Why do meat eaters hate on vegans so much//??????????????//?
Dude, are you vegan people even reading what you type before you press submit?? You who are so quick to say that "the meat eaters" like to bash the vegans because they are jealous that they can't do it themselves etc. - YOU ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING you say that us normal people are doing towards you guys You're just as bad yourselves, then! You have to stop generalizing like that. Take me as an example. I LOVE animals. I think they are more beautiful than the humans in many way. But there is no way in hell I'll ever stop eating meat. I love meat. I understand that it isn't good for you if you eat too much of it, but I believe in a balanced diet. Me eating meat, doesn't mean I don't care about the animals either. It doesn't mean I don't have big respect for all living creatures, and that I am always grateful and secretly thanking the animal that is giving me a healthy and good tasting dinner to eat. By saying that "the meat eaters" are jealous at you, and insulting us - me - is just so disgusting of you. How dare you? How dare you say I don't care? .. This is why some of you vegans piss off "the meat eaters". You seem to have a habit of doing that when you start preaching about it. Stop trying to force your belief of what's right and what's wrong on other people. Stop trying to make us feel bad for eating meat - 'cause it'll never work. One thing is to educate, and allow the option for others to join you to always be there. But don't you DARE insult me because I am doing what my ancestors have done for god knows how long, and what I think is healthy and the most correct thing to do.
The argument of most of the vegetarians and vegans is that they are ethically superior, because they respect other animals and don’t want to kill them just for the sake of their taste buds. Most of them think they are right because they base their argument on outdated science of life, where it was assumed that plants are incapable of feeling pain, they have no nervous system and are not intelligent blah blah blah etc.Many recent studies have shown that plants have a system analogous to our nervous system based not on neurons but ions. Plants do feel pain, they feel threatened and they secrete chemicals to defend themselves from predators e.g. humans. They also tend to alert other plants by spreading certain chemicals in the air. They have complex societies connected through roots kind of a social network.This is just the tip of the iceberg ! We are just beginning to understand plants and even now it seems that they are intelligent beings with sense of fear and pain. Based on these new research and understanding of the plants, what we can conclude is that the people who believe veganism is superior because they don’t hurt others is not quite true, instead, I would want to rephrase it by saying, veganism is just not hurting the living beings whose scream can be heard by bare ears and whose blood is scary red like theirs ! Killing and hurting beings whose blood is transparent or at least not visible to human eyes and whose scream is beyond the audible range is justified !
Why do vegans think they are better than meat eaters?
Any vegan that's been in a basic biology class knows we were meant to be omnivores. I've met only one vegan, who was online, who truly believed we were herbivorous creatures. Personally, I think our need for B12 proves we evolved eating meat. Aside from that, we have characteristics of both herbivores and carnivores. Things like our intestine length- in between totally herbivorous and carnivorous creatures. No one has ever accused me of thinking I'm better or superior- half my friends don't even know I'm vegan, if they ask, I answer their questions in what I hope is an un-insulting way. I do not own any t-shirts, and the only one regarding vegetarianism I've ever seen is "BEEF: the West wasn't won on salads" on some guy at the beach. Just because we disagree does not mean we think we're better. We think that we're right, or else we wouldn't follow the lifestyle. EVERYONE thinks they're right. But imo just because I look at things from a different perspective doesn't make me better. For example, I'm agnostic and I go to a Christian school. When they pray, I stand up with them. I sit through religion class, never say anything rude, occassionally answer questions. Respect for my beliefs is really important to me, and I know I won't get respect if I'm disrespectful to other's beliefs. That would make me an enormous hypocrite, wouldn't it? Mutual respect, even though people will inevitably disagree, is the only way to live without day-to-day conflict. I would also like to point out that stereotyping everyone in a group- whether that group relates to diet, religion, gender, or ethnicity- never is a wise decision. I guarantee I'll be able to find an exception to any rule you make up (Unless they're something stupid like 'Africans have dark skin' or 'vegans don't eat meat' :)) I have met snobby meat eaters, snobby veg*ns, quiet, loud, sad, cheerful, annoying, obnoxious, awkward- we're all people, and we all have different personalities, and our diet doesn't change that. I would never spit in anyone's food. If I had an issue with their food, I would tell them to their face. That's cowardly, disgusting, unsanitary, and extremely rude. My family eats meat and dairy every day, and I would never dream of doing that to it. Gross.
Should vegetarians eat more than meat eaters?
