Last night, I caught Wendy's "meatarian" commercial, and I'd like to point out that that mentality is nothing new. This spring I went to a family get-together/BBQ and I had to listen to a couple of uncles (on my mother's side of the family) ramble on about how pretentious vegetarians were, how real men ate meat and yadda yadda.
I'm not a vegetarian/vegan and I have no plans on becoming one, but I've come to find out that the flip side of the coin can be just as overbearing. Has anyone else encountered that one guy who's just really proud of being a carnivore?

I don't get why people just don't eat what they want and keep it to themselves.

the funny thing about that Wendy's commercial is that he's eating a burger, but he says he only eats meat.
Buns are meat now?

Don't forget the lettuce and tomato on the burger!

All my lettuce and buns are actually pork and beef shaped into that form.

Cheese made of...meat? *vomits* But yeah. My parents are Kenyan and in that culture being vegetarian is like, non-existent. Pretty much everybody eats meat. My sister was a vegetarian for about a year and my dad was full of jokes. I'm surprised that she made it that long because we basically have variants of meat for dinner every day. Most of the time it's just chopped up meat with potatoes.

In my experience:
Meatariens VS Vegetarians is worse than Democrat VS Republican in America.
Why? Because even the most staunch political crazies can find common ground on a couple issues.
But for some reason, if you get a Meaty and a Veggie together in one room and they start an argument... oh dear lord. There is zero common ground.

Kind of reminds me of Invader Zim and MacMeaties where everything is made out of meat, including the shakes.

Most meat eaters don't even eat high quality meat. Really, I'm sorry, but you can't call yourself a "meatatarian" until you eat duck, goose, lamb, goat, elk, venison, alligator, ostrich, quail, wild boar, buffalo, kangaroo, and all the other Ted Nugent game out there. That's the one thing that gets to me about some of these meat eaters: you eat beef and pork all day and think its all that when most game is tastier, more succulent, and better for you than the typical BBQ standards. Why the U.S. consumes so little lamb is beyond me.

I've never seen the commercial so I didn't know what he was eating. Thanks for the info. 2 less non-meats on that sandwhich... what about the sauce though!

Thanks for the info. 2 less non-meats on that sandwhich... what about the sauce though! The sauce is made up of four different, delicious animals. Enjoy your dry, boring meat Deadpool. ;D I'm just saying that calling your self a meatarian when you eat like three different meats, including two of the driest, least flavorable ones around, is a bit much. That's like calling yourself a vegetarian and eating squash and spinach all day.

I lost a friend who was vegetarian for getting into one of those arguments with her. It started out all in good fun too, that's how ugly it gets. Hell, I'd go as far as to say it's nastier than the smark vs. anti-smark arguments we get here.

Most of the time it's just chopped up meat with potatoes. Yeah. My family is mostly German, from the area of Germany where the Romans discovered "barbarians" living off meat that was only lightly cooked over the fires. They made notes that they were too uncivilized to be "brought into the Roman empire" (read: invaded). To this day, I've never gotten sick from undercooked meat like pink-red chicken or pork my sisters cooked. Still, I don't see the big deal of bragging about eating meat. It's the same to me as saying "I own a TV." or "I own a computer". I'll talk specifics about them, sure, but why should I say something that most people would generally assume and are in the same boat?
