Vivek is a vegetarian. Will Trump still select him for VP?

I can respect this in one way. But I think we need Steak Eaters to run this country.

Note, Novak Djokovic is also a vegan, for over a decade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOD-JkUNIc0

Brush the dirt off and drag it across the grill once for color.

All done.

exactly. Rare is the best because if you get a good steak, not a walmart or grocery store special, you don't need a lot of spices or steak sauce. It's supposed to be delicious on it's own

I think it’s cultural and don’t have a problem with that, specifically. What I can’t stand is the sanctimonious self righteous vegetarians (though usually those are more vegan) who constantly finger wag and proselytize about it.

I use to watch a lot of 'Van Build' videos. Lots of those were vegans. We'd count how many times they'd remind you of that.

Right?? It’s like the people with their “I mask to protect my neighbors” or “I got my Covid vaccine” profile pics 🙄

As they say, how do you know if a person is a vegan? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you within the first few minutes of meeting them.

Heck do what you want but stop trying to show how superior you are because of it and let other people live their lives 🙄

I assume, not our good old "if the house is a rock'in, don't come knocking"-style vans from the 70's, right. I mean, I had a '70 E100 with fat tires and flares and I dig a fat chunk of sirloin.

God gave us dominion over all animals. Besides meat tastes good.

The Ancient Greek philosophers used to say "everything in moderation". We all need plant food AND meat and dairy. In my family we eat meat once or twice a week, lots of fish, and even more vegetables

We are meant to be omnivores.

Bryan Dair's avatar

But not carnivores. We don't have the morphology to chew and digest raw meat.

True carnivores have acidic stomachs that digest meat with very little chewing.

True herbivores have very long digestive tracts.

RunningLogic's avatar

We’ve not needed to eat raw meat for millennia, since we’ve had fire. Maybe before that we did have a system better suited to eating raw meat. Though people still eat steak tartare and carpaccio so there’s that, too 🤷‍♀️ To be fair it’s ground or thinly sliced and not huge hunks of meat but still raw.

I don't care who eats what so long as they don't try to make me eat it or put me down for eating what I want to eat. Sadly, there's so many out there trying to enforce their ways on everyone else. Don't know much about this guy one way or the other.

Let's not limit our choices based on things of lesser importance. For now, let's save the country; then we can worry about individuals' diets. My concern about Vivek is that he talks a great game, but has no track record I know of to support his current assertions of belief.

Remember, no one heard of Barack Hussain Obama either, yet he became like a god almost overnight. No track record. Just a 'community organizer', blah blah blah......it was all horse poop. I'm thinking this Vivek guy might be another one of the planted. Dem and Republicans are all the same now, so it really doesn't matter which political side gets the plant, just where it would be more useful.

Here's a comment by George Washington, which I cross-posted a couple of years ago on Facebook.

"I wish I may be mistaken in imagining, that there are persons, who, upon finding they could not carry their point by an open attack against the Constitution, have some sinister designs to be silently effected, if possible. But I trust in that Providence, which has saved us in six troubles yea in seven, to rescue us again from any imminent, though unseen, dangers. Nothing, however, on our part ought to be left undone. I conceive it to be of unspeakable importance, that whatever there be of wisdom, and prudence, and patriotism on the Continent, should be concentred in the public Councils, at the first outset." – George Washington, letter to Benjamin Lincoln, Mount Vernon, August 28, 1788; Fitzpatrick 30:63

And yet everyone in the Bible acted in the world; our Founders and Framers acted in the world; Jeff is acting in the world, for which I am very grateful; and we must act in the world, whether or not we believe that God holds all in His hands, as I do. Otherwise, we could all sit down right now and wait for someone to serve us our meals, but that's now how God made the world.

You're not wrong. Proverbs 25:26 "Like a muddled spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked."

I'm merely saying that we shouldn't put our faith in *men.*

Vivek concerns me. He used the phrase, "open society" in the past, which is a Soros-coined description of the WEF's reset/NWO, one world gov't concept. He received a scholarship from one of the less-popular Soros, but he's so smooth... a friend mentioned that Vivek reminded him of Obama... and that did it for me. He's going to have to prove to me he's really conservative.

Is he vegetarian because of his heritage/religion? Hindus are vegetarian, but I don't know if he's Hindu. Most Indians I know who are vegetarian don't care if others eat meat.

He's Hindu. And I agree about Hindu attitudes about meat-eaters, based on my experience of a few months in India (though long ago now).

Expand full comment
RunningLogic's avatar

Yes same experience, I have had a lot of interactions with Hindu Indians in my life and have never had them say or even imply anything about my eating habits. They are very “live and let live” in that way, in my experience.

I'm getting cataracts and I first read "steak eaters" as "sin eaters" lol, which sort of makes sense since the government is a corpse at this point and perhaps we need someone to eat its sins in the old UK funerary tradition lol.
