Eating Meat (or not)

wh0areume

the saturated fats in meat, steak for example, has been shown to be testosterone boosting, which might explain the energy boost.

Hrm... I find that by eating meat I'm consuming the soul of the creature, this gives me my power on hill climbs and on those really long rides.

But then again... if I really was consuming the soul of a cow I'd really probably just want to stand around all day chewing on grass and swatting flies.


Ahh well... steak tastes good. Bacon tastes goooood

Sewer Rat may taste like pumkin pie, but I wouldn't know 'cause I wouldn't eat the flithy MotherF.....

I was just discussing this with a coorworker, and he informed me that there are such things as "fruitarians". People who will not eat anything 'living', including digging up vegetables etc.

They will only eat what falls to the ground.

I eat what falls to the ground too... after I've shot it...

when i get hungry i just walk through the decomposing flesh section of the grocery store and i quickly loose my appetite

I'm confused... a vegetarian in Abby!? how odd!!

I don't know about you folks out the the 'belt, but we here in the city have large devices that keep our meat nice and cool, frozen sometimes too.

Keeps em from spoiling!

hey vader
where abouts in the big city do you live? what you ride? i stopped eating chicken because i thought that we should not be as cruel as we are to them. and my vagatariansism just progressed from there. now i am repulsed by the whole concept of eating meat. you know the blow flies decomposing rotting flesh csi thing. suppose if i had to i could go back to eating meat. but i believe i enjoy some health benifits from not eating it. as well as the negative kharma thing. but to each his own. hey i belong to a group out here and we just started doing a critical mass ride and we need more support guess when we get closer i will post it.

A friend of mine is putting on muscle by lifting weights (not yet big enough to be called a body builder). He uses protein powder to get the 2.2g/Kg daily allowance on his vegetarian diet.

I'm in New Westminster.

I ride an 06 Devinci Silverstone. I work in Richmond so I usually ride to work a few times a week, and then go for a nice big ride on the weekend.

I'm not opposed to vegetarians.. but I did grow up in Victoria so I've had to put up with the trendy vegans and fake elitist hippies... so its an old habit of getting people's goat from time to time

How often/far do you usually ride? And let me know about the critical mass thing, I'm down for that

I'm not Vegetarian but Fishatarian. Have been now for 10 years. Plenty of energy, low body fat, low cost for food etc. Hate the thought of animals dying just to feed us(don't ask me about fish...don't eat much anyway), and other enviornmental issues with animal production/land use etc.
My wife "converted"(!!) when we got together and we're bringing up our sons as non meat eaters too. They're both very healthy and energetic too.
