This thread is a difficult one for me. I spent about 8 years as a vegetarian, and then went back to eating meat after feeling not very well for a while and fainting lots, despite following a well balanced diet, as i'm not a fussy eater. I haven't had any period as a vegetarian since, although don't like eating meat daily (generally have meat or fish or chicken 2 or 3 times a week). I buy either organic meat, or from local butchers that are supplied by local farms, however still am never sure that it's good to eat it.

I would like to feel that i could support animal welfare through my food choices, and only buy meat I know is humanely sourced, as opposed to just avoiding it totally. But, I suppose you can never be sure can you...

Although it is sick that someone would eat dog just for a laugh and post it on youtube is inappropriate,  I cannot condemn a whole culture for their choice of what and what not to eat. It is easy to judge from afar, but for many it is just a way of life.

Anyway if i was personally hungry enough i'd consider eating my best mate.

yes I was surprised too, as I did eat lots of different things. It was when i was a teenager though, and growing lots, so perhaps that had an impact. The time I fainted and fell against a door, trapping my finger in it and nearly chopping it off was enough to make me re-consider giving meat another go to try to prevent it happening again. I've only fainted once since then in 15 years, and that was on a hot tube train in August (fairly embarassing).

However, I'm sceptical about it being the meat that remedied it, since I don't eat much of it anyway, and cook lots of vegetarian meals at home, (and for my boyfriends parents, which I don't think they fully appreciate!)! Haaahahah.

perhaps it is time to re-assess the benefits.

I am a vegetarian. I wish I had the will power to be a vegan. 

I don't miss meat at all. In fact the thought of it makes me nauseas (apart from the smell of bacon sarnies) 

I think youtube has just been 'done' for things inappropriate. Be careful what you believe that may have not actually been dog meat and from my time working on film sets I would say was a pure set up. Can never be sure and it needs to be complained about just for the suggestion anyway, but don't get too upset folks it may just be a con!

me too rubyt.the difference though between eating a dog oa cow is how loyal dogs are.dogs are reknowned for it.but by no means am i saying cows or any other animal have the same feelings as dogs beacause that would make me as bad as the people killing the dogs.
