hase...Your point not very er...new.

I personally don't think people should question how much other people do out of "ethics".
It's like saying you are a hypocrite only giving ten bucks to a bum because you still have 500 in the bank.
People have the right to determine what and how much they are willing to sacrifice for others (in this topic that includes animals). Doing something is more than doing nothing.

@edraket:

I really am sorry, I didn�t realise that this was the "find the most innovative point" thread.

I don�t criticise people for sacrificing something for others, what I am not comfortable with are people who make small, pointless sacrifices in order to feel better about themselves while actually accomplishing nothing.
And personally I think you should question all and everything you find objectionable. Especially other peoples ethics.

I just realized my last post got rather emo.

What I meant to say is that I still believe 99% of the world's population sucks, but the way in which we go about revealing our suckage is pointless to dwell on.

And I also meant to say: Very Happy

Considering 1% of the world's population is about 63,000,000 people... I think I'm being rather lenient. Wink

What do you think you are accomplishing with your messages then if you don't have any kind of point to make? Any logic or reason behind your opinions you'd tell.

everyone, do what you will, i�m not criticising anyone - i just stated an opinion.

SolarC: chill. then reread. then you know how I feel about the subject. eot.

Wow... im really gonna head for the breatheterian llifestyle. Think about it, live only on air, sounds so healthy...

No seriously. I've been a lakto-ovo-vegetarian for almost three years now. And I've decided to go back to eating some meat. Of course its possible to survive on a vegetarian diet. But i wanna do more than just survive. I've noticed that wounds heal more slowly, my nails get broken alot, i have dry skin, im tired alot. I've seen/heard of these effects on other vegetarians. Dont know if they would admit it though... I think most of it comes from the lack of protein. Of course i could eat some more protein but I dont wanna eat til I explode. Besides I got better stuff to do than to eat all the time.
But i still think that a lot of animals are being treated wrong. I will therefor preferably eat fish and wildcaught animals.

veggie_iller:

Most common thing what vegetarians lack is the vitamin b12. B12's primary function in the body is the formation of the red blood cells. I think that might explain the slower healing of your wounds if you are low on that.

another possibity could be anemia = a lack of iron.

Iron is easily found from many vegetables and do not require too much eating. You just have to know what to eat. (And same goes for protein by the way.)

B12 you can get from meat, milk products, eggs or as a vitamin suplement. It is a water solulable vitamin and therefore does not store up in the body for long. It is best to get some of it every day.

Hope this helps.

a vitamin supplement made from smashing koalas against large stones! OH MY!!

I like koalas... =(

I really wish they wouldn't tackle my reindeer when I'm practicing ballet.
