You don't think veggie food is contaminated with meat?

I don't understand why anyone would not want to eat meat. Its apart of a natural diet plus it tastes good.
There is normally an air of smugness about vegetarians which is deeply unappealling.

As others have said, I make smart choices about my food and don't eat processed crap

In answer to the OP, nothing...

I'm really not bothered about the horse thing, I say this as someone who currently has Python and Kangaroo in my freezer.

Sugarice · 13/02/2013 18:57

We are all meat eaters in our house and love it.

I like to buy good quality meat, especially a nice piece of beef and yes I would eat horse meat if it tasted good and was free from any nasties.

Now where's that steak tartare I just prepared? Wink

Now you see the thought of mechanically recovered meat does make me go a bit green - but then again there are few things in this world better than chewing on a lamb chop so I'm Confused

Would you tell a Lion to eat vegetables or a rabbit to eat steak?

We are omnivores! YANBU to not eat meat yourself but VVVVVVVVVU to suggest that others shouldn't.

ginmakesitallok · 13/02/2013 19:02

But to answer your question - if you can make a courgette taste like a sausage I might consider it...

Nancy66 · 13/02/2013 19:03

I like pointing out my incisor teeth to any militant veggies...they ain't for tearing tofu you know.

ifancyashandy · 13/02/2013 19:04

As others have said, nothing will stop me eating meat as I only buy / eat good stuff. Don't eat burgers and the like.

Now, back to my lamb curry (home made).

balia · 13/02/2013 19:05

I think we should take a moment to seriously consider the OP's point - I personally am very concerned about the toxicity of the foodchain. I plan to start eating meat that I can be certain is free range and has only been fed a good quality diet that doesn't include other animals.

So I'm going to start eating vegetarians.

ElenorRigby · 13/02/2013 19:05

I am thinking of going back to the days where we grew our own veg in the garden so I know a carrot is a carrot and potato is a potato, I would also like to buy a pig as I adore bacon butties but would get attached to the pig, my only option is butchers or vegetables.

I can't eat chinese food as it might be cat.

No idea how I am going live anymore....

Oh and HAM??? How can anyone not like naice ham?

Butchers for me steak is better there anyway just more ££

Shit now I forgot what the OP was....

KeepingCalmAndPostingNicely · 13/02/2013 19:08

Awesome post AF

"good for you, OP

smashing

now where did I lose that fuck I am supposed to give ?"

Let me know if you find that fuck - I think mine might be hiding out with it. Grin

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 13/02/2013 19:09

I like meat. Good meat isn't cheap, so we have smaller portions now. But ultimately, yum.

absolutmum · 13/02/2013 19:10

Can't beat a nice rare steak, or a bacon sandwich!

I will never give up meat. Ever.
Morrisey and Russel Brand are vegitarians, I don't really want to be like them.

I keep dipping into the book 'Not on the label'.

It raises questions about a lot of shite that we eat - not just meat.

I've been toying with the idea of vegetarianism for ages,and I have to say that these latest revelations have finally tipped me over into stopping eating meat.

Hullygully · 13/02/2013 19:14

Narsty old meat

yuk

hate how specieist humans are, we can dominate, so we will and we will eat other species. Not just that, we will farm animals and treat them appallingly because we can and then put bits of them in a bap with a pickle.

vile

haven't eaten any of it for 30 years
