Why isn't it considered a mental disorder if one wishes to deprive themselves of proper food?

What's proper food? I just don't want to eat meat because I just don't see the point of eating a animal if we have other things...That's all.


There are foods that we are designed to eat. We have K9 teeth for a reason. We were MADE to eat meat, it's in our anatomy. We are a species that needs meat, among other foods, to sustain ourselves. That is undeniable. Yes, you can take pills and other supplements, but if those didn't exist, you would die due to malnutrition.

And btw, that cute little cow is going to die regardless of whether or not you eat it.


Our bodies are also designed to poop outdoors, squatting. But we've stopped doing that.

There are people who get their protein without meat or supplements. Our bodies are designed to be versatile, not get nutrients from specific sources (that's what "omnivore" means).

I find people who use bull-blam!- to counter other people's arguments way more annoying than the people arguing in the first place.

Vegan... are they the ones who only eat small animals?

Do you know why we stopped -blam!- outdoors for the most part? Because toilets are more efficient. Most sane people eat meat and animal produce because it is more efficient (and tasty) than pills , supplements and living life as a twig with limbs.

Yes, we can poop indoors, because as you said, we are versatile. But we do that because it's beneficial to us. It's more convenient for us now.

What I fail to see is the benefit of a lifestyle prohibiting meat, and everything else that vegans reject.

wait... if vegans are vegans because they don't want to hurt animals... then why do they eat all their food?

...

Wouldn't a pill be more efficient than a slab of meat?

I'm not vegan and I don't agree with the vegan lifestyle but your argument makes no sense.

This is more efficient than this.

I'm not sure that meat is more "efficient" (whatever that means in this context) than supplements are. And I definitely know that it has nothing to do with sanity.

See, I don't like bull-blam!-. If you're going to tell me that being a vegan is less healthy than eating meat, show me. Don't just spew some bull-blam!- about it.

In some ways. But there are trade offs.

I don't know, ask a vegan. They might see benefits that us meat eaters can't. Just because you can't immediately see the benefits of something doesn't mean that they don't exist.

You can still squat over the toilet bowl if you really want to do that.

I have a vegan friend. She's nice...

Remember what Sergeant Vau told us: Eat your vegtable capsules.

This reminds me of the part of Punching Tom Hanks about how to beat up a vegan while wearing meat gloves.

I dated a vegan once. She turned out to be suicidal.

True. But most toilets (here in America) are sitting height. I would have to stand on the bowl to squat. And I would rather face some intestinal blockage than have to explain to the ER doctor why my arm is broken after I fall off the toilet bowl.

Yeah, but you can't marinade and barbecue a pill, then douse it in steak sauce. Gotta take those aesthetics into account.

Also, why do these vegan threads always seem to pop up when I'm eating dinner? Just finished off a pork chop. Is God trying to guilt trip me or something?

Efficient means efficient. Don't be a smartass (or a dumbass).

And since the word of Google is all you are able to hear; here you go: Example 1,Example 2 and Example 3. All perfectly good reasons why not being a vegan is more "efficient" in day to day life and why it is less healthy. Took me about 2 minutes to find those but as you said yourself we may be versatile but we are still "omnivores".

Also I'll have to ask whatever you post in return isn't Bull-blam!- either :)

You don't need a pill.
