Oh FFS...Vegetarians mad at Red Robin Commercial

[theGinsue]

They're just trying to redirect everyone from the May 25th story of the Vegan mother whose breastfed bady died of malnutrition.

Strict Vegan/Vegatarian diets are not healthy diets unless you supplement them with required vitamins and amino acids that are only found naturally/readily in red meat.

<----vegan, personal best for the marathon is 2:38:55, how fast have you done one?

I find that generally, the angst is aimed more by those who cling to their red meat. I don't really care, nor do most vegetarians I know, care what others eat. Crickets, beef, snails, pork, have at it, it doesn't bother me in the least what others eat. However, unless those belittling the diet of others are dietitians that actually know something about essential nutrients, I'm going to have to dismiss the whole "without red meat you aren't getting a balanced diet" thing.

Look at it this way: the less meat I eat, the cheaper it is for others who wish to have it, a proverbial win/win scenario!

I may not be healthy based on what I've read here. Grab a pack and some good shoes, let's see how many 14'ers we can do in a week, loser buys the beer at the end, deal?

I have to wonder what has happened in society. It seems like everyone is up in everyone else's shit. Religion vs. religion. Gender vs. gender. Gays/lesbians vs. Hetero. Vegans vs. non-vegans.

What ever happened the live and let live?! Why is it anyone else's business what they eat, what they worship or who they snog? The right to swing your first ends where another's nose begins.

...and for the record, I have meat at least once a day (and fish does NOT count as meat in my book.) I've got a vegan buddy that comes over for barbecue once in a while, and I grill up kabobs and make tzaziki and we can all get along without stabbing each other with skewers. It is posible, but you wouldn't know it with the Squeaky Wheel Brigade.

Nothing has changed in society .. nada Zip... it's always been this way ...


the difference is that 20-25 years ago a story like this never would have been seen.. the TV would not have bothered with it and a newspaper would not have wasted the newsprint to print it on ..( unless it was a SUPER slow news day.. and then it would never have gotten past the local news.. the nationals would not bother)

but now every whiney little bitch has a blog and can make everything an "uproar" And net based news will " print it " since it costs them nothing basically ... and brings revenue generating ad traffic...

Who says vegans got no sense of humor!!!

I grew up in seventh day Adventist family.. They are mostly vegans and vegetarians.. Some who are not, they only eat fish. I never looked forward to family pot luck! But I can say with obsolete certainty they are as if not more healthy than us bacon lover. Just boring!!

If vegetarians love animals so much, then why do they eat all their food?
