    • Erowid, on 10/12/2007, -31/+11@Achalemoipas: You're a retard.

    • 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.
    • stalefries, on 10/12/2007, -15/+8Oh shut up. For a small example, the net amount of protein produced by a cow (edible) is less than that of the the plants it feeds off of. It would be much more efficient for you to turn in to a cow and eat cow food.

      /proud meat eater
    • djauto23, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1@stalefries:

      the thing is you're supposed to give your leftovers you can't eat yourself to the animal, wich you then eat. you can also let them feed off land wich is not suited to grow things on (hillsides, mountainsides), and in that case you'll consume energy wich would otherwise be wasted when you eat the animal. so if the cow eats what could have been human food then technically it's a waste, but in the case of resturants returning leftovers to pig farms, for example, it's resource saving.
    • Sneezyx, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3Achalemoipas, can you say "unintentional satire"? Your initial comment was the funniest thing I read all day ... and I'm a vegetarian. You should've just left it at that.
    • arunforce, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4So feeding an animal then eating it is more effective than just eating? Sounds like feeding and eating would take up 2x the resources.
    • Sneezyx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+142X? Try 10X ...

    • 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!
    • 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"?
    • elegidito, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4Do you know how many field animals are killed each year while harvesting grains? Think of all the poor snakes, mice, and rabbits. Vegetarians aren't that innocent. Unless they grown their own food, and harvest it by hand, that is.
    • imikedaman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Holy crap, it's the emo orange!

    • 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.
    • 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!?
    • mortrek, 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...
    • 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

    • cankillar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2THE SERVER IS ALIVE! AMAZING!
    • 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
  • adragons, on 10/12/2007, -4/+25Very creative :P
  • SpaceDreamer, on 10/12/2007, -23/+7a stupid full-size popup appears when I visit that page...
    lame
    • Arctirus, on 10/12/2007, -5/+33I don't see anything like that. Firefox and adblock plus go a long way.
    • 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.
    • Nudar, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9I concur with parent. This thing is infested with popups that Firefox did not block.
    • randomgeek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Konqueror + Filterset.G and I didn't see any popups at all..

      Just sayin'
    • stonr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4fresh firefox install and no pop-ups. you gives deserve 40 years in prison.
    • random19, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Opera and ad-blocking with a HOSTS file. I see fewer ads then all of ya. ;)
  • u8myfoood, on 10/12/2007, -7/+63INACCURATE! since when were oranges and kiwis considered vegetables?
    • Carsonauto, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Haha, good eye
    • syco123, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1hey look at al the pedantic people.
      Chill out, just enjoy!!
  • Gundabad, on 10/12/2007, -11/+51I was looking for the Terry Schiavo one

    Eh, I guess that's last year's news
    • contradictator, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15That is so damn awful. Dugg up.
  • Samstar, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2ha ha i like it
  • 13tongimp, on 10/12/2007, -13/+2Lame moronic crap that belongs on Ebaum's World and browser crashing pop-ups. This is front page material?
  • mattfugitive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1Heh that's hilarious.. and creative. Take that vegans!!

    "..what's my name.. MEAT!" - Bigwig
  • 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
    • 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.
    • Erowid, on 10/12/2007, -6/+8No. Not a single pop up.
    • SimonMaher, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Yep I also got a load of pop-ups when I click the link the site wanted to install a .cab file and saying that my computer was at risk if I didn't install. I have heard in case's that clicking "Cancel" still installs the .cab file. Possibably spyware etc...
    • prisoner24601, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3Buried for pop-up spam.
    • 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....
    • johnlandes, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Odd, my lowly IE7 blocked the popups. Learn to configure your browser
    • random19, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Ad blocking with a HOSTS file is quicker and easier.
    • Killah_xxx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Firefox + Adblock, no ads nor pop-ups.
  • Todalion, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4Why do I feel like having an encounter with vegetables this evening? Those mouths looked interesting.

    Joke?: Whats the hardest thing about eating a vegetable?

    Getting past the wheelchair.

    Sorry.
  • deacon5808, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1great now what to vegetarians eat?
  • ho0ber, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4http://www.frogview.com/uploadimages/45de7169b59de8.91326887frogview-gallery.jpg

    My favorite. :)
  • seamoon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Now THIS is why we need a picture section.
    • kirakun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11or a FOOD section.

