Prince Fielder: Vegetarian

[trwi7]

Maybe they can find work in the vegetable processing industry. Prince went to vegetarianism for the same reason I did... slowly, people are seeing the light. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

The lemurs in your avatar look delicious.

Prince - baseballs are made of animals too! I think you should express your anger by hitting them as hard as you can with a bat.

 

He doesn't want to hurt the animals! Tell him baseballs are made from the captains of the butchering industry!

[aracko]

Id love to know what he read. I could use some motivation after seeing that meat company shove those sick and disabled cows with forklifts.

 

I wont say anymore as to prevent politics.

 

Does anyone know what Book he read?

[TooLiveBrew]

I know it doesn't take much more than Sinclair's The Jungle to make me feel awful. When I first read that, ham/pork was in my diet as much as it is for a Muslim's for several months. My guess for the one Prince read - Fast Food Nation?

[BrewCrewForever]

My guess for the one Prince read - Fast Food Nation[/i]?

 

Could be, I never read the book but saw the movie in my Intro to Sociology class. I still eat meat, but I don't eat meat from fast food restaurants anymore. Only meat bought in the meat department that I grill myself.

Holy Pedro Cerrano, Batman!

That was my first thought. Is he going to stop hitting baseballs and stop wearing a glove?

 

Was it Jeff Foxworthy that said, "Vegetables are not food. Vegetables are what food eats."

 

I will pick up Prince's slack and give up vegetables for the inhumane treatment they receive by excessive amounts of sun. Those poor vegetables are always over-looked, they need someone to speak for them.

"Hi concession-man, I'd like a High Life and a brat hot dog hamburger ... "

 

i don't even have the vocabulary to start doing what Prince is doing.

 

"Those poor vegetables are always over-looked, they need someone to speak for them."

--well, sure. and just think of how viciously they're cut down in the prime of their lives by farmers. Another poster mentioned the Foxworthy quote, so I could very well be saving the lives of vegetables by eating animals.

Kinda reminds me of the fat vegan girl my friend knew. She'd go out to bars and suck down a ton of beer and then stop at Jack in the Box for jumbo curly fries afterward.

But what was her OPS?

So what happens to all the cows and chickens if everyone stops eating meat? They can't live in the wild and nobody is going to raise them for free. For the record I do eat meat but have some concerns about how meat is processed. I eat free range chicken virtually all of which is locally grown and locally grown pork and beef processed by a small local butcher for the very same reason. It may be harder to be a meat eating hippy but a good burger without the guilt is worth it.

[BrewCrewForever]

I won't ever stop eating burgers, steaks, ribs, etc. But I just don't eat burgers from fast food joints anymore. If I go to a fast food place I get a chicken or fish sandwich.

[And That]

We'd have to stop overproducing them to "harvest" their meat. The horror!

 

"Don't taze me, moo!"

I hear Prince plans on taking up folk guitar next.

Well, I don't think that is going to happen. We may see reduced consumption over a period of time and the industry will have to adapt. As for the animals already raised for slaughter dying off, well, they were going to do that anyway.

 

Aracko, as I said on page one, I would be willing to bet it is either "Omnivore's Dilemma" or "Fast Food Nation". The movie version of Fast Food did a pretty good job of making a non-fiction book into a feature film.

 

When I do consume meat, I tend to consume the way backupcathers does; as local as possible from sources I know. Sure, I have my indulgences (mmmmm...Oakland Gyros) but this ins't a zero sum game, in my opinion.

 

My hippie greenishness also gets involved. I think it (usually) takes less resources to bring a pound of beans to market than it does a pound of beef. I'm not just talking shipping, but the energy that goes into each. Cows need more than sun and water, which is probably why they taste so good http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Every time somebody becomes a vegetarian I just eat more meat.

In the case of Prince Fielder's conversion, I hope you've invested in elastic-waisted pants.

Already bought them in bulk (no pun intended.)

[Principessa21]

Wow, this is great. I hope he stays with it. Go vegetarians!!! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

ETA: Because evidently I can't spell when I'm suffering from a bad head cold.

[clancyphile]

Maybe he should have more concern for the humans that feed their families by working in the meat/fish processing industry.

 

Exactly. I just went and bought several shirts to support the children working in sweatshops.

 

And last month, I supported the Canadian seal hunt when I bought my new wallet.

 

[Team Canada]

I just wish free range/local meat didn't cost a bajillion dollars. I'd love to buy part of a cow from some farm down the road, but it's so much more expensive it's hard to justify.

Don't know exactly where you are, but there is this:

i guess ned won't be inviting prince on one of his hunting trips next off-season . . .

[brewcrewreview]

Right now, somewhere in America, Ted Nugent is crying his eyes out.

[Time for a Miller]

I hope Prince's new diet helps. Maybe he can open up an all Vegitarian restraunte as on off-shoot of Suppan's new franchise. I'd check it out. It has to taste better then what some of my Vegan friends eat.
