- Meat's no treat for those you eat, save the animals
Go Vegetarian, you won't regret it.
Best veggie food I've ever had was in Govinda's in Dublin city, check it out (:
On average a vegetarian saves 100 animals a year, and just by being vegetarian we reduce our carbon footprint by 21%. The number of non-meat eaters around the world has greatly increased and will continue to grow, the harsh and cruel treatment of animals in slaughter houses is something that vegetarians will simply not stand for!
Vegans rock too
Being veggie is hard, and does require will-power and probably parents permission but it's so worth it and you get used to it really fast, if you know how to eat properly and look after yourself then you'll be perfectly healthy and happy; what do we eat? Beans, pulses, lentils, all sorts of lovely veg, tofu, meat supplements - Quorn, soya protein, nuts, dairy, eggs(if you're not vegan), bread, anything that was not a living, breathing being among you and I.
Smile (:

21 REASONS for being VEGETERIAN

Vegetarianism is the fastest growing trend in the developed world. Here are 21 reasons why you should think about turning green too.
Avoiding meat is one of the best and simplest ways to cut down your fat consumption. Modern farm animals are deliberately fattened up to increase profits. Eating fatty meat increases your chances of having a heart attack or developing cancer.
Every minute of every working day, thousands of animals are killed in slaughter-houses. Pain and misery are common. In the US alone, 500,000 animals are killed for meat every hour.
There are millions of cases of food poisoning recorded every year. The vast majority are caused by eating meat.
Meat contains absolutely nothing - no proteins, vitamins or minerals - that the human body cannot obtain perfectly happily from a vegetarian diet.
African countries - where millions are starving to death - export grain to the developed world so that animals can be fattened for our dining tables.
'Meat' can include the tail, head, feet, rectum and spinal cord of an animal.
A sausage can contain ground up intestines. How can anyone be sure that the intestines are empty when they are ground up? Do you really want to eat the content of a pig's intestines?
If we eat the plants we grow instead of feeding them to animals, the world's food shortage will disappear virtually overnight. Remember that 100 acres of land will produce enough beef for 20 people but enough wheat to feed 240 people.
Every day, tens of millions of one-day-old male chicks are killed because they will not be able to lay eggs. There are no rules about how this mass slaughter takes place. Some are crushed or suffocated to death. Many are used for fertiliser or fed to other animals.
Animals who die for your dinner table die alone, in terror, in sadness and in pain. The killing is merciless and inhumane.
It's must easier to become (and stay) slim if you are a vegetarian. (By 'slim', I do not mean 'abnormally slender' or 'underweight' but rather, an absense of excess weight!)
Half the rainforests in the world have been destroyed to clear ground to graze cattle to make beefburgers. The burning of the forests contributes 20% of all green-house gases. Roughtly 1,000 species a year become extinct because of the destruction of the rainforests. Approximately 60 million people a year die of starvation. All those lives could be saved because those people could eat grain used to fatten cattle and other farm animals - if Americans ate 10% less meat.
The world's fresh water shortage is being made worse by animal farming. And meat producers are the biggest polluters of water. It takes 2,500 gallons of water to produce one pound of meat. If the US meat industry wasn't supported by the taxpayer paying a large proportion of its water costs, then hamburger meat would cost $35 a pound.
If you eat meat, you are consuming hormones that were fed to the animals. No one knows what effect those hormones will have on your health. In some parts of the world, as many as one on four hamburgers contain growth hormones that were originally given to cattle.
The following diseases are commoner among meat eaters: anaemia, appendicitis, arthritis, breast cancer, cancer of the colon, cancer of the prostrate, constipation, diabetes, gallstones, gout, high blood pressure, indigestion, obesity, piles, strokes and varicose veins. Lifelong vegetarians visit hospital 22% less often than meat eaters and for shorter stays. Vegetarians have a 20% lower blood cholestrol level than meat eaters and this reduces heart attack and cancer risks considerably.
Some farmers use tranquillisers to keep animals calm. Other routinely use antibiotics to starve off infection. When you eat meat you are eating those drugs. In America, 55% of all antibiotics are fed to animals and the percentage of staphylococci infections resistant to penicillin went up from 14% in 1960 to 91% in 1988.

