Amaya, why are you so mad? This is a thread about things we personally don't understand. Seb doesn't understand people who refuse to eat a meal without meat in it. If you'd come in and said 'well, some people only eat meals with meat in them because they're trying to build mass as part of weightlifting regime' that could have been an interesting discussion. Instead, you said 'you obviously don't understand weightlifting', apropos of nothing.

But one answer I’ve come across a couple of times is that they won’t eat the meal because it doesn’t have meat. This is a completely bizarre thing that I cannot get my head around. It’s the same as saying I won’t try it because it doesn’t have mint in it. It’s just a completely bizarre reason to deny one’s self a whole variety of foods.


Or, like myself, I find the taste of the majority of vegetables to be quite disgusting.

No theory is fact. Its theoretical. Thats why its called a theory. Evolution, an example you used, is not fact. There is a massive wealth of evidence for it, that it can be widely believed...but its not fact.

Amaya wrote:You made an ignorant sweeping statement and are now attempting to claim otherwise. No, I would never eat a vegetarian meal, not even for a social function. Likewise, I would never try to force a vegan or vegetarian to eat meat or for that matter questioning why they refuse to do so.

Insinuating that such people "put bacon on their cornflakes" is asinine. A more intelligent question would be, "did you put milk on your cereal?" There are vegetarians who do drink milk, but there are many (and vegans) who don't. Technically, cereal with milk is not a vegetarian meal making your query rather pointless.

There are vegetarian who don't drink milk like there are meat eaters who don't drink milk. Milk is a vegetarian product, cereal with milk is vegetarian unless you're eating bacon flakes.

Mushrooms aren't dead plants...
Neither is seaweed.
Vegetarianism is defined by the exclusion of meat, not the inclusion of plant-based food.

Frazz, you are thinking Vegan which is a distinct and extreme branch of Vegetarianism.

I'm not expert, but Vegans are more against anything an animal is used to produce, such as eggs, Milk, some extracts, etc.

Yep. If you're going to do it, quit cheating.

By the way (not to you Easy E). Seaweed IS a plant.

Get fething real naked mountainlion wrestler. If it uses photosynthesis its a plant for vegetarian purposes. If you're saying its not a plant, well then you're not being a vegetarian now are you.

Please go back to your mountain lion back breaking with your bare hands.

No. Algea reproduces using spores and is completely different other than photosynthesis.

Anyway, mushrooms definitely aren't.