      Calling this a "technology/design" story is quite a stretch.
    • 6ixed, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2well, its veggies+pop ups...so it fulfills the technology criteria
  • zetamilk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/7108/1157289702865pp3.gif
  • nohkul, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Dugg since images are creative and cool. Site hosting the images is uber-lame.
  • 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
    • 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.
  • StudsTurkel, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Spam, Launched several ad-ware dialogs.
  • baalzebub, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2frogview needs to find some decent web designers, whoever designs their website now sucks..
  • Trollhammaren, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This got me thinking of that Badger Badger Mushroom flash again.
  • sparkweb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Fun pics, but the spyware on the site earns this a solid Thumbs Down!
  • ericnmu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7wow, don't go to that website in IE. It tried to download and install some crap
  • microchp, 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.
  • ebjcoat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3pice of ***** spam popups
  • albatross5000, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6wow I can't believe it's getting dugg with all the horrible pop-ups etc...

    Buried.
  • seamoon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4How about we use Firefox... And get no pop-ups...?
    • LeftistPersona, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Regardless of whether or not you use Firefox or not, sometimes there will be a pop up. I clicked the tab and immediately something popped up. I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.2, and still. Nothing is perfect (granted, FF comes pretty close).
  • hibachipenguins, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4http://www.duggmirror.com
  • milye, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I like the crying orange and the other little oranges looking at him.
  • Jack000, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0that mushroom guy has a hell of a weiner
  • superpatty, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1did anyone else think of that crazy chick that ethan haas is/was dating?

    her job was to dress fruit up and take their pictures..............weird
  • elegidito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Oranges are not vegetables. There was nothing to "watch"; I had to scroll through the pictures manually.

    Buried.
  • greenhummer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Bury this crap !
  • bahprell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0the eggplants kinda ***** me up there for a few seconds

  • AMDnVidiaATi, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1lolxlol

    Also serves you guys right for using IE! I am on Firefox and got NO pop ups and NO malware!

    DUMB ASSES!
  • vancanucksfan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1pics are not funny. creative, but not funny. buried as inaccurate
  • onemillion, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2thats enough to scare a vegetarian.
  • Hayaemsay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Mildy humorous.
  • Dustgunner, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I submitted this. :(

    • ceris, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Why would you take credit for that?
      Both suck, bury.
  • SquareOne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Buried for all the spyware and trojan possibilities.
  • triscuitbiscuit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@Sneezyx...
    I am not trying to bash you but when you try to refute something you do not give a source that is ultimately biased against the person that you are trying to refute. Thus do not show an environmentalist website for promoting vegetarianism because it would be the same thing as showing a meat union's website for promoting the eating of meat.
  • BeyondGoodNEvil, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I'm a vegetarian simply because I hate all vegetables and enjoy the process of having them killed and skinning them, then eating them, or sometimes boiling them and then eating them. I just f*cking hate them. No reason really, maybe for their color. I will literally salivate as I boil them. People think I'm just really into vegetarianism for the taste. They couldn't be more wrong. I actually greatly prefer the taste of meat, but the murder and torture of plants just appeals to something very dark in me that I can't seem to break away from the routine. A walk through a field of corn is just pure heaven to me, or rather my premonition that the corn will be violently shucked, the kernels scraped/cut off and then boiled.
  • rileyschuit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Why is this under the technology section?
  • 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.'
  • CaseyThr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1There was a children's book where all of the pictures were like this, but they were all pumpkins. One of the pumpkins was looking for his nose...it's a weird book.
    I can't remember what it's called, Mr. something-or-others nose. Does anyone know what it was called?
  • azntiger1000, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Vegetarians will think differently before they eat them now.
  • forevernever, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0here is what I don't get about vegetarians. They will not eat meat but wait a second if it's already a steak or a burger then guess what the animal is already ***** dead!!!! Not eating a burger or a drumstick will not bring it back to life it would merely be wasting the meat that the animal has already died to make. We as humans have sharp canines for a reason and it's not just for skinning corn on the cob, our eyes are positioned in front of our face not on the sides of our head as in herbivore mammals, thats right we are ***** mammals we are ***** animals we have to eat, *****, sleep, we fight over mates all that good ***** we just have a highly developed brain and a soul or spirit or some crap like that. I would say that man was meant to be omniviourus but not strictly veggie. Besides plants are living things too I mean you are still eating something that was alive you have still destroyed life to satisfy your appetite just because plans don't run or go moooo doesnt mean they dont feel pain come on now. I say we do an experiment and kill a veagan, cook em up and see if they taste better than a human that ate like most do. Thats if your into eating humans, JEFFERY DOHMER IN THE HOUSE BITCHES, word up to my boy Hannibal!!!
    • forevernever, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Damn that was a great comment forevernever I wish I could be like you. hey three, your mom should not have been a prostitute but then how else would you have been born?
  • 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.
  • HCJfilms, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So I guess there are people who do this
  • 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...
