- dominasian, on 10/12/2007, -9/+147this might pose a moral dilemma for vegetarians
- u8myfoood, on 10/12/2007, -7/+63INACCURATE! since when were oranges and kiwis considered vegetables?
- Gundabad, on 10/12/2007, -11/+51I was looking for the Terry Schiavo one
Eh, I guess that's last year's news - CBTF, on 10/12/2007, -17/+56And you might want to get your facts straight as well. Vegetarians take up far less resources than meat eaters do, it's a fact. Do some research before being so ignorant, simply looking at statistics shows us that meat eaters have a much higher impact in terms of habitat being destroyed, etc. You'll find interesting things out, like how nearly 50% of the water in the states is given to livestock.
Besides that, some people are vegetarians for different reasons. Some do it for health, as an example.
Myself, i'm not a vegetarian. That's no excuse for being ignorant though. - Arctirus, on 10/12/2007, -5/+33I don't see anything like that. Firefox and adblock plus go a long way.
- Jozer99, on 10/12/2007, -5/+30But I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals! I'm a vegetarian because I hate plants! These pictures are great!
- adragons, on 10/12/2007, -4/+25Very creative :P
- EruLabs, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Lame, I bought this book for my grandmother about 5 years ago... its called "Play with Your Food". I cant remember who made it. This is ripped.
Edit: found it:
http://www.amazon.com/Play-Your-Food-Joost-Elffers/dp/1556706308 - randomgeek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13This is retarded. "But, but.. veggies kill animals too!" Hey, guess what, we kill plants as well. Unfortunately, at our level of the food chain *something* has to die in order for us to eat. But you're going to compare field rats and birds that are unintentionally killed while harvesting with the _intentional_ slaughter of cows, chickens, fish, birds, and fowl by the millions each?
Hey man, killing a mouse isn't cool, but intentionally raising lifestock for no other reason but to kill it is quite a bit different. To deny that is to engage in the same propaganda you claim veggies use. - Sneezyx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+142X? Try 10X ...
http://www.alternet.org/envirohealth/47668/ - seamoon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Now THIS is why we need a picture section.
- contradictator, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15That is so damn awful. Dugg up.
- imikedaman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Holy crap, it's the emo orange!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fAr0FEefPU - kirakun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11or a FOOD section.
Calling this a "technology/design" story is quite a stretch. - resplence, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12Yes, the pictures are great. To help get things back on track, let's focus on the submission again.
"No Comment. Just Watch."
New "title says it all"? - ModernGeek, on 10/12/2007, -6/+14Marked as Spam. The site uses the onclick event to pop the windows up, so you have to click on the background to get them to come up. Lame and tasteless of the publisher.
- lilricky, on 10/12/2007, -7/+14Anyone else get a ton of pop-up's off this page? as soon as I clicked on the link, 3 popups got through firefox's popup blocker. Some drive cleaner ad. no digg
- CBTF, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Achalemoipas, arguing with you is absolutely pointless. You are letting the points soar right over your head. Nobody said vegetable farming doesn't hurt the environment. What we are saying is that it does a heck of a lot LESS damage than the livestock industry. People need to eat, so vegetarians don't have much of a choice. Example: "Area of tropical rainforest consumed in every quarter-pound of rainforest beef: 55 square feet". I ask you, then, how much area is destroyed for some corn? A lot less, for obvious reasons.
I don't get this chip on your shoulder. Did a vegan ex cheat on you or something!? - zetamilk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/7108/1157289702865pp3.gif
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Animals are fed a gigantic portion of the grains that we farm... so that we can eat the animals.
The amount of nutrition in animals is order of magnitudes lower than the amount of nutrition in the food that we feed them.
Essentially, eating animals is horrible for the environment as a devastating amount of the plants, veggies, etc that we farm go straight to feeding cows, pigs, chickens, etc.
A vegetarian takes the nutrition directly from those plants, meaning that they need significantly less farmed products than an equivalent meat eater. Some farming is still necessary, because humans do need to eat *something* once in a while.
I'm not a vegetarian, and my primary motivations for not eating red meats are related more to health and environmental issues than suffering. The meat I eat is typically from free-grazing small farms. These farms aren't particularly efficient on space, but are pretty efficient on environmental impact... - Nudar, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9I concur with parent. This thing is infested with popups that Firefox did not block.
- ericnmu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7wow, don't go to that website in IE. It tried to download and install some crap
- randomgeek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Konqueror + Filterset.G and I didn't see any popups at all..
Just sayin' - sparkweb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Fun pics, but the spyware on the site earns this a solid Thumbs Down!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Firefox + Adblock, no ads nor pop-ups.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Whats with the pop-up spam and crap about adult sites ending a marriage? LOL
That spam/trojans were funnier than the pictures. - StudsTurkel, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Spam, Launched several ad-ware dialogs.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4fresh firefox install and no pop-ups. you gives deserve 40 years in prison.
- kingfoot, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8i thought the fish were.
- yidali, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8Even with Firefox and Adblock there are some ads which will show when you click anywhere on the Site. One of them is a Trojan so becareful.
- Zera, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4While being somewhat offensive, I think Achalemoipas' point was this:
Alot of people are vegetarian because they think it results in the death of fewer animals. The truth is that even just one big field, cultivated for one year kills tens of thousands of little creatures. And not just insects, but mammals, reptiles and amphibians. Mice, Rats, moles, voles, rabbits, field birds, snakes, frogs, toads, salamanders, etc, etc, etc, etc.
In fact, the diet that results in the fewest animal deaths are consumption of meat and animal by products that come from grazing animals in pastures. Eating grains that are no-till planted, etc.
I have a friend who was a vegan for 7 years before reading this summary of an Oregon State Ag research project. http://web.archive.org/web/20041107084521/http://eesc.orst.edu/agcomwebfile/news/food/vegan.html - SquareOne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Buried for all the spyware and trojan possibilities.
- seeyardee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Spyware = Bury.
- seamoon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4How about we use Firefox... And get no pop-ups...?
- elegidito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Oranges are not vegetables. There was nothing to "watch"; I had to scroll through the pictures manually.
Buried. - contradictator, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7Angry fruit FTW!
- Carsonauto, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Haha, good eye
- albatross5000, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6wow I can't believe it's getting dugg with all the horrible pop-ups etc...
Buried. - milye, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I like the crying orange and the other little oranges looking at him.
- empy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4@Achalemoipas "harvesting vegetables kills many different species of small rodents and birds. The crops are covered in insecticides and pesticides that pollutes the ground water, lakes, rivers, etc."
Go organic - Erowid, on 10/12/2007, -6/+8No. Not a single pop up.
- Trebert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sound Like Soupe opera
- CPoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So I don't understand why this was dug up so much. Was nothing happening in the world? Funny but not worth the top 10...
Do it... - kevinarth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think this is cute. It's creative and worth a digg.
But, I agree, it probably shouldn't be under 'technology.' - HCJfilms, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So I guess there are people who do this
- on9star, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1now there's a cool new way to get kids to eat their veges
- ioannusdeverani, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4I didn't get any popups. I am using Firefox 2 w/ the new-ish Google Toolbar on Linux. I don't know if that has anything to do with it....
- marinist, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Yeah, that was Joost Elffers. This might be a calendar by him--look at the hole punched in picture #2.
- three, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1who is digging this, and why? I'm sorry, there are many other forums on the internet where one can post cute (read: lame) photos. said forums can then console (flame) the nice (ignorant) person, after providing clicks for ad revenue. this should *not* have reached the Top 10 in Technology.
- johnlandes, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Odd, my lowly IE7 blocked the popups. Learn to configure your browser
