I guess life itself would have been quite similar.

haha thanks, and I am glad...
but is it really that much of an effort (especially after 2 years)?

mmmmm.....Noty really. My dad's chicken is very good, but it is not har dto live without.
So, now you may be wondering why I converted....Let's just say that if slaughter houses had glass walls, the whole world would agree with the rest of us vegetarians Y_Y
Gosh, I hate people these days XD
Is it hard for you?

hm, I am not a real vegetarian, in fact... which means that I don't like meat, so I can easily manage without it, but occasionally I do eat food which contains meat. so it is not a rigid principle for me, just a question of taste.

Which I can totally respect. I know al ot of people who do that, and I think its really cool. My mom wants me to do that,m and my dad hounds me for minutes at a time. It would be hours, but I never let him XD I will be honest, for gthe first 2 months or so, I would grab a small peice of Orange Chinese chicken, or swiupe a small bit of my dad's grilled chicken. Maybe even some small bit of steak...and then feel totallhy guilty later. AHaha, that is all over and don, and besides that..(I did it about 4 times)...My record is 100% clean
And there was that shrimp cracker my dad tricked me into eating...e_e

Hey, nice pic. I like it.
Great idea and good work

But, what did you mean with 'I am not a consistent vegetarian' ? Either you are one, or not.
I can call myself a vegetarian, and I'm proud about it. It is a great feeling to know that YOU are not responsible for the kills of so many animals.
I don't wanna tell you how you have to behave youself, but it's very unnecessary to say 'I am not a consistent vegetarian'.
Just my Opinion...

however, I think this picture a good idea .. and maybe it brings some people to the correct path

saturninus In reply to FlyingSins [2010-08-02 13:29:36 +0000 UTC]

oh well, I only meant that I don't really like meat as such, so I hardly eat any, but if it becomes "socially inevitable" I can endure consuming some. this also means that my not eating meat does not have a stable principle as foundation, it is rather a question of personal taste.

thanks anyway!

I like it,

to me, what's on the plate looks like cage wires,
showing the captivity of the animals that re raised for meat,

langstrumf- I think anybody who says that is just being whiny andf finding anything to peg at us veggies, even if it's completely stupid

Though I like the irony of the photograph and such, with great perspectives (sucker for perspective), what irks me is how it just encourages some of those people who have these horrible ideas of the vegetarian diet. I was looking at this photo at school today, actually, and the one girl who's always nagging to me that I'll drop dead from not eating meat went like 'See? You vegs really -do- eat junk like that!'

So, *sigh* It's a great photograph, but it's horrible what some people might 'get' from it -.-

saturninus In reply to langstrumpf89 [2009-11-01 12:14:04 +0000 UTC]

oh well, oh well.
I am more or less a vegetarian myself (not a "real" one, but I hardly eat meat), so the irony is not aimed at vegetarians... rather at the people who think that vegetarians eat stuff like this... or, if I think about it, a bit towards both camps.

oh it's just a play with shapes and moods. I am not a real vegetarian (though I eat very little meat) and I am not unhappy either...

NatassjaKing In reply to saturninus [2009-06-28 23:17:04 +0000 UTC]

I suppose... still, I'm not sure it holds together as far as meaning is concerned. The composition is great, and it's a very cool, clean shot, but... I think the meaning gets really muddled. I get the sense that after all that work, you're not really sure what you're trying to say anymore.

saturninus In reply to NatassjaKing [2009-06-29 08:42:40 +0000 UTC]

allow me to disagree. it is an ironical shot of someone who made a decision but is not happy with the outcome and wonders about his own motives.
