If you were a vegetarian would you consider eating a bug as eating meat? I am not a vegetarian, but the thought came to mind today as I was running and swallowed a big fly.
I was about 3 miles into a run and was breathing pretty hard when a fly of some sort flew into my mouth and down my throat before I had a chance to react. I was actually pretty grossed out for a minute, but I think that the fly provided me with some valuable nutrients which allowed me to finish the final 2 miles with a good pace 
So is a fly considered meat? . [This message was edited Fri Apr 25 14:06:45 PDT 2003 by lovemachine] | |

Under normal situations I would agree with you, but if a fly decides to kill himself by flying down my throat while running there isn't much choice in the matter. | |

I am a vegetarian (14 years and counting, yo) and yeah, I'd consider it "meat", but even moreso, even if I were still omnivorous, I'd consider it GROSS!
But in that situation, I mean, what can ya do. | |

Hitler was a vegetarian which shows it's not always a good thing. Sometimes it leads to genicide. NOTE: THIS ACCOUNT IS NOW CLOSED. PLEASE CONTACT “K A M L L E” | |

But in that situation, I mean, what can ya do. I applaud your vegetarian ways, but 14 years without a thick steak  I couldn't do it.
Yeah, I pretty much agree with your take on the fly situation. | |

Hey, it's not for everyone - I'll be one of the few hardcore veggies in the world who says live and let (kill and) eat. The only problem I have with meat-eaters are the ones who have a problem with what I (do or don't)eat...who gives a shit what another person puts in their mouth?! Just don't make ME eat it!
SOMEONE on this thread (no names, but I see her driving around the Burger King drive-thru in her shockadelicar) seems kinda threatened by the idea of vegetarianism...why is that? And why is it that when a meat-eater hears someone's a vegetarian, they have to respond with "oh, well, I likes me a big ol' steak!" I mean, I'm gay, but I never say to straight guys, "women are cool, but I gotta have me a big ol' juicy cock!" He likes what he likes, I like what I like, and we all sing freakin' Kumbaya into the sunset! Why is difference so threatening to some people? And if it's just a matter of different = scary, then...  OOGAH BOOGAH!!! | |

Good point. I got no problem with people's values. As long as they don't try and force them on me, I've never been one to preach to others. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |
