You're not alone. My wife is very big on water.
Even on the occasions where she gives her kids Hawaiian Punch, she'll water it down a bit.

EvilWhiteMale said:

define "proper". pictures would help!

EvilWhiteMale said:

Indeed, it's natural and healthy. Veganism is a mental disorder.

lecoq said:

can we agree that for many people, the concept and process of consuming meat is unethical?

if somebody decides that they don't want animals exploited, abused and killed on their behalf, why can't we simply respect that for what it is?

irresistibleb1tch said:

And for some who do eat meat, factory farming is unethical...

I doubt that all the meat advocates here go out and shoot their own. Or are raising grass-fed cattle in their backyards.

My kids were raised on lots of milk and meat. They are not fat, never had ear infections, nor respiratory ailments. Of course we don't eat beef all that much. Mostly turkey, fish and chicken with lots of veggies and fruit.

Eternaldragon said:

would you be concerned about other children who aren't as lucky as yours?

Eternaldragon said:

There are ethnicities who do not tolerate animal products as well as others.

Asians and therefore American Indians, do not tolerate milk products well. We certainly do not in our family...

irresistibleb1tch said:

Of course.

and I think natural foods are best.

I was raised vegetarian and I think I turned out all right

irresistibleb1tch said:

Cheers for the support

I really can't believe how anyone can eat an animal
That's just cruel and heartless

Vegatarian food is the last place people should be concerned with kids. Arresting unfit parents including people who don't make time to teach their kids anything. Kids are a full time job and too many people do not take the time, food is just one aspect. Putting them in front of the television or a video game is easier than making a good person.

"Unethical" give me a break, how about kids with holes in their clothes who rely on welfare to eat? I don't hear anything about ethics when it comes to the welfare system and what the nutritional value of that food is. There's thousands of kids in the US alone on welfare and people are concerned about vegans food choices? WTF!

I'd kill them myself too if I had to. Why is it OK for other animinals to eat eachother, but we're supposed to get all sentimental when a cow or a chicken is slaughtered for consumption?

irresistibleb1tch said:

Maybe, if you're nice.

MoonCat said:

Seems like you did. But how strict was the diet?

EvilWhiteMale said:

i'm always nice!

i might be an opinionated, left-of-liberal vegan wacko...

but i'm always nice!

irresistibleb1tch said:

I'd rather not have people exploited, abused and killed on my behalf.

We can talk about animals later

PANDURITO said:

they're really not mutually exclusive.

lecoq said:

OK , at least you're no hyprocrite , like so many that eat meat are , i'll give you that

For other animals it's their instinct (ok , maybe for humans too )

Humans have the ability to recognize it's murder and unethical
(at least to me and many others)

PANDURITO said:

What has that one thing have to do with the other one ? (to quote P)

irresistibleb1tch said:

Well you gotta be extra nice for pictures.

EvilWhiteMale said:

i'll give you "moderately extra nice", but that's it.

irresistibleb1tch said:

I see you're gonna be difficult. We're gonna have to fix that.

Dewrede said:

What world do you live in?

What's that supposed to mean ?
I was just quoting Prince for fun , that's all

EvilWhiteMale said:

bigger men have tried.

my being moderately extra nice is pretty good, by any standard.

so, brang it!

Another vegan type thread where we meat eaters get bashed saying we are have unhealthy diets and we are soo dim cos we arent veggie eaters.. its getting a bit boring..

Cant you discuss this shit on a Vegan site?

REDBABY said:

relax, nobody forces you to click on them.

irresistibleb1tch said:

I am relaxed.. its just same old, same old.. ya know..


You choose not to eat meat, other people choose to eat meat.. end of story.
