Travis Barker

"Hey, you! Come on inside! Listen to a depressing Scottish acoustic band whine about life. Better voices than David Gray, catchier tunes than Radiohead. Won't annoy you like Coldplay. Come on inside, first drink is free!"

So you used to think you were better than everyone else by not eating meat and now you think you're better than vegetarians because you now eat meat again and you also thought meat was tasty the whole time while you weren't eating it for some reason or another? Stop obsessing over your food already.

An insult from a self described recovering vegetarian? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Did you stop eating meat at the request of a veggiehead partner and then took it up again when they dumped you? Do you still put porkchops in their mailbox in the middle of the night in revenge? Do you still hear the lambs farting Clarice?

This is one of the most pathetic posts I have ever read. Let's see, we got hate against an easy target followed by a statement indicating you can't make a choice and stick with it, followed by opinions that can't be backed up. Bravo sir.

Since he seems to have extensive ink, I was curious about how it still looked after all the skin grafting. I mean, obviously he's lucky to have his life and all - I'm not overlooking that. But can you retouch a tattoo if part of it's replaced by grafted skin?

No. I tried the veggie thing, mostly for healthy reasons, not for "ethical" reasons. I did it while wearing my leather flip flops, sandals and steel-toed boots. It didn't work, because after I lost the weight, I also lost muscle. Sure only some veggie people are able to maintain it, but I wasn't able to.

The fervent vegans and vegetarians that I worked with that stuck their noses in my business noticed I changed back to my diet (I didn't even tell them I went veggie in the first place). Needless to say, they sounded like you. I now eat all kinds of delicious meat, including bacon. and I have my muscle back.

I'm a chick. Not too many guys go around with a pseudonym like that. Besides, refer to my response to Robert.

/Wow, this is fun.

Sooooooooooo they sounded like me in that they thought it was silly you were talking about how glad you were you weren't a vegetarian anymore and how they were stupid to be vegetarians because meat is tasty tasty tasty and everyone must like to eat the same foods as you? Sounds like you try to go picking fights with the vegetable people because you secretly hate yourself for briefly having been one and couldn't figure out how to do it properly and your arms turned into pipecleaners while your craving to deepthroat hot juicy pork sausage was being denied in your quest to burn your hideous fat.

Now excuse me but the cat and I need to eat a tin of kippers with mustard sauce and Spanish olives. Yeah and I need more lager.

No...I was bringing up a Fark cliche. That was all. You were trolling, and trying to pick a fight with me. It didn't work.

So go on ahead and stroke your pussy.

No, I'm not trolling. I seriously think you're an idiot. You must be since you were a vegetarian at one point. Dummy.

I'm curious about that too. My uneducated guess is yes since it's still skin. The docs may advise against it.

Anyone here (other than me) who is scared of soy milk?

I won't consume any milk that comes from a plant or animal which aint got boobs (except coconuts but they look kinda like boobs). And as far as I know soy beans aint got boobs.

Travis Barker.... nope, never heard of him until I looked him up. Why should I have? Blink 182 sucks. Blink = Britney Spears. Nothing like 30-somethings singing about teenage angst to creep you out.

What I don't understand is that of the six (?) people on the plane, only the 2 celebrities survived.

From what I've read and could tell, they were in the back of the plane. From the pictures I saw of the wreckage, it wasn't totally destroyed. They just got REALLY lucky.

I feel sorry for the families of the other four people though.

Okay, how about a still-vegetarian response?

For the tl;dr crowd: yes, this vegetarian believes that meat is a concentrated source of protein, which is what the body uses to repair itself. If you've been seriously injured and you insist on eating only raw fruit, you're an idiot. We got to where we are, evolutionarily speaking, because we learned to hunt. Meat = lots of calories, protein, and fat, all in one tasty package.


Now for the tl; part.

I'd been a vegetarian off and on, pretty much since I moved away from my parents. When Mom wasn't doing all the work, I found it a bit icky to handle raw meat. I would still eat it if someone else made it, though. I wasn't convinced by the ethical argument.

For the last 15 years, I've been vegetarian for medical reasons. (Reasons are at the end of the post, in case anyone cares.) I'm supposed to be a strict vegetarian (vegan), but I still eat cheese and yogurt sometimes. So far, my health can handle it. If the day comes when I'll be actually hurt by it, I'll stop and eat only plants. Health and continuing to live > meat, for me.

I've been veggie for so long that the taste of meat, beef or chicken or whatever, is no longer interesting to me. I have actually developed a taste for tofu. My body has learned that the stuff provides protein and vitamins/minerals, so it directs me to eat that curd when I need it. When I smell someone's barbecue, I crave teriyaki tofu. I'll eat tofu raw, and like it. It did take me about five years to learn to like it, though. (Don't be such wimps about it. It tastes like beans, that's all.)

I'm still not convinced by the ethical argument. We're animals, and animals often eat other animals. No big deal. There's a serious consequence to the environment (and our own health) when we farm our meat in giant factories, but that's a thread for another day. I'm not grossed out by other people eating meat in front of me. I'm also not envious of them. I've lost the taste for meat of any kind, so I don't feel like I'm missing out.

/grabs a handful of cashews and almonds, chews happily

(Medical situation, as promised: I have kidney disease. Kidneys have to work harder than normal to remove excess protein and phosphorus from the bloodstream. The primary source of the two nutrients is animal products -- meat and dairy. And fish, that's included in "meat". And eggs.

I could either avoid all animal products to reduce the protein/phosphorus in my diet, or I could spend my days measuring the exact number of grams of protein/phosphorus contained in every single bite of food I stick in my mouth and make sure I don't exceed certain limits.

Fark that. I'll go with veggies. I was half-way inclined that way to start with, anyway.

It helps that I like broccoli.)

How indicatively imbecilic.

You're actually cool!

Broccoli rocks! Ever try that Table Blend Mrs. Dash on it?
