Didn&#39;t Jesus eat meat though?<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>

i think the only time Jesus eats meat in the bible is fish he created, and thus it can be claimed that he never killed any animals.
Also some scholars cliam the fish referance was added later because of the acronym from the greek word for fish means something about Jesus(that&#39;s where the Jesus fish comes from)

But I&#39;m no expert on the Bilbe, nor am I a Christian.

I found something on the fish at http://bookshelf.info/wordlists/e/eec/www/...=I.html#ichthus

ichthus
An icon in the shape of a fish that many people display on the trunks of their cars or in their doorways. For years until I learned its proper name I called it a Jesus fish. One reader tells me people in his area call it a holy mackerel. The fish is usually filled in with Greek letters interpreted as an acrostic, meaning ``Jesus Christ Son of God Savior&#39;&#39;. It was originally a pagan symbol of fertility.

I&#39;m not a vegetarian but I have no problem whatsoever with people determining their own diet. That&#39;s none of my business.

Quite a lot of vegetarians (by no means all, or even most I&#39;m sure) seem to think my diet is THEIR business, however.

Some vegetarians are offended by carnivores or omnivores, but most just don&#39;t eat meat.

Their offense is their problem. It&#39;s irrational and pointless.

Sasha,
I guess you were responding to me about the wastage thing. I think you&#39;re right that we do alot worse in terms of wastage than just raising cattle that overconsume--and I&#39;m not trying to ignore those lots of other things. I just meant that it seems a little ridiculous to force cattle to overeat so we get more meat for our dollar, when wastage is such a big problem.

Being vegan is healthlier, consumes less resouces and causes less suffering, that&#39;s why I&#39;m vegan. Vegans live longer on average, get sick less, have fewer heart problems, and are less likely to get cancer. Vegans are much less likely to be obese or overweight.
The only nutrient that vegans may have a problem with is B12, which is easy to get it pill form, from some types of yeast, and BEER also contains some.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>

This probably has less to do with the diet itself but rather with the fact that people who choose to be vegan or vegetarian are showing concern for their diet. Those who don&#39;t care are classed omnivores by default and shcew the results. Regardless of what one eats the more attention you pay to your health the higher are the chances you will lead a healthy life.

I was wondering, does the poll results currently reflect what we&#39;d see in the national average of developed countries?

[RebelWithanAK]

There are 44 posts to the poll. The answer is No, the poll is not indicative of much of anything.

But we can conclude that the majority of the forum users are omnivores. *nods*
