No sex, please, you're a carnivore.

A new phenomenon in New Zealand is taking the idea of you are what you eat to the extreme.

Vegansexuals are people who do not eat any meat or animal products, and who choose not to be sexually intimate with non-vegan partners whose bodies, they say, are made up of dead animals.

The co-director of the New Zealand Centre for Human and Animal Studies at Canterbury University, Annie Potts, said she coined the term after doing research on the lives of "cruelty-free consumers".

Cruelty-Free Consumption in New Zealand: A National Report on the Perspectives and Experiences of Vegetarians and other Ethical Consumers asked 157 people nationwide about everything from battery chickens to sexual preferences.

Many female respondents described being attracted to people who ate meat, but said they did not want to have sex with meat-eaters because their bodies were made up of animal carcasses.

"It's a whole new thing – I have not come across it before," said Potts.

One vegan respondent from Christchurch said: "I believe we are what we consume, so I really struggle with bodily fluids, especially sexually."

Another Christchurch vegan said she found non-vegans attractive, but would not want to be physically close to them.

"I would not want to be intimate with someone whose body is literally made up from the bodies of others who have died for their sustenance," she said.

Christchurch vegan Nichola Kriek has been married to her vegan husband, Hans, for nine years.

She would not describe herself as vegansexual, but said it would definitely be a preference.

She could understand people not wanting to get too close to non-vegan or non-vegetarians.

"When you are vegan or vegetarian, you are very aware that when people eat a meaty diet, they are kind of a graveyard for animals," she said.

Geez, she could have just not swallowed and that would have solved the whole problem.

This isn't the same Annie Potts that played Janine in Ghostbusters, is it?

Cruelty-free? Think of those poor fucking plants. Nobody gives a shit about the plants. If you really care, you goddamned walking plant carcasses, you'd just starve yourself so you don't kill another living thing and then we can get on with living without your ridiculous bullshit.

People worried about killing a chicken for food do not have real problems.

Give me a fucking break. They are the same god-damn amino-acids you fruitcakes. Seriously. Let's break it down on that level. It's not like I have tenderloin steaks for eyeballs and an eye-round for a pecker.


Just more people to be first to the wall, I suppose.

But you're eating their souls!!!11!11!  :cthulu:

Crazy fuckin' Kiwis.

This is just fine with me. I wouldn't fuck most vegans with Ann Coulter's dick. Scrawny and bony ain't sexy.

Not to rush to the defense of vegans, WAP, but all the ones I know in the Seattle area and beyond, of which there are quite a few, tend to be on the chunky side. Don't tell anyone, but I harbor a theory that extemes in vegetarianism tend to be a cover for an eating disorder; it has nothing to do with teh poor animals.

It's a good thing too because I'd eat them!

I hate hippies so much.

The more I live, the more I realize I just hate people. It isn't hippies, or right-wingers, or left-wingers, or idiots, or people who can't drive. It's just people.

I describe all people I hate as hippies. Because 90% of the time, I hate them for their bizarre sexual, political, or environmental views. Which is to say, they're probably all  hippies.

Well, think of the hippies  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6CSIFi78Nw&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Evideosift%2Ecom%2Ftop%3Fpage%3D1%26range%3D1) when watching this

I am very okay with this. I like your definition.

I thought this was a thread about having sex with fruits and vegetables.  What a disappointment.  (http://www.funfilesandsmiles.com/smileys2/dancingfruits0nm.gif)

Since it isn't, we can just do this instead!

What about the 'canadians'?

I don't hate canadians. Or "canadians." I just hate stupid motherfuckers.

While I am included to agree with WAP's sentiments. I also think Buckcherry said it best...

Hey - You're crazy bitch
But you fuck so good, I'm on top of it

Wow, I bet that pineapple would hurt...  :eek3:

For many vegans it's not about biochemical content, but rather brain development that determines what they eat.  Some less strict vegetarians will often eat some seafood and shellfish as it has little more than a midbrain.  If people want to be selective in what they eat that's fine with me.  I'm not so insecure as to let their opinions bother me.    

I just want to eat a Vegan one day for the irony.

There is a group like this who marches in the Pride Parade here every year.

