Meat is murder

Today, my fiancé's parents visited. I keep chickens for their eggs, and his parents own a farm, so we had a connection. They told us to leave the house while they cooked us dinner. When we returned, we faced two steaming plates of chicken. My chickens. They had names. FML

Awwwwww, that's so sad!!! Like they served you the family dog... So, did you tell them, or did you try to 'man up'?

That sucks bad! I would have burst out crying right in front of their eyes... I can't believe people are clicking YDI =/

Jeez, I don't think vegetarianism is the issue here. Those were YOUR chickens and your fiance's parents had absolutely no business slaughtering them without your permission.

And you weren't suspicious about the several hours to cook dinner? What the hell did you think they were going to make you in that time if they weren't going to slaughter your chickens? Or are you a city person trying a fake FML and forgot the most obvious part of cooking fresh chicken - the part that can't be done in a few hours. :) Did you think you were coming back to a 10 course home cooked meal? Because the time it would take to prepare such a lengthy meal is about the same amount of time it would take to prepare two chickens from slaughter to dinner plate.

lots of things take more than 2 hours to cook silly! curry, corned beef, casseroles...

#260, if humans aren't meant to eat meat then why does eating meat, and cutting out almost all grains and vegetables, work better than medicine for just about every known neuroligical disorder there is? Epilepsy, parkinson, multiple sclerosis etc are all aggravated by a vegetarian diet, and the majority of people with those conditions, can reduce, and often ELIMINATE, their medication entirely, if they eat a diet that consists primarily of meat. If humans aren't meant to eat meat then why does it offer such a significant benefit to our most severe and dehabilitating conditions. I know in the case of epilepsy, eating a high meat, no grain diet (ie ketogenic, Modified atkins) is often the only thing that works to stop seizures - seizures whose frequency and severity are unable to be reduced by any medicine currently available, even in study trials. Seems a bit weird that a species not meant to eat meat because they have the wrong "teeth" would become so healthy when eating meat, but be so sick they need around the clock care when not eating meat, or not primarily eating meat, don't ya think?

Just curious checkitout, but what planet do you live on where humans do not have sharp teeth? Because down here on Earth, where every poster, but apparently you reside, humans do have sharp teeth, and they've had them for thousands of years - they are called incisors, and most any healthy child or adult can verify this for themselves by simply opening their mouths and looking in a mirror. Or even just sticking their fingers in their mouths and feeling around. The entire reason for these teeth is to tear off meat - you might as well yank them out of your mouth and have gaping holes there if you are going to go vegan. Be a wiser decision for you anyway. Then you can take care of your molars better because you can brush the sides of the ones next to your incisors. Dogs also have these incisors. Like humans, dogs can survive on a strictly vegan diet. Like humans its bad for them to do so and many will run into a ton of health issues that they would have never encountered had they eaten appropriately in the first place. If you are truly a vegan, then you either just began in the past few years, you are just developing significant health problems, or you are taking a ton of supplements - supplements to replace things that your body needs and if not manufactured in some big schmancy artifical way need to be gotten through meat. Or you aren't on Earth, which seems like given that no humans around you have incisors Earth humans also have salivary glands indicating they are meant to be omnivores, and an intestinal tract and colon similar to omnivore species, and not herbivore species. 266, You forgot about the reduced heart attack risk of eating meat - those who have had one heart attack and change to the Mediterranean diet, as opposed to the heavily grain based US food pyramid are significant less likely to have a repeat heart attack than those who stick with the US food guidelines. There risk of dying from the second heart attack is so small that its virtually nonexistant. Those who stick with the US food pyramid, not only have increased heart attack risk, but have a 10% chance of dying from a second heart attack. And I think its a 3% risk of having a third or fourth heart attack. You can look up the studies online. A very good one was finished in France just a few years ago.

Incisors. the appendix of the teeth.

Gosh that's terrible! You would think they'd have asked you first! You don't go around killing people's goldfish or cats or anything. Those sound like rude people :(

hello everyone. this is my fml. it seems alot of confusion has arisen from this story, so i will clear it up. His parents had never met me, and did not know that the chickens were for eggs since they keep chickens for meat. they arrived at our house in the morning. yes, we were out of the house almost the entire day. sorry if you do not "buy it", but it is a true story. the dinner was postponed, i was very upset, and i left the room. They were terribly sorry once my fiance described the situation to them. as for the people who say i shouldn't be vegetarian, calm down. i choose not to eat meat for my own reasons. i'm not telling you become vegetarian, so i don't understand why you seem morally offended by my diet. worry about your own.

Vegetarian = FAIL if vegetarians cared about the planet, they'd stop eating the trees and start eating the cows that fart away the ozone and hitler was a vegetarian.
