Obviosuly someone like an orthopaedic surgeon or possible an ER doctor will know less about diet than say, a heart consultant. But a GP should know a fair amount.

I've a locto-ovo vegetairian for over four years. It wasn't hard for me to give up, since the only meat I ate usually was chicken and balogna.

I can understand how it would be hard for some people to give up meat though, since that's the way I feel about giving up dairy. I want to, but I'm picky enough already. It's mainly cheese I can't give up, and now after finding out where it comes from I'll have to make sure to get rennet-free.

To be honest, you can't have <i>rennet-free</i> cheese. It wouldn't work, but er, they subsitute the meat rennet for fungus rennet.

No, i'm not. And why should I? not eating meat won't stop the animals from getting killed.....I'm fine, unless they make cat meat...

Please tell me my sarcasm meter just needs retuned. You did not just say that >.<

I didn't? Ok, I didn't. Lets put it that way.

I think the general gist is that unless the entire world turn vegetarian, animals will still be killed for their meat.

Read 'ME not eating meat won't stop the animals from getting killed'.

And I do believe you knew that very well

It wont stop all animals getting killed, but this 'it wont make a difference attitude' is probably why people will happily spend five minutes feeling bad for african babies killed by nestle then go buy themselves a kitkat >.<

Yeah, anyway, to say not eating meat will not make a difference is just wrong as any one person not eating meat is causing less deman dfor it and well.. yeah, while it does not mean the collapse of meat, I'm pretty sure NOT eating animals will mean less are killed than if you do, yes? Hell, it's not even like everyone has to stop eating meat for it to stop anyway. If so few ate it that supply and demand laws killed the meat industry that'd be the end of it also.

Oh yeah, and I'm not actually preaching about this kinda thing as I just don't anyway >.< It's each persons choice, but for some reason you get idiots trying to take the moral high ground for being vegetarian and equal ignorance from a wave of people who feel so much smarter than these people denying themselves of something that's obviously right.

Um... since that can be taken more than one way, are you saying that people believe that how they eat is correct, so they put themselves above others, or that being vegetarian is obviously the right way to be?

Didn't mean to start this...

I'm not vegetarian, since I eat small amounts of most meats except for beef. [I don't like beef. It gets stuck in my braces.]

I meant that anyone who takes the moral high ground is just trying to have a bit of an ego trip, whether it be the vegetarian or meat eater, and that people should accept the others choice and not preach. While I'm happy to debate my views if they're challenged, vegetarians who go about trying to preach it to people constantly are awful, as are people who hassle people about why they're not eating meat constantly.

Oh well, I eat meat due to religious reasons.
(Thanks saph for the verse)
How about that. The Bible instructs us to eat meat.

I'm an Athiest. If the published media instructs me to eat meat, I won't, thus no different with the bible.

I know, I wasn't trying to preach, I just wanted to demonstrate something different for once - that not only can religion ban you from eating meat, it can instruct you to do so as well. This goes out to all those who cited Christianity as a reason for being vegeterian.
