Hi, My Name is Kate and I am a Meatsexual
Yum......
I can go just under two days without eating meat. Side effects then kick in such as lethargy, double vision, feeling faint and then outrageous spurts of anger and aggression. In descending order I enjoy good (Wagyu especially) beef, lean chicken, pork and then venison. Throw in lobster, kind prawns and shrimps. I pretty much eat anything living.
So when I read about a group of people called Vegansexuals, I have to check whether its April 1. Really, what is next? A political party? Government grants? Labelling on food as to whether a cow walked past the plant where the product was made?
"Vegansexuals are people who do not eat any meat or animal products, and who choose not to be sexually intimate with non-vegan partners whose bodies, they say, are made up of dead animals".
Obviously all the respondents were female. Which I am very pleased about as it leaves more men for the rest of us. I mean what kind of guy wants to have a relationship with a woman who sees the human body as contaminated with "dead animals"? Leading to this outrageously funny comment:
One vegan respondent from Christchurch said: "I believe we are what we consume, so I really struggle with bodily fluids, especially sexually."
Guess she doesn't swallow then!! I have never heard a more ridiculous excuse for not swallowing.
Have these Vegansexuals considered that if their parents ate meat then they are effectively the devils spawn?
I only have sexual relations with people who eat meat. I have never met a vegetarian who was actually not mentally disturbed. It pleases me to watch a man on a date order a "surf and turf" and finish the whole dish.
Guess that makes me a Meatsexual.

Given that people's bodies are made of meat, perhaps these ning-nongs should swear off sex altogether. Would prevent the misfortune of them breeding.
Oddly enough, this story is all over talkback in the USA today, even Rush Limbaugh!
The local host here in Seattle claimed that he didn't beleive any story from NZ because it is a small insular nation, and people may get up to strange behaviour. Sheesh.

That's because with the vegetarian there is nothing under the covers - all sizzle and no steak (lame but I couldn't help it;-))
Shucks Kate I may fall for you if you carry on in this vein.
Heh, when I lived in Tanzania it was so pleasurable watching the vegan/vege freaks either slowly fade away or convert to normality when living out in the rural areas. Most of us probably ate less meat than we did at home in the West but trying to live vegan/vege in a culture that wasn't interested in vegetables (they are what poor people eat!) meant these nutters (99% of them chicks, remaining 1% always German males) suffered miserably.
I have had a good vegetarian friend - he was the only of such who never once attempted to make others feel guilty about eating meat. In fact he would help us butcher carcasses. He would even eat meat to gain weight when recovering from malaria. The only 'normal' vege I've ever met. For the others its a totally emotional thing, logic has no part in it.
"Men need meat" was an African saying all tribes agreed on.
It was fun when I lived in Tanzania. Watching the vege/vegan female Peace Corps types slowly starve or else convert to normality. Also great seeing these 'back to nature' types who had fostered this illusion of a dream life in Africa bonding with nature and indigenous cultures find out that all Africans hunger for meat. As they say there "Men need meat every day".
The vast majority of vegan nuts were German females. Whats with that country?
Does sex with a carrot, courgette or cucumber count as Vegan sex or is it a separate category? Also, is a Vegan Virgin a 'Vergin' or a 'Virgan'? - Please elucidate.
Unfortunately the Seattle host is probably right - insular leads to in-breeding - even been to a Green Party conference? :-)
BAXTER SAID " I'm glad I'm still in with a chance then Kate.."..
Any selfrespecting meat eater should run a mile from these abomanations of God.Have you been anywhere near one when they fart?
I am a vaga-tarian...and proud.
I also agree with you that if I don't eat meat within 48 hours I am completely mental for it.
I stopped eating meat about seven years ago for a number of reasons.
I think people who choose to eat meat have to believe one of two things. Either that, A) animals that are raised for meat do not suffer during the course of their lives or during slaughter; or B) that it is morally appropriate for humans to make animals that are raised for meat to suffer during their lives or slaughter. There is no way around this. If you eat meat, you have to believe one of these two propositions.
