Eat rocks. The only way to make sure you dont consume products of sth that is or was alive.

Ιn many cases rocks are the fossilised remains of ancient creatures formed under pressure. Not all of them, but you are not in the clear yet 



Some Catholics eat it every Friday but of course it is meat. Although I wold not consider it as healthy if it comes from the pacific ocean because it will have radioactive parts of the Fukushima nuclear disaster and atomic bomb tests in it.

That Animal/Plant-life existed millions of years ago and wasnt purposefully killed to prolong other life forms lifespan.

Rocks are good to eat.

This hypocrisy:

Cows,goat>chickens>fish>plants in terms of which life matters most.

The self-righteous crusade of thinking you are superior to meat eaters for some reason.

The notion that eating meat and killing animals for food is morally wrong. 

You're first point is ridiculous. If you can't see the difference between killing animals and "killing" plants, then there something wrong with you.  There is no hierachy when it comes to animals, for Vegans any way. If you're talking about Vegetarians, I mentioned that in the first comment you replied to. 

Second point only applies to the extremist. Just like religous nut jobs.

3rd point, when comes to factory farming, it is unethical and it's not even debatable. Of course their are execeptions it's necessary for people in certain situations for their survivial. 

 

If there is something wrong with me in seeing that killing one kingdom of life for food is not that much different then another then I am glad and happy that there is something wrong with me. There is also the fact that mistreatment of animals and eating animals for food are different things. I am against the mistreatment of any life and am even annoyed at people that cage birds and snakes for pets. Besides where I am from, we don' have these big factories with massive operations for slaughtering but smaller shops that probably treat animals better but still I am all for properly treating livestock until their imminent death. I am against shocking and bludgeoning animals to death as well since that is more like torture than anything else. Simple as that. Do people not realise that you can be a meat eater and still want better treatment for livestock? Still, in my country where USA drones and militants kill innocent people, I think we have bigger issues than discussing the moral standings of omnivores and self-professed herbivores



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

To anyone who ever says to me that animals are more living than plants I have my fists ready to punch their faces It's annoying if anything plants are more innocent beings then animals. They never hurt anybody and can't even move away from you when you rip their limbs apart. It's like saying a disabled person is less living than a healthy one



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

... this a trick question?



Hmm, pie.

WTF? Of course it's meat! The real question is whether or not bugs are meat. I don't even really consider them alive in the same sense as other animals.

Would you eat a bug, StarOcean?

I would and have. Even as a vegetarian. Me and my gf have debated whether eating bugs really counts or not. We aren't hardcore vegetarians and mostly did it for dietary reasons. I mean, some had to do with the treatment of animals in some of the meat factories (Tyson is especially bad XD)

Well, that wasn't my motive to become a vegetarian.

Its just hypocrisy in my opinion. If you are eating things for health reasons then good on you eat what you want. But if it's something stupid like killing living things then plants are just as living as animals. I feel vegetarians and vegans of that category think they are some superior being deciding which life matters more than others. IH plants aren't living like animals who cares whether they feel pain or not they don't have a nervous system or blood and blah blah blah. Now they are deeming fish to be less of a life as well. Again if its for the benefit of your own body good on you but otherwise vegans and vegetarians are in the same hypocrisy bracket as SJWs and feminazis. Screw their stupid short sighted ideology that is bases on pure hypocrisy

Health reasons, my friend. Nothing about hating meat-eaters. Don't worry, if I wanted meat I could eat it without feeling any guilt XD It was for dietary reasons... sorta. Idk my reason was what most might consider strange.

Yeah, i've seen some of those videos. They can be pretty bad. It still wasn't enough to get me to give up meat, though i can see why it would for some people. When it comes to eating bugs i think its hard to argue against it, considering that we already have to massacre countless numbers of them to grow our crops in the first place.

I've thought about eating insects before, still haven't gotten around to trying it. What kind of bugs have you eaten, and what do they taste like? Ive heard crickets taste kinda like nuts...



The answer is, of course, yes and no. Like so many words in English, "meat" has multiple meanings. Meat in its primary definition is "the flesh of an animal". Since fish are animals, fish is meat. However, this if more for biology. In the culinary world, meat is used primarily only for the meat of a mammal. Therefore a chef or proper grocery would separate "meat" into meat, fish and poultry. It really has nothing to do with Catholicism, but Catholics do use the culinary definition of meat meaning mammal meat when it comes to abstaining. From the dictionary:

2
: animal tissue considered especially as food:
a : flesh 2b; also : flesh of a mammal as opposed to fowl or fish
b : flesh 1a; specifically : flesh of domesticated animals

So if you want to speak correctly, if you are a vegetarian obtaining from meat, you would include all "flesh of animals". If you are at the grocery picking up some salmon to go with pasta, you wouldn't say you're there for meat; you're there for some fish.
