Guest guest Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 At a recent bar-b-que, I heard a man who was slapping condiments onto his burger while a vegetarian woman was covering her plate with salad holler out to her (obviously only for his own amusement), " If God hadn't meant us to eat animals, He wouldn't have made them out of meat! " My prayer at our Labor Day picnick will be offered to a God who is compassionate to all of his creation! I want to wish you all compassionate, enjoyable, tastey holiday gatherings! We praise You, eternal G-d, ruler of the universe. You make Your love and loyalty apparent to us through this animal. We celebrate You as we celebrate this opportunity to become better people through caring for and loving this pet. We thank You for allowing us its care as You allow us Your eternal guardianship.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 H@mburger aye? I hope the dude knew that he was indeed eating " all " of the animal and not just the " meat " portions of the animal from that H (AT) mburger (DOT) . If there is one thing that I don't miss, it's those mystery/hard nuggets that come along with it. The only mystery prize I want inside of my food comes from inside a cracker jacks box. I love knowing that I can make one of Donnas big ole awesome black bean burgers and enjoy it freely without wondering what mystery bits are in it and how much cholesterol and fat is in it. S.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I think you missed my point! I was offended by that man saying, " If G-d hadn't meant us to eat animals, He wouldn't have made them out of meat! " I don't think the texture matters, or little pieces of other parts of that animal's body! Its the cruelty that got that piece of one of G-d's creatures onto his bun that offends me. And that, to only his own entertainent, he teased a vegetarian that G-d created animals for his consumption. And, if we can be honest in this format, I'd like to ask why you kept some of my origional message, but deleted the word " G-d!? " H@mburger aye?

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 maybe cause G-d isn't a word? why do you delete the O in God? Barbara, you remind me of someone else who used to be on the list. What I would tell her when she would say similar things, is that I totally agree, and I tell my family that we shouldn't raise God's creatures to be slaughtered. Although I would never reat meat myself, I do have more respect for the hunter, or fisherman that will go kill his/her prey and utilize every part. At least they are then acting like animals themselves which although sad, is more respectable then rasing animals only for slaughter. I feel this way but I cannot force my opinions on others. That loud mouth you encountered is not the stereo typical meat eater around vegetarians. Over this holiday weekend I have had much company, and they were ALL meat eaters, me being the only vegetarian, and I found everyone except for my own mother to be very polite to me about it. I sympathize with you, but we can't change the world, we can only do what we think is best ourselves. We are such a minority that to try to change everyone would leave us bitter people cause it won't happen.