I stopped eating meat when I became aware of the conditions that meat animals are raised and housed in, and the manner in which they are slaughtered. People do not have to eat meat in order to live a healthy life (as the millions of healthy vegans and vegetarians prove) so eating meat is purely a matter of choice. You have to believe that your taste buds are more important than an animals’ life is to that animal. I do not, so I stopped eating meat. There are more important things in life than my taste buds. But I am a humble person, and this isn’t a thought that would be had by an egotist.
Plus, there is no way in hell I could ever kill an animal and eat it. Life is precious, and I wouldn’t be able to cut the throat of another living thing. I am weary of anyone who can.
At this link: http://www.famousveggie.com/peoplenew.cfm there is a huge list of famous vegetarians, and only someone who is perhaps mentally disturbed would think there is something wrong with any of their brains.
And, I have never met a fat or unhealthy vegetarian or vegan. Every fat slob I have ever met has been a meat eater. Coincidence? Probably not.
Chris.
Chris
Every generation of farmers in my family have been very kind to the animals they have raised.
Nice big juice black and white cows.
And when they are nice and ready, they get shipped off in a truck to a place where other people kill them.
I can live with this.
Now run off and try a nice big juicy piece of steak and thank the Good Lord NZ has such wonderful, fresh and natural produce.
Bet the little skinny kids in Ethiopia would wet themselves to eat a large piece of MEAT.
Here's a questions for your vegans, vegetarians, vegansexuals etc - do you allow yourself to swallow a man's sperm after the culmination of fellatio?
And, I have never met a fat or unhealthy vegetarian or vegan. Every fat slob I have ever met has been a meat eater. Coincidence? Probably not.

Awwww who let this homo in awwhhhh!?
;-)
"...And, I have never met a fat or unhealthy vegetarian or vegan..."
I have!
"...At this link: http://www.famousveggie.com/peoplenew.cfm there is a huge list of famous vegetarians, and only someone who is perhaps mentally disturbed would think there is something wrong with any of their brains..."
Apart from Herr Hitler, of course!
Oy Chris, I've spent a lot of time being a vego (have now returned to omnivore status) and therefore have met many vego's. Many many FAT and unhealthy vegetarians. All that pigging out on carbs and dairy fat is not good. Vegetarian does NOT equate with slim and healthy.
I do wonder what these people are wearing on their feet tho? Sweatshop canvas and rubber shoes? Funny how it's not ok to kill animals, burt alright to support brutal sweatshop labour.
Chris, yeah absolutely - taking life for your own advantage is always wrong.
So good to know that you guys never spray or swat flies or mosquitos, never take worm tablets and never remove pesty caterpillars from their food source in your organic gardens. They might die due to your selfish actions.
It disturbs me to contemplate the horrifying death of a sprayed insect or the suffering a tapeworm has to endure before he expires and is forced, literally, from his natural home. We should make every effort to co-exist with these precious species. Surely they must have at least a claim to some kind of squatters rights.
Quite frankly these species are being abused and need advocates to speak on their behalf. Surely here is a worthy career begging for your services...?
"there is a huge list of famous vegetarians, and only someone who is perhaps mentally disturbed would think there is something wrong with any of their brains."
Like Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler or Benito Mussolini Chris?
'Famous' vegetarians all.
I've found over the years that every vegetairian or visitor from the planet vegan is a city dweller and has absolutly no idea what goes on on a real working farm or has even talked to a farmer.
EXOCET
I have always thought that vegetarians fall into one of three categories:
1. Vegetarian for health reasons – they all smoke and/or do drugs.
2. Vegetarian because they love animals – they all wear leather (shoes, jackets, belts etc).
3. Vegetarian for spiritual/karmic/be nice to the universe type reasons – they are all arseholes.
Chris – where do you fit in?
d"It pleases me to watch a man on a date order a "surf and turf" and finish the whole dish. Guess that makes me a Meatsexual."
I'm definitely “vegesexual” - I've generally found vegetarians/vegans to be more compassionate and considerate/thoughtful. As such they're generally better to be close to.
Meat eating is not only involves complicity in the abuse of animals, but also self-abuse. i.e. meat eaters suffer much higher rates cardio vascular disease, obesity, plus stomach and bowl cancer. This indicates to me that they don't respect their fellow sentient beings or themselves.
Chris,
It's a very selective list - as John Birmingham points out here. http://blogs.brisbanetimes.com.au/bluntinstrument/archives/2007/08/vegan_maddies.html?page=2#comments
No Hitler, Manson, Pol Pot....
"I've found over the years that every vegetairian or visitor from the planet vegan is a city dweller and has absolutly no idea what goes on on a real working farm or has even talked to a farmer."
I lived my childhood on a farm. We often had animals "home-killed" to put in the freezer. It always disturbed me. See the animal panicking and struggling franticly to hold onto its life ... as the blood gushed from its throat. I always seemed to picture myself as the animal. This is why I believe that vegetarians are generally more empathetic people - it's their tendency to put them self in the animal's position that causes them to become vegetarian.
Similarly, the more empathetic among us cringe at the sight and/or thought of people being slaughtered. Fortunately this is the majority. A minority either don't care or enjoy it.
It's all about what/who you can empathise with. i.e. I don't really care to much when I fly gets killed, as I find it hard to identify/empathise with them. On the other hand, animals that show characteristic common amongst humans i.e. fear, joy, pain, affection, etc ... (most of the ones consumed in our society) are much easier to identify with - So I don't kill/eat them.
Actually, this video says it all much better than I can. So if you want to continuing eating meat probably best not to watch it.

umm, sorry, don't fit into any of those categories. Stupid biggot.
while we are beating chris up I thought I should join in as well. Chris go to a mirror and open your mouth... See those pointy teeth, they are for ripping flesh you knob.
OK, most obvious question: Would you want someone who tells strangers things like "I have a real problem with bodily fluids" going down on you, full stop? I tend not to drop my pants around whack-jobs any more - it makes escape problematic.
Wow, everyone jump on the guy with the opposing veiw point.
Where to begin?
It's fitting that some of you had to pick two or three people that did horrible things out of a huge list to prove your point. Says a lot.
"Every generation of farmers in my family have been very kind to the animals they have raised."
That may be your (probably not accurate) personaly experience. It may surprise you that the ones in your family aren't the only farmers in the world.
"Bet the little skinny kids in Ethiopia would wet themselves to eat a large piece of MEAT."
Perhaps they would, but they would do that over any piece of food. The fact that they would do it over a piece of meat does not say anything about the meat itself, only that they have been deprived of food.
"Here's a questions for your vegans, vegetarians, vegansexuals etc - do you allow yourself to swallow a man's sperm after the culmination of fellatio?"
I'm a male heterosexual, so unlike Cate, I have never wrapped my lips around a man's member.
"Awwww who let this homo in awwhhhh!?"
An intelligent comment, as always. But please see above. I'm straight.
"Apart from Herr Hitler, of course!"
That's one person out of many.
"I do wonder what these people are wearing on their feet tho? Sweatshop canvas and rubber shoes? Funny how it's not ok to kill animals, burt alright to support brutal sweatshop labour."
That's an assumption. I take it you don't buy sweatshop-produced goods?
"So good to know that you guys never spray or swat flies or mosquitos, never take worm tablets and never remove pesty caterpillars from their food source in your organic gardens. They might die due to your selfish actions."
Not all of us are the same. Just as not all meat eaters are the same. I don't swat flies. I don't need to as I live in a clean house. Perhaps you should throw out the rubbish in yours? Removing catepillars from their food in my garden is not the same as raising animals in factory farm conditions and then slitting their throats. If you think they are similar in any way, you should seek professional help.
"Quite frankly these species are being abused and need advocates to speak on their behalf. Surely here is a worthy career begging for your services...?"
Perhaps they do, but I can't do everything. What are you doing with your time?
"Like Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler or Benito Mussolini Chris?"
That's three people out of a huge list. Hardly a fair cross-section.
"I've found over the years that every vegetairian or visitor from the planet vegan is a city dweller and has absolutly no idea what goes on on a real working farm or has even talked to a farmer."
I live in a city now, but was raised on a farm. I have talked to a 'real' farmer. My family is three generations of farmers.
