You make no sense, you go on to make a point that you only eat for humane animal farms then say things like "I don't care about the animals." I hardly understand how half your points are relevant.

I'm guessing that was a joke.

Here are a couple of questions meat eaters might ask me:
Why would you bother not eating meat, if there are plenty other species in nature that have to eat meat? It's not like we can convince them to become vegetarians.
Yes, but I feel we shouldn't do our part in contributing to the problem by eating meat if it isn't necessary. Also, maybe God put the carnivorous animals here as a metaphor for the duality that lives in all man. We can be saintly, and we are capable of abominable behavior. Maybe he wants all of those animals to die, but we have to see that first. I'm not even saying that's laid in stone, I just think it's a possibility.
Secondly, why would you bother not eating meat, when you're constantly stepping on ants, and rolly-polly's and little bugs, and probably killing tons of bacteria without even knowing it?
Well, again, a Jainist considers all life equal, so they consider an ant's life to be as important as their own. That may be true, but it would seem the only way to justify that belief would be to kill yourself immediately, unless you honestly think you can walk around and manage not to kill any insects barely discernable to the human eye. Secondly, maybe since I believe the more advanced one's brain is, the more worthy they are of life, so an insect's life wouldn't be near as valuable as say, a deer, or a pig. Also, you would need to factor in their expected life span, and how much of their life you would be cutting short.
Whether either of my theories are true or not does matter to me. However, I could be wrong, and ultimately I still feel good about not eating meat. So, the end justifies the means, in my case.

I haven't read the whole thread but I will go back to it later on when I get home but I thought most vegetarians eat fish.

There are omega-3 fatty acids in fish that your body needs.....for instance you can get most of your omega-3 fatty acid needs from salmon

I only eat from humane farms because those are the only farms that raise their livestock sustainably. I already explained that.

Yes, omega 3 fatty acids are extremely
healthy for the human brain. They come from the fish skin. They are one of the most healthy things a human being can take. You might try a multivitamin, without the fatty acid (keep in mind, it might be full of chemicals), or an even better alternative would be Flaxseed. Flaxseed is the miracle of modern nutrition. It may even be healthier for you than omega 3 fatty acids.

Yes, but then you keep saying things like you don't care about the animals life and whatnot, so it can get a bit confusing

What you said there completely. Also You're 12, I don't think you have much of a choice in where your meat comes from.

That's a pescatarian not a vegetarian.

1. How does that contradict exactly?
2. I'm not going to argue about this, but trust me, I do.

Um...you don't care about the animals why would you care about how their treated and how they're slaughtered?

ProggyMan 01-28-2008 03:40 PM

Sigh...i don't, but the farms that are humane also raise their livestock sustainably. I'm not going to say it again.
