WELLINGTON: A group of New Zealand vegans - people who do not eat any animal products - are shunning sex with meat eaters, claiming their bodies are made up of animal carcasses.
"When you are vegan or vegetarian, you are very aware that when people eat a meaty diet, they are kind of a graveyard for animals," said vegan Nichola Kriek. Another said: "I would not want to be intimate with someone whose body is literally made up from the bodies of others who have died for their sustenance."
Annie Potts, co-director of the New Zealand Centre for Human and Animal Studies at Canterbury University, identified the people she called "vegansexuals" in her research study.

I eat meat and have olive skin...but still manage to have the dark circles under my eyes.
I inherited that from my (meat-eating, non-pasty skinned) mother.

Its like the environment and animal rights. They are not inherently leftist concepts, but the movements have become havens for the far left. I never understood why the vegan/vegetarian/animal rights crowd aligned themselves with the left. Seems like their natural starting point should have been conservatives. After all, conservatives do give a damn about life..even if it's only human life. The left (by which I mean the political left) in this regard are some of the biggest hypocrites. They don't give a hoot about life, whether it's aborting their own babies for convenience or turning a blind eye to mass genocide in various parts of the world, or taking an incapacitated human off life support. And these political leftists -- the Kennedys, the Kerries, the Clintons, the Pelosis, the Edwards' and all the rest of these so called 'champions of the suffering' are some of the biggest relishers of meat. Don't the 'suffering of animals' tug at their liberal hearts ? If you ever needed proof of how phony the left are.

I have seen these people, as well. My guess is, this is just a way to deflect the fact that they don’t get a whole lot of offers....

I know! I posted pretty much the same thing on another thread. They seem to have a lack of sparkle. Even their hair looks like dull straw, and they seem to lack color in their cheeks.

As a vegetarian/vegan, I would not have an intimate relationship with a meat eater. Bad news.
I just had a big old fillet mignon.
I'm comin' over for sex tonight, and I will NOT take no for an answer.

Let's take this a sentence at a time, shall we?
Animals on factory farms do not see the sun or get a breath of fresh air until they are prodded and crammed onto trucks for a nightmarish ride to the slaughterhouse, often through weather extremes and always without food or water.
- Factory farms? No such thing, there are commercial farms, and privately owned farms, but all farms produce food.
- Farms are out doors because Buildings are expensive. (I grew up in Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois, where are you from?)
- Prodded? Maybe, crammed? Not unless you want to damage your goods, the meat packers will not pay as much for a damaged cow.
- Weather extremes... Not unless the farmer cannot reschedule, cold cuts down on his profits because the cows lose weight keeping warm, so this does not happen either.
- Without food or water, hmm, then the meat packer had better not be very far, because the Meat has to "Arrive Alive" to be worth anything.
With this first sentence more full of BS than info, i will let off a little on the rest of your post just because I tend to get verbose some times.
Many die during transport, and others are too sick or weak to walk off the truck after they reach the slaughterhouse.
No dead animal is processed into food for humans, that is what rendering plants are for and the farmer loses money big time on that.
IF they are sick or weak, rendering plant (dog food and glue), USDA won't let them slaughter them if they are sick.
The animals who survive this hellish ordeal are hung upside-down and their throats are slit, often while theyre completely conscious.
LOL This would take forever, first you kill them (so they don't fight you), then you hang them upside down and slit the jugular to get the blood out before it pools any hunter can tell you this, ask a few, you won't look so silly in the future.
Many are still alive while they are skinned, hacked into pieces, or scalded in the de-feathering tanks.
BZZZT! Wrong, this makes no sense, kill them quickly, adrenaline makes the meat bitter, a scared animal is a bad tasting animal.
Learn more about the factory-farming industry.
Take your own advice, worked for a Pig and Cattle farmer in High school, where does your info come from?
By switching to a vegetarian diet, you can save more than 100 animals a year from this misery.
LOL! IF everyone became vegetarian, we'd have to
kill all the animals for garden space, think your proposals through will you?
If you are a meat eater, you sustain this cruelty with every greasy and fatty mouthful. If your mouthfuls are greasy and fatty, you are not doing it right!
Did you know that the consumption of fats and animal products is related to intelligence and brain size? How About B12, AKA
The meat vitamin
I also looked at some Actuarial tables for Vegans Vs the Control group, you guys die sooner, just of different stuff, things we meant eaters don't get, enjoy your short life span now.

Xs touched her Dark Mark and called me for a boob consult. While Scarlett’s boobs look fake in the picture you linked, they are indeed real. I have great experience in these matters. She’s been that big since she was a teenager in “Ghost World.”

But there’s no way she was born with that mouth. Very artificial.

my point remains valid. you can hardly claim to be pure and natural and animal-free when you are submitting to artificial enhancement of your body with whatever chemicals, animal fats or artificial means that it entails.

I'd like to see the figures on birth defects, when mothers refuse their unborn children the benefits of eating meat.

She’s had big lips all along. On her IMDB page there’s a pic of her from “The Horse Whisperer” when she was 14 and she had big lips.

Interesting.
How come the deer meat we harvested is RED?
We didn’t cure it and sure as heck didn’t dye it.
Come to think of it, venison tenderloins sound wonderful for dinner tonight....
