I can't imagine..solly Haven't seen one of them since coming back from the pub when I was 18 or 19! They were delicious, although when pissed and needing food, anything is delicious ????. I became vegetarian around 7 years later, and remained so for more than 25 years. It was easy to be vegetarian in the UK, far more difficult after moving to Thailand, as I dislike cooking and there are very few organic/vegetarian 'ready meals' available . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishing vessels represent only a small percentage of ocean vessels. 2. Most of the oil in the ocean is washed off the roads, into storm drains and on down the river to the ocean. 3. Most of the trash in the ocean is generated on lad and either washed down or directly dumped into the ocean. "Most of the trash in the ocean is generated on lad and either washed down or directly dumped into the ocean." Good point. I walk my dogs along the beach everyday and see one hell of a lot of trash being washed up, along with many dead puffer fish, morays etc. etc. The only times I was taken by suprise was when seeing a mattress (which is now slowly subsiding into the sand) and then a boat door, which was presumably, eventually washed back out to sea. The dead fish are obviously the result of fishing boats, but the mattress/boat door/general trash are more likely due to other factors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's when they start preaching to the rest of us that they get on my tits. Same with any other minority group, keep your personal preferences personal and we'll all get on fine. In my experience it's the meat-eaters that start arguing against being vegetarian, once they realised I was vegetarian..... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really a Buddhist thing to do. Also, I've been to a cockfight in Thailand. Must have been 100 fights that day. Not one cock was killed. Some serious money changed hands though!

PAWNEESE Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I have always been squimish about eating dead animal flesh. Even as a child. But I dont preach to others to defend my feelings or look down on those who dont share my thoughts. I been a raving veggie for 50 plus years. Its a personal decision. I get the pis$ taken but never react. I understand the opposite view .. I am guessing but the thought of eating beef or pork etc generates the same revulsion in me as carnivors would have eating a frog or cockroach or a rat. If meat eaters had to slit the throat of the lamb for example many could not do it. Its like .. it tastes good .. dont think it through. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Frog in Maehongson and hear that the field rats in Lampang taste pretty good. It’s quite expensive though. Nobody eats cockroaches, but most vegetarians I know sure do miss bacon. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had that said to me before. In jest .. but you seem serious. Very odd. Describing myself as a raving veggie is preaching ????? Veggie = not eating animals. Raving meant as taking piss out myself really. Its called discussion .. or chatting in a forum. Durrrrrrrr. Me thinks you need to look up the word preaching.

nausea Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Personally, I'm going this way. And it is, at the end of the day, a personal decision. Anything intelligent I won't eat. It just depends how wide you cast the net - I still eat fish and poultry. Dairy products remain a problem - you steal the mother's milk; but cows, and sheep and what have you, are natural prey. In the wild they're gonna get killed and eaten by something or other. My other problem is cruelty, like I've totally gone off shellfish (crabs, lobsters, etc.), I'm by no means convinced they don't feel pain when boiled alive. At least with fish and poultry it's a quick death, mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
