Why the fuck are you quitting eating the greatest thing ever in meat?

If you really want to start eating like a Rabbit then you better get the supplements in as you body needs the iron, vitamins, carbohydrates and protein that you get from meat.

Look at this for glorious site:

This carnivore could gorge himself in there.

I heard vegans/vegetarians will be missing important nutrients from meat

Nah, only thing is shit like B12 and this is easy to get these days

No you will need supplements.

Your body needs things like Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Iron, Zinc and Omega-3 to stay healthy.

Go and Google/Yahoo Vegetarian/vegan supplements and see for yourself.

Tonight for dinner I will be having a nice meat sausage and french fries.

why should i? i dont think i should, i just do. it's unnecessary, and i feel bad about it, so might as well accommodate my conscience. ethically sourced meat is primo dinero, and that still doesnt sit right with me, so it's more prudent for me to just switch it up

I was a vegetarian for 10 years. I recommend Quorn chicken nuggets if you can find them. They're so good that I still eat them after having gone back to being an omnivore.

They're made from an edible type of mold, btw. I didn't even know this when I started eating them, thought it was soy or something.

yooo these look tight

ill try em at least once. do they break the bank?

Hope it works out for you.

it'll be fine. i did full vegan for a month or two a few years ago, just to see how doable it was. shit's easy even if i miss a lot of the food

plus its a really good excuse to make and try stuff i ordinarily wouldnt

I eat meat and its indeed natural, the problem is how humanity has industrialised it.

No you will need supplements.

This is completely false. As someone who takes facts seriously, you should be better.

???(blackguyfacememe)???

I was a vegetarian from 14 to 26, because the girl I was dating at 14 and 15 was and thought it was morally right.

They make some good meat substitute these days so you should be fine.

Some good stuff:
El burrito soyrizo
Qourn plant based fish fillers
Amy's veggie suasage
Beyond meat ground beef
impossible foods Impossible burgers
Daring foods chicken

All I Remember but check it all out if you want. It's so much easier with so much variety today.

Weirdos so quick to say he needs supplements just cuz he's not eating hotdogs anymore. He said vegetarian not vegan.

Look at this for a gorgeous sight:

Look at that gorgeous steak dripping in butter. Add some mustard and you have the perfect meal.

To everyone calling me a liar in needing supplements I have been onto Google and Yahoo and look what I found:

https://www.vegetology.com/blog/do-vegans-and-vegetarians-really-need-nutritional-supplements

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=do+vegetarians+require+supplements

Alternatively, you could also eat red meat about once every six months. It doesnt have to be all or nothing.

All of TCs threads are about them feeling bad for something that there is no need for them to feel bad about.

You've proven yourself to be an insincere fearmonger and a supporter of an environmentally unsustainable food source: beef. And your cited sources are wildly inaccurate. You can do a quick Google search and find several more credible sources that counter those. The closest actual problem would be with B12, which would only be a problem if you're a vegan, and TC says he's going vegetarian which still allows for eggs and dairy. Even if you're full vegan, seaweed and other plants can provide B12 so...yeah, enjoy destroying yourself and the planet because you love beef more than people or the environment ( >_>) Again, be better

I see a poor little vegan cant accept the truth that a Vegan/Vegetarian diet is bad.

Lets point some things out if we all went Vegan/Vegetarian.

• Look at all the extra farmland that would be needed if everybody ditched meat and went Vegetarian/Vegan.
• Look at how much more water would be need to irragate those new fields. Much more than the meat industry could ever use.
• Look at how much more pesticides and fertilizers would be needed to keep these crops free from pests. Pesticides and fertilizers that would pollute the air and get into the water table.
• Look at how much more pollutants are being pumped into the atmosphere by all the extra tractors and Combine Harvesters that would be needed on those new fields.
• Look at all the extra Diesel pollutants being pumped into the atmosphere by the extra trucks needed to deliver all those fruit and veg to the factories or shops.
• Have you ever seen a process salad being made? Look at how much water is being used by those factories to clean and chop those friuts and veg and it will be even more if everyone was vegetarian or Vegan.
• Look at how much plastic is used in the friut and vegetable industry to package those processed salads. I have even seen indivudual friuits wrapped in plastic. Think about how much more would be used if we were all Vegetarian/Vegan.

You Vegans do not think about any of that when you go on your high and mighty rants against people that eat meat.

Oh and Antropologists reckon that it was our eating of meat that gave us our big brains and high intelligence.

Also look at the lists of the most highly intelligent species on Earth and you will notice something and that is that they are either Carnivores or Omnivores.

So we would be destroying the planet worse if we all went Vegan/Vegetarian.

Are Dungs veggies?

First off, ad hominem attacks prove that you don't actually have a good argument about the issue, especially if you feel the need to personally attack me before you even start. Very pathetic on your part. Second, I'm not even a vegan, I just don't like your fearmongering propaganda. And with that, your points are so lame that I'll just state the obvious about the first one: cows use up way, way more farmland than vegetables.

And here's an actual credible source to explain that to you: https://ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets

I'm not sure how someone could be so misinformed.

when you're so hellbent in trying to prevent someone from trying something that is genuinely better than the alternative.

imma freeze it. i used to do that back in the day when i had my old place. i would stow it in like a 3 gal tupperware in the freezer

What about it makes you feel bad?

Why do people get so mad if one doesn't eat meat?

I had some cauliflower from an Indian restaurant yesterday that tasted like some sort of Chinese chicken. Sweet an sour a little. I was surprised because while cauliflower is good it really tasted like some sort of Asian chicken dish. Mmmm

Some of the points on that list by Cassandra are either wrong or the meat industry leaving would even itself out like arable land.

Roasted cauliflower steaks, finished in the pan with a ton of butter can be really, really good.

Not as good as meat, but easily good enough as a change up every so often.

If somebody gave it to me without telling me I'd have assumed it was chicken. Too much sauce and seasoning on it to clearly notice the florets clearly

thats so badass

Quorn is the best vegetarian chicken I've ever had. They're about the same price as real chicken.

There's a lot wrong in your post but let's start going through it all. The first being that it takes around 7-8 years of feeding crops to a cow to slaughter it for enough steaks to feed like a couple dozen people for one day. If everyone went vegetarian, we'd use much less land and irrigation and not more.

The meat industry is the second biggest climate pollution contributor after coal. It's literally worse than oil.

Thousands of gallons of water again used over years for cows to drink and wash the fields out of shit far more wasteful than produce. Additionally, lots of produce can be sold without packaging, but meat can never be sold without it, so you will once again still use less plastic if everyone went vegetarian.
