In fact, you are probably aware that obesity has started becoming an issue in India among the middle class and the more affluent as they have embraced the American diet of burgers and pizza.

Eating meat does not have to equate to eating burgers and pizza. I absolutely love meat, but I couldn't tell you the last time I had either of those things.

And your concern is that she's anti-meat???

Slip a piece of bacon in her sandwich next time. Should get rid of the bitchiness. It'll make her happy.

Agree with a P. that a bigger concern is that she is a bigot. What are you doing about that?

Back to the MIL -- she should not be advising your kids on this issue if she knows you do not agree with her. Plain and simple.

This may be one of the dumbest thi gs I've ever seen here. This is like taking a person who smokes and who doesn't have cancer and one who does not smoke and has breast cancer as an example of why smoking isn't bad for you. It's the ultimate fail in logic.

Another vegetarian who doesn't eat soy all the time. My family tends to get the majority of our protein from beans of various kinds and lentils. We eat tofu maybe every other week. I'm fine with 9:27 eating meat. 9:27 isn't making my family's food decisions for me.

I refuse to eat anything that can take a shit.

There are many vegetarians who do not eat soy. I'm a vegetarian and I eat real food all the time. We're all big winners here, 9:27.

There's nothing like a piece of fresh, all natural, antibiotic, hormone free venison. One of my relatives hunts and gives us a few packets of cutlets every winter. It's better than anything the supermarket sells and a lot leaner than beef. Same goes for buffalo. Native Americans ate both for thousands of years and they have a tremendous amount of respect for nature. Are we going to say they've got it all wrong?

Ok selective listener...

The shit that the local supermarket or fast food establishment passes off as meat is not good for people. The vast majority of Americans don't eat super venison and even you mention that you only have a few servings per year.

Not the quoted PP, but I grew up on a cattle farm. 100% organic grass fed Missouri beef. All I ate growing up was animals that I killed and processed myself. That was primarily beef, venison, antelope, and turkey. Sometimes I got pork or lamb from the neighboring farms. I occasionally ate fish from our pond. Some of us do eat good meat. Some of us spend a fortune at Whole Foods buying organic meats.

Substituting soy as a protein is not a good idea. 90% of soy in America is a GMO. That's the base for vegetarians and vegans. So, you can pretend like you're doing something super amazing, but you're eating genetically modified shit. Congratulations. I'll stick with real whole foods.

No, I'm saying avoiding meat is healthier. The fuck are you prattling on about Indians and respect for nature for?

Eat some protein, you'll be in a better mood. Feeling hungry all the time makes one pretty short-fused.

Wow, so you really believe vegetarians don't eat protein?
