Oh my.
The things the primitives see, invisible to decent and civilized people.

Why is there such hatred of vegetarians on DU?
Yes, I have read some of the sanctimonious posts by some of them; but I suspect that there are many vegetarians here that are pretty quiet-- and that, like us, do not believe that it is a healthy choice for everyone. (particularly for many younger folks)
We don't insist on vegetarian restaurants; we eat family dinners without making comments about the turkeys and hams on the holidays-- most in our family are amused when we show up with our Tofurkey-- and oftentimes help us eat it in addition to the regular turkey.
What gives here? Why is this such a weird issue on this board?
It's a very big bonfire, apparently a pretty hot issue on Skins's island.

40. Yeah. That "MY shit doesn't stink!" attitude is obnoxious in anyone.
You know, there might be some validity to the vegetablists' argument about excrescence and its odor.
During my junior year in college, among the roommates--we had a big "party place," lots of room--was one from a small town near where i grew up, in the Sandhills of Nebraska. He was an "art" major, and a wild-eyed rabid radical leftist.
Scrawny as Hell, all skin and bones.
For some peculiar reason, he would eat ONLY beef.
I got along with him okay, but could never figure out what his problem was, and to complicate matters further, he was dating--and later married--a hot chick the rest of us lusted for, excepting her far-left-wing fringe politics.
Anyway.
Every time he had to use one of the two bathrooms for sitting-down business, the rest of us hurried to slam up the windows and open all the doors, and run half a block away, so as to escape the killing odor.
So the vegetablist primitives on Skins's island just may be right here.

51. You're aware that the poster you're responding to was just insulted?
When people call us nutty cultists, we should just chuckle and STFU, is that it?

138. What, you don't appreciate the "ever so much better" stank of broccoli, beans and tofu farts?
Why, they smell like.....ROSES!!!
Actually, franksolich with his pure unpolluted sensitive nose can detect people who have dined on fish.....six hours earlier. It's bad.

58. Oh please, that's just as prejudiced and bigoted as saying that any other group of people stinks.
Talk about arrogant and self-righteous.

129. we don't hate all vegetarians but the ones who go around with broad brush attacks on everyone who does not march to their little drum sure are damned annoying.

196. It IS a Cult. Food Fadism Always Is.
I generally hide threads which talk about the evils of eating meat, the nonsense about corn syrup (pure quackery), the virtues of the despicable PeTA, and anything else that smacks of 1960s "back to nature" horse manure.
People who are into food fadism remind me of the fundamentalists.
Islamics are food faddists?

13. Exactly.
It's not vegetarians that makes people hostile, it's the attempt of some vegetarians/vegans people to push their agenda and lifestyle choices on others that pisses people off.
The Rita Hayworth primitive, who would be a first-tier primitive (the second-highest level on Skins's island, after the non-primitives), rather than merely an unterprimitiven (the fifth-highest level on Skins's island, and 99.8% of all the primitives, the faceless lynch mob), if only, if only, she didn't lie so much:

29. Bingo ...........
I have no beef (ahahaha! I slay myself!) with whatever anyone wants to eat. More power to them, so long as they're happy.
At the same time, I expect them to respect my desire to eat what I choose, how I choose. I'm not munching down on baby seals - except at Christmas - and I'm not going out of my way to wave my burger under the nose of someone who finds meat offensive.
But, when the superior air - "I'm a better person than you because I don't eat things that have faces" - arises, all I can do is post my recipe for Braised Baby Calf Face, and hope I don't get booted.
It's not the practice of vegetarianism, just as it's not the belief in a god. I don't care.
If you get in my face about your practices or beliefs and try to tell me that yours are so much better than mine or that I am somehow a deficient, ignorant person compared to you, you're gonna end up in my recipe book under "Face."
The warped primitive brings some sanity to the bonfire:

12. People don't like being preached at and get defensive
Unfortunately for vegetarians, we've got a bad rap from years of new converts acting like new converts to anything (think newly minted ex smokers) and otherwise sensible people become reactionary as a matter of course when they find out someone else is vegetarian. They're just cutting off the lecture before it starts.
Morality vegetarians, whether health martinets or sentimentally opposed to killing animals for food, are deadly.
As for me, I suspect Bittman is right about flesh foods. Limiting them to about half a pound a week per person is optimal. Any more than that is overkill in every sense of the word.
I don't feel good if I eat meat. I know a lot of meat eaters who feel like crap if they don't.
Even I get defensive around morality vegetarians. I try very hard not to allow that to spill over onto the sensible vegetarians.
Anyway, it's a pretty large bonfire, the vegetablists throwing out fury and anger and rage and Hate, and the non-vegetablists being reasonable.

