhiana, India. Very affordable to make a similar meal in America, but it just wouldn't have the same magic touch.

It doesn't take a large space at all to grow a completely self-sustainable garden. The average American backyard could feed an entire family very cheaply.

Trust me that gets old.
because it's a totally bogus claim.
that's an ignorant cop out at best.
eating animals is always gonna be more expensive unless you're eating dollar meal bullshit. but at that point, if you look at what what you're getting for your money, it's not cheaper.

dude, you don't know what you're talking about man.
straight up.
the custie ass "vegan this and that" is of course gonna be expensive. cause it's "cool" right now.
but all it comes down to is buying really simple pure foods man.
seriously, the shit you're buying at the grocery stores "that all has animal" product in it, isn't THAT cheap either.
you're paying for a brand name, a label, and pretty plastic packaging.
I'm pretty damn broke, and I'm in the best shape of my life, and I haven't eaten animals in 5 years.
Don't buy into all that custie vegan bullshit. it's cheap man. it's just simple raw foods.
I'm not vegan, and I'm not telling anyone to be, or not to be.
I'm just sayin you don't have your facts straight.

exactly my point.
all you have available to you at those two stores are big globo-corp kinda foods, which have packaging, marketing costs, etc. built in.
check out farmers markets. you can get better produce for often cheaper prices.
and don't be so presumptuous man, I've never been around much money.
I get by, but I'm by no means doing "well" by american standards.
edit: I just had a long discussion with my roommate, and I think it boils down to this -
both diets can be done really cheap. I think veganism is definitely healthier than the "typical" american diet, but, it requires way more time and effort.
I think it boils down to a priority thing.
do I wanna go to the farmers market to get my produce, then the discount grocery store to get rice and beans, and then the health food shop for spices after work and then spend about an hour cooking dinner, or do I wanna throw in a frozen pizza and relax on the couch?
I get it, but to say vegan foods are unarguably more expensive and tastes like crap is just an uneducated viewpoint.

Exactly.
If you shop smart and know how to season food, a vegetarian/vegan "meal plan" will more likely than not save money in the long run, and taste just fine.

I tried to not eat meat besides fish and lasted like a month. The thing that made me cave in was the fact that all the dishes that I loved and enjoyed had meat in them and resisting them to eat something else got really fucking old.
It's been shown that eating species that are less related to us on the phylogenetic tree decreases our risks of serious diseases. It has to do with the micro RNA's incorporating into our DNA causing mutations. It's still a theory but when I was in school my professor brought it up and he wasn't a fucking idiot.

You obviously already know in your heart that not eating cows, chickens, pigs, and most other sentient things or using their products is wrong. If you want to stop doing, you can stop doing it. If you don't want to do what you already know is right, then don't. The choice is yours.

Quote:
Melissotarsus weissi Kibale Forest, Uganda, among the most unusual ants. These small Afrotropical myrmicines live in narrow galleries in the bark of particular tree species where they farm armored scale insects. Melissotarsus may be the only animal other than humans to have domesticated livestock for meat production. Ants of this genus are also unusual in that the adults spin silk, produced in glands in the head, to seal the nest entrances.
http://www.antweb.org/description.do?name=melissotarsus&rank=genus
Quote:
Armoured scale insects can only disperse as first-instar crawlers, becoming sessile at later stages. Therefore, the establishment of a Diaspidoid population within the galleries might be realized only if the crawlers moved into or have been introduced to the galleries. Based on current knowledge of this mutualism, we speculate that the ants appear to be a major active participant. The ants introduce the armoured scale insects into their galleries, maintain and control their populations. Ben-Dov (1978) suggested that the scale insects are eaten by the ants. Mony et al. (2007), based on their observations, confirmed this interpretation. The Diaspidoid partner is confined to a closed habitat in which the ants almost entirely control and maintain its population. The benefit to the armoured scale insects appears to be mainly, if not only, the protection from natural enemies.
http://www.entsoc.gr/volume19b/2010-45-53-Ben-Dov%20and%20Fisher.pdf
Not sure what kind of actual documentation of the ants feeding on the bugs has been made, or if it is still only a hypothesis because alternative food sources are not to be found though.

The dog doesn't know how that steak got there. As a human, you are capable of knowing how that steak got there, and of making the decision not to eat it.

I like how everyone thinks their meat has to be from poor sources and raised and killed inhumanely. I get my meat from local butchers that source from local farms. The meat is a lot better than the big box stores and it's relatively the same price. A little more expensive but its more nutrient dense so I still get just as satiated. I choose to eat meat because it's the most healthy nutrient dense option for me.

i wish more people cared enough to go through local smaller farms.
I don't eat meat but I also don't think that diet works for everyone.
I'd be so much happier if the giant farms were just taken out, and a smaller, more manageable amount of livestock were raised humanely.

I hate how vegans look down on people for eating meat. Human beings are omnivores, we're meant to eat meat and plants.
Tigers eat meat too so that mean that tigers are evil? No tigers are meant to eat meat and so are humans. I don't have a problem is someone's a vegan but I hate those vegan extremists.
Also how could anybody give up bacon or steak. I don't get why ppl get all butthurt anyway. The animals would do the same to us if they had the chance.

I am not vegan myself but I think you are missing the point. You don't have to torture a cow to eat it. You can kill and eat a cow in a much better way
Given the resources we have we dont NEED to put these sentient beings in cages. A tiger has little chioce. Comparing yourself to a tiger is almost degrading yourself because we have free will and choice to a level that tigers dont

OP should become a vegan so he can date vegan chicks and that's a good thing because their vaginas taste better than meat eating women. That's science right there bitches. In fact I am willing to prove I can taste the difference, I just need some volunteers for the experiment.

I am basing it on the one vegan I did taste and she tasted excellent. I am willing to do this comparison for science though.

If you become a vegan properly you will greatly reduce Ypur risk of cancer and heart disease and stroke and overall risk of death from major illness.
If you go vegan you won't have the guilt of being part of systematic animal torture and obscene animal suffering on a massive scale.
If you go vegan you will have better karma.
If you go vegan I will give you five shrooms.
If you go vegan you will be living a more spiritual life in the Hindu, Buddhist, Jain sense.

It def helps spiritually IMO with my practices. And if you don't want to go vegan, I would suggest just shopping ethically. No creature deserves to be totured like that...
