Note: This post is not meant to target those who are vegetarians for religious reasons or those who are vegetarians because they have some chronic disease that doesn’t allow them to eat meat. Instead, I’m targeting every single idiot out there who is a vegetarian for reasons like animal cruelty and health benefits.
Edit 9/10/14: Alright time to clear some air here. I started FitMole back in June 2011 and wrote this article in Aug 2011. Back when I started the blog I was trying to discover the best way to generate more traffic. So I thought to myself, “what’s the best way to get people talking?” So I came up with this article and the slightly edgy, and some might even call immature headline. And yes, I know the article can be seen as a bit offensive and ignorant. I still stand by my claims 100% that going vegetarian isn’t healthier than eating meat, but I do take full responsibility for some of the slightly ignorant comments I’ve made about animal cruelty. Other than that, can the person who keeps sending me death threat emails stop now 🙂
First off I just wanted to say I’m sorry. I normally don’t swear in the post title, but I just have to emphasize how stupid it is to become a vegetarian. It’s stupid, ridiculous, unnecessary, stupid, and did I mention it’s FUCKING stupid.
I have a couple of friends and family members that are vegetarians, and don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate them. I just can’t understand why they decided to follow this lifestyle.
When I ask them why they decided to become a vegetarian, they give me reasons like “Oh, it makes me feel good,” “Because meat is bad for your health,” or “I don’t want to harm animals.” Whenever I hear these reasons, I just put on my best “nod and pretend to agree with you” face.
So why is becoming a vegetarian stupid? Lets take a look:
1) You aren’t saving the lives of animals
I get it. You don’t like it when the heads of baby cows and pigs are chopped off, but do you really think eating that tofu burger is saving lives.
Fruits, vegetables, and grains are a staple among vegetarian diets, but did you know that millions of animals die just so you can enjoy that piece of bread? Eating foods like grains means destroying ecosystems and all of its inhabitants. It means killing all the little animals, birds, bugs, and microorganisms that live among the fields.
Do you know how many little animals and microorganisms die when farmers use machines to plow through wheat fields? The answer is a lot more than 1 cow.
As cheesy as it sounds, everything in life requires sacrifice. Animals are killed to get meat and ecosystems are destroyed to get grains. So the next time I’m eating a steak, don’t you dare judge me for killing a cow.
2) There is absolutely zero scientific proof showing that going vegetarian is healthy
When I want to believe something, I need proof. I need definite scientific proof.
And no, proof doesn’t mean reading a quote in Shape or MensHealth magazine. In order to convince me about anything I need to see a scientific study that shows causation not correlation.
For example, eating less food will make you loss weight. This is a stone cold fact that will remain true no matter what.
However, there is absolutely ZERO proof showing that going vegetarian will decrease your risk of heart disease, cancer, or whatever nasty stuff you can think of.
The only thing we have are thousands of studies showing a correlation between an increased risk of disease and an increase in meat consumption. We have studies that conclude that eating meat “may increase” your risk of heart disease, but this doesn’t mean crap. It’s inconclusive and doesn’t prove anything. Saying that your risk of heart disease “may increase” from eating red meat is like saying you “may” be able to breath fire if you eat enough jalapenos.
And yes, before you get all crazy on me, I have read the China Study a.k.a the vegetarian’s wet dream. For those who don’t know, the China Study was a big study conducted by Dr. Campbell who basically concluded that meat is killer.
While the China Study garnered a ton of media attention a couple years ago, it is also an incredibly flawed study despite it’s massive scale. But talking about all the flaws in the China Study is beyond the scope of this article, so let me turn you over to a great article written by Denise Minger of Raw Food SOS. She did an amazing job in analyzing the China Study and basically debunked every single aspect of it.
People need to stop believing the mainstream media, and need to start looking at the actual research and facts.

3) You don’t get to eat meat
I know this is a bit obvious, but being a vegetarian means that you don’t get to eat meat. EVER. That means no steak, bacon, horse, or BBQ ribs. The closest thing you’ll ever get to meat is some glued together crap made of wheat and soy.
