Vegetarians = Morons

[Pete Cash]

I eat too much meat I know that for a fact. I should try and go vegetarian for a few weeks and see if I can handle it.

 

[Twizzle]

I have a lot of vegetarian meals, basically because they taste so good.

Same. The salad i make for lunch pretty much every day is awesome. I work with a lot of females who always comment on how good it looks and healthy etc etc then they go out and get KFC or some other horrible sh*te then wonder why they are getting fat.

I don't have any weight issues but i can't find anything as nice to have at work for lunch, being a healthy option is just a bonus.

Also in the warmer months it's mango, watermelon and lychees for breakfast, again as a bonus it's a healthy option and f**king awesome at the same time.

It wouldn't be so bad being a vego, although i eat a lot of seafood and do enjoy the occasional steak so it's not for me.

As do I, and I enjoy vegetarian burgers. It was a health thing at first, and then I realised it was very tasty.

but artichokes are disgusting

We're only supposed to have meat in one meal a day and then...if it is red meat..it's supposed to be the size of your palm...

hahahahaha....chances of me ever adhering to this are less than zero

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

When I do my weight loss diet, I do the meat the size of a palm thing but that is 3 times a day with veggies. Then I have 3 "snacks" of meat between 50g-100g. Works extremely well, and feel much better than your more traditional weight loss diets.

 

[adamkungl]

today i ate a meat pie for breakfast. chicken sub coming up for lunch. probably have pasta with prawns or chorizo for dinner.

Regarding SGL diet I assume that's a high protein diet low fat which works for some people

I'm sure Cliffy can give us a 5000 word essay on the matter

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

That's right Twiz. Basically the body cannot store protein as it can fats and carbs, and reverts to ketogenesis (burning fat instead) for energy production.

I am sorry but if my brother was a rapist he is still my brother. I guess it is morally correct of me to kill Raider 69 cool and then it is morally correct for one of Raider_69s family to kill me and so on.

I only said murder, Raider 69 brought rape into it as one of his person murder points. If your brother murdered his kid it would be right for him to kill your brother and not for you to retaliate, otherwise if would be neverending as you said.

But something being natural doesn't matter to humans. it isn't natural to fly to the f**king moon but we did that. If someone wants to take advantage of the fact we really don't have to eat meat so f**king what.

I wasn't the one pushing thing being natural being what we should do. I just used the word that was stupidly used in making my point.

Omnivores are also herbivorous on that logic lol

..........yes. Your point? Are you actually serious here? :lol:

 

[Tommax25]

Good for you, and applying the situation i mentioned, how would your child be sleeping after being asaulted in such a way while you are in prison?

Pretty ok considering they wouldn't be having nightmares about getting raped by that bad man again.

It's not stupid to avoid weighing up all relevant factors when deciding upon whether or not to satisfy your lust for revenge?

Sounds pretty stupid to me.

I did. Its still right.

It's very relevant, could you actually do it since you obviously feel so strong about murdering others being just?

Irrelevant.

 

[Tommax25]

Anybody who willingly eats a kebab, quarter pounder or cheeseburger is a moron.

At least Tofu doesn't make you cholesterol higher or clog your arteries.

wtf? Those things are delicious though!

 

[Cliffhanger]

You shouldn't have red meat more than once a day. But you can have both a red meat and white meat in the same day.

You shouldn't have more than 60 grams of protein in one sitting as anything more will go to waste, up to 60 is fine though. You should be having protein with every meal though, not only does it help repair your muscles but it keeps you fuller for longer. You should also have vegetables with every meal. You need to get at least 25 grams of dietry fibre into your body every day.

Unless you're bulking, you should only be having starchy carbs after a workout (this is breads, rice, pasta, oats, quinoa etc). Also unless you're bulking up this should be whole grain starchy carbs like brown rice, wholemeal bread and pasta, and quinoa. You don't want to fill your body with empty carbs.

I try and get 40 per cent of my calories from carbs and 20 per cent from fat and 40 per cent from protein. That works well for me, but everybody is different, you should find a diet which helps you achieve your goals which is healthy. Everybody will need a different level of macronutrients.

Its also not ideal to eat maccas all the time. At the end of the day plenty of people are vegetarian for a variety of reasons. A lot of Eastern religions like Jainism, Buddhists and some Hindus don't eat meat. So there are about 300 million vegetarians in India alone based on religious observation. I am sure they are doing ok.

Is there any evidence that vegetarians live shorter lives or suffer more health problems ? I just had a quick glance if anything meta data suggests they actually live longer lives (but that could be from a host of reasons)

Socrates was a vegetarian and that was thousands of years ago. Its not like this is a new and magical concept. Humans have been going without meat for thousands of years and they seem to be doing at the least no worse than meat eaters as far as health goes. The ideal human diet is occasional meat imo and we as a culture eat far too much meat especially red meat. That is going to be worse for a person than going without.

If we are taking our dietary advice from religions we may as well give up now :lol:

I was making a point, if they want to say anybody who eats tofu is a moron I can reverse it. At least those foods are terrible for you.

Also taste is subjective, so your point is moot.

I don't find that stuff delicious, macdonalds is the least appealing food I've ever seen, and white bread tastes like rubber.

Last time I had a kebab I nearly died because of all the f**king preservatives in the meat and sources. I had one of the worst allergic reactions I ever had.

More people would like the taste of Maccas than tofu. Way more. Possibly too much more.

This child wouldn't have nightmares about what happened because you killed the person responsible?

Do Psychiatrists of the world know this information as well?

And more people Justin Bieber sold more albums than Hendrix, but we all know Hendrix is more than a trillion times better.

People's taste is f**ked.
