The ad never shows any nudity and uses suggestiveness only to get their point across. I think its very effective and it can be shown on all media w/out the nudity fear. Of course, that doesn't mean it still won't be refused, but it captures your interest like the Bond film intros where they almost show nude women, but not quite and every junior high boy is straining to catch a glimpse of a nipple...LOL.
I am with you Ralph. The only meat I miss in NC is lamb. It is hard to find in this area. In CA where I was raised it was in every market and you could drive down the road in the winter and watch the shephards hearding their flocks. Ummmmmmmmmmm. Give me meat seven days a week. If vegins do not like it tough. Oh well to each his own. Just do not try to force me to conform to someone elese way of life.
Um, it shouldn't be necessary to say this, but many vegetarians have chosen their diets for reasons they consider moral and deep, and are certainly sincere. We shouldn't mock them for their tastes. (Tease them, maybe; but don't be surprised if they tease some of us about our carnivorous tastes. )
BTW, is anyone else having trouble viewing the video? I've tried a couple of times, but it doesn't play, nor can I download it.
Although I don't concider myself a vegetarian by any stretch of the imagination, I do eat like one most of the time. I just don't like to eat meat all the time and I've found that meat steals my energy from me, an issue I don't have when I eat non-animal based foods.
I've had only one vegetarian meal, and I was surprised that it was very good. We ate with some 7th Day Adventists. They had two imitation meats, which I can't understand. If someone doesn't believe in eating meat, why would they have imitation meat so that they can pretend they're eating meat? Perhaps a vegetarian could clear that up? I'm just curious.
I wish I could bring myself to give up meat since I would probably be healthier, but I LOVE meat--especially chicken. I've had to give up red meat as it is, and that doesn't leave me with much. I've also had to give up salt, fat, and sugar. I was recently diagnosed with diabetes. Right now I have a Cornish Game Hen in my oven that I'm cooking with an orange sauce.
Imitation meats are for those who want to make the transition to vegetarian, but love the taste of meat, that way they think they are eating meat when they really know that it's soy products there by making the transition easier as they realize in their subcontious that meat isn't neccessary.
I certainly have no problem with good, friendly joking and teasing. In fact I enjoy it and can take it as well as give it. It becomes a problem when people ridicule and/or condemn others for their choice in eating or whatever, and I'm not talking about moral issues that are always wrong. Too many people have the attitude that "I'm right and you're wrong" just because of a difference of opinion.
Well, I miss venison. I LOVE venison and can't get it any more. Up north I had a friend who hunted and sold me half a deer every November for about $60. It's my favorite meat depending on where you get it. In Northern Michigan the deer meat is tough, dry, and strong tasting. In southern Michigan it is tender, juicy, and delicious. It all depends on what they eat. Fortunately, he always hunted in Southern Michigan where we lived.
I've done my part to help control the hooved rat population by taking out 5 or 6 so far this year. Think 3 were fawns, probably very tasty. Last year, it was 7.
I just leave them for the buzzards because we won't eat all that meat.
Ralph, I have heard of a program in which hunters can donate the meat to the poor. Without predators adequate to control herbivores, we must do the job ourselves.
I understand that all that meat would be too much for one health-conscious family. Hope those reading this will consider finding a way to share what they don't need.