Studies have shown plants can feel pain, and some can even recognize siblings.  Their plant eating ways are devastating vegetable families!  Think of the saplings!
You'd want his meat!?

I see your chasm, and raise you one Mythbusters!


That episode was hilarious :D

These are the cries of the carrots! THE CARROTS! For you see, Brother Maynard, tomorrow is harvest day. And to the carrots, it is the APOCALYPSE!

Those bastards! They ate Sprout!

Fear the Reaper!

Actually there are people who say they only eat fruits because those evolved/are meant to be eaten (as their means of seed dispersion). Of course in reality there would be no way to survive just eating fruit so they must supplement that with other stuff on the side/sly.

When angry.bob's foretold revolution comes, you just might get that chance!  :-D

They smell funny, doubt they would taste good.

Yea, that's the other thing. I've only been in close proximity once for an extended period of time. She smelled like a devil's shit.

How the hell do you figure out a plant can recognize "siblings"? Or feel pain? It's not like you can hook it up to an EKG is it?


If it was made of steak yes. Hell, if any of you stay still too long you may end up on my plate if I'm hungry enough.

You fell into the chasm. I'm pretty sure that was supposed to be green. If not, there is an episode of Mythbusters solely about ESP and the experiments with a polygraph on plants.

Careful, the Scientologists could shut down f13.

Yeah. That's what scientologists get.

Does it strike anyone else hilarious that scientology and scientologists are both red underlined on the spellchecker?

Plants are living beings to. Humans to survive live on death we have to kill and eat other things be it plant or animal to survive. I think plants have as much or as little right to live as anything else but they will all fall before me and get into my belly if they are tasty.

Cows smell funny too, and they're delicious.

Omnivores are insecure.

Are cloned sheep ok to eat? They don't have a soul, and we're the ones who gave them the brain.

Uh, cows, pigs, etc? These aren't exactly what I think of when I think of lovely odors. They do, however, taste exceptional in a bun.

I'm guessing they have objections to sucking meatrod or getting their turkey stuffed by meat lovers....

Guess they don't believe in Genesis. Motherfuckin' Eve, screwing up everything. And don't hand me no lines about some snake leading her on like it was entrapment.

Actually, that'd be funny, have the snake convince Eve to munch on an apple and suddenly Chris Hansen comes walking out from behind the tree asking her to explain why she ate it. Then a camera crew comes running out, she takes off and God boots her out of the garden.

Cows, and pigs, are not vegetarians though.  So they smell just fine, it is just the lack of suitable toilet facilities that makes them smell awful. 

Feed lots really need cow toilets, toilet paper and running water.

As a vegetarian it's fun to see you guys run down the list of common stereotypes. 

Keep up the good work!

No green, no sarchasm.

There was an interesting paper on how a species of plant could tell its siblings were growing nearby through chemical signals and reduce its growth.  If non-siblings were growing next to it then it was more aggressive in trying to absorb water and nutrients.

Bacon tastes good... pork chops taste good...

That about sums up my thoughts on eating habits.

You guys are just trying to find reasons I can't eat people.

I'll hunt you after the vegans.  :eat:

Also... you might want to rethink that whole "Cows are not vegetarians" thing.

That is what farmers feed cows. Give the poor beast options and you will find its pretty much the youngest graze it can find. Pigs, bears, and dogs (to a lesser extent) are omnivorous. Interesting enough dogs seem to have evolved to eat skin and bones. But they wont turn down a grasshopper or snake either.

Considering the shitty dog food most people feed their dogs, it's no surprise that dogs will eat insects or even turds out of the cat box. 

Dogs should eat meat.  Red and raw.

Signe wolves should, but not dogs. they will both eat what they can get when hungry. And this is all in my opinion of course. No references are fourth comming. But as an akc breeder of bloodhounds I feel like I can make some obseravations about the animal. Of course I could be wrong.

Leaving the brains for who???

Was the cause of the aggressive growth due to species competition or truly because the plant's brothers and sisters were around?

My dogs knows where the forest is.  They're welcome to go. 

All the same species of plant.  The researcher harvested seeds from different plants and carefully mixed them into plots with mixed neighbors and all siblings.  If all the seeds were from the same parent, they were less aggressive in their growth than the mixed.
