What the fuck kind of stupid ass post is this? Because I'm a man and vegetarian, I'm gay? That's a piece of shit statement if I ever heard one.
I think this is, hands down, the most ignorant piece of shit post I've ever seen. Here's hoping Mad Cow hits you..
I think he was simply making a joke, while it was of poor taste, theres no need to get your jock strap in a bunch.
:lol:

wasn't funny.not amused. jock strap bunched tightly.

Those canines in your mouth are there for a reason.Now tell me why I have an appendix!
vestigal organs...same reason you (men) have nipples, from wikipedia
The vermiform appendix is a vestige of the cecum, an organ that would have been used to digest cellulose by humans' herbivorous ancestors...
other fun vestigal organs...sounds like an enzo posts...what is your favorite vestigal organ?
tailbone
wisdom teeththe plica semilunaris on the inside corner of the eye (a remnant of the nictitating membrane)[18]; and, as pictured, muscles in the ear[19] and other parts of the body. Other organic structures (such as the occipitofrontalis muscle) have lost their original functions (keep the head from falling) but are still useful for other purposes (facial expression).[20]
I think the pinky toe is also useless

I look forward to the podcast. Columbus is a *much* better place to be vegetarian than my previous city, Cleveland.
As of early February, I'm a vegetarian for 18 years. I stopped eating beef because of the environmental destruction it causes in so many developing countries. Then I got sick of eating chicken, made the switch & have never looked back. So, for me, the reason is now ethical, not environmental.
I also don't wear leather but haven't gone full vegan because I just can't seem to give up cheese.
It's sooo much easier to be vegetarian now then when I started. When I started, there was no such thing as Morningstar Farms, Boca, Gardenburger, etc. You had tofu, tofu hot dogs & some occasional boxed foods/mixes like Nature Burger. I'm not exactly a Top Chef so frozen/processed veggie food is a staple of my diet (for better or worse).
And since it was mentioned before, I have to say I'm a huge fan of the Nothing Better to Do veggie dining blog. It's made my transition to Columbus much easier.

I was a vegetarian for about 20 years. I mainly got into it because it was big component of the counter-cultural scene I was in when I was younger. The punk/ hardcore scene. My reasons for being vegetarian were always convoluted. In my mind I rationalized my decision with this calculation that being vegetarian would reduce my karmic debt.
I was getting bored and started on fish, which is of course a gateway meat. Aside from boredom the main reason I started eating meat is that when traveling abroad my dietary restrictions were a serious obstacle in connecting with the locals. People take food pretty serious in some places. When you refuse it you make an ass of yourself.
Ok, with that off my chest. I've done a 360 and would like to introduce to the Gentleman of the Columbus Underground community a weekly affair.

too funny, that quote.
I mostly consider myself a vegetarian. I was strictly for 9 or so years. I now occasionally eat fish and my one "real meat" vice is very, very occasional pepperoni pizza.
I mostly just eat what I want and I rarely opt for meat, and never, never red meat (aside from the pep, if that is red meat, who knows...?)

Carl was a vegetarian for a long time, but always ate meat when visiting his family (he'd never make them feel awkward about anything they served, and honestly, really enjoyed the meals along with the company, anyway, meat and all). However, it wasn't hard for him to be vegetarian. He never did like meat much (when he eats it, he prefers it very well done).
I've always been a meat eater -- fav thing to eat as a kid was med rare roast beef at Pope's cafeteria (well, and ice cream). I had a lot of friends in St. Louis who were vegetarian, and I tried for a while (for environmental reasons), but I just don't feel good when I don't eat meat. Either this is because I've developed specific bacteria colonies because of eating meat, or maybe there's even something genetic that we don't know about, yet, that makes some of us lean toward vegetarian or meat eater. An additional issue for me is the fact that I have a soy sensitivity, so this was just not a good fit for me.
I do make some great vegetarian and even vegan meals, tho. I enjoy cooking for friends, and enjoyed making vegan dishes with fresh, "not grown for it's shipping ability" produce. This stuff is good whether you're vegetarian/vegan/or not :)

I'm with you Mike Reed- pepperoni is just too divine to give up! :) I have said for a long time that I could never be an absolute vegetarian because I love Pepperoni& seafood too much. My last two long term relationships have been with vegetarians though, so I really don't eat much meat at all. I love that it taught me to be a better cook- way more creative& diverse meals.
I am also very glad that neither were vegetarians with political agendas& were not judgemental about what others ate. I can't stand to listen to that much anymore. And I don't care how much of an animal lover you are, if I ever hear someone compare their dog/ pet to a child again, I may have to punch myself in the face to stop the rage. I don't even have kids, but it is sooooo insulting& ridiculous to make such a comparison ever. Just because you feed, clean up poo for& love a pet- not the same thing. At ALL...For real.

I tried to be a vegetarian once. I lasted 4 days. I love meat.
That said, I'm in excellent shape, my blood pressure/cholestrol are good, I don't have diabetes, I can't remember the last time I was sick.
If you take care of yourself, I don't think it matters if you eat meat.

All in all, I think it's factory faming we should be worried about, if you're worried about the environmental damage that comes from eating meat. Large monocultures of plants-- including soy-- are just as bad for the environment, and FYI, lots and lots and lots of animals are killed when plants are harvested this way, so it's kind of a wash in the end.
I say eat what you want, but I'll stick with small-farm raised meat, dairy and eggs always, and organic and local veggies when I can find/afford them.
There are also different kinds of physiologies. Some people just do better eating not much meat, other people need it all the time to be healthy.