No, of direction we don't. We merely use the word 'meat eater' to indicate the main distinction in eating regimen between vegetarians and non-vegetarians: the non-vegetarian eats meat. he or she is consequently a meat eater. that below no circumstances implies it relatively is ALL he or she eats. whilst in comparison with somebody who in common terms eats uncooked nutrients i'm a cooked nutrients eater, yet that doesn't mean I under no circumstances devour salad or fruit. by employing the way: the 'worry' of determining precisely what you are able to desire to devour as a vegetarian is frequently very much exaggerated. it particularly is particularly the coolest same worry a meat eater has. you do not perceive that as a worry considering you have been taught the easy nutrients communities and the thank you to combine them as a newborn, and you are able to now do it needless to say with out plenty theory. when I grew to develop right into a vegetarian that develop into an adjustment, advantageous. yet interior of a few months understanding the easy nutrients communities and the thank you to combine them to get all needed nutrition with out eating meat got here as needless to say because it had when I nevertheless ate meat. I take not extra time determining what to devour and what groceries to get than I did whilst meat develop into nevertheless a factor of my eating regimen. All it particularly is in common terms slightly background on vegetarianism by employing the way. merely dispelling some myths, not attempting to get you to bypass veggie.
A vegan diet CAN be the best diet to meet the daily nutritional requirements and upper limit intakes for a variety of nutrients and food components. We are all encouraged (check out the latest USDA recommendations) to eat 5–7+ servings of fruits and vegetables, with 30+g of fiber and to limit saturated fat to 10% at most (which is 15g give or take on a 2,000 calorie diet). If you also take into account daily needs for vitamins like E, C, A, minerals and trace minerals you basically have a healthy vegan or very strict vegetarian diet.Vegans that do their research and eat in this balanced way will get very close to these markers without even trying and therefore feel more energy, get sick less often, have clearer skin, better digestion, etc. It is possible to have tons of energy and still eat animal products, but it would have to be limited to very small amounts 2–3 times a week at maximum and the average omnivore considers meat/dairy to be their main source of protein, calcium, iron, fat and calories and therefore goes over the limit of saturated fats and ends up eating less fruits and veggies.There are great sources for vegans on how to eat the right way, try Vegan Health Home Page and NutritionFacts.org | The Latest in Nutrition Related Research .
Why do a lot of meat-eaters think that being vegetarian is a sacrifice for...?
I agree with Mona (and others) who have commented that vegetarianism is not something you're born with; it's a choice, a lifestyle, and a series of habits, acquired over many years. In fact, it's comparable to speaking a certain language, or subscribing to a certain religion. Every child, every-where, is born a "clean slate". By virtue of their humanity, every child is equipped to learn any language, just as they are equipped to consume an omnivorous diet (or to develop their own set of religious beliefs, etc etc etc). In the case of language (for example), a child will learn to speak the language/s predominantly spoken in the household. For most of us here in the USA, that's obviously English. Likewise, if a child is raised in a vegetarian household (or in a Catholic household), the child will adopt these things as "correct", and retain the "values" they have learned---often, forever. It is no more acceptable for me (I am an omnivore) to try to "talk you out of" being a vegetarian, than it would be for me to try to get you to convert to my religion. If you are an adult, you have a very clear sense of your beliefs, values, etc (so do I). An hour of badgering by someone telling you "meat is good!" isn't going to undo a lifetime of learning. BTW...I have friends who are vegetarians, as well. And I do tease them about it, but not because I think I can "convert" them. Just because they're my friends, and I like to pick on them (they do it right back at me, too).
Haha, what does this even mean?Do you do what you are told by people you disagree with? Across the board, vegans have very different ethical outlooks that omnivores. Vegans are also viewed as arrogant or pretentious; perhaps because some feel the need to convince others why they should consider veganism. Put it this way. If you are not of the schema that eating meat is bad for the planet and torture for the animals you consume and someone tries to tell you it is, you may feel guilt. Then push back. Or just feel irritated.As someone who has been vegan for 6 years, I have wondered about these things many times. Now I err on the side of compassion, both for the meat eater and the sentient beings I choose to eat. I wont engage with someone unless they initiate otherwise it is a waste of energy.
Most people eat meat. Most people also love animals, or at least are outraged at cruelty to animals. This is a serious contradiction, and creates what psychologists call “cognitive dissonance” - two contradictory beliefs are held at the same time. Most of the time, this conflict is veiled by social or cultural responses which offer vague and nebulous myths about “humane” slaughter or the lack of animal awareness. Vegans offer a challenge to these convenient responses to the dissonance - even without making a single argument, just meeting a vegan can inspire a totally disproportionate reaction. The fact that the vegan has chosen to reject the cruelty puts meat-eaters on the defensive, since they see that they have chosen to be pulled in two different directions, and that is painful!
Meat eaters, according to present knowledge of the metabolic processes, other conditions being equal, are more likely to age faster than vegans or vegetarians, although the latter may age fast if a dietary abuse occurs (too many dairy products).Other conditions being equal means that calories, carbs and fats are kept about the same. Meat eaters tend to eat more protein, with an high content of leucine. This is a factor which tends to overamplify the mTOR complex activity. mTOr protein triggers a metabolic cascade which, as a whole, tends to quicken ageing, being favourable to proliferation and growth and unfavourable to manteinance and repair.So the answer is YES, under determined conditions.Of course a frugal meat eater who eats lots of vegetables and fruit and other plant-based food may age slower than a vegan who commits daily dietary abuse
