also when you present your argument, you have to be clear. when you say "need to eat meat", is that need based on nutrition? because "need" denotes and connotes necessity for survival. you don't need meat to survive. you can survive without it. BUT if you are using the word "need" loosely, then be clear about it so other people here would understand you clearly. another point, when you say "God knows...", it would be helpful to present a substantiation like what others do here. there are different beliefs or non-beliefs about God. if you want to eat meat, that's your deal and we respect. i think that's clear in many of the posts here. what we are just trying to make you understand is that just because you don't like vegetarianism, it doesn't make it wrong or inferior. the same way we don't think eating meat is wrong or inferior. and don't regard vegetables or fruits as worse than meat because they are not. the same way meat is not worse than vegetables. it all boils down to preference and priorities. i mentioned this because you said "He knows humans deserve somthing better than plain coleslaw for lunch". some people here might actually prefer plain coleslaw. just try and be clear. substantiate your argurments. read up on the subject. my mother is from Cebu. i visited only once but i am proud of our heritage. and according to your data, that's where you are from too. that's why i made an effort to write this lengthy post. so i hope you don't take this the wrong way. i'm just concerned. |

edit:- the God that the Virgin mentioned about giving meat exclusively for consumption to us is along the lines of a Universal God, which is untrue, and he didn't even interpret the Bible correctly firstly, there are no passages in the Bible stating that animals are exclusive for consumption to us, there are only passages saying there's no restriction on what you can eat. and I read this along the lines of a reaction to Judaisitic law on "no pork", similar to "yes you can work on a Sabbath day" was a reaction to "do nothing on the Sabbath" secondly, there is no Universal God for all the peoples of the world, whereas Christians are allowed to eat ALL meat, Jews and Muslims can't eat pork (using his line of argument, is a pig a sacred animal, then?, and above us) no - the pig is just a filthy animal to them and cannot be eaten thirdly, popular non-Abrahamic religions in the East like Hinduism and Buddhism, regard the consumption of only veggies highly thought of and will reward the practitioner in the Karmic cycle, "pure" Buddhists don't even kill ants and the highest caste of Hindus, the Brahmas (priests) are vegetarians - so I guess the Virgin is saying a Christian God is above Buddha, Vishnu, Ganesh etc? |

i mean according to the general populace of the Earth? and my main point is that Thee Virgin can eat meat if he likes it, he doesn't need to get so defensive about it - no one here's saying "meat is murder" but using religious, moral or scientific justifications for doing so is not a proper line of reasoning some like the taste of meat, some don't |

The thing about Vegetarian diet is that they will usually have a lower intake of Vitamin B and Calcium but that's more on the Vegan side of things from not consuming dairy products. |

2. ditto 3. that is probably what his belief is. but i am not even sure what God he is talking about. i was raised to four different religions and one of that is Catholicism. i would be the first one to say that Catholics have some... interesting beliefs about God but that God he was talking about, ain't the God of Catholics. |
Quote:
though soy is a good source of calcium whole grains, potatoes, bananas, lentils, chili peppers, tempeh, beans for Vitamin B |

There are still animals that would eat humans given the chance. In a post to DJCham, I mentioned the Sundarbans. Quote:
