i agree - its a total personal choice...i wouldnt try to convince anyone else to do it.

dogs are definately overeaters .. bit i've never seen a cat that is .. except garfield .. but he's a cartoon.

One of my cat overeats like crazy, the other seems to once in a while but one is a straight up PIG.

Great philosophy. Its apathetic attitudes like that are turning the world into a shithole.

It was a toss up between Beef or Lobster for me but since I'm a poor bastard right now, I don't get to eat lobster nearly as much as I get to eat beef, so beef it is.

P.S. What the hell is mutton?

Meat taken from an older sheep

I've noticed that where we (aus/nz) refer to it differently, a lot of countries just group "all things sheep" under "mutton".

Do you mean, as in "the meat trade will continue"?
Yeah, it will...but if you did feel like personally inclined to stop, it should be for your own reasons, a person doesn't need to make a difference to the whole world to in themselves feel better.

Me, I'm not about to stop eating meat - as it is, it's not all that much (I've got mates who eat some kind of meat in literally EVERY MEAL) and my body has grown rather used to it - eg, better equipped to absorb certain things from that which it's more used to.
I think that a BIG problem in this world is just how MUCH meat is consumed, either in frequency or ratio to vegetation.
Could just be me though, I love, LOVE salad...like crazy, vegetables, I'm way big on too. Indians, the non-vegetarian ones that is, they tend to do the meat thing right.
An easy enough way to do it is this - never eat a portion of meat bigger'n your palm, and eat 3 times as many salad and vegetables as that.

Nobody else as into calamari as I am? I don't eat it often, but I like it better than other meats.

I love (not overcooked) calimari...but tend to lean towards octopus a little more.

@ Phalanx:

I was just meaning a lot of people don't think they can change things because they don't think their individual actions will make a difference. More of a dig at defeatist attitudes rather than meat eating. You could've put a lot of things in the place of "eating meat" and the statement would still be the same.

haven't eaten chicken/fish or meat for over 20 years.