"I have always thought that vegetarians fall into one of three categories:
1. Vegetarian for health reasons – they all smoke and/or do drugs.
2. Vegetarian because they love animals – they all wear leather (shoes, jackets, belts etc).
3. Vegetarian for spiritual/karmic/be nice to the universe type reasons – they are all arseholes.
Chris – where do you fit in?"
1) I don't smoke drugs and never have.
2) I do love animals and I do not wear leather.
3) I don't try to be nice to the universe, whatever that means, and I am not an arsehole.
I am glad to say I have turned a few Vegos into carnivoures.
Sure a lot of alcohol is involved, but they always thank me for it.
Roger nome,
We are never going to have sex.
Get over it.
Chris,
All that anger? Go eat some meat.
You Cactus have displayed far more anger on this blog than I ever will. I was quite calm during the entire time I typed out my comment. If insulting people is a sign of anger then the people who commented after my initial comment me are the angry ones. Meat probably does make a person angry. It might be all that growth hormone and steroids.
I blame any anger on my part on the Promax protein bars I had for dinner after a session of Body Pump.
What's your excuse?
You accused my family of animal abuse.
And you don't wear leather.
You are just creepy.
Nothing a big piece of steak won't fix Cactus.
Chris has got himself into a real lather over this lighthearted post, god I hope he keeps away from the really meaty posts :)
Oh..thanks Cactus, I forgot to include all the rain forests in South America being destroyed to put in Soy bean crops....oooh what do you make from Soya beans, tofu and other protein/meat substitutes....so it's ok to destroy the ecosystem in the name of vegetarianism then....
"Wow, everyone jump on the guy with the opposing veiw point"
Try to set yourself on a higher moral plane than the rest of us and get a bit of a reaction.Who would have thunk it??
"Meat probably does make a person angry. It might be all that growth hormone and steroids."
Like I said, you have no fucking idea about what goes on. If you actually talked to a beef or sheep farmer in NZ, you will find that there are no 'growth hormones' or 'steroids' give to grass-fed NZ beef and lamb.
Not suprising that the humourless little socialist prig 'rogernome' is a vegetarian either.

Chris:
You know, people don't jump on you because you have an opposing point of view.
They do it because you're a sanctimonious prat - not quite as bad as evangelical ex-smokers, but getting there.
And I don't say this out of anger, but amused contempt.
That is all.
(And a friendly warning, Chris. Don't get bitchy with Kate: 1) She really doesn't give a shit what you think of her, and, 2) She's just better at it.)
The decision for meatsexuals and vege rooters not to have sex with eachother iscompletely MUTUAL.
Its only the carrot abusers who think it makes them morally superior.
"3. Vegetarian for spiritual/karmic/be nice to the universe type reasons – they are all arseholes."
umm, sorry, don't fit into any of those categories. Stupid biggot."
Category three. Slam dunk bitch.
Has anyone else noticed that the lefties seem to be paticipating in a "who's the bigest whiny ass bitch" comptetion in other peoples comments these days?
I say lets be inclusive and declare them all the winner.
I'm a great fan of vegetarian food.
It goes really well with steak!
I told you Kate that I am not angry. Just repeating it doesn't make it so. And I didn't accuse your family of animal abuse, but anyone who eats meat is complicit in animal cruelty. Take a look at the inside of a factory farm or slaughterhouse some day.
And Craig, re your 'Don't get bitchy with Kate' comment, in my world men don't refer to other men's actions as 'bitchy', unless, well, you know.
Chris
You really are new to blogging aren't you?
It will shock you that Craig is homosexual. Oh my God. Shocking. And he even admits it.
Gay men are allowed to call anyone they want a bitch.
Yes I know he is a homosexual. That's irrelevant to the debate, don't you think?
"Like I said, you have no fucking idea about what goes on. If you actually talked to a beef or sheep farmer in NZ, you will find that there are no 'growth hormones' or 'steroids' give to grass-fed NZ beef and lamb."
I was unaware that this is a New Zealanders-only blog. There was no sign at the door.
A Catholic Maori homosexual conservative.
He makes liberals heads explode just by standing near them.
If you'll go for meat and/or veg does that make you an omniverasexual?
Its making me hungry.
