I do agree that we shouldn't cause unnecessary pain to those animals we use as food; but if we want to eat them, we have to kill them eventually.
All the plants that I eat are dead, so I'm not seeing how I'm morally superior in this regard.

I guess you were talking to Gaijin, but I didn't like fish even when I ate meat. Lobster is OK, but not worth the expense

It's sort of pathetic how, whenever I have a giant amount of work to do, I do nothing productive instead and just check shmupsforum a lot or play games or something useless

It's a step up since plants do not have complex nervous systems capable of experiencing pain, that type of complexity is too wasteful of energy for plants.

Also, I need to watch less speed demos and draw more naked men.

That was the point of my earlier post.

Yes exactly. Not meat is the problem, fat is.
You need fat (see: SURVIVORMAN) to avoid protein poisoning.

Again, moderation is the keyword.

Right. Protein poisoning only could happen in extreme cases, i.e. survivorman having nothing to eat but meat in Alaska for days on end.

Fatty meat is actually a big killer; diabetes and other obesity-related diseases are now the #1 killer in Africa.

On the health front, yes. By this standard though, drugs should be legal, and we know that will never happen no matter how much sense it makes.

Africa? What the fuck man... you been outside lately? The US is shamelessly overweight.

Agreed, it doesn't make sense that it's legal to destroy your body and mind with alcohol while other less poisonous substances are illegal. However, the problem with many controlled/illegal substances is the relatively high potential for addiction. It can't be denied that we have a problem with our "culture drug" alcohol as it is; the goverments of the world are probably afraid of creating more "culture drugs".

There are a number of household items one can use to get fucked up. Vanilla extract (35% alcohol!), morning glory seeds, some cough syrups...even huffing markers if you wanna risk it.

I tried vanilla extract, thinking it would be delicious. It is not. Barely drank a teaspoon

Tobacco... as someone that was hooked on cigarettes for years, I can vouge that they are the fucking devil.

I've recently been eating veggies when hungry and lost 3 pounds this week. I mostly eat those little "baby carrots" yet I feel sad that they are either bread to be midgets or have simply been killed early.

Thinking about your picture makes this fail of ghetto talk even funnier

I think "baby carrots" are just normal-size carrots sliced into bits and run through a spindle-turning machine :lol:

Yeah I found that out after using the "Googling" (Kupo). I totally feel cool about eating them now.
