Meat Vs. Vege

[athena]

I want to know how many of us here are vegetarian and how many of us can't live without out meat...hehehe

[alfred98]

We human are not herbivorous.....so give me some meat!!!!:D

[athena]

haha..so far ACSians all carnivarous!! :laugh:

[Fishingman]

For me no need to ask-lah.... muahahahahaha if I got gun I'll probably be like Anson's dad and hunt wildboar as well.
Vege ok-lah if not how to have proper bowel movement? Eat coz have to eat-lah but I'll take fruits more than vege.

[athena]

oh course must hv balanced meals mah...

but then again, how long can you go without meat? hehe

[bizzi]

if we didn't eat the animals on the planet, they would overbreed and eat up all the greens, and then the vegetarians would have nothing left to eat...

i say i'm doing the vegetarians a favour..

I EAT COW!!

[Fishingman]

oh course must hv balanced meals mah...

but then again, how long can you go without meat? hehe

Hmmm..... good question, 1 day without meat also feel one kind already-lah, like a drug addict without his daily shot I think. Just a bit will do everyday, no need a chunk of meat every meal-lah.
btw, I don't consider fish or seafood a kind of meat ok.
I imagine myself sitting down to a breakfast of eggs, french toast, maple syrup, corn and coffee. I'll feel like something is missing, bacon fits in missing link perfectly. Sausage also can-lah. yum yum. I just made myself hungry again. :squeeze:

[shiruikage]

eating meat is our right!
eating vegetable is when eating meat is not available.
we don hear of our ancestors fighting giant lettuces to bring home the...vege? wat kind of story that would be? wat kind of cave art would tht be? i say NAYYYYYYY~!
mammoth slaying and bison hunting is in! give me meat or give me death!!! (this sounds familiar.....:o )muahahhahahah!!!!!!!!

[athena]

haha...i lurve all your responses

how many of you hv colleagues, friends or relatives who are vegans?

[Dino]

We humans did not climb up the food chain that high so that we can only eat baby carrots and baby bak choy.

[athena]

i read somewhere, I think was my IEEE (institue of Electronics Engineers) magazine, Spectrum, stating that the world cannot afford so many meat-eaters. coz the amount of energy need to sustain the breeding of animals. so we are actually steering into meat-less world?

[shiruikage]

none! muahahhah!
so over rated they all. but got one vegetarian lar. but he's a devout Buddhist, always making one charity or another, so, understandably a vegetarian. but a vegan he is not.

after watching phua chu kang with that vegan wife of phua chu beng, i see vegan oso wanna throw up.:sick:

no offence.:h:

they need more energy to produce some steaks yes. but then again, eating meat is actually the cradle of our civilization...no?

found this article...hahaha....americans gets the blame for just about anything


American Meat Eaters Cause Third World Hunger?
Question: How does America's meat consumption impact our ability to feed an increasing world population?

1. Americans eat a lot of meat because it's cheap compared to our incomes.

2. Meat is cheap in America because the corn used to feed most cattle is cheap. This is a direct result of American farmers having access to inexpensive and highly efficient technologies like artificial fertilizers, hybrid seeds, harvest machinery, inexpensive fuel, effective and (when used properly) safe insecticides, and good infrastructure (roads, transportation, warehouses, etc.).

3. If Americans decided to eat less meat, American farmers would grow less livestock feed (corn). They might grow some other grain for human consumption, but we already export tons of grain. Countries that can't produce enough food for themselves can't afford to buy our current excess grain production, so they wouldn't be helped by a farmer switching from livestock feed to something humans could eat.

4. The U.S. government already buys tons of grain every year and gives it away. However, such aid does not help a country to develop their own agriculture. In fact, it may very well be harming countries when we giving them long-term food aide (which is very different from immediate assistance in response to dire food emergencies). When a country is flooded with free food for an extended period of time, it undermines the local agricultural economy.

5. American consumption of beef is just Americans eating excess (cheap) corn in another form. Not eating meat in America will just remove the economic incentive for American farmers to grow that crop, so they'll switch to something else. Regardless, it will do nothing to help the malnourished of the world.

