Deer I have yet to try but it does look good...Ostrich is awsome we have a subway's in Quebec city(don't anyone badmouth THIS fast food) who serves ostriches subs

Anyone here tried poutine??

i've known a good few double glazing sales men... they're a bloody odd bunch of people arn't they - i've yet to meet one who doesn't think that it isn't a high profile job.
Beamers, Cellphones and Nasty lil Suits along with the attitude that somehow they're cooler than an icecube.

gotta give'em something for the fact they have the effort to actually be like that lol

I pride myself that i don't kill...

Humans are not ment to do anything. They can digest meat and they can digest most vegitable material. You can get all you need and be perfectly healthy on a vegitarian diet. Just as you can on a vegtable and meat diet.

edit:

Deer (venison) is nice, nicer than beef. It has a taste that not all people like.

You can get decent meat in the uk if you know where to look.

lol Raven the successful ones are like that - its all in the company hype, and if you actually CAN sell, the bonuses are great! I was at Staybrite and they GAVE their top performing agent of each week a brand new Beamer, Merc or Audi! I don't like that kind of person tho, they were basically conning people into paying over the odds for products they don't need... I could never work to that mindset

I agree with most of that except three things.
a) I don't hate vegetarians
b) I only hate the Western Mono Deus religions, those Eastern religions are ok.
c) Though I don't hate alcholics, I certainly don't care for them (esspecially if they're AA freaks) but I really hate boosers. Ya know, the guys that are always drunk, talking too loud, falling asleep in your way, trying to hit on your sisters despite they are 40 yrs younger than him, those kinda guys I hate with a passion.

Back on the topic of vegetarians, ya know what really matters when it comes to what you eat and your health? Your blood type, some god friends of mine were reading this book that sayes depending on your blood type you should eat differant things. Type O's are the hunter/warrior types so they need lots of meat, in fact they can live solely on meat and be perfectly healthy (lucky me type O-).

I really don't mind if someone is a vegetarian, as long as they don't take me not being one personal. If that happens, I just hack up a real big bite of steak, load it with salt, wolf it down, and comment how really tenger steak meat is great, they should drain it of it's juice and make it into a beverage.

Yeah I like beef (just that counts Hinduism out), but the one meat I really don't like is pork. It's nothing religus, I just don't like the taste of it. You can't eat a bunch of it without getting sick. With beef, I can eat it till I burst, with and any kinda pig meat I'll get sick of it before I'm full.

True, a person can survive on a diet of meat OR vegetables, or meat AND vegetables, but our bodies are meant to use both. Actually, I think we are meant to eat much less meat than most people do, but it is supposed to be part of our natural diet.

A quick run down:

1. Kanga2 wins the Award. Shit in the morning on the hands then food on them later makes me want to raise my own crops. Worst job because it is horrifying to believe he went to work serving food and was willing to bet others people's lives that he got all the poop germs.

2. I'm further out than Kittaning from Pittsburgh, so I'm "a ways, like I said". We rout for the Steelers and we say yins, so we are 'burghers.

3. Equilibrium of Nature is a rationalist assumption. It assumes the world works a particular way. It does not.

There is also the possibility that the cows, having won World War III by destroying the human's mothership with a computer virus, go screw crazy like we did at the end of WWII until at last there are 700 billion cows and they all commit suicide because of the damned smell.

There is the possibility that the cows would die out without us. Frankly, what did cows do before we were here to feed them? These are animals that stand in line while the ones in front of them are killed.

Man should decimate every animal we can. The good ones will manage.

Consider . . . Racoons and pandas are the same animal. Racoons? What did they do before the white man brought them the garbage can? Pandas? They won't screw to save their own species. They deserve to die! And do we let them just fade off into their awkward little Buddhist suicide? No. We keep them and breed them and threaten to genetically engineer them with ginseng and viagra in their veins.

Rationalism is the problem.

We see structure where there is none, and get upset because structure changes. Then, we blame ourselves (because we are arrogant enough to believe we can destroy anything) and try to fix things that weren't broken. All because during the 1700s a few Europeans decided man was infinitely perfectable (despite no proof man is even adequate).

you know wolves and cougars used to run wild throughout the whole of the UK until humans pushed them back, natural predators of the Cow - it is our fault there not being killed by nature so we have to do it

sorry i couldn't resist saying it hehe (waits for all the angry veggies to muster the energy to actually type something)

Sam, i can't really say that i'm good friends with any of those kinda guys either - apart from anything else they lay on the bull 24/7 with a shovel to the point where you wonder if they're saying the truth or lying even when you ask them if they fancy a cuppa lol
plus something about them puts a shiver down my spine

anyone else seen this new Star Wars cartoon... hehee christ i've just caught a glimpse of it (^_^) and all i can think is that it is samurai jack but with lightsabers. man wasn't SJ a quality show too

Which is why life-long vegetarians die around 40, life-long vegans die around 25 and people who eat protean live to a 100.

