John Wayne?

I don't know about everyone else, but it's the taste of bacon keeps me from being a veggie.

Mr. Coffee Nerves

If a hideously deformed one-eyed sailor obsessed with a breastless woman couldn't sell vegetarianism as manly, no one can.

Holy f**king sh*t! Done in one, and so eloquently said!

My second word was meat. No sociology necessary.

/ the first one was Fark

Charles Bronson was way more badass than John Wayne. He didn't have to brag, he was in Death Wish and in Korea. He was Paul-motherfarking-Kersey. Also, The Dirty Dozen.

so much this.

FTA:

Study participants routinely linked more masculine people and behaviors with men, while women were more associated with vegetables and sushi.

That's some good reporting there, Ric.

Would have loved to seen a real fist-fight between Eastwood and Bronson in their prime.

Vegetarian.

/Eats meat

There is nothing unhealthy about red meat. So fark off vegetarians.

Being a vegetarian is the same as being atheist. Most of humanity just rejects that kind of stupidity.

And so it starts.

We didn't spend a million or so years evolving into the global apex predator to hunt plants. What was it the Sage of New Jersey said? "Broccoli tastes like broccoli, but meat tastes like murder, and that tastes pretty farking good!"

I do believe it's because nothing beats a bacon wrapped filet minon.

Alright here we go

Please, meat eatters, while the article is very wrong, there is truth to it.

You probably eat steak, bacon, and all the other delicious animals because your dad ate them. And humans don't change much in terms of personality from childhood to adulthood. If you grew up liking your dad in any way then odds are you considered him the most manly person at one time and probably would do anything to be like him. Including believing meat eating is natural and delicious.

Which it is. But if your dad had been a vegetarian, ya'll probably would have been vegetarians.

Yeah, that attitude works great until about age 60 when you show up at the hospital 60 lbs over weight with searing chest pain; your blood pressure 176/120, and your cholesterol and triglycerides off the chart...and the doctors tell you that the next time you'll leave the hospital in a box.

///mostly over the meat and cheese cravings...mostly ;^(

As a vegetarian for twenty years now, I know that vegetarianism is not for everyone. Human beings are omnivorous by nature and some people just physically can't make the adjustment. As completely non-scientific personal observation, while some women can't make that adjustment, more men seem to have a harder time. Most male vegetarians I meet are pale and wan. I just want to buy them a cheeseburger. Maybe beef has some amino acid necessary for the production of testosterone or something.

Vegetarianism is a dangerous cult.

This...despite the fact that I have to watch my iron content, I couldn't give up the stuff. I've cut down on the beef and added more fish and lean proteins to my diet, but there are some times that I just crave a good medium rare ribeye or a greasy burger.

Or you can eat responsibly regardless of what you stuff in your face hole. I eat meat but I don't gorge myself and sometimes to me there us nothing more delicious than a steamed cabbage with mustard. Because I have a balanced diet. Plus the 4 miles I run every other day, hopefully keep me healthy enough that I can continue to go without health insurance until I find a better job. Or die. Either way my problem is over.

Why so hostile?

No one gives a shiat what you eat.

Are these people actually so anxious to waste money that they overlook the glaringly obvious? Humans are omnivores. Meat = strong muscle tissue, Vegetarian = veal. The only way a vegetarian (human) can even survive is to take proper amounts of man made supplements to replace what they are missing from not eating meat. I wonder how much steak they could have fed starving kids in Africa with all the money they wasted on this study.

So let me get this straight. You've been a vegetarian for twenty years, and yet you have absolutely no concept of nutrition?

/The mind... it boggles...

I prefaced my statement with the disclaimer that it was completely non-science-based personal observation, but you don't understand english?

/The mind...it boggles...

Nogale: Actually, I find that vegetarianism is becoming more and more prevalent among men in the 20s and 30s.
As is the general wussification of the younger male generation.
Correlation or causation?

KiplingKat872: Most male vegetarians I meet are pale and wan. I just want to buy them a cheeseburger. Maybe beef has some amino acid necessary for the production of testosterone or something.

Correlation. I've not eaten meat for 18 years (since I was 14) and most people have a hard time figuring it out unless somebody tells them (which I pretty much never do). It is not at all uncommon for people that know me and hang out with me for years to have a hard time believing it when somebody else tells them.
Maybe it's because, despite the fact that I've always been a smaller guy, I'm often accused of being aggressive, ill-tempered, pro-violence, and teetering on the edge of flipping the frak out. I like to think I've gotten most of that under control in the last 5 years, but talk to me for more than 10 minutes and you'll find out that I'm a gun nut that fully endorses concealed carry so that the surplus criminal population can be rapidly reduced. Also, for a number of years I would show up with split lips, black eyes, limps, etc because of the martial arts I did and helped teach.

amino acids for testosterone? testosterone is a cholesterol derivative, so unless you mean that maybe certain amino acids may be needed for the enzymes that do the conversions, no. if you're still alive, your enzymes are probably in working order. I am of the belief that scrawnier guys may tend to identify with the veggie community and become part of it as they really don't have many other options.
And before you start thinking it's a cholesterol intake issue, I've actually had my testosterone levels checked because of that myself. My cholesterol is so low that it borders on dangerous (doc tell me to eat as much cheese, eggs, nuts, avocados as I can (not really a fan of eggs)) but my testosterone is juuust fine.

Technically, as long as, you get enough protein your muscles will be fine. Thus, peanuts can serve as a replacement to meat.

But I don't like peanuts that much. What we should do is produce blocks of protein and vitamins and nutrients and eat nothing but those. Maybe give them a green color to make them more appealing to the eye

THIS.

If the almighty hadn't intended animals to be eaten, he wouldn't have made them out of meat.

your name is appropriate.
I don't take supplements, even after 18 years of not eating meat. I'm fit, i'm getting my phd, and I'm all around awesome. I can point you to plenty of Indians around the medical community who have NEVER eaten meat and are pretty much perfect examples of healthy and intelligent.
So I guess that makes you an idiot.
