Food / Is brain-damaging vegan fad growing in Poland? [176]
Unfortunately, no other governments had had the guts to form such ethical laws since the nazis, pity ;)
Probably not. But I read somewhere that we eat like 7,000 animals in a lifetime. That's still 7,000 lifes spared when you're a vegetarian.
Or, if you prefer, 7,000 deaths you won't participate in. That's quite something, especially if you like animals ;)
Indeed, vegetarians/vegans don't expect cruelty to just disappear. They want to minimize it as much as possible.
As to animal testing, alternative methods exist. I'm not saying we could avoid 100% of all animal experiments, but some cruel experiments really could and should be avoided.
True. But there's something nice about humans: we have moral/ethics. We don't do just what we want. We are responsible beings (or at least we're supposed to). Responsability is the key word here I think. I'm not shocked when a lion catches and kills a antelope, but I am when I see humans treating animals like they were furniture from IKEA, that we can "produce", kill, disassemble and stock.
(Actually, furniture from IKEA may receive a better treatment than the animals we eat)
Vegans reject all animal products. The thing is: as every (mammal) female, cows don't produce milk all the time. They have milk only when they have to feed their calf. In the dairy industry, cows are inseminated every year, so they can "produce" a calf (and MILK). The separation of the cow and its calf happens ASAP after birth (which, apparently, make them scream and look for each other for days) so we can get as much milk as possible. If the calf is a male, it will only live a few months and then be slaughtered. If it's a female, it will become like its mother and have a short and exhausting life.
A cow can live about 20 years in the wild. Dairy cows in the dairy industry do not live more than 5-6 years. As soon as they "produce" less, they are transformed into minced meat for hamburgers.
Vegans are not crazy. They're actually very logical... ;)
Becoming vegetarian is actually easy. Turning vegan is a bit harder, but probably more rewarding.
Pro's and con's, I don't know, it depends. Becoming vegetarian was probably the best decision of my life (so far). I can't find any serious con. It's all good to me. The food is diverse, rich, tasty, and healthy (I eat more organic food now than when I was an omnivore). And it feels so much better to know that what you eat hasn't caused any pain.
I think vegetarians and vegans generally have a more diverse (and quality) diet than omnivorous people. They eat more fruits, vegetables, legumes, cereals. The vitamin and mineral intake is generally good. But yes, as any diet, you can miss out on some vitamins and minerals.
Vitamin B12 is a famous "problem". But it can be easily fixed.
Various studies have shown that vegetarians are healthier (and live longer apparently) than omnivorous people. Vegans do even better...
I think I read somewhere that there could be some sort of drug addiction with meat... ;)
I can share my own experience. Ever since I'm a vegetarian, I don't feel hungry all the time, and I haven't gained much weight.
I think our body adapts to what we give it (food).
One more thing: there are "famous" vegetarian/vegan bodybuilders. But to be honest, I don't know if they take steroids or any other food supplement ;)
True. But we're no lions or wolves or cats. We are humans. We can adapt, think, make the difference between good and bad, and change our habits to suit our moral/ethics. I really like wolves, but I don't expect them to do anything like that ;)
Mm, I wouldn't be so sure about that. Our meat industry (in the whole EU including Poland (very probably)) also uses all sorts of hormones, antibiotics, etc. Which is not surprising considering how important meat is in our culture. When you need to produce that much, I think hormones and antibiotics are inevitable at some point.
It's really late here. We'll keep talking tomorrow, if you want to ;)
I stated they were among the first to form animal welfare laws which groups like PETA fight for.
Unfortunately, no other governments had had the guts to form such ethical laws since the nazis, pity ;)
You don't have to be a vegetarian to put a dent into animal cruelty.
Probably not. But I read somewhere that we eat like 7,000 animals in a lifetime. That's still 7,000 lifes spared when you're a vegetarian.
Or, if you prefer, 7,000 deaths you won't participate in. That's quite something, especially if you like animals ;)
I think I'd rather have a new drug tested on a rat than a human being.

even other animals are cruel to each other. Ever see a cat catch a mouse?

If I gave up eating meat
for even a week, I'd probably eat like pasta, potatoes, rice, etc. and probably gain weight thanks to carbs and still feel hungry all the time.

Good for their image ;) But it has nothing to do with vegetarianism/veganism today.
I wouldn't care much about what a guy who supposedly wanted to ban slaughterhouses for animals but created slaughterhouses for humans said ;)
Phew! ;)
I understand. Habits. You were born and raised with meat at every meal (more or less). That's probably the hardest part to get over. But it wasn't hard for me. The moment I saw the piece of meat in my plate not as just food but as the (bloody) part of a sensible being who had had a miserable life and a cruel death, I had no problem to quit eating meat.
That's true. Tofu alone is quite tasteless. But if you know how to cook it (and what to cook it with), it can replace meat.
I almost never eat tofu anyway.
I've had a veggie kebab lately (with seitan), very nice.
They don't eat just that, but yes, they're more likely to "save the world and end cruelty to animals" than the persons who don't act.
There's a HUGE difference between killing animals by accident and a system that "breeds" and kills them ON PURPOSE by billions every year.
Human consumption intentionally kills over 1,000 BILLION animals every year. If this is not a massacre, what is it?
Also, I'm pretty sure that most of the world production of soy beans is intended to livestock, not humans. So if you think about it, by eating meat, you kill animals twice: the rabbits in soy bean crops and the cows in industrial farms ;)
I stated that they were some of first people to create animal welfare laws.
Good for their image ;) But it has nothing to do with vegetarianism/veganism today.
He also wrote in his diary that Hitler planned to ban slaughterhouses once the war ended

Thanks Polson that's very nice of you but I was just joking.