SAVE THOSE POOR CALVES LIVES
What was her name... this turkey...
before she was defeathered?
What was her soul?
Was she shy or was she bold?
Did she struggle or cry
when she was killed?
Do ecoli and salmonella
and leukosis grow now in her rotting flesh...
as she in Spirit
hovers above the table?
Will the evidence of the crime
remain... in wishbones
... or will all the evidence
be consumed.
turkeys give thanks to vegetarians.
ME AGAIN!
). You're obviously not eating enough, and blaming the veggie thing as an excuse!
Lmao
Ok, I'm still veggie. Despite the attempts from my parents to make me non- veggie again.
I thought I'd just say to 'Beth Barnes' that you must be taking the whole veggie thing wrong. I haven't lost a pound since I've been veggie (183 days now
Who else watched that 'Inside The Worlds Giants' or whatever it was. I saw the Giraffe one. Yeah, the Giraffe died naturally, but was it really necessary to cut it up into millions of pieces purely for a TV show? Nothing actually came out of this, they could of made a 'reconstruction video' thing to show what it looks like without the actual thing being there. If it was a human who got cut up for a TV show WITHOUT it's consent, there would be hell about it! Yes, I know animals can't speak, but thats not the point I'm making.
I better shut up now
xx
I was a veggie for a while.And I want to become one again, My dads all for it but my mum isn't
She said she'd rather me be a pornstar 
God I hate Nestle....
Oh, so you think animals don't suffer, hmmm? What proof have you got? We, in society, see the nice, clean cut, animal slaughtering....but still, would YOU like to be taken from your brothers and sisters and electrocuted? In many slaughterhouses in eastern Europe cows are beheaded, upside down while they are still breathing. Read up a thing or two, or watch a video before you comment, yeah?
Well considering cavemen had no idea how to sow seeds, how on earth would they know that meat wasn't the only alternative apart from the occasional berries and nuts?
It Was All They Knew.
hi people, it'd be great if you could PLEASE take a look at our group and help stop some of the 1.5 MILLION deaths of infants worldwide each year through inappropriate feeding...
and also make a stand against the testing of "beauty" products on animals...
thanks! xxx
I wants to become a Vegatarian, but I love chicken((I'm sorry chicken)) Other than that VEGGIES!!!! And if I became a Vegitarian, by parents would stuff meat down my face.
"Screamin' Jay Pearson"

they don't die instantly and they do feel it. you obv have no idea what you uare talking about. so i don't thik you should comment on something you clearly don't no/understand.

MEAT IS MURDER
ma cuz has been a veggie all her life and is abousolety fline well if fine is crazy which she always has been but i was crazy before i was veggie
"harsh and cruel treatment of animals in slaughter houses"
So that's why the animals death is instant and they dont feel a thing. Seriously, you're all a bunch of fucking tards. How long has meat been eaten? ever since fucking cavemen worked out they could beat the shit out of an animal then eat it. Now it's "wrong" to eat meat? Wrong to breed for the purpose of eating meat? That should make it wrong to eat veg, as you may well know plants take in CO2 and release oxygen, and then they still need to be transported the same as animals so you're doing jack shit to bring down your "carbon footprint"
heya , i came a vegi last year and i am so much beta knw , do ya nt think dat u loose a lot of weight i do and i av neva luked back , poor animals , wot did they do to every one eles xxx
Thank you Jade, Finnally someone other than my friends and I have relised hat the human race isn't head of the game. If you watch a slaughter house video and you watch the part were the pigs get stunned by a volt. You can see that they know what's happening, thy're picking it up pretty fast so dont say theyre dumb, your the retards humans!
*Reads other comments*
ANIMALS ARE NOT FREAKING DUMB!
HUMANS ARE NOT THE ULTIMATE RACE!
Argh.. sorry but it really grinds my gears.. animals should be treated the same as humans. It is proven most animals are as, maybe more intelligent than humans.

I'm hoping to stop eating fish soon.. but I thought it'll be better for me to start off cutting out meat, and then cutting out fish.
104 DAYS NOW
And btw, rocketdog. You don't need to eat Quorn. And don't get the cheap tescos versions.. they're disgusting! But according to my veggie book, most things have protein in it, and you don't need your alternatives.
*Peace*
xx
Whoops!
More luv. I'm gonna try go vegetarian. Kernimal showed me these REALLY disturbing videos. Most of which I turned away at. So yeah. I'm kinda off meat. QUORN FOREVER!
veggie/vegan love for ya! xx
why do people like hipsy n big dave who eat meat come onto pages like this n spout purile crap? if you wanna eat meat then eat it, we dont have to hear about it. i dont go onto meat lovers pages n say " mmm, i love the taste of quorn etc"...f*cking grow up n talk with a bit of intellect (if that's possible for you to do!) soooo childish, sooooo boring!!!.....oh rocketdog, good luck to you. you can get quorn in tesco n asda to name but 2 places n its not expensive as most people will try n tell you. your mum probably thinks she's doing what's best for you. try n talk to her n explain your feelings n if she serves you up meat, just dont eat it, she'll get the message soon enough. all the best....
Wait a go rocketdog!
