I could never do that, because I cannot eat vegetables, I can eat fruits, but not vegetables, although I can eat potatoes, which is odd, but delicious. Being a carnivore has also left me with a great strength that I can almost guarantee you I wouldn't have if I didn't eat meat.

Yeah but I want to stay of sausage for awhile as that was disgusting.......it tasted exactly like a stinky barn smells. =(

actually..I feel better on a raw diet than I ever have eating meat. Eating meat makes me feel sick and makes me tired now. I feel better, look better and have a lot more energy eating raw. I don't want to sit here and preach about it, because it is a lifestyle choice. I made the choice and I'm seeing better results about myself and I mentally feel better.
If you feel good eating meat, than that is great, keep doing it.

ok...

sorry, I wasn't quoting you, I was quoting the peregrine ^.^

I can never give up meat.
It'll take armies of tainted hotdogs to turn me into a hippie.

Depending on what they're contaminated with, and if you get a large enough dose, you may not get a chance to survive one tainted hot dog.

Not to be a kill joy. I love meat too. ...but I never want to eat tainted anything. You're taking your life in your own hands if you don't take precautions.

While you can't do everything, one suggestion is to just cook any meats you get through fast food venues. So if you get a burger, take it home and microwave it until the meat sizzles all the way through. If need be, take it out of the bun and heat it even further in the microwave or stove. Heat will kill e-coli, so even if it tastes horrid it would still be safe. Obviously do the same with meat from the store. Cold meats I don't know what to do with. If anyone knows how to treat those, let me know!

...It's a totally different situation with canned foods though. The bacteria that thrives in low-oxygen environments produces a toxin that I believe is a neurotoxin. So killing the bacteria will not make it safe and you suspect it is somehow tainted then don't eat it and just throw it away.

This was all probably unnecessary since you likely already know all of this, but food safety is a big concern for me so I'm going to say all this anyway. razz

why is it that people think vegans or vegetarians are hippies?

Because they don't have any education whatsoever as their education is "Either your a man or your a hippie/f**" (Pardon use of the "f" word as I despise it.)

A raw diet? I thought you were a vegan. Raw Diet makes it sound like you eat your meat raw and don't cook it.

Didn't you commission all that artwork of your 'sona and the lizard man, and in almost every one you had this hippy flowergirl look going on, and you were handing him a flower or putting it in the barrel? Looked pretty hippie to me. biggrin

A "raw" diet is all uncooked veggies and stuff, IIRC. Not my kind of thing (I'm way too into meat X3), but if it's for health reasons, I can respect it.  

[Nurses Aids]

I could easily be vegan if I really wanted to.  

[Quintessence]

My mom's vegan, so I ate a lot of vegan food growing up and am well versed in the widely varying evils of meat. I like a lot of vegan stuff!

But hotdogs are still delicious.
