Why are vegetarians so misguided?!


Question: My friend is a vegetarian and he keeps telling me that it is immoral to eat animals. He says that you don't have to kill something in order to eat.

We were eating french fries at the time and I told him that the potato was killed so he could eat it and I could hear their screams comming from the fryer behind the counter.

I said all living things feel pain when theyt are killed, so maybe you shouldn't eat anything at all. He agreed with me and stopped eating....that was 20 days ago and I think he is in trouble. He has lost 45 pounds and looks like he is starving to death.

I feel bad, but it is his own misguided beliefs that are making him do this....I hope that all the vegetarians that read this don't starve themselves to death. Then there would only be meat eaters left and there would be no one to save the animals. Soon the animals would be gone and we would have to start eating each other....maybe that is their plan...those vegetarians are smarter than I thought!

I love animals......their delicious!!!

sometimes with friends you just agree to disagree

This is a silly question. An imaginary friend can not starve to death. Back to the drawing board for you.

misguided? thats what you call it? i just thought it was what one believes and what one thinks is right or wrong.....in their own opinion. wow.

Grog says, "Meat good. Green veggie bad"

um are you okay? and your friend needs help.

JUST EAT TONS OF CANDY...

who's really misguided you or your so called friend.

ya, 1st ur mean
2nd tell him that not everything has feelings
3rd that's y theyre called vegitarians because they dont eat anything that's been killed, vegies havent been killed

Your friend is psycho and doesn't reflect a lot of vegetarians.

is this a question?

vegetarians arent misguided, your friend is just stupid.

additionally, potatoes dont have a brain to feel pain, animals actually have nerves and brains and reasoning skills... unlike plants... please tell me you understand this and promise me that you will never be able to vote.

you don't have to kill plants to eat, you don't kill a tree for an apple. you don't kill potatoes by eating them either, it's just their means for reproduction. You can kinda understand what i'm getting at

O-o

he has food issues
he cant kill anything or cause pain
u need to apologize and try to get him to eat again
or at least drink something with calories
omg

explain to him that you two have different views. considering plants do not have a brain or feelings its not really torturing as it is towards animals.

he should also take a joke easier =/

dont judge all vegetarians by this person, this person sounds like he is just an obsessed person. the reason im vegetarian is coz i dont like the tastes, and also i cant stand the pain that ANIMALS would be going through from the time they are born till they die and even after - be born, be imprisoned all their life or live where ever, hunt food to survive or be given food to be fattened up etc etc. plus have you seen how some farmers keep their animals? all squashed and neglected. if these had been their babies they would have been had for child abuse.

Tell your friend that if he doesnt eat then he's killing himself and thats just as wrong as killing any potato or cow. Tell him that he's in a catch 22 situation, and if he wants to eat veggies let him, but not to condemn anyone who eats meat.
BTW, I can hear the potatoes scream going into the fryer too. Makes my mouth water kinda like Pavlov's dog when he heard the bell ringing!
LOL

lol not all living things feel pain when killed. Thats retarded.

Misguided belief??

Can you not just accept a friends belief and respect it for what it is that he believes in? Its not misguided just because you feel it is. We live in a world full of differences....learn to respect them.

Vegetarianism isn't really that bad. It wouldn't be so bad to eat meat except for the crap that goes into it. Like the vaccinations, antibodies, and the rejected meat from other animals. Of course, to look at the other side, veggies aren't doing to well in our culture either with all the pesticides and such.
Anyway, let your friend know that eating is fact of life and all things do it. Every living organism on this planet consumes the life force of another organism. There is nothing wrong with it. It only becomes wrong when you take more than you need or abuse what you are given. Keep that in mind when you hit the buffet.

Ur retarded as well as ur "friend." Maybe he just wanted a jumpstart on anorexia

your friend does not have to stop eating. two suggestions:

1) recommend he look into 'fruitarianism' by which the person simply waits underneath fruit trees waiting for fruit to drop naturally.

if this is still too much like eating a dead or dying apple/pear/plum/mango or whatever, then i met someone who (really!) did

2)a practice i forget the name of but it consists of simply eating air. i think this involved using light to fill her third eye, and this was reportedly enough to survive on for several years.

another way to think about it though, is that free animals that someone hunts - or 'free' flora that one gathers, for that matter- are giving their lives for you friend to be sustained on this Earth. he could read the stories of many indigenous cultures from around the world to reinforce this. they might die, but their noble death allows the Earth to continue its natural cycle of life and death, that your friend is simply a part of and must accept.

Well your friends an idiot!
i suggest you get new ones that are not that retarded!!!

gimme a break. ya gotta live and let live. focus on ur issues, babe