And please, don’t tell me that your veggie burger tastes better than my double bacon cheeseburger, okay? Don’t tell me “Oh, but it tastes just like the real thing.” No it doesn’t, you rationalizing crazy person. It doesn’t matter how hard you try, a piece of tofu will never taste as good as a greasy piece of beef.
So if vegetarians are so concerned about their health, then why do they opt for highly processed foods likes breads and cereals that are not found in nature as opposed to real animal meat which has been around since…. forever. It makes no freakin sense.
4) Vegetarians are actually eating animals without knowing it!
This past summer, I took a Biology 101 class at a community college to fulfill some general education requirements for my degree. While the class was a complete waste of my time and I pretty much bull-shitted my way through it, I did learn something quite interesting.
I learned about the food web, which is basically description of “who eats who” in the environment.
It goes something like this:
fox eats rabbit => fox poops into the soil => the living soil then absorbs the poop(which includes the rabbit) => fruit and vegetable plants absorb that exact same soil to grow => humans eat those same fruits and vegetables
This process happens EVERYWHERE in nature.
So even if you’re a vegetarian, you’re technically eating dead animals, albeit in a more indirect liquid form. But last time I checked, vegetarians were all about saving lives no matter what.
Don’t be a vegetarian
Despite everything you’ve heard, vegetarians are NOT the health conscious animal saving saints that they’re made out to be.
Instead, vegetarians:
- Support the destruction of ecosystems to obtain their food
- Kill millions of small animals, bugs, and microorganisms
- Aren’t saving their health since there’s absolutely zero scientific proof showing that meat is bad for you
- Are actually eating meat without knowing it
- Are simply misinformed about every aspect of the vegetarian lifestyle
So if you’re a vegetarian, then hopefully I’ve done my job to piss you off beyond belief, and if I converted you, then that’s cool too.
Once again, the only reason why you should be a vegetarian is for religious reasons or because you have a some chronic disease that doesn’t allow you to eat meat. But even if you’re a vegetarian for religious reasons, you might want to start questioning the logic behind your beliefs, just saying.
Alright guys, be sure to share this article with every single vegetarian you know, and to close out this article I have 3 parting words:
FUCK YOU PETA
You do know that it is far more efficient to eat vegetables that come from the ground then going from plant to cow then to meat we would be better off if we stopped eating meat but that doesn’t matter you do what you want to do but please don’t bash others point of view and your right this guy shouldn’t have brought politics into this.
Efficiency is not a primary, or even mildly important, concern when it comes to eating. That’s a dumb argument. First and foremost, eating is about survival, and humans evolved to eat a wide variety of things, including meat. Meat is an important—virtually required—part of the human diet, as evidenced by the extraordinary lengths dumbass vegetarians have to go through to find suitable replacements for meat in their diet. There aren’t many, it’s not “efficient” to get them, and, most of all, as foods they suck. Humans evolved to like meat for a reason. It is actually inefficient to fight against millions of years of evolution.
you are the guy who saw the website subtitle and came here to start another stupid argument about hurting animal lives . . . how about you just continue you'r grades at high school or university?
I myself don’t give a shit what people think, if we would all just mind our own damn business this world would be alot better off, I love meat and there isn’t a damn thing anyone can say to change my mind, I grew up on a family farm and we treated our animals incredibly well, they alot better than most homeless people.
Sorry about the last part, it was suppose to say they live alot better.
How about we tell you to mind your own business while we cut you and feed you to dogs? Sounds like the dogs would enjoy it.
So it’s ok for humans to be killed and eaten but not other mammals?
You call people violent and shit but you think it’s ok to kill people who don’t agree with you lol. You gotta be a Democrat.
Dont cry you vegan villian
Your rant is fucking ridiculous.
So killing animals is fine according to you and being veg for religious reasons isn’t stupidity? Fuck off.
