i have never touched meat in my entire life, not thats its relevant but had we not been influenced by the afghan/pak culture meat wouldn't have delved as deep as it has now and apparently it has become a favorite meal for a major percent of the population now.
 
:lol:

Sus - I'm not sure where you live, but I work for Henry's, and we sell free-range/organic eggs, so I'm certain if you can find a Wild Oats or a Whole Foods near you, they'll have em too

No. Commercial "free range" doesn't really mean free range. Especially at a huge store like Whole Foods or Wild Oats. Free range in the business means the cage they're kept in is 10"x10", not 6"x6", and there's only 2 chickens per cage instead of 5. Or something along those lines.

It's fucking bullshit. I will only get them if they're from a farm in which I can see the fucking chickens outside on sunny days down the road from me, or if it's from my own chicken. (Preferably my own).

You get dumber with every comment, unreal.

No... the fact you can't believe that only goes back to your ignorance and sheltered lifestyle.

Most of the world does not live like Americans. Or Western Europeans. You should be grateful you can afford and have a society that can provide you with the food you want, whether it be a hotdog, or a steak from a first class resturant. You should be thankful.

It's really pathetic that you are that unaware of the rest of the world. Most people can't afford meat. Most people can't even afford a bed like yours that you sleep in every night. I remind myself to be grateful of these things regularly. Perhaps you should, too.
 
No need to get rude about it. Which book was it? So I can research this myself. Was it a college course? Or Nightschool?

College course. The book is at home so I don't remember the name of it. It's just like one of those generic, huge, sciency textbooks you get in school. It was a technology/environmental class called Living in the Environment.

I really have no idea who it was by, it never dawned on me to look because it was a course textbook you know? Not something I'd read for pleasure. I'm sure you can find more on this elsewhere, but I don't know. When you search for it on the internet it just comes up with stupid websites saying why you should be vegetarian. Perhaps try library databases?

Anyway I'm not making it up, and I highly doubt my professor was either. She's a great person and we've kept in contact even though I took this course a couple semesters ago. And I dont' really see why the book would lie...What would be the point?

Edit: I found an article that mentions it. It just says "Only a third of the world is meat-eating and two-thirds vegetarian."
It also mentions absorbing iron from vegetables is harder than absorbing it through meat...which isn't really true. So I wouldn't take this article as absolute truth, just thought I'd post it anyway since it's the only thing I could find right now.

wow, I showed this semi-wigger kid some heavy metal and he was loving it. I work out with this kid some times and I showed him "master of puppets", "baptism of fire" by sodom, "lashed to the slave stick" by nile and a couple of behemoth songs. This kid was loving it, even headbanged to several songs :lol: :lol: :kickass:

I never imagined I would ever see a wigger headbang to "master of puppets" :lol:

he even liked the nile song, I couldn't believe someone unfamiliar with metal could tolerate such vocals
 
you had to see this to believe it. It was hilarous

imagine your local wigger (although he's not a full blown wigger, he talks normal english and dresses only halfway wiggerish) headbanging to sodom :lol: :lol:

Thanks for that did'nt shed too much light on the'2/3' thing. This could go on forever as I really don't believe that, and you say you have been taught this information. Meh.
 
It IS true. A huge percentage of Indian foods (eaten within the country) is vegetarian in nature. Meat of any sort is far from 'acceptable' in a large fraction of homes.

Kudos to whoever pointed out the difference between Indian foods and Indian foods eaten in America. They'd obviously be slightly 'altered' to suit the taste of the customer.