As for worst job, i've had so many 'worst jobs' i'm not sure where to begin.

I did take a dustman contract but I couldn't find the site, the agent had said exactly where it was - and it wasn't. I never used that agent again.

I worked in a few paper packing plants, and at one of them we where not allowed to talk. On my 3rd week I was folding an envelope and recognised the address, I said to a co-worked that I knew the person and was promptly given a stern talking too. I quit.

I worked in the warehouse of a double glazing company, in the mornings I had to sweep the carpark up which you wouldn't think was too bad, until you consider how dirty those installers are and the mess they left. I'd then have to climb into the two giant skips and level them out, risking life and limb in icy conditions to do it. Balancing myself precariously over broken glass and so cold I couldn't feel my hands or feet.

These pale into insignificance next to the jobs I haven't done.

I interviewed for an OCR operators job paying just over national minimum wage, it was made abundantly clear to me that there would be no carear progression and then they offered me the job on a long term contract basis only, that didn't go any further.

I turned down a part in the film Braveheart. Why? Because they wanted me to pay my own way there (to Ireland), put myself up in lodgings for a week, pay for lunch at the studio mobile canteen, get treated like dirt (directors always do this without exception) and all for the stunning salary of £25. Not an hour. Not a day. For the whole week!

I turned down a part in the film Ivanhoe. Why? Because they where filming it at the James Bond Sound Set in Pinewood. Sounds great doesn't it? Believe me, that building was constructed with the simple purpose of causing suffering and flu. It's a water park where the fun is replaced by torture and 'air conditioning' built to recreate the Antartic.

The report you linked is hosted by the International Vegetarian Union. An extremist 'save the cute puppy dog' organisation who's papers are selective to say the least, and i've no doubt the research was 'funded' if you know what I meen.

Unfortunately, by meens of science, it is possible to prove absolutely anything you want [except that cancer is cureable in anything other than a mouse. Because mouses are the standard animal used in cancer experiments and therefor we could cure them of cancer 20 years ago - shame their metabolism isn't the same as ours - but this is a seperate subject].

Still this read is a bit disturbing especially about France eating rats during the prussian war's siege.(I don't even want to imagine what the UK people ate in those times)

In regards to vegetarians having shorter life-spans or longer life-spans than normal people, I would have to say there are too many other factors.
I think that for the most part a vegetarian is much more careful about what they eat. Although they are not eating meat, they probably eat a lot healthier than the normal population. That probably balances out their "meatless" diet to be more on par with someone that has poor eating habits.

I'm sorry, but being a vegetarian is not normal. You can do what you want, but it is not the way your diet was intended. It is your choice to do what you want with your body though, so hey, eat your rabbit food. Me... I'll eat the rabbit.
By the way, if you have never tried rabbit, they are pretty good. Both rabbit and squirrel taste a bit like chicken. They are also both damn fun to hunt. BOOM!

I used to feed the squirrels in my backyard,just had to let them know I was there with one word and they jumped on me,climbing up around my leg onto my arm to get 'grenoble' nuts(y'know those very big nuts)even on my head(got photos)...

Those things have a freaking large mouth I must say because they used to fit one inside and stayed there waiting for a second one and then fled to stash it then came back 1 minute later to get some more.

I don't know about eating them though,looks a bit stressed.

Rabbit is something else for me,I just love during the Xmas holidays how we fill up on rabbit/hare pates and what we call here 'Ragout de Pate de cochon'(Quebecer haggis but tasteful since there's actually meat in it )

About Rabbit:
Don't eat too much rabbit! If you only eat rabbit you'll die, because there is a vitamin (A? C?) it takes more of to digest your rabbit than you'll get out of it.

About balanced diet:
We are omnivores. That means that we (like bears) can adapt to various diets.

About vegetarians:
good luck getting the B-vitamins you need from plants!

About reality:
Trouble is, it's easy to want to always do what's morally right, but you forget that life is a battle for survival. If we had to live in the wild, we would probably forget ideologies like vegetarianism and do whatever it took to get by.

