Vegans and "meat style" tofu
So what's the deal with meat style tofu/soy product?
If it is so wrong to eat meat why is it ok to want to eat meat so much you make your soy taste like fish? Sounds like a hypocritical double standard to me.

i eat soy/tofu products because they're less fattening than some of their meat counter parts, but i eat meat too.
As far as not eating animal products because you're killing animals....thats stupid. Cows arent slaughtered for their milk and chickens arent beheaded for their eggs and yet those fools dont eat those products either. FAIL. For the record, every vegan i know, looks like they're in the final stages of hepacanceraids type 7. There are things that the human body needs that you cant get from anywhere else but meat. |

To each their own.
You don't feel like eating meat. Fine by me. Just don't get all militant if I decide to chow down on a nice, juicy filet mignon. LOL @ hepacanceraids type 7!!! |

If it is wrong to eat meat, to me, it is wrong to want to eat meat.
Eating meat style tofu is you wanting to eat meat but not having the balls to do so. That is all my opinion btw.

Well maybe it is about having the balls, maybe not.
(could be allergies to meat, self-righteousness, personal preference, etc). Could be they dislike everything about meat and dairy products, but the flavor. As another poster mentioned, to each and their own device. Mock soy meat can be pretty good though. Imo it doesn't taste the same, but not entirely different either. |

chicken-less chicken and beef-less beef is bomb.
"Cows arent slaughtered for their milk and chickens arent beheaded for their eggs and yet those fools dont eat those products either. FAIL." vegans don't eat eggs because of the torture chickens are put through for the harvesting of said eggs (insert video link followed by "...and knowing is half the battle!"), same with cows milk, not to mention I never enjoyed drinking puss or blood with my milky "goodness", as a meat eater or no; speaking of milk though, find me a woman that is down with being impregnated and her babies taken away for eating just so I can suckle her tit milk dry and I will gladly indulge in the drinking of cows milk. note: I do eat meat |

Neither of those scenarios are always true. I have raised chickens and help raise dairy animals and see no problem with the two products. Now if the case is that you don't like the process or industry then by all means don't buy from companies you don't like. I try to buy fair market coffee, chocolate, and tea for that very reason. Edit: Milk and eggs are screened extensively for any contaminates. Each cow's milk is held separate from the others and checked to ensure it's quality before being mixed with the others. Cows do get infections from time to time but that is to be expected and any tainted milk is discarded.

Bieng a Vegan on grounds that it hurts the animals is pretty absurd.
How can any civilized person live without eggs & cheese? As if being vegetarian isn't restrictive enough. Tried seeing how long I could be a vegetarian once. Think I only lasted about 9-10 days before beginning to feel fatigued all the time. |

I disagree completely! EVERYONE has wants and urges, but being able to maintain those urges shows one's level of maturity. Not having balls? There's nothing hard about doing what you want, especially when it's something so widely available and simple like eating meat, but stopping yourself and putting your morals and beliefs before your impulsive needs requires "balls." I don't like the idea of "fake meat" either, but my friends tricked me into eating it and was pretty good!

Men can get away with a Vegan diet a lot better than women. women need animal protein and blood and so on. it not healthy.
my sister is vegan and she has a whole shelf of supplements she needs cause she doesnt get shit from her food. which is totally bizarre. pretty much all she eats are boca burgers (which are kinda good) and pasta or a crazy pile of pan fried veggies with a shit ton of peppers. if i could afford it i would eat strictly kosher/organic meats. but who the fuck has the money for that? |

The animals are already dead from a life they were bred for in the first place. It's a waste if they died and we didn't eat them.

Your Statement is completely False.
Animals were NOT created for the Purpose of Food. They were turned that way by Man.... Quote:

Its not absurd... Another Human eating Another Human has to sound Very Absurd to you.. and it is.. Cutting down a animal for the pure reason of food is pretty absurd. Especially since we Harvest Animals now... Do not get me Wrong, I eat Meat/Steak, but i do not like the way they are Slaugthered .. Alot of People can Live without Eggs and Cheese... I do.. I also can not have Dairy Products of any type... I do Just Fine... I am not having any problems what-so-ever.. Again, Vegan is a Choice on how to live your life.. Thats all ... I have personally tried it and I had a hard time with it because of my lifestyle.. In Closing, its all just a choice.. You Eat Meat, its your choice, You are a Vegan .. Just choice.. You eat dirt, same thing.. /Just My 2 Cent's |

We are designed to eat plants/grains AND meat. Now, yes there are some valid points in this thread. SOME parts of the food industry contain very harsh treatment of animals. For example, SOME egg producing chickens are kept in cages so small, that they cannot even move, except moving their neck to reach their food and water. SOME cows are injected with steroids and such to produce larger cuts of meat, more milk, etc. HOWEVER, this is not the "end all, no other choice, everything must be this way" of the food industry. There are many consumers, myself included, that still eat a "normal" diet and attempt to avoid such products. I provide for a family of 6, and do so with "NON-CRUELTY" acquired products. We eat steak, we eat chicken, we eat eggs, we drink milk, etc, etc, etc. But we are conscious of where get it from. I do not condemn anyone who has the made the choice not to eat pork, beef, chicken, fast food, pencil erasers, WHATEVER. I am just stating that there are other methods out there to achieve some of the same results.

Extracting dairy & eggs, I just don't see that being cruel to the animal. Just seems unplausibe for those taking the extra step to become a Vegan (from a Vegetarian), on the basis that it's cruel. |

This is why being a vegan for purely anti-animal cruelty reasons is absolutely ignorant and absurd. If they've got other reasons ( health, religious, etc.) i can respect those. But again, humans are omnivores. Meat is SUPPOSED to be part of our diet. |

As far as chicken soup goes the broth is made up of seasoning and connective tissue dissolved in water. If made correctly there are no "flavorings". When I make soup the only part "man" had any part in is chopping the veggies and throwing it in a pot with the chicken. If you are wrong I'm calling you out. I don't care who's side you are on if it's wrong it's wrong. Next Time you post, make it correct. EDIT: Where were you helping my point? A counter point does not help me.

I am a firm believer if you eat plants, you don't care about the environment.
