Lani (2015-08-22 14:26:39)It's actually quite difficult to remain properly nourished on nothing but veggies (for this, I give vegetarians more slack since they still include dairy/eggs in their diets). Nonetheless, I honestly don't believe it's any healthier.
Surely, we (Americans) eat waaay too much meat, however the cure isn't to cut it completely out of our diet...it's an extremely important source of iron and vitamins; you'd have to be eating veggies and nuts all day long to make up for the nutrition that you're missing out on.
Both meat and veggies are genetically modified and pumped up with crap these days...you have to go to a farmer's market or pay top dollar at your grocery store for organic produce...but you can also do the same with meat. So cutting meat out just because it's commonly modified isn't a legitimate reason either. So while going vegan or vegetarian (whether you boast or not) might be a good temporary diet, it surely isn't something to brag about or advise the whole world to do.

I would be a vegetarian, but I have to eat what my parents cook, and I'd rather grow my own crops than purchase them. Organic food is expensive.
Oh yeah, I forgot, vegan hotwings suck.

little5 (2015-08-22 15:56:02)It's not that meat tastes bad, I love meat, but those factory farms are disgusting. I'd rather raise plants than raise animals to kill. Health problems also play a factor. Heart disease runs in the family.

That's not to say it's okay to do what most farms and such do with chickens, cows, etc. Feeding them a ton of steroids, killing them violently, etc.
That reminds me of when SMO posted a thread that showed a video of pigs being brutally murdered. That was painful to watch.Â

Alpaca (2015-08-22 16:57:01)then do it, Tool.. what's stopping you
I however love meat and agree yeah its just we Americans do eat too much of it but whatevs.

I also don't like how vegans and vegetarians try to guilt trip you into thinking you're a murderer. Most of the ones I've talked to try. I'm not a murderer, I'm eating protein which is an essential part of a human's diet.
BloodPrincess (2015-08-22 18:29:37)I'm a pescatarian. Hi.
I don't like meat, but fish is my friend.
i know it sounds weird, but im weird so its ok
little5 (2015-08-22 19:37:47)My dad's a vegetarian (pescatarian actually, but that's what he goes by), but not strictly. If he can't eat veggies at an outing, he eats meat, which is cool.
Nutsy (2015-08-22 21:09:32)I don't care that animals are kept in bad conditions. I don't sympathize with lowlies. I could also watch brutal pig slaughter.
The only brutal thing I can't endure well is watching someone get stabbed in the stomach.

What are your opinion on these diets, or really, its mostly the people that lead these diets.
I just hate vegs who feel the need to tell everybody around them they also need to be vegetarian/vegan...
These people also always assume every non-meat eater actually leads a healthy lifestyle.
You can still be an unhealthy fatass and be completely vegan.
Some junk food is vegan-friendly, example: Pringles.
Also, faux cheese and soy chicken and
Seriously, soy chicken is just... no hormones and less protein...
Do not argue about how veg diets are healthier when by definition a vegetarian is just "someone whom does not consume the meat of any animal" and veganism is "someone whom does not consume the meat nor the byproduct of any animal".
You've also got those weirdo pescatarian who are pretty much vegetarians but still eat fish.
Too Long; Did not Read! So many vegetarians/vegans need to stop telling people to convert to their diets. Not all vegs are healthy. Pescatarians are weird.
