HAHA!!! I am a vegetarian too. The other day I was talking about UO (yeah, I still play UO. . . too much nostalgia to let go of) and said “Yeah I just keep some fishsteaks handy and eat them whenever I get fatigued, works just as well” when my friend told me I needed to carry more stamina pots. A non-gaming co-worker immediately started spreading the news that I eat fish and carry dead fish with me everywhere. ..

one reason i prefer hunting cow-people on wow is the hope of a good hamburger drop… also plants don’t cry out when they fall… or try and get revenge after a 3 hour camping of their corps :3 i tried being a vegan but the hard-to-pronounce food is expensive… and i do like a good salad with ranch… or lemon juice… btw is Ranch good for a vegan salad… if so i could probably rise to respecting my fellow sentient cow-people :3

Somehow, I always feel guilty being one of the few meat eaters at Naropa University.

I don’t have any interest in role playing as a vegetarian. I just don’t see how it would make since in the world.
I’m extremely skeptical of any research that indicates that plants feel pain in the same way animals do. From Vegan Outreach:

For plants to feel physical pain, they must have some sort of organized tissue which, upon stimulation, would activate a structure in the plant that is conscious and could perceive the stimulation as painful. There are no structures within plants that are analogs to the pain receptors, neurons, and pain-perceiving portions of the brains of vertebrate animals. Animals, being mobile, benefit from their ability to sense pain; but plants simply have no biological or evolutionary need for the experience of pain. Even if, contrary to all evidence, plants did feel pain, it would still be preferable to be vegan. More plants are killed in non-vegan diets, as more plants must be harvested to feed animals.

That being said, this is just a comic, and not a place to debate vegetarianism. Eat what you want, and enjoy the comic.

Uuuuh, buff foods are for hard heroics and raids. That’s not the place to roleplay. Anyone who sticks with roleplaying in a raid and refuses to eat from a fish fest because “I’m roleplaying a vegan, I can’t eat fish” deserves a /kick.

As far as I can recall, WoW doesn’t have ANY useful buff foods if you want to roleplay a vegetarian. They ought to have something. . .

Question to vegans and vegetarians: What are your thoughts on the recent research showing that plants may feel pain? Sure animals are not more worthy of sympathy because they have faces like us. Maybe eating anything at all is morally indefensible.

Oh, I see. I’d like to taste it someday. I’m not a vegan myself (in fact, I don’t have a good opinion about vegan diet, no offense intended), but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying grain and greens.

@Hegar: Thanks!
@YeahStriker: Yep, I’m vegan. Quinoa (I think it’s pronounced ‘keen-wah’) is a grain, like rice or cous cous. It’s popular among vegetarians and vegans for its high protein content. Consuming quinoa is the fastest way for a vegan to earn xp and level up.

So, are you a vegan?

Oh, and best place to farm chilled meat is from gorillas in Sholazar.

BTW, what’s quinoa?
