Vegetarians are cruel to vegetation, which are living creatures.
In fact, if one is a "moral" vegetarian (as opposed to a "health" vegetarian), then s/he should support "inorganic" chemically loaded synthetic foods as nutrients of choice. I guess you could also eat freshly dead-of-natural-or-accidental-causes carcasses. Accidental-dead carcasses are better because they are probably younger healthier meatier specimens.
True that. I'm a breatharian. I subsist only on air to spare our leafy friends as well.
I remember talking to a guy from Greece- he said that here, all the plants are big and lush to the eye, but there is nothing left over for the other senses.
I'm sure you could touch the stuff.

Vegetarians actually kill far more animals than meat eaters. For every acre of wheat or corn they eat, many field mice, snakes, etc. die. So for humanitarian reasons, eat cows.
Seriously: I'm not a vegetarian, but I do respect the idea, and there's a good chance I would be if I wasn't such a jerk. As for organic foods, I really don't care. I'd rather pay less and get more, although I admit that organic fruits often taste better.
Not seriously: I'd think that all you vegetarians would be used to seeing pictures of dead seals; isn't that the main source of your propaganda?
Seriously: I'll delete it if the majority deems it particularly irksome.

That's different; mice and snakes piss us off, whereas cows don't, therefore manufacturing cows and eating them is not ok. If the cows were released into the wild because people stopped eating them, then they would start to piss us off, and only then would it be ok to eat them. Also, we don't kill mice and snakes directly or for any selfish purpose, that way it's not as morally disconcerting. If we actually gave the mice a clean, painless death and took care of them insead of just letting them starve, and we made use of them in death, then it would be morally wrong.
hmmm I need to seriously reevaluate my life.

You monster!; How can you bear to murder all of those innocent, floating microorganisms for your own selfish gain?

You bet you do!

A man's gotta eat.

Also Hogs, Chickens, and Turkeys all the ugly ones. Then we can start on the cute ones; Bunnies, Lambs, Calves, Deer, Horse, and Duck.
You know what I never heard about anybody being offended about someone killing and consuming a Rattle Snake. Imagine that, what a surprise.
Jules: I don't eat dog either.
Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charming mother****** pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?

Alright I love meat but when it comes to eating another meat eater, I don't know. Dogs, cats, it's like who would eat a Vulture? I know that there are people who eat dogs and cats on this planet and I am sure they would prefer a Whopper.
Do you eat pork?
Isn't that the truth -- never more evident than when you find them in the wild:
My theory is that strawberries have the same amount of strawberry flavour no matter how big or small. As you can imagine, these are delicious and don't just taste like water.
To be fair almost all wild species of berries or whatever are going to be smaller because of years and years of selective breeding. Human aided natural selection caused these enormous growths.
Well that's exactly the point, isn't it? We've selectively bred for size and not flavour and then layered on top of that fertilizers and pesticides to maximize size and yeild respectively.
One thing's for certain, though: they aren't dairy.
Okay that is a set up question. What mammals do Hogs eat?
Any mammals we feed them -- pigs are omnivorous just like us. Note that we also have a history of supplementing herbivore feed with animal proteins as well, which is what led to the whole mad cow scare.
I think, actually, that we may still do this, but now largely use menhaden (fish) instead of protien from cows, sheep or pigs for cattle -- these land-based animal protiens may still be used for chicken feed, however, as there's no known human health ramifications of doing so.
On a side note, in the case of Canada's biggest serial killer/pig farmer, the mammals they ate included people.