6. Meat consumption always increases in countries as they grow economically. People like meat. And we know that it is harmful for young children to live on a vegan diet, so increasing meat consumption -- from a third-world level -- should correlate with increased health. And that appears to be the case: more wealthy countries, which eat more meat than poorer countries, have much longer life spans.

7. In third-world countries, domestic livestock is not normally fed grain that could feed humans. This is for a very good reason: it is too expensive. Most livestock in developing countries eat plant fibre humans cannot consume, like grass and woody plants. In fact, worldwide, goats provide more meat for human consumption than any other type of livestock.

8. Livestock perform important functions in third-world agriculture: they produce the highest quality protein from marginal land -- that is, land that is not suitable for growing human consumable crops -- and they provide valuable fertilizers for crops.

Agree on the overfishing part, now the fishermen even take all those baby fishes, tarak bagi chance for them to grow up. Now they'll using nets with smaller mesh size cos they small fish that kenot be sold will be ground up into fish feed for all those fish farms. They kill off all the babies then later complain there no fish to catch. Ayoyo how-lah.

I have a kolik that's a vegetarian, actually dem mah fan-lah everytime we want to eat out together, have to go somewhere vegetarian.

[Oddfather]

[Odysseus]

I tried once. Had to cut the meat out from the body. It was a barbequed one with everything intact except the head. It was like a baby.

[Chris C]

Yup greens r ok......too much of those flour flavoured vegetarian food r actually worst than taking meat.

[athena]

[Fishingman]

From the results, clearly seen that guys loves meat more.

[daBoss]

i don't take vege at all! i'm a meatatarian. ;)

[justin hong]

Everytime someone ask me what food I don't take, I'll say vegetarian. Once I was the best man for a friend's wedding and the dinner was strictly vegetarian. I was sitting on the main table next to 2 "Nee Ku" and Boy! did I suffer. Had to make excuses to go out and smoke just to avoid those "Nee Kus" from asking me to "Chiak,Chiak,Chiak......mai Pai seh". And after dinner head straight to Indian restaurant for a full nasi kandar meal.

Not boring-meh? Now I eat 2 pieces of KFC also jelak already. Never call dinner plate anymore.

[laineyee]

Aiyah, i don't eat KFC all the time, probably once in 3-4 months. but the thought of not eating EVER, don't think i can.

at the moment, i don't normally eat meat, mostly veg unless eating out where Veg dishes cost the same if not more than the meat, so order meat dishes better value.

McDonald's has a somewhat open kitchen, you can see what they are doing inside.. this forces them to be hygienic..

Have you seen the food preparation section of a Pizza Hut? You don't want to..

No-wor... never seen b4. Is it that bad? Don't they have guidelines to follow?

[bizzi]

as long as you can't see the kitchen, you never know what the food preparations wld be like.. in any kitchen..

i wouldn't say it's done in every pizza hut, but it was done in the outlet i worked at.. sometimes when the chopped up ingredients fall on the floor, they pick it up and put it back into the rest of it..

and the baking pans has a layer of charred carbon on it, that it refuses to come off even after repeated washing in hot water and industrial strength washing liquid..

[Oddfather]

We also can't see the kitchens in hotels, fine dining restaurant, etc etc. Does that mean what you juz mentioned also happens there??

[shiruikage]

i donno about pizza hut, but i've worked at mines shopping centre's shakey's pizza b4, and still, i eat pizza. but not their pizza lar. and def not their sandwich or chicken salad. why? made from leftover frozen chicken. :sick:

anyway, their pizza is certified by former employee (moir!) to be clean, even the preparations. honest!

but my fren's worked at kfc b4, and he never touches the stuff ever again. his reason being that he got jelak of looking at chicken all day long. but while we were living together, everynite got free kfc leftovers. hahahah. especially the whiped potato and coleslaw! kewl!

a wise man (my father that is :D); the cleanest things is the one u never seen. he meant that wat u don see is always the cleanest.
