By loves the smell of burning flesh - 01/11/2011 13:22 - United States

Today, I drove past a fragrant steakhouse and my mouth began to water and my stomach started rumbling, which would've been perfectly fine if it wasn't for the fact that I'm a vegan and an animal lover. My confused body craves burning flesh. FML

That's because vegetarian isn't a natural human condition. It's a learned social habit.

I love animals. I love the way they look, act and taste. eating domestic animals would be weird though.

why? they're just animals. they don't have feelings obviously, or we wouldn't kill cows. so it's okay to slaughter a pig, when it's been proven that they are highly intelligent? when they learn to sit and roll over like a dog? they can live happily with humans, but it's okay, we can kill them and eat them because it's not a cat or dog. all animals are equal. we should care about an animal like we would a child. I'm just gonna go lock my dog in a tiny cage with other dogs, then cut her up and eat her! because that's so humane.

Your body is always going to crave meat. It's natural. Animals eat other animals, I don't get why people think it isn't natural for us to do the same.

huh? who's saying it's not natural to eat meat? you really don't get the usual reason for going vegetarian/vegan, do you? I'm neither, but still, grow up you trolls

No one's saying it's not natural to eat meat. What he was saying is that it wouldn't be natural to not have cravings to eat meat. Although, I'm sure some people in fact actually don't have cravings to eat meat, I think they would make up a small percentage of the people who actually eat a vegetarian diet.

I can see a load of problems with that comment, and not just the stupid anti-vegan trolling in it. humans were "meant" to breed too, but are you gonna rape some person in the street cause they're hot and your body gets a boner in preparation for ******* them? then again maybe you would cause you have no self control

I was a veggie for three years, and them a bacon sandwich got in the way ;)

and if you don't tell me soon i am going to send you to my leeky celery and you shallot come back up until you tell me what you nopal.

Whether you're vegan or not, steak smells GOOD. There's no denying it.

Go to McDonalds, technically not meat but suprisingly good.

That is a sign from your body that you need to eat protein. Go ahead have a steak, it doesn't make you a bad person.

Dear OP, you shouldn't feel bad. You're just human, what's wrong with succumbing to the human impulse to eat when you're hungry? It's for survival. When we're hungry, we want to eat. It's a principle of loving all things living that makes you a vegan. If you adhere to your principle and did not eat the steak, there's nothing wrong with what happened. :)

Like it or not we as a species are omnivores.

So, do you wear leather, or own a car with leather seats?... Humans are Omnivores. That means we eat meat and veggies. Don't fight the feeling.
