Unfortunately, all the arguments for vegetarianism fail, in my eyes, the moment they run across a Rare steak. Or Bacon. Or Gammon.

Even Corned Beef.

I don't spend that much time obsessing over other people's diets, although I see the arguments for ethical treatment of animals and I can see the reasons behind vegetarianism for some vegetarians.

Same here. I see the reasoning, but I do love meat. I would also eat human, so I don't have flawed logic (unlike the people who would eat meat, but would not eat human).

Tell me, why is it flawed logic to eat meat but not human?

I should have qualified the statement, but you cannot separate humans from animals ethically. Either it is morally wrong to eat both, or it is not. You cannot make it morally incorrect to eat humans and not animals without appealing to the unfalsifiable (i.e. dodgy stuff like Aquinian logic�that animals have no soul so it is okay to do anything we like to them).

Could you suggest why is it morally wrong to eat humans, given the assumption that is morally correct to eat an animal?

Well, that is a point, I suppose. But the fact is that the real argument against eating meat is the of mistreatment of animals being farmed for meant; which is of course voidded if you eat Organic meat.
Besides, I wouldn't eat human because it spongifies your brain. Or something.

Organic does not necessarily mean kind treatment for the animals. Though it is more probable.

Anyone have any views on genetically modifying animals and plants? You've been using the word organic alot, but haven't really commented on, well, not organic things.

Smoky bacon and roast chicken flavoured crisps are vegetarian, isn't that an interesting peice of useless information.
yeah and cheese flavour doritos arent.
I'm not sure if walkers cheese and onion are they vegetarian didn't used to be, red smarties didn't used to be either.

I think its too fatty/rich. It makes me feel sick. Large amounts of animal fat does that. At least I still have chocolate.

I was under the impression that it did? Anyway, it's still better, not full of crap. Same goes for milk and milk prodducts.
Anyway, whatever you want. Meat which is certified to a certain standard of animals rights.
