February 5, 20197 yr Author Popular Post makes a person wonder why they even post any threads on this site anymore. look at all the negativity and off subject comments above. no question In my mind that the oil coming on shore and the mass of garbage in the sea is from fishing boats heaving stuff overboard . because of no oversight from govt.

Rather than “being the change you wish to see”, you came in trying to dictate what we should and should not eat. Don’t you realize that by doing so you will turn more people off rather than attract them to your “cause”? Narcissism isn’t an attractive trait.

I do my bit as far as recycling etc, but to be quite honest I think it's too late to save this planet. There are plastic islands double the size of Texas floating in the Pacific Ocean. When you have more than a billion people in both China and India creating mass pollution, my little effort is just pissing in the wind.

I am vegetarian too, since more than 40 years, but that doesn't mean a lot in the big picture. Willing or not we are all responsible for the pollution, as long as we choose to be part of the society. Even if you ban the fishing all around the world, you'll not defeat pollution, can you understand that ? One thing you can do, is to reduce YOUR pollution, possibly others will learn from you.

Unfortunately, just about every segment of the food industry harms the environment in one way or another, either directly or indirectly. Whether it's beef, corn, pork, fish, rice, wheat, coffee--pretty much everything that we consume--a part of our ecosystem is being harmed. That being the case, I eat what I want because it just doesn't matter.

February 5, 20197 yr 13 hours ago, yogavnture said: i will persist Good for you. I have worked in farming since 1961 ( aged 15 in UK ) so, my dietary and care of wildlife lifestyle is at complete odds with my work. I have tried to teach compassion in farming in whatever country I may have been working. This benefits the animal and can give a higher income to the farmer if he is producing more in numbers for the market ( less loss from disease ) and, a better quality carcass due to housing conditions. I became a vegetarian in 1971 after seeing a natural loss of life in drought ridden areas of Australia. Later on in the 1970's I became a vegan and still follow such a diet today. Some of my English family are also vegetarians, part by allergies and part by choice. I noticed that as a competition swimmer in the pool and sea swimmer plus, being an avid body surfer when location permitted, a vegetarian diet, that is meat free, seemed to give me more stamina and less aggression. A daughter found the same when she changed her diet and continued to do competitive swimming. It seemed that red meats were the aggressive factor whilst a fish diet / white meat diet lowered the aggressiveness. Many of the other posts point out that it's 'not for them', yes true vegan food is almost impossible to find here in Thailand, when people call themselves 'vegetarian' can be very variable in what is eaten. Yes, we have become omnivores but perhaps we should look at a more balanced diet for general health reasons.

Yes, we have become omnivores but perhaps we should look at a more balanced diet for general health reasons. A vegetarian friend came to Thailand on holiday and was staying with me. I took him to an Australian run bar/restaurant one afternoon and ordered some food. He ordered a cheese omelette and I also explained to the cashier that he was a vegetarian, so definitely a cheese omelette with nothing else added. She said fine. Our food arrived and we started eating. After a few mouthfuls my friend told me there was meat in his omelette and he went to the toilet to be sick, as he hadn't eaten meat for nearly ten years. I complained to the cashier, and demanded to see the cook. She came out and prompted explained (without apologising) that of course she had put some pork in it, as "it didn't taste as good otherwise." We didn't pay the bill and walked out, in the hope it caused them some grief.