Is this because of the meat quality in UK that there are so much veggies or is it more like France where animals almost have equal rights to humans and where pro-human cloning is 'only a matter of time'?

If you love animals more than humans,then you have a problem and so has the rest of humanity.

I don't believe man will ever stop eating meat,that's more of a hippie dream.

Personally,I never imposed my tastes to anyone and expect the same from the rest.

No they wont, however If the Meat industry and farming dont improve standards then it may be more a question of whether its fit to eat or not.

If you love animals more than humans,then you have a problem and so has the rest of humanity.

Ive not loved an animal in the same way as a human ,however I deeply care for my dog ,certainly more than some humans. This may be seen as a failing in some peoples eyes of my masculine dominance, however I feel it is more to do with the state of society and the fact that some so called humans are lower than the lowest animal on the food chain. My reasons for not eating meat are not based on animal welfare. However whilst im not overly concerned about animals being killed for meat and leather etc ,I still feel that more should be done to prevent the destruction of rain forests and the ever extending extinction list.


ARE WE MADE FOR MEAT?
Many people believe that because we have eaten animal products for thousands of years they must be good for us.

We are not genetically designed to be meat-eaters. In comparing our digestive system with the cat family, they secrete ten times more hydrochloric acid than we do. Their digestive tracks are short for the rapid expulsion of putrefying flesh. They can easily eliminate large amounts of cholesterol and have sharp teeth for ripping flesh, all of which humans do not have. Our digestive track is long, the same as in those creatures who digest plant foods.

Well what doesn't kill us,makes us stronger but either way we wouldn't live longer or prevent any form of cancer or disease as well.

I have sharp teeth.

I think that becoming a veggie is stupid, I mean nearly every animal in the world has to kill other (smaller) animals to eat, and we are animals and at the top of the food chain so we may aswell eat healthy strong meats than crappy little carrots. Other animals don't give a sh*t if they're killing harmless defensless animals as long as they get what they need.

The human body is designed to eat meat. Without it, it will suffer. On top of that, most vegetarian farms slaughter thousands of small animals a day, sometimes even deer, with their huge harvesting operations. Case closed.

Ummm... a cat is a carnivore. Look at their teeth. They are all sharp. They do not have the tools to chew a vegetable properly and do not have the digestive system to digest it properly. Their bodies are designed to eat meat only.
Now look at a cow. No pointy teeth. They can only chew plants properly and can only digest plants properly.
Now look in your mouth (hint: use a mirror). If you have brushed your teeth propely you should find a mix of both sorts of teeth. Some for chewing plants, and some for tearing flesh. There are many more teeth for chewing plants, but those flesh tearing ones are still there. We are meant to eat a diet of both plants and animals, mostly plants. Our digestive system is set up the same way.
I'm not trying to "push" you into being a meat-eater, you can do what ever makes you happy. Being a vegetarian is not normal though. You have chosen to be one not born to be one.

Still no answer . . .

What did cows do before man came along to aid them?

I understand dogs. Dogs used to be able sniff other dogs without reproach. Cats used to just run around attached to each other after mating.

What did cows do? Slaughter themselveS? Politiely stand in line while the whole wolf pack killed them off like a line of ships being crossed in battle?

What did cows do?!

That quote tried to directly contrast cats and humans as being different. Since cats systems are different than humans, and cats eat meat, then people should not eat meat.

Quote: "and how is chosing to be something "not normal""


A definition of normal is "Functioning or occurring in a natural way". A definition of omnivorous is "Eating both animal and vegetable foods". As humans we are meant to eat both plants and animals because we are omnivorous. If you only do one or the other, then guess what.... you are not normal.

HOOOWWWLLL!!!

their is no MEANT to eat this or MEANT to eat that. being omnivorous means I have the ability to eat meat or vegetables. By choosing not to eat meat dosnt change the fact that I can

It is not just a fact that you can. Meat IS a part of an omnivores "normal" diet. I'm not going to argue about it anymore. Like I said it is your choice, do whatever you want.

Sorry, Kangaroo...I got ya beat.

Biohazmat disposal specialist at a busy hospital...when I got hired, they gussied up the job title to sound less ominous, so I thought I was just gonna be an "Environmental Services Associate-I".

Alas, not to be.

What I did on a daily basis was run around the hospital with a giant cart policing up all the trash and the biomedical waste bags. You know, the huge red bags with the biohazard symbol on them? Nearly 100% of the time, those bags were leaky and overstuffed.

The operating room was one of the highest-volume trash producers. If it comes out of a human body, odds are I've seen it slopping out of a bag, bucket, or canister onto the floor.

