Cow gases are a big source of pollution to the atmosphere, and it's destroying the Ozone.

If we don't eat meat, then the cow population will overwhelm us, and ultimatley be one of the biggest sources of pollution.

Plus, they're ****ing cows. Do they really have any other purpose than be milked and slaughtered? Nope.

Vegetables are good & real good for you. You get all the vitamins you need. I even heard the real vegetarian are healthier than the average person who eats meat & vegetables. ^__^

Nah. The biggest source of pollution would be from the human creations. Such as: cars = burning fuels, wars = nuclears & all that junk. Cows are in the natural pollution category like volcanoes explotions & forest fires I guess. & cows aren't only the source of meat. There are dogs, cats, pigs, snakes, fish, & all that. However, we are meant to eat animals & plants though, it sort of like depends on what we want. If you are a animal lover & you believe that eating animals are dangerous due to fear then be a vegetarian and if you're the opposite then be a cannibal. It's actually no biggy you know. It all depends on you & what you set your diet to I guess.

Passage Exodus 16:12:
12 "I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites. Tell them, 'At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God.' "

How do you think people survived during the earliest years of life? Do you think we would be here if they ate nothing but fruits, vegetables, and fish? No. But, to each their own.

Personally, I don't eat anything other than chicken and veggies. I hate cow, pigg, fish and anything else. It's disgusting how they murder these animals; but then again I never expected the people that kill these animals to play nintendo and be all fine and dandy with the animals. And like someone said God put these animals on earth, so we could eat them, but I'm sure He didn't put them on earth, so we could torture them and beat them.

The only thing that disgusts me more than this is animal cruelty. Like with dogs, cats, and such. How could someone live knowing they tortured any animal that is helpless and can't even cry out for help. I don't wear fur, I will never wear fur. It's sick.

But, I guess everyone's different. Everyone will eat what they wish and that's that.

I am good friends with some farmers and one thing that I can say is that that video is kinda of an insult to them. They make it seem like all farms are like that, where they just beat the **** out of all the animals and dont care. But those shown in the video are only the large industrial ones, so dont rush to a conclusion that thats where you meat comes from.

As of vegetarians, I have a great respect for them. Im trying to make the transition to a vegeterioan for health reasons and it takes a lot of work. For those who have not eaten meet for years have all my cudose...
