It's not "needless", it's fucking tasty

 

[The Black Hand]

Got to say that this poll is fundamentally flawed - there is a huge range of possitbilities between and around these options, which if I was nailed down would have to say I come into. As it is I don't come into either or any presented;

b) Go to prison for the cause/have been to prison

c) Will join animal rights/protection groups as an activist but not break the law or risk imprisonment

Gordon Ramsey is a cunt - but I have some time for him unlike a lot of twats around here.

Animal rights is the ultimate 'lost cause' it has no support from anyone outside the AR 'nutterati' personally I think people get involved in the extremes of AR because they are psychologically flawed in their relations to other humans and in relation to their own image of themselves.

Anyway I'm not going to waste anymore bandwidth or time talking about ARfash.

They are scum. Not those who choose to avoid animal products for moral reasons but the grave robbers and other shits.

This is more divide and rule, similar to that aimed at the working class movement, where 'extremists' are left to swing by the liberal left, which ultimately sows division within the progressive movement. There have always been those in progressive campaigns who were prepared to go that one bit further than what is portrayed as the 'respectable majority'. The 'respectable majority' however is a chimera, and I have no problems with those who practiced wild direct action within working class movement history. For example the Rebeccaites or the Luddites...

 

[Roadkill]

I wonder if those who've ticked the 'I'd die for the cause' option would be quite as keen to assert that if the poll were public...

What about 'womenkind' - have they?

Also there has been ethical and religious vegetarianism/veganism for a long time too - just cos it exists doesn't make something right...

 

[Nicky Cleveland]

There is no reason to eat meat, apart from barbarism.

 

[Roadkill]

There is no reason to eat meat, apart from barbarism.

And the fact that we evolved to be omnivorous.

Go and teach a lion to live on tofu...

 

[The Black Hand]

I agree, there is no reason. Meat is harder to grow and more wasteful of available resources isn't it. Or that's what I read somewhere... forget where...

Tell that to the Esquimaux.

Ok, barbarism and nutrition, then.

 

[guinnessdrinker]

Gentlemen's Relish of course!

Veggies and especially vegans cum tastes better than rotting flesh eaters apperently.

 

[gentlegreen]

I said "mint sauce", but I meant tartare.

I was a vegan for 20 years, but I now catch the odd fish (though most of them are treated very well and go back alive.)

The tartare sauce is a bit iffy as I generally prefer to avoid dairy and eggs.
I can't imagine myself eating mammals any time soon.

I suspect at some point this summer I will be making the freshest mackerel sushi imaginable - Bear Grylls style
Every sea angler should carry sushi condiments in his tackle bag

I'm told that the secret to making it taste nice is to eat lots of cinnamon. Makes it slightly sweet, apparently.

I've not found a gentleman to try this out with yet, though.

Why do you need telling?

Just look in the meat sections of any supermarket. You don't think all that meat comes from 1 little animal do you?

Wild animals manage to do it OK.

There's "no reason" to eat crisps or chocolate either, people have this odd habbit of eating things just because they like it. The decadant bastards.

Anyway, when you think about it, farm animals exist in symbiosis with human being anyway. If we didn't keep them for food, they would die, since they aren't fit to survive in the wild. It's only fair that we get to eat their flesh once they're not using it.

I think Attica was speaking energetically-wise . .

Can we barbecue you when you're dead?

 

[In Bloom]

Can we barbecue you when you're dead?

If you like, it's not like I'd notice.

Though it'd be mostly gristle and bone anyway, so I wouldn't reccomend it.

Not really seeing the relevance though.

 

[Jonti]

Do people really still think there's such an unbridgeable qualitative difference between humans and other animals?!

That's really rather quaint (barbaric, but quaint)

Meat eaters = closet creationists.

I like that.

That's not even a little bit retarded, well done.
