yep, that's true lougan.

a cow has a soul b/c it was once a human being and was reincarnated into a cow.

i have a soul although i probably sold it to the devil.

plant grows in shit

The eternal question regarding souls: Where is it?

[kerri]

Cows reincarnated into humans... what?

[Catfinger]

Why do I often see Americans do that...?

I 'could' give a shit... I 'could' give a flying fuck...

Surely the expression is supposed to state that you could 'not' give a shit and such like. Saying it like that surely makes it a positive remark..

[The One]

but not all vegetarians are like that... in fact, most vegetarians could give a shit what you eat. people that subscribe to such nonsense are simply being spiteful toward a fairly large group of fellow human beings for absolutely no reason.

exactly. I have no problem with vegetarians as a whole. However, I do get irritated when stats and such that i know are slanted are tossed at me. things like that i do not approve of.

Are vegetarian diets healthy?

Vegetarian diets can be very healthy, but eating a balanced diet when you are vegetarian usually requires a little extra attention. Because vegetarians eliminate certain foods from their diets, they often need to work to add foods into their diet that will provide the nutrients found in meat products. By eating a variety of foods including fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, you can get the vitamins and nutrients you need from non-meat sources. By eating legumes, soy foods, nuts, and eggs, you can get the protein that you need to grow. Other nutrients to be concerned with are the minerals iron and calcium and the vitamins D and B12, which are especially important for vegans.

*Carbohydrates provide energy and vitamins for your brain and muscles. Grain products, especially whole grains, fruits, and certain vegetables are very important because they provide the carbohydrate, fiber, and many vitamins that your body needs.

*Fat is needed by your body to stay healthy. Fat provides essential fatty acids and helps your body absorb certain vitamins. Vegetarians need to include sources of fat such as nuts, oils, or avocado.

*Protein is needed for your muscles to grow. Vegetarians have to be careful not to just cut meat out of their diet, but to replace the meat with high-protein vegetarian foods. Nuts, peanut butter, soy foods, and legumes such as beans, peas, and lentils all provide protein. Protein is also found in dairy foods like milk, yogurt, and cheese for vegetarians who eat these foods.

*Zinc is important for growth and your immune system. Zinc is found in whole grains, fortified breakfast cereals, dairy products, soy foods, and legumes.

*Iron is important for your blood and is found in beans, seeds, soy foods, fortified breakfast cereals, and dark green leafy vegetables, like spinach. Vitamin C helps your body to absorb iron so eating foods rich in vitamin C, like citrus fruits and certain vegetables (like tomatoes) is important, as well.

*Calcium is important to build strong bones for later in life. Calcium is found in dairy products like milk, yogurt, and cheese and dark green leafy vegetables like kale and spinach. Some foods are not naturally high in calcium but have calcium added to them; these foods are called calcium-fortified. Some soy products, orange juices, cereals, and cereal bars are calcium fortified. Look at the food label to find out which brands are highest in calcium.

*Vitamin D is important for strong bones and is particularly important for people who live in colder climates because you need the sun to make it. During the winter the sun is not as strong and you are not able to make the Vitamin D you need, so it is especially important to make sure you get Vitamin D from the foods you eat, such as fortified dairy products and soy milk.

*Vitamin B12 is the only nutrient that needs to be added to a vegan-vegetarian diet. Nutritional yeast flakes, fortified soy milk and cereals contain vitamin B12.

I'm going to come back as a jackass? I've been called jackass several times now...usually its smartass, though, or wiseass.

I'd still like to know where my soul is between now and my death.

Isnt this a recap of what I already said? Rather copy and pasted from a vegetarian website?

[student]

What the hell is that supposed to mean, anyway? I seriously doubt pigs even realize what is happening.

That and I still have ham sandwiches in the fridge, leftovers from Easter. Don't make me throw them away. They're GOOD. And FREE.

And that makes it patriotic.

[plumb crazy]

i'm not a vegetarian



i just think it's a cool quote.


and ENOUGH with the friggen patriotism! you drive me craaaazyyyy

[Keith]

it's more like, "i could give a shit, but i don't".

Finally, I understand! I used to get so pissed when people would say, "I could care less" - because if you could care less, then obviously you care somewhat. I never really thought to put the but I don't at the end of it. Now I just want to figure out why people say the word irregardless.

[plumb crazy]

I KNOW


its like "regardless" but...not.



okay, it did sound better in my head,
but that word confuses the hell out of me as well.

The ham was dried out last night.

[guttergirl]

You should have covered it better... or tried to add lemon juice to it.

I think we know someone who is handy with the lemon juice

[plumb crazy]
