no wonder peta is making a plm around those issue or anything..

someone saying that they are veterigan and got disbetic.. , ok well it is depend how much you eat those that has sugar.. but must look at glymetic ( both GL and GI). Both GL and GI are low, then it great! if both are high, forget it! too much sugar.. end up sick for short time or feel upside down your stomach or anyting .. whatever.. if one is high on GL or GI, then you would end up that you feel like " i wanna go nap" !!

You can eat anything you want. I have been a vegetarian for 20 years, and my health is good. The protein is very important for everyone. This is why I choose two things that I accept are fishes and eggs. They have good proteins. I refused to eat the meats that come from cows and pigs because I sympathize them. Fish is also meat, but it contains Omega-3 that I need. In real fact, veggie fake meats also contain proteins.

Actually, I checked on snopes.com to verify the story about the higher insurance for meat eaters. The snopes cannot find it in the databank. This article is a false story. The author must have made up her story to write it. tsk tsk tsk.

Oceanbreeze

You should have gone straight to the source instead of Snopes.com.

I checked the PETA website itself. The story is valid.

Read below:

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA): The animal rights organization

From the website:

Oh boy. I think I believe it now, but the germs are everywhere included any foods and vegetables no matter what. I am sure that all insurance companies would never lower a price to anyone.

Aleser

A well balanced diet contains sources of protein and calcium- which come from dairy and meat, as well as a million other equally rich sources.

Test any average joe on the street, vegetarian or not, and you will probably find them deficient in at least three things. It's not about what you can eat, it's about how you balance it, and on the american diet of takeout and microwave meals, there is no balance to be found- even among 'healthy' meet eaters.

I am a Vegan, and a lot of times even I do not agree with what PETA does. XD ... PETA has their own way on things ...

Oceanbreeze

That's a good point, too.

I was JUST thinking the same!

First time I heard about PETA, I thought "Oh how nice! An organization fighting for the animals and trying to show how horrible slaughterhouses can be."
Second time I heard about PETA, I thought "Oh wait, they want to eliminate ALL slaughterhouses? Maybe that's a bit overboard."
Now.... at this point, I really think they are spewing out nonsense for attention. I wonder about the numbers of members in their organization...I wouldn't be surprised if it's declining!

webexplorer

Gee. It would be nice to eliminate employees for not killing the animals at the slaughterhouses. Respectfully, the animals do have the rights to live and happy as humans. No more violent eaters.

jillio

Yeah, Jim Jones of Jonestown Guyana fame started out as a wonderful organization that provided social services to the underpriviledged. Then it went over the line, and people drank cyanide laced kool-aid at his command. Gotta be careful when things turn to fanaticism.

dead money

LOL thats too awesome for words.

And PETA can go drink a nice tall glass of AIDS.

To be fair, I think that just about every vegan wants to exist in a world that has no need for slaughterhouses. However, those of us that are in touch with that very same world, know that it will never happen. I recycle, but that doesn't stop my neighbor from throwing his plastic bottles right into the trash. My choice (both to recycle and to be a vegan) may have a positive impact on the things I believe in, but one person (or a million) will not just make the world decide to pick up and change a since-humans-existed habit: humans eating animals.

I'm also vegan and I'm for Animal rights but I'm not that keen on PETA. They lost me when they took those dogs out of no kill rescue centres and killed them. I have other reasons for not liking them besides since they seem to put people off animal rights. Especially links to ALF and the way they encourage people to throw things at people wearing fur coats. That's not going to perswade anyone to change their ways.

However, it would be nice if people DID give up meat, dairy and eggs. But like Aleser said I don't expect it to happen any time soon.

People can promote a meat free diet though. If nobody did this I wouldn't be vegan. I wish people had promoted a vegan diet for me a lot sooner. Yes it was my choice to eat meat but I wasn't making an informed choice. So I'm glad someone eventually enlightened me.

I cooked two large T Bone steaks for dinner. Mmmm good they were med rare.

We chowed down on them along with a baked potatoe and a garden salad.

Meat it part of the food pyramid. I will not deny my body or my family of much needed protein.

Oceanbreeze

Seriously, I hear you. I'm not much for steak, but I do eat meat and will continue to do so. We are omnivores for a reason.

Yup! Our canines proves that we are meat eaters.


Variety is what is important in our diet.

I hate to see what PETA. Thinks of the people that are on the Akteins diet (spell check much needed LOL).

dreama

Same here.

Good point there, Liebling. We should have higher insurance for junk food.