I honestly don't feel like I've had a good meal unless it has meat in it.

I'd fell hungry all the time if all I ate was salad and tofu.

veggie burgers
I've had a veggie kebab lately (with seitan), very nice.
They think that by only eating wheat grains and tofu that they're going to save the world and end cruelty to animals.
They don't eat just that, but yes, they're more likely to "save the world and end cruelty to animals" than the persons who don't act.
Well actually, millions of animals each year are killed by white and soy bean combines each year.

Indeed. Barbarians do that. Civilised people can decide and act differently (ok, this is provocation, a little, but somehow true ;)).
This is all political, Adrian. The nazis needed to work on their image. And showing empathy to animals helps a lot!
As to Hitler being a vegetarian, this is VERY debatable. If this really was true, it could have been for medical reasons (the guy wasn't very healthy). Also, apparently, Hitler's favourite meal contained meat.
This is unfair (and wrong). Vegetarianism was not created by Nazi Germany, please... Some Ancient Greeks like Pythagoras were vegetarian. Were they nazis?
Adrian, you're smarter than that. Come on.
Do you kill it yourself or...?
Meat is basically dead animals, reared (especially in Poland) in a cruel way and slaughtered so a particular species can steal the protein and carbohydrate from their corpses.
Indeed. Barbarians do that. Civilised people can decide and act differently (ok, this is provocation, a little, but somehow true ;)).
Himler banned trapping and put severe restrictions on hunting while Goebels, a conservationist himself, described Hitler as a vegetarian.

I agree with everything you said, except the last sentence (of course ;)).
Not sure what you mean by "trendy PC causes to promote". I don't see why extending our empathy to our four-legged (and two-winged/finned) companions would be a "trendy PC cause".
If meat is not an absolute necessity, why would I keep causing pain and suffering to so many beings?
This is a genuine question. I don't see it as a naive "trendy PC cause", but more a real philosophical, ethical questioning.
Only if we see animals as mere objects can we keep treating them this way. Otherwise, we need to rethink a few things.

Various nutritional deficiencies are found among omnivorous people too.
Most of the synthetic B12 world production goes to livestock supplementation. Which means that the B12 we get from the animals we eat actually come from food supplementation and medication these animals get in "farms". I'd rather supplement myself directly than through dead animal flesh.
Vitamin D can be synthesised by your body just by sun exposure.
As to calcium, the countries where dairy products consumption is the highest are also the ones where bone problems (such as osteoporosis) are the most commonly found. Calcium can be found in non-animal products.
This is very true. A diverse and balanced diet is one of the keys to a good health. But meat consumption is not vital. A diverse and balanced diet without animal products can be very healthy.
Homo sapiens is an omnivore indeed. Which means that we, humans, CAN eat everything (more or less). Not that we HAVE TO.
Humans have always adapted their diet to what their environment could "produce". Most of humans are lactose intolerant. While others eat insects.
We eat too much meat. And emerging countries like China and India tend to eat more and more meat. Which will cause great environmental and ethical problems.
By eliminating all animal products from the diet vegans increase the risk of certain nutritional deficiencies.

InPolska, Poland has been in the middle of both the Eastern and the Western 'worlds' for centuries, and has been influenced by both.
Some Poles may be kind of 'ashamed' of being called Eastern Europeans, for the pejorative connotation the term may carry. But lots of Poles don't really feel ashamed, they just feel it's not really accurate. They know they're a sort of mix of these different cultures. They cannot consider themselves Eastern (only). Also, Eastern implies orthodox. Poles are catholic. That's a huge difference, culturally speaking.

Genealogy / How Daniel surname is common in Poland? Could it have had its origins in the 17/18th c. Scottish immigration? [9]
Not necessarily. Surnames that look exactly like first names are very common in France for instance. Could be the same (a bit less maybe) in Germany.
Daniel is of Hebrew origin, but the people who bear this name are generally not Jewish.
Now, in Poland, who knows?...
sounds more Jewish than anything else to me to be honest

And before you say anything, if you don't like the country you live in, why don't you go back to your country, or to another country you'd feel closer to?
Many Arabs (not all of course) are our Mexicans, if I can make the comparison. They often live within their own community, and have much stronger ties with their fellows than with their country of adoption (France). And this is good...for no-one.
Why dont we bring the hooligan culture with us like them?
a nation of fighters and warriors who love to fight
Is that a culture? I thought the Poles were (still) largely Christian, not skinheads.

We're not France

Life / Conflicting views about life in Poland? [45]
Complaining is one of the fav hobbies of people, every people, not just in Poland. In France, we say 'l'herbe est toujours plus verte ailleurs', the grass is always greener on the other side. I guess you know what I mean. This is not specific to Poland and Polish people.
every time I chat with Polish person he/she keep complaining that life in Poland is ****** and bad
