David Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I thought of this topic after a bit of a debate with some friends over the inhumane treatment that KFC use when dealing with their chickens. After checking out some of the stuff that they do in the process of taking these creatures from their pens until they reach your plate I have to admit, it certainly makes you think. Â I've always steered clear of fast food places such as KFC, but having read into it a bit more I think I may be tempted to make a complete change in my diet. Â Do we have any vegetarians on the board? If so, what prompted the switch? And how are you feeling (physically as well as mentally) after doing so? Is anyone else thinking of making the jump? Â Thoughts and opinions people, as always... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PowerButchi Posted May 19, 2011 Moderators Share Posted May 19, 2011 Meat is lovely, and makes a meal. In fact, every meal I have has to involve meat. So yeah, I'm not a veggie. Nothing nicer than fresh local farm reared beef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Gordon_The_Gopher Posted May 19, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 We are meat eaters. It's in our genes. Â Actually, I believe there to be studies into the fact that humans are by nature herbivores and developed the ability to eat and digest meat over time. I am likely mis-remembering this, however I think it was to do with teeth, digestion and fingers...? Â Anyways, Quorn makes me consider vegetarianism. Meat makes me know that is never gonna happen. This way, I can have Quorn AND Meat!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted May 19, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 Never. My dad's a butcher, it would be the ultimate betrayal. Not that I could give it up anyway mind, I rarely have a meal that doesn't involve meat, even my quick snacking always consists of slapping some meat on a roll, or having a potted meat, or opening a pack of beef jerky. Â Â Â Love myself a nice pie and Bovril at the football as well. I think I'd have more chance giving up smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz2050 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I tried it for a week to see if I could do it any years ago. It was successful but I wouldn't want to make it a life choice. I've grown to accustomed to is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members SiMania Posted May 19, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 My wife is a vegetarian so I have the odd veggie meal when I cook for her or she cooks something I like. Â I couldn't be one though, meat and fish are just too nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted May 19, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 Nah, not a veggie. I know a fair few, so Im used to eating veggie meals and the like. And its each to their own. But I do always try to make sure any animal products are as ethical as I can. Not always easy or cheap, but I do try.

d-d-d-dAz Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 The KFC stuff, particularly the mini-documentary PETA put out, turned me vege for six months. Then I got drunk one night and the next day my body desperately craved a Burger King. It's been downhill ever since... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Maestro Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I was a vegetarian when I was younger and I do try to vary my diet so that I don't eat meat everyday. There truly is no need to. For the future of the planet with it's ever expanding population, it's probably best for people to try to consume less meat, especially those with children.

mdh85 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I am veggie, and have been for over seven years. Ridiculously easy lifestyle change, and I feel a better person for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Stephanie Posted May 19, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 I'm not a vegetarian but I regularly eat vegetarian products. Specifically the "Boca" range, I love their fake Chicken Burgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