MAdem is on fire in this one! :popcorn:

It is rather amusing that they get annoyed at anyone "preaching" to them yet the very heart of lib existence is to force group behaviour on the masses.

It's not vegetarians/abortionists/gays/socialists/environmentalists/Obama cultists that makes people hostile, it's the attempt of some vegetarian/vegan/abortionist/gay/socialist/environmentalist/Obama cultist people to push their agenda and lifestyle choices on others that pisses people off.
There, fixed it for you.

Why is there such hatred of vegetarians on DU?
Do they even know what "hatred/hate" means anymore? The word is tossed around so casually it has completely lost its value.
As much as I dislike the Little Goons and their worldview, my intense dislike does not rise to they level of Hate. I do know what the word means.

:rotf: :rotf: :rotf:
So the salad shooters are persecuted now too? :sosad:
and by other Progressives no less... :gay:
I think I would be uninvited from Thanksgiving dinner if I said I was bringing tofukey...mom is grossed out by feet and hasn't had sex for almost 50 years

Exactly,and the same goes for their talk of "crimes" etc.
They have corrupted the words to mean anyone that disagrees with them...it is the first actual steps towards fascism.

Food does affect your body odor, but being a vegetarian or some variation of it isn't necessarily an improvement. Two of the most marked effects come from onions and garlic.

I use to sit the grand-niece who was being raised a vegen........when that kid ripped one it was the most incredible, disgusting smell I have ever encountered. Far worse than a chicken coop in heat so summer.......beans. ( well probably legumes more accurately, but still, nauseous)

Just insert GLBT into this primitives rant and see what happens!

We had a vegan couple in our Lions Club. They were the sickliest people I ever saw. Their skin had a green tint to it. I was glad to know that the woman's mother wouldn't allow them to force their vegan crap on their kids. The kids looked fine. Grandma knows best.

Are you sure that they weren't Vulcan, instead of vegan? :-)

All I know for sure is they were oddballs.

I'm surprised that DUmmies aren't more supportive of vegans. Last I checked cabbage was listed as a vegetable. I would assume that if there were more vegans then more cabbages would be consumed which would possibly result in less cabbages on the shelf to strike fear into the DUmmie heart. Or at least the heart of that one DUmmie who was terrified of cabbage.

I worked as an Office Manager for a group of doctors back in the 80's. One of them was a strict vegan. He was the yellowy color of a plucked chicken, and his eyes were the same liver failure yellow. He ran all the time, and had a negative body fat. He thought he was the healthiest person alive, and ended up dying at 47 from anemia. How sad is that? People worry about all the obese people, disgusted by them, and yet, no one thinks that these people are so gross.
-
Ya know, I sure would like to have one of these vegans 'splain to me that according to science, if we had not become carnivores, we would never have come out of the trees. Meat is protein! Protein is BRAIN FOOD, you ****in' morons!
If we never started to eat MEAT, we would basically still be chimpanzees! Amazing they never bring that up!
Think about it! The most intelligent species on earth EAT MEAT! Lions, wolves, eagles, bears (although they are omnivores), how bout alligators and crocs (they have survived for millions of years), the list goes on and on. Now think about vegans. Cows, deer, sheep, rabbits, goats, etc., you get the picture.
So where's the intelligence? Ever met an intelligent cow????????

Well, the cows in the Chik fil A commericals are pretty swift, but past that I can't think of any. Seriously weird people, those vegans. At what point when you look like a Tyson's fresh plucked do you not realize you look like crap? Oh, and when our HAIR is falling out? In clumps? Yeah, you're not healthy. See, that's what's wrong, (well, at east one of the causes), with most of the DUmmies. They have been deprived of brain food for so long, and they have fried another major portion of them smoking so much weed, they just have these tiny, tiny little particles of brain matter left. That's why the Duh,uh,duh1 sounds so good to them.

If I leave the bathroom and the stench kills small animals and causes children to pass out I consider it a job well done.

I gave being a vegetarian a shot for about six or seven months. The business was pretty much odor-free, but really gassy. I think that's why vegetarians are so uptight from trying to hold in all those farts.

To me, vegitarians have the slight odor of bad fish about them. All the time. We all have some body odor unless we go the heavy French Bath route. And it lasts a LIFETIME! :evillaugh:

Screw it, I'd rather stink. I had a nice filet mignon my hubby grilled tonite, perfection! I also have 5 bathrooms in my house. If one stinks, pick another. Or spray Glade. Everyone knows there's nothing quite like the smell of Glade fresh pine scent and a bowel movement mixed together. Makes it smell like you just s#it a Christmas tree. And who doesn't like Christmas trees???
