How about cat - the other white meat?

I got one question for vegetarians: if every person on the planet were a vegetarian, would there be enough vegetarian food to feed everyone? I believe the honest, factual answer to that question is no. And BTW, all of you out there that think eating meat is a sin, the Bible says that Peter, an observant Kosher Jew, was told at a certain point that ANYTHING can now be eaten. (See reference below). So if you weenies out there lose sleep because someone ate a hamburger this evening, the Almighty doesn't share your dietary requirements, thank goodness.....

ACTS Chap 11: 4 Peter began and explained everything to them precisely as it had happened: 5 "I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. I saw something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to where I was. 6 I looked into it and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air. 7 Then I heard a voice telling me, 'Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.' 8 "I replied, 'Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.' 9 "The voice spoke from heaven a second time, 'Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.' 10 This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.

This should be distributed to every pediatritian, school administrator and school child in this country! That's where the PETA crowd has made the biggest dent.

Excellent post!

I'm not totally opposed to eating vegetable matter. Beer, wine and whiskey are ultimately vegetable matter.

Thanks for the article. I'm filing it for later reading, so I have ammunition against the vegan (Chevy Vegan?) froot loops next time I run across 'em.

Thank you for this article; took my printer 20 minutes but I am so glad to have a copy. After a lifetime of trying to live with little meat so I could extend my dancing and running career, ill health put meat and basically a low carb diet on my plate and I am the leanest and healthiest of my life and running 50 to 70 miles (albeit slow miles) a week. If meat kills, I'm a goner! THanks again!

I don't eat meat because I'm a Veterinarian........

[Nik Naym]

Know what makes a militant in-your-face style vegetarian go into apoplexy? Just ask them, in a serious tone "If we aren't supposed to eat animals, then why are they made of meat?" Torques them off every time.

They should try the Atkins Diet. I lost around eighty pounds and have never felt healthier on an ALL MEAT DIET!

Good post.

I don't give a hoot if someone wants to be a vegetarian or not. I tried it once, (for dietary reasons) and enjoyed it, but I like pork too much to have lived on it forever.

However, there are two times that I hated disliked 2 different people because of their vegetarianism. Both times, I was with a small group who were going out for a Chinese meal --you know the kind, where dishes are shared. (I take my Chinese food very seriously, and ordering a balanced meal is an art.) Well, we were ordering, and a voice pops up and says "I'm vegetarian!" It threw everything off! To accomodate one person (who didn't want to order her very own thing) we had things most people didn't want, just so she could have a taste of everything.

Why does it seem as tho most vegetarians are female. The ones that I know are mostly female.

Bump!

BTW, a deficiency in B-12 can cause M.S. and M.S. like symptons.

I read a story recently (I think it was on freerepublic) where a guy had calculated how many field mice are killed per acre plowing the land for growing vegetables. Ha!
