Sharon becoming vegetarian(SP)


Okay I just caught the episode about Sharon becoming a vegetarian(sp). Alot of the show, which I like, was basically not a new idea except that Sharon was vegatarian. The bullies were stupid. I have have vegan friends and they still go to bar-b-qs.

they can go to socialize

I don't really like the fact that she's a vegan. I don't hate vegans, but it's not the best thing to be on a cartoon. It's got too much PETA propaganda.

reply

Mwaaah, not completely true...she does respect people who eat meat, and she doesn't preach.
She did at first, but she learned that everyone has their own ideas, and she respects that...so no problems there, I think.

reply

This. They actually handled her being a vegetarian (Not vegan, vegans are different but I don't doubt that one day in Sharon's life that she would become a vegan honestly) very well.

reply

Um, she's not a vegan. A vegan is someone who doesn't consume ANYTHING that comes from animals, which includes milk products. She's a vegetarian. Big difference.
And I personally think there's nothing wrong with a vegetarian being on the show. I'm not vegetarian myself, but all views should be represented.

i hate it when ppl confuse them. i think vegans must b insulted also, because they do have different morals than vegetarians.

But she was worried about gelatain in cheesecake...

You have to kill the animal for gelatin.

reply

Which is an animal product. Vegetarians just stray from meat. Wouldn't that make her vegan?

reply

If you have to kill the animal in order to obtain the product, vegetarians won't eat it (of course, there are some people who call themselves vegetarian who are less strict than the definition).

If you don't have to kill the animal to obtain the product (milk, eggs, wool, honey, etc) then vegans avoid it.