Being a veg for any reason is moronic
Energy is lost from plants to cow, but it cycles back to the same thing once’s it’s let go, Meat is a bank account as it picks up more plants it gets bigger so when it’s time for winter since there’s no plants something can eat without dying as for the same as humans could not live without meat back then. Meat is accually purely healthy in the fact if it’s fresh or not messed with and is the same as eating plants but more like one for all instead of eating multiple things just to stay alive when you can literally live off of a cow because it already has what a being needs to survive. It’s accually the government wanting to control that’s trying to get people to eat vegetables so that you lose testosterone same with plastic lowers it and other crap there doing
shushhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I don’t understand the ‘vegan/vegetarian’ thing either. Get this: ANYthing you prepare and put in your mouth was ALIVE. Either you or someone killed it in order for you to consume it. Enough said.
This is true, accually they did studies where they found plants feal pain but you just can’t hear them when they yell!
Y’all losers, don’t eating or not buying any kind of meat is not gonna fucking help a thing. You think you’re decreasing the suffering and killing, in your language “animal murdering” but only thing you’re decreasing is you’re life value!? Life what the hell is a cows or sheep whatever the animal’s life is more important than YOU'RE life, no it is, not we’re humans which is capable of THINKING. A animal can feel pain but they can’t think, they can communicate but they can’t do their own gossip about that girl who slept with 5 guys at the same time. God created every single animal perfectly lion eats the cow, cow eats the grass, grass gets it’s own food from literal sun and water! It can go even deeper to the microorganisms but I should not. So the thing is just bless your food, thank god that you have that food to eat and sometimes think about other people which is not able to eat a single piece of food.
Did you know you idiot that you kill more of these insects that you so care about, eating meat, because animals which you eat need their food too, and they eat it more than you would eat only eating plants, and their food is from cropped fields too? You're so fucking stupid, and your other arguments are similarly as this, always many times accurately explained by vegans.
Everything that you eat comes from the same cycle and same makeup of organisms and vitamins/bacteria which are living things needed to survive, plus plants are alive to and a animal could have died to feed that plant, oh wait that’s how it works, and if you are to eat only plants then predators would be at a high, meaning they lost most of there food from hunting and start killing eachother causing extinction around all spectrums of animals that have meat or are meat!

very good
This post is amazing, exactly what I had in thought, I just don't understand vegans. I tried their "meat" one time, I get how they like it but for me, the first bite actually tastes like meat, then the second bite (and the ones after that) tastes like pure, vegetable garbage. I also don't understand how they just think that not eating meat saves animal lives, like millions of animals are still being killed. Honestly if I see another vegan, I'm going to take out my packed lunch and fucking munch on that chicken sandwich, right in front of their fucking face.
Enjoy your meal
Did you know that your first argument is completely irrelevant? The amount of food fed to cows, pigs, chickens, etc. could easily be used to feed a lot more people than the meat produced does. They also destroy ecosystems for animals both for space and for the food they eat. Not only does it take immense levels of food to make meat but also water and not to mention the climate factor. So by not eating meat at all, there's more food to go around and more protein from all the soya beans used in the food for the cattle. So there would be a lot more food and less habitat destruction if everyone cut the meat out of their diet.
Just for the record. You are quite obviously a fucking idiot, just like 100% of the remaining pompous self-satisfied flab-headed SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS doing their level best to ruin life on this planet for the rest of us. If every so-called SJW dropped dead tomorrow — preferably with a maximum of agony, but I don't want to get too picky — the world would instantaneously jump through a hoop of self-improvement. What fucking bliss it would be! Each day would be better than the last.
Richard, you are stupid. Period.
The parting 3 words… Gold lol. Thanks for the loud laugh:P
So true! Veganism is pure stupidity. Go drink a Starbucks you dirt wads
yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Religion isn't a valid reason. Religious people are just as fucking stupid, all denominations, all sects. They're ignorant morons that can't be bothered to think for themselves.
Guys yall are acting as if we hate meat. I am a vegetarian and that thing about tofu burgers not being as good as ¨real¨ burgers is 100% true. The sacrifice is that we do not hate meat. I love meat. But I dont eat it because I know its better if I dont
