If He said it is OK to eat meat as long as you follow His rules, I have absolutely no problem with it. Plus, our bodies do need a varied diet, including animal food, to stay in optimum health.Barb Chanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18111608904463961090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683171330083869803.post-68089265289754291012009-07-14T08:49:20.323-04:002009-07-14T08:49:20.323-04:00lol, I hear ya.lol, I hear ya.Jessicahttp://jabberwocky-jessica.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683171330083869803.post-54139626034949422762009-07-14T08:44:11.946-04:002009-07-14T08:44:11.946-04:00Jessica- I didn't mean mitzvah as a commandme...Jessica- I didn't mean mitzvah as a commandment, but as like brownie points.<br /><br />you know, like if you volunteer to help your friend out, it isn't a commandment to help, but you're getting a mitzvah.<br /><br />with meat, I just meant if you say a bracha and you find a way to truly enjoy the food (you know you're ticking off ppl like Ingrid), then its like a real brownie pts, cuz you're supposed to enjoy hashems nurishment.<br /><br />but generally, I know its not exactly a mitzvah to do an action to spite someone, and I can't speak for Gd, but in my lala land, ingrid newkirk deserves to be tortured, along with the terrorists she condemns for using donkeys.and so, due to my conclusions, eating meat with the cherry on top (ticking Ingrid off) has gotta be something that looks good on judgment day.frumskeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02990363895869876238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683171330083869803.post-15617250454218582242009-07-14T08:07:12.370-04:002009-07-14T08:07:12.370-04:00By no means do I condone anything PETA has done, e...By no means do I condone anything PETA has done, ever, but saying that eating meat is a mitzva? In Maimonides Hilchos Deos he says that meat should be eaten in moderation and only if your heart desires to eat it. While eating meat is definitely permitted, it is hardly a commandment to eat it.Jessicahttp://jabberwocky-jessica.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683171330083869803.post-54621676767021784722009-07-14T01:00:45.643-04:002009-07-14T01:00:45.643-04:00YA- please point out where I was judging vegetari...YA- please point out where I was judging vegetarians according to PETA? Actually, I was condemning people like Ingrid Newkirk, and said we should eat meat to piss off people like her. I didn't say "vegetarians generally"<br /><br />It's hard for me to care less if people do or do not eat meat. As long as vegetarians aren't violently shoving their views down my throat, I really don't care. <br /><br />People like Ingrid Newkirk, give carnivores, like myself, an extra thrill to eating meat. That's all.<br /><br />Why mention JP? His philosophy invalidates only the idiot "rabbi" that "converted" him.<br /><br />F&R- I looooove meat. But I don't eat it to often either. Mostly stick to poultry. Not as heavy, and is healthier.<br /><br />We have a "tradition" of milchig shabbos around birthday's. Its a ton of fun. Pizza, fettuccini alfredo, and cheesecake (usually). :)<br /><br />Sometimes, because its so hot in the summer, we have sushi for Friday night. :). Its great. :)frumskeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02990363895869876238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683171330083869803.post-42799737090022114032009-07-14T00:54:27.300-04:002009-07-14T00:54:27.300-04:00Agree with much of what YA says, although I wouldn...Agree with much of what YA says, although I wouldn't have said anything about JP. At least some parts of the meat/poultry industry involve cruelty, and if PETA wants to prevent that, I'd support them. <br /><br />Ichabod ChrainAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683171330083869803.post-56589382438766660232009-07-14T00:28:28.639-04:002009-07-14T00:28:28.639-04:00I had heard about that donkey letter before, but I...I had heard about that donkey letter before, but I had never seen it attributed to a source until now. <br />I am normally not a big meat eater (I have done vegetarian shabbos, and my family always has a few dairy meals when its a long yom tov), but thinking about PETA is the perfect thing to whet my appetite for a nice steak.Frum and Rationalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200835950640799373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683171330083869803.post-27265304549158766632009-07-13T23:31:37.818-04:002009-07-13T23:31:37.818-04:00Yes, the tactics and and methodology PETA uses hav...Yes, the tactics and and methodology PETA uses have their fair share of intellectual dishonesty. An argument could be made that PETA does a disservice to us vegetarians as a whole for the same reason someone like say, JP does a disservice to Orthodox Judaism as a whole. <br /><br />However, the fact that certain people engage in radical or dishonest methodology, in no way invalidates the position they hold of. <br /><br />Just like the fact that Jewish Philosopher's radical methodology and intellectually dishonest tactics in no way invalidate Orthodox Judaism, the intellectually dishonest methodology of PETA in no way invalidates the contentions, positions, and conclusions vegetarians hold of.<br /><br />So I am somewhat perplexed by your post "Eat meat!". <br /><br />If you feel the vegetarian position does not have a leg to stand on, is invalid, or is fallacious for whatever reason, then fine. I just expected something more substantial than the typical PETA bashing most critics of vegetarianism engage in.Yeshivish Atheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10590827852733947547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683171330083869803.post-55960149352534592312009-07-13T22:46:36.423-04:002009-07-13T22:46:36.423-04:00YUM
