Smug vegetarian on "Come Dine With Me"

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Yeah, I was wondering not only where the hell all this is going on, but how does anyone know what the naked people are eating?

Maybe things are different here, but I'm thinking if I ever saw a naked person, say, in the produce section of the Piggly Wiggly, I don't think my first reaction would be to say "hey, so, are you going to be stopping by the meat section at any point today?"

I mean, I think that would just be a little forward.

Don't forget the Vegan women, and how it seems their thing is to prance around naked where ever they go.

Why is this a bad thing? The more naked chicks the better IMO

[RecoveringKinkoid]

So, Violetyoshi, how do you know they are naked where ever they go? Do you follow them where ever they go?

Man. It must be so boring here in SC.

In the winter, they'd catch their death! XD

I watched the episode again. I still want to smack Ray. XD

What's a Piggly Wiggly?

[RecoveringKinkoid]

The Pig is a grocery store chain in the south.

I will believe a Vegan actually cares about animals when they refuse to kill any. Their farming machines kill animals too. Their farming destroys the natural habitat of animals. They probably swat flies or kill spiders like everyone else (I have seen some that have done so in front of me) When they stop doing that stuff then I will believe they actually care.

It really about not harming as much as possible. Noone's perfect. And those farm machines do indeed kill a great deal on critters, but some of that food being harvested goes on to feed meat as well...nit just a veg lifestyle.

I have more respect for people who raise theie food, be it animal or veg.

Yikes, OT and I need to actually work.

[jackfaire]

What do you consider to be not harming?

(To Everyone)

I dislike when a vegan says, "I am vegan because I am Buddhist"

Actually, the farm machines used to harvest grains for 1 vegan's consumption kill over ten times as many animals as are killed for 1 carnivore's consumption.

I don't see the 10 times mentioned in that article. I know growing crops kills animals, noone will deny that.

I'm sorry I diverted the OT, I didn't mean to.

http://www.animalvisuals.org/data/1mc/ is a different view on how many animals are killed.

But to get back on topic, any one who is snug and rubs their beliefs in people's faces is a jackass, and makes anyone else in that "group" look bad.

(last off-topic comment: I so want to visit a Piggly-Wiggly. No idea why, I just need to see one)

[Lace Neil Singer]

My article didn't have the ten times; I should have clarified that I was backing up his statement about vegetarians/vegans causing animals to be killed.

And that applies to everyone, in any group you could name.

I've tried my best, but I can't make any sense of this.

What is one comparing to get to this "10 times" figure? The amount of grain one ingests in their daily diet? Do vegans eat ten times the amount of grain as a carnivore?

Even if we knew that to be true, it still doesn't make a lick of sense. It presumes that cows, chickens, and pigs - the staples of an American carnivore's diet - spring fully formed from a vacuum. But of course they don't.

They are raised. On grain.

Beef cattle will eat on average about 60 pounds of grain a day. That grain is grown and harvested using machines, too.

I've looked pretty much all day, and I remember seeing the 10 times figure, but I can't find it any more. Might have been a misremembering, but I do know the figure was that grain harvesting kills more animals than intentionally killing animals for meat, *and* the meat goes to waste in the former case, instead of being used.