Then there's the pathology and the microbiology labs. Pathology's not TOO bad, but the stench of formaldehyde is overpowering, and I was treated to the unique experience of seeing a slimy, fibrous, and squishy THING with lots of wavy tendrils drooping off it fall out of what we called a gutbucket, landing on the pathology lab floor with a moist splat.

I was later told that it was a brain tumor removed from a patient earlier that day.

Microbiology is a lot worse. They collect, culture, and examine a staggering variety of swabs from every imaginable orifice in the body. You can't truly understand the depth of the word "disgusting" until you've smelled the bags that come from the microbiology lab.

They have a wide variety of flavored agar dishes ranging from plain to banana to chocolate, and every germ has a favorite growth medium out of those. Germs may be invisibly small, but....OMG, you can smell them. Literally. The techs and I used to play a game where I'd guess the strain that was growing in a particular dish by smell alone. I think I got it right about 70% of the time. But generally, the overall smell there is like a blend of cheese, ass, feet, and bananas.

Back to the operating room...they have large gutbuckets there that they throw all the refuse from a particular operation into. This includes any offal removed as well as the tools used. You haven't lived until you've policed up a gutbucket from a bowel resection. Diseased bits of intestine have an unique smell of their own.

There were two Intensive Care Units there...the Medical and the Surgical. Surgical's where people go post-surgery for intensive care, naturally, and Medical's for those really bad cases that the normal floors can't handle. Some of the stuff from the MICU is beyond vile...especially when they're doing chest suction on patients and they don't lock the valves on the Pleur-Evacs. So I'd end up picking up leaky Pleur-Evacs that were dripping infected lung butter all over the place and trying to get them out to the disposal room intact.

Oh, and don't get me started on Foleys...that's what everybody calls those catheters that people pee into, but what I'm talking about is the canister at the other end of it. Usually they're filled with urine and stuff, and a lot of times it's greenish, infected, and completely evil-smelling. Aaaaaaaaand they're almost always leaking all over the place because people "forget" to lock down the relief valves or empty them.

Ob/gyn is almost as bad...there's been a lot of times where I've opened the door and found a giant spreading puddle of blood and mung on the floor next to a red bag with a small rip at the bottom. Yeah, guess who had to clean that up. Not to mention all the loaded diapers from the other floors and stuff like that.

It got to the point where we had a cadence for our trash runs...it goes kinda like this:

"Hut two three four!

Blood, shit, piss, boogers, loogies, spooge, and MUNG!

Left, right, left, right!

Blood, shit, piss, boogers, loogies, spooge, and MUNG!

Po-lice that offal up, soldier!"

There's more to it than that, but I can't really repeat it here because that's the cleanest part of it. I don't think anyone really voiced that cadence out loud, but we all thought it while we were on our runs...it kept us at a brisk step.

The worst part of it all is...the job paid like seven bucks a hour.

I kicked that job to the curb after about six months. I'm a freelance sculptor now. Thank goodness.

Just to let you all know, a learnt a little fact about our planet a while ago when I was in California

A volcano once erupted in an island in the Southern Pacific (Can't remember the exact place...) and was made up of a high proportion of Sulphur for some natural reason I suppose, can't be bothered going into the geology. Anyway, when this volcano erupted, it released almost double the amount of greenhouse gases that mankind has ever produced.

Just shows how little of an impact SOME of our industries create.

From some Californian Resareach Institute.

my worst job was working my whole summer last year in a chicken factory, minimum wages and working 10 hrs a day. Me and some friends nearly got fired for trying to rescue a chicken before it went to the slaugher house, but they really needed the workers so they let us off with a warning.

It was horrible and even weeks after finishing there I could still smell the place in my hair, in my room, everywhere.... it's virtual impossible to wash that dead chicken smell out!

I went back to waitressing after that!

Heaven doesn't want me, and hell is afraid I'll take over!

Misanthrope is close, but Kanga2 keeps the award, because he was taking chances with other people's digestive tracks, and probably not telling many of them.

While the hospital thing is awful, it is fair to assume any disgusting transmissions of germs were probably known to the administration.

Chicken rescue? God, chicken smells horrid. I don't envy that at all. I used to know a family that owned a pig farm, and the place smelled rancid on a 100 degree day in August. Chickens, I imagine, smell worse under the same conditions.

However, chicken is really good eats. The kind of thing that make a vegetarian go straight

How's that for tying loose ends? We'll just liaise the two threads we have going here...
