@Kuba77 You must have had shitty GM grain-fed meat.

I buy fresh organic meat. Throw it over a fire with a pinch of salt and pepper, and you have yourself one of the tastiest things on earth.

"its still only "dead flesh" and it will taste like one"

That makes a about as much sense as me saying, "At the end of the day, veggies are just dead plants, and will taste like it."

Where is it written in stone that dead flesh has no taste? Any evidence to intelligence I thought you had is gone.

Never trust a vegan. 

[ahrchiez]

meat is an essential diet.

@Stefandurrr

Well, be fair, some meats, such as ground beef, taste the same regardless. But that's because it is ground beef.

Also, tougher meats, such as cow breasts (not udders), does take better to longer cooking times, and will therefore have more taste from the sauce, vegetables, etc. in the meat itself.

As for shitty GM fed meat, it's more a quality of life thing. Happy animals means better food. Which is why meat lovers are for happy cows.

What a jerk.

@Higgins2001 Your statistics could be real, fabricated, or temporary. We have tons of wonderful non-animal foods; you CHOOSE unnecessarily to eat abused, slaughtered, innocent, helpless animals. That's your problem. Again the gluttony, it is boring. And you pass judgment on me as well, big deal, get over your "sensitivity" regarding your taste for slaughter. Many people have reversed heart disease, chronic constipation, etc., with a vegan diet, with all that "artery clogging plant matter," lol.

@1221solstice2012 I eat red meat 4-5 times a week, my cholesterol is 85/60, my triglycerides are low, and my blood pressure is 110/70. Meat does not equate to poison. We are also not strict carnivores - I dont know a single meat eater who will refuse a fresh tomato. I would argue that it's not fair to call us ignorant and empty for enjoying flesh. Plenty of plant matter is artery clogging. Spoiled palate? How smug. Some value music, I value food - it's unfair to pass judgement

[1221solstice2012]

What a sad little statement, makes life seem so empty, to revolve around sucking the milk from cows' udders and other forms of cowardice, brutality, abuse of innocence. Their hideous facial expressions say it all...such overblown excitement over eating. Plenty of non-animal foods are fantastic, as well as not being artery clogging. But I guess congestive heart failure etc. are worth the elitist's spoiled palate pleasures. How sad, ignorant, and empty. But the profiting medicos love it.

@vicrobert I'm not mad. I just enjoy swearing.

[rogerlives]

i love eating meat, i mean i really fucking dig it. i put meat in my mouth all the time, sausage, steak, sausage, penis, lamb's leg, venison, hell.

[wubbie4]

I love all the vegans here who know their life sucks so they make bitter comments. Vegetarianism is fine, being a vegan is retarded

[vicrobert]

@12Antoniobu Are you mad? There is a lot of anger in your sentence.
