You are aware that chicken must be cooked well done? Pork is slightly less strict but still should be cooked to basically well done. That's not what makes them not juicy. Myself and my father cook very juicy pork and chicken. Your family just sucks at cooking the meat. Anything less than well done for both of those is risking illness because of the nature of the bacteria in the animals meaning that the meat needs to be cooked all the way through. That doesn't mean all pinkness is gone because the important factor is the internal temperature.

My company pays for my meals on the road, and the only thing more tasty than a medium rare prime rib, is a medium rare prime rib for which I do not have to pay.
Free prime ribs: the only reason I don't mind doing a few overnights a week.
If I were a vegan, I'd have to quit my job.
I don't have any emotional connection to those animals. They are bred to be my food. They are delicious too.
And are delicious.Calves? They get separated from their mothers at birth only to feed humans milk and then get slaughtered.
Bee keepers do a good job managing bees. The hive has to survive to make honey. You should research this more. Bees are fine.Bees? They collect honey for the colder times, only to be taken away.
Veganism is a death sentence in humans. Vegetarianism has a rich history across many cultures, but veganism is a strange religion that is fatal unless you take supplements. If you want to be vegan, that's fine, so long as you research your supplements so you don't damage yourself or die. But it's spooky how you all go around trying to convert people, especially because the very real downsides of this combination philosophy / lifestyle choice / diet / religion are always downplayed or left out of the promos.
Veganism is entirely unnatural.
This.
The whole veganism thing was about dietary issues, not having any kinds of animal products and not endorsing the usage of leather clothing/furniture etc.
Now it's just a movement to bully you into joining them with pictures of dead cows and stuff with snarky "How do you like it now"
This thread is a little more calm but it was made with the intention to make you doubt why you're not really a vegan. Let's be honest.
They forget that we're all killing the Earth. I'd rather save this more than farm Animals.
Yeah, but then again you don't know what you are talking about ... so I will pass on your recommendation. If you give me well done chicken in a restaurant, I will pass and never come back. Pork is more tricky, the more fat it has, the more room you have to mess up ... but if you give me well done tenderloin I may become agressive.
My part in this story has been decided. And I will play it well.
Simple - I have little or no moral qualms with killing non-human animals. I simply do not regard them as having any rights. I try to prevent undue suffering where it's possible, but if killing an animal improves my life, I don't really have to think twice about the matter.
I have no particular compunctions about this in a first-hand sense either - I've killed plenty of research mice myself. I don't enjoy it and it makes me a bit queasy, but I don't have any moral compunctions about it.

How can you tell if someone's a Vegan?
Wait 5 minutes and they'll make a thread about it.
I like my food, and I'm doing okay as-is.
And you could have it all,
my Empire of Dirt.
I will let you down,
I will make you Hurt.
Because being a vegan does not give you a moral high ground. Because humans are omnivores, not herbivores or carnivores. Because meat and other products made out of animales in your daily food intake gives you a more balanced lifestyle. Because animalistic food products taste good. Do I need to continue?

Man was created/evolved, what ever you want to call it, to be omnivorous. There is a reason our bodies can digest both meat and vegetables. Get over yourself, you will lose this debate.
You are aware that chicken does not have to be cooked well done ? Is your father aware ? There are places that serve Chicken Tartare ... skin of chicken contains the bacteries, not the meat. You can steresterilize the skin and cover of the meat and then eat the meat raw ... boom.
I know ... common knowledge is if you touch raw chicken, you die ... but that's not the reality.

The thought that becoming a vegan will cure the environment of all of it's problems, is extremely naive and ignorant. Yes, it would reduce some greenhouse gas production, but you're talking a 1% difference. Maybe try a thread about people switching over to clean, renewable energy. That's something I'm sure everyone would love to get behind.
Not a vegan because I believe in a healthy balanced diet. I do however believe in supporting local farms, that provide the livestock with (what I assume to be) a healthy environment to live in and proper nutrition. Unlike your post, there are a lot of good farmers out there that take care of the livestock. Not everything is a cold dark terrible meat factory. Do the animals die and feed other animals? Yes, of course they do. That's called a food chain. I absolutely respect everyones decisions on their own diets, but don't try to make your sound like the future when you're missing crucial information.

+1. Exactly. Same goes with specific Gluten/Dairy rejections. I feel really bad for the people that actually have a lactose intolerance or are celiac. Bread isn't bad for you, just don't eat it with every god damn meal. SELF-MODERATION IS A THING PEOPLE. BELIEVE.

Does the OP not realise they are doing more harm than good by posting this sort of throat ramming nonsense? People get alienated by this sort of thing.
Ha! You should have seen that guy in the other thread to do with live export cattle being slaughtered inhumanely. He did lots of handwaving there.
I was this 'stalker' who only brought up the point once. You shouldn't be doing that stuff; animals gnaw their legs off and rip their faces off from these traps trying to escape. It is hideous and disturbing. It shows a massive level of disrespect and contempt of life to throw a suffering animal into the garbage like that, especially an animal as cognitively and biologically advanced as a rodent. I don't care if you like dogs and cats "more", it's wrong to do something like that.
When they can synthesize meat that replicates cows, pig, etc. then I'll happily support a ban on slaughterhouses. Until then, we are designed to eat meat.
