U2Bama's Vegetarian Thread
Just to clear up any long-standing confusion: I am not, and never have been, a vegetarian.
__________________I realize this fact goes against the very spirit of being a U2 fan, but it is a choice I have lived with my entire life, and, you know, I am okay with it. There are many "vegetarian" food items that I enjoy, but there are also many food items I enjoy that contain meat. I do not wish to eat bean burritoes, falaffel, and Caesar salad every meal of every day, although I do enjoy each of them. I eat the following meat products: beef pork chicken crustacean (shrimp, crab, crawfish) lamb venison (deer) fish (tuna) I am sorry if this disappoints any of you. I couldn't live under your false impressions of me any longer. If it means that I can't be a U2 fan, then so be it. ~U2Alabama [This message has been edited by U2Bama (edited 12-07-2001).] |

My favorite meat is veal.

What's wrong with being an omnivore? Nothing to be ashamed of U2Bama, in fact, Vegetarianism is only healthy if its pulled off properly. I know someone who is supposedly a vegetarian and is ruining her health.

Prima in Walnut Creek California has the best Veal Chop I have ever had...
Bama - Caesar salads have anchovies or anchovy past - so they are not vegetarian. Also, most refried beans use bacon grease... Just FYI |

Although there is a Greek-owned, "Southern cookin" meat & three cafeteria in North Birmingham that serves very good veal, I have avoided ordering it over the past few years becuase I do feel bad for the little baby calves (maybe there IS hope for me?).
Possum, raccoon, or fox would be a very efficient meat source where I live; their roadkill rate is exponential. Ant, if I were to attempt vegetarianism, I would starve to death within a week. Thermopylae, if a restaurant at which I am eating indicates the presence of anchovies on their Caesar, I order it without; most places where I order Caesar Salad are steakhouses (ironically, with a Sirloin), and they use a cheap but very tasty imitation dressing, sometimes scattered with eggwhites, so I guess that would be a violation. MissMacPh, I knew you would do that. ~U2Alabama |

I've eaten squirrel before. A little gamey but tastes like chicken (what doesn't?).

O.K., i try. Producing bio-meat is ehh, growing animals up without help of Hormons ( cow ) or antibiotica ( used for pig, to gain more wieght ) and with enough space to move around. You can think about chickenfarms for producing eggs, there are 7-8 chicken in a cage. You ever been in such a place ? Not very biologic .Just take a look. Ore producing veal, they a calf into a very small box so he can not move around. That is the way to keep veal nice red and tender. But not the way to treath animals.
------------------ I can`t change the world but i can change the world in me. Hearing only what you want to hear and knowing only what you've heart. Read you, Rono. |

There definitely exist in America "biologically produced" (perhaps the proper term is "humanely produced") eggs.

From what I know, most of the meat that I consume is produced algebraically.

actually, all that's done to produce veal is to reduce the intake of iron, it has nothing to do with putting them in a small box (which, actually would be counter-productive because the animal would in all likelihood be very unhealthy, but that's just speculation on my part, of course)

Algebraically, biologically, what's the difference?
