I am fairly certain Halal doesn't disallow stunning of an animal pre slaughter, just that it is not killed by a blunt weapon, but rather killed via exsanguination from the throat. As, blood is forbidden to be consumed (and in the 2nd century would be highly likely to unsanitary, same with pig meat).
and their evangelism doesnt really bother me
I no longer object to the existence of people who eat only plants, and their evangelism doesnt really bother me, I simply fundamentally disagree with them. I live to eat, and love eating tasty stuff.
The consciousness of the animal that halal slaughter process mandates is a big part of the controversy surrounding it. The nervous system cannot be damaged (severing of the spinal cord) therefore the animal feels all of it until expiring from exsangination. Yes the blade cant be damaged or serrated.
Has anyone here actually met an evangelical vegan? Just curious. I know a few & most of them keep their beliefs to themselves. I've personally never really run into anyone randomly pushing their vegan beliefs on me. I have seen vegans get uptight when a meat eater pushes them, but that's about it, and to be expected if you pushed anyone on any of their beliefs. Makes for a popular stereotype on TV, at least.
So many flavours out there but they limit themselves to plants.
Why would you only want to taste plants for the rest of your short life?
You're lucky then. I've had random people stop me and comment on my meat.
Really? That's incredibly rude. I can understand religions or salesman doing that since that's literally what their job is, but what you eat is pretty...personal, haha. That's unfortunate man.

I haven't met any but clearly they're out there, just look at PETA. On the other hand, I think I've seen more people argue with and ridicule vegans as if they were hurting anything by not eating animal products.

this is true. its similar to how some born again christians are, if you know what i mean. especially if they recently/temporarily became veges
Lol...He's backkkkk with another face.
You're needed over there on the penis poll.
Bring your sister.
I agree.I think your old avatar was far more fitting. just sayin'.
Vegans are not too bad, it's the gluten free evangelists that are worse. Anything you point to "oh I can'thave that, there's wheat". There's practically nothing they can actually eat. They typically also are sugar free, even natural sugars, so they can't eat fruit either.
You only live once, and no matter what, you will die. May as well enjoy life and eat whatever the hell you want.
I've never understood why anyone would willing go gluten-free. I have to because I feel like crap if I eat it. Why why why would you give up bread, pasta, deli meat (yes they add gluten to it), hamburger & hotdog buns, pizza, dinner rolls, donuts, bagels, paninis, calzones, cookies, and all of the other wonderful culinary creations that are wheat-based? I'm not bitter I'm not bitter I'm not bitter
Granted, the only people I've seen (i.e. celebrities) & met (primarily vegans looking to take the "next step") who adopt a GF lifestyle by choice are girls, so my assumption would be that it's perceived as the new fat-loss diet, a la Atkins - no bread = no fat. But then again, diets have never made sense to me because they're temporary programs designed to give temporary results, then you go back to whatever your "normal" was before - it has to be a complete lifestyle change in order for it to stick, and people don't associate eating healthy with eating well (that is, eating tasty food that is easy to make), which is definitely something I can understand because it's taken me a long time to figure out how to cook healthier food options that actually taste good, haha.

Yeah true I guess some people do get some weird reactions to it, and yeah they pretty much add wheat to everything these days.
As I understand it, gluten-free alternatives are actually worse with regard to dieting with the intent to lose weight.
In humans, virtually 100 percent of orally ingested methyl cellulose can be recovered in the feces within four days, indicating that absorption does not occur.
