Vegetarians are hypocrites?

I used to be a vegetarian, I think for over 5 or 6 years. Though a month or two ago I decided to start eating meat again. Why? Simple. One word: hypocrite.
There is almost in everything something from an animal (cheese, chocolate, whine gums, etc) and I have a leather jacket and leather shoes.
My bf and I had an interesting discussion yesterday. Since I do still want to be a veggie, I asked him what his point of view is on that matter. He said things like "I dont mind eating cow, pig and sheep, they are created by mankind purely for food. Though I do not eat horse meat, a horse is created by mother earth, purely to work for and with us, therefore not to eat. That makes it more that 'a piece of meat'" and "if a chicken from our neighbours walks into our garden, it becomes a 'buddy', and therefore its more than a piece of meat" and he admitted being hypocrite himself, since he does eat everything, so he probably eats horse meat to.
Now my points of discussion:
#1 - Just stop eating meat doesn't make you a vegetarian.
#2 - When are you a 'good' vegetarian? When it feels good for yourself?
#3 - They should make guidelines for vegetarians, so no one can get confused and all veggies know what they can and cant eat without going through trouble searching.
#4 - How far will you go? Where do you draw the line? Is there a line? Why not order a pizza with salami and get the salami off and eat the pizza? Why not wear leather?
These are discussionpoint, that does not mean I agree with them. I'm dying to know what you guys have to say about it.

Exactly. It's a misconception that all vegetarians are such because they care.

no, they just do it for attention, so they can bash people who eat meat 🙂

"1 - Just stop eating meat doesn't make you a vegetarian."

I'm pretty sure it does...

"2 - When are you a 'good' vegetarian? When it feels good for yourself?"

I didn't know vegetarians we're classed as such.

"3 - They should make guidelines for vegetarians, so no one can get confused and all veggies know what they can and cant eat without going through trouble searching. "

Vegetarian guidelines.... what?.... vegetarians can eat pretty much anything not containing meat... unless they are vegan or similar.

Again Euhm cow, pig and sheep are created by mother earth just a horse. We breed cows, pigs and sheep for food and other products: milk, wool and so on. But in certain cultures they also breed horses for food.

A lot of chocolate also contains pig gelatin....I think that might have been what he was referring to Fire.

Well you can still make chocolate with out, so it doesn't need to be in that list.

That is indeed true.... To be honest he didn't have much of an argument to begin with let alone any evidence or the correct use of English to back it up.

I wouldn't give anyone shit for eating anything personally. It is more unhealthy to eat meat though.

Sort of true... If you don't eat meat your diet lacks protein but if you are a vegetarian that takes protein supplements it is indeed healthier... but I like the taste of meat anyway.

ayup your essential amino acids are tough to get in vegetarian diets.

It's not sort of true, it's just true isn't it? As you later went on to confirm.

No!... because a lot of vegetarians don't take protein supplements....

Then they are making it unhealthy. Vegetarianism is more healthy than eating meat if done correctly and sensibly.

It's just true.

most vegitarians just suck. the one out of 1000 who dont preach and bash people who eat meat, good luck and god bless. the rest of you: get over yourselves.

seriously, next time you're enjoying a meat product in front of a vegitarian, and they give you the sermon, make sure to chew slower and make yummy sounds while you chew. also, chew with your mouth open so they can see the mangled flesh. thats the only way to get rid of them 🙂

I used to be a 100% vegan vegetarian, and eating about 80% of my food uncooked. I felt really good when I was doing that. Got really healthy. Now I'm about 80%. I do eat mostly veggies, though the other 20% I usually eat chicken, fish, or turkey. I still feel pretty good but not as well as I did..I do have to say that I was on a thyroid medication that I know longer need because of this diet. I don't preach it to anyone. I did it for health reasons, besides everyone knows that this kind of diet will keep you looking at least 15 years younger anyway.

Though I've heard people say "If god didn't want us to eat meat, why did he make it taste so good...LOL" 😂

[edit] Yummy sounds?.......hahahahahaha

Funny that. I know many vegetarians both strict and otherwise. I've never encountered such persecution. So I'm assuming you are exaggerating 🙂.

Though you know what is funny? People who eat meat and bash vegetarians, that's a good one.
