I consider beef, pork, fish, and chicken to be vegetables.

11/2/2006 10:07:59 AM

Let me explain the meaning: A non-serious and pointless feat. For example, being a vegetarian for the purposes of saying you are, not because you really care about being serious about it, or that it will provide you with any real benefits. If this confuses you, please contact the NCSU tutoring center.

ya, its futile to be healthy.


what are all those doctors thinking

11/2/2006 10:17:44 AM

Fool, it is futile to think being a vegetarian will make you healthy, by design.

Any further questions about life and it's confusing web of codes should be directed to your mother.

These days, chickens are grown much like produce.

They've genetically engineered them to where you just have a big lump of meat that grows in a pen with no head, and all of the organs are clumped together, so that when they are ready to be processed, you just pit it like a peach. It's very convenient, cost effective, and tasty. Plus, it allows me to still be a vegetarian, since it's really not the same as an animal at this point.

^ You are a fucking moron.

11/2/2006 10:22:26 AM

That's perfectly fine with me. After all, you don't matter.

11/2/2006 10:32:50 AM

ya most of the chickens being fought would be tested in labs or slottered for food anyway. so these people not only save the chickens lives but they give them something to live for. they trun death row chickens into heroes and the money they make keeps meals in the belleys of childrens.

So, I guess that's why the American Dietetic Association thinks that a vegetarian diet is healthy and can help prevent some major diseases?

Quote :

"Position of the American Dietetic Association: Vegetarian Diets (1997) Scientific data suggest positive relationships between a vegetarian diet and reduced risk for several chronic degenerative diseases and conditions, including obesity, coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and some types of cancer. Vegetarian diets, like all diets, need to be planned appropriately to be nutritionally adequate. POSITION STATEMENT It is the position of The American Dietetic Association (ADA) that appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful, are nutritionally adequate, and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Studies indicate that vegetarians often have lower morbidity (1) and mortality (2) rates from several chronic degenerative diseases than do nonvegetarians. Although nondietary factors, including physical activity and abstinence from smoking and alcohol, may play a role, diet is clearly a contributing factor. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, November 1997, Volume 97, Number 11"

Sometimes the vegetarian diet IS unhealthy-- namely, when dumbasses decide to go vegetarian by cutting out meat AND NOT REPLACING IT WITH ANYTHING. So, those people run into all sorts of health problems and claim that they "just can't be vegetarian. I got so anemic! I just have to have meat in my diet!" So, then they tell their freinds this and people start to believe that vegetarianism is inherently bad for you because some dumbass never payed attention to nutrition basics in their PE classes.

It makes me so ANGRY.

11/2/2006 11:43:28 AM

"Vegetarian diets, like all diets, need to be planned appropriately to be nutritionally adequate."

Yes, and all the crucial details are left out, nutrition, diet, and exercise. I'm saying people that don't eat meat, and think they will be healthy for it simply by design are lieing to themselves. A vegetarian diet requires a lot of protein supplementation, it's not the end all and be all cure for your health.

"Fool, it is futile to think being a vegetarian will make you healthy, by design."

Don't be that fool.

This is a good segue for me to proclaim my undying hatred of fat people.

Hey fatties, die!

11/2/2006 11:46:23 AM

^^ Ok, I'm with you now.

I've been a "pesco-vegetarian" my whole life, and although I allow myself to eat fish, I don't eat it often at all (in fact, I didn't really eat fish until I was a teenager) and mostly get my protein from beans and soy-based products like tofu and "fake meat" formed products (fake burgers, etc). And I eat a good amount of nuts (lol). I am really very healthy, not overwieght, and I rarely get sick (like, once every 1.5-2 years). It works because I get everything my body needs to operate optimally. Then there is my room mate who told me that he couldn't be a vegetarian because when he tried it he was tired all the time and got severely anemic. I explained that he still needed to get a balanced diet and have been helping him transition into that... he's almost completely veg now and feels fine.

11/2/2006 11:57:35 AM

I can't be a vegetarian because meat is too goddamn tasty to give up.

11/2/2006 1:10:26 PM

If you're not a vegetarian , then you should have no problem with chicken fighting! It's the same thing. ^You are a very confused individual.

a speller couldnt make it through high school much to say college. typing fast is an art. if a few letters out of lign give you a problem then i question your reading ability

You are not one of them.

i actually find it quite the opposite. and dont forget these animals fighting would most likely have been killed if it wasnt for their owner.

I really have to say, "thanks" to eveyone who contributed to this extremely amusing thread.

I really needed a break and a good laugh, and this time TWW really came through for me.

Where else can can there be posted a simple non-chalant request for chickens, procedeed by several (plausibly serious) responses, only to be followed by a dissection of vegeterianism, only to be followed by the inevitable denigration of 'mildly retarded' ( i loved that one ) posters for their spelling errors.

I love how almost without fail, spelling error insults is where all arguments go to die when people run out of steam or I suppose have nothing else to say, I just can't beleive that the 'tactic' never seems to get old.

Anyway, I really mean it, thanks eveyone! Somoen should seriously write and perform a skit of this...

11/16/2006 3:52:47 AM

i agree, it would be very funny

11/16/2006 8:21:13 AM
