Don't blue whales filter feed on krill (small shrimp) and aren't they many times more massive than a T. Rex was?

My statement was in respone to the T. Rex being the largest carnivore to ever live.

I'm saying the blue whale doesn't count as a carnivore, because krill aren't cute and cuddly.

Shrimp isn't halal kosher anyway.

(Honestly, I don't know if it's halal. People just kinda decide that on their own, but it's pretty normal in the Western part of the Middle East and SE Asia to eat them.)

Meh, I tend to go by Hanafi rulings because the parts where it matters are much more sensible (regarding lady problems, mostly). Plus, the Ahmadiyya Jamaat are (mostly) Hanafi and save for a few things Ahmadiyya views tend to be a lot more... sensible where it matters (say, when it comes to science) so even if I don't believe in their theology all the time I kinda go by their rulings on a lot of stuff like this.

The more annoying part is where Red 40 (the standard red food dye used in Skittles, Kool-Aid and a great number of other tasty things) is traditionally (although as far as I can tell not really in practice) made from insects and eating insects is kind of the same as eating shrimp, so since the source is unknown it's discouraged to eat/drink things containing it - except where unknown sources are actually supposed to be okay by default. I don't want to live in a world without Pink Lemonade Kool-Aid.

I don't think KAli has ever been what you'd consider to be a "normal person"

I went through a vegetarian "phase" a couple years ago. It was... odd. Basically what happened was when I took my first yoga class, I completely lost my tastes for meat. Except for the occasional fish. I'm still not sure why. For the most part, I wasn't one of those annoying vegetarians that are all preachy and stuff, but I do remember one time sitting there listening to a couple friends talk about butchering lambs, and I got so upset I started crying. It's certainly easier to eat healthy as a "normal" eater, but I do still think that overall being a vegetarian is probably healthier. But, I will admit that a lot of those so called arguments on that webpage are horse ****.

In particular, the one on hunger. People don't starve because we don't have enough food, people starve because food is too bloody expensive. It's only gotten worse since we started using corn for biofuel. That caused the price of corn to go up a lot in developing countries, which made it more difficult for the locals to purchase it.

I was a vegetarian because of a girl for a short time. The lesson I learned was that it was much easier to get steak than sex.

Worst day of my life.

oh no you got me

busted

Corn flakes.

It's a New World crop, technically, so I wouldn't expect to see it too much. This day and age, sure, world markets and all that. Just not as much as you see it in, say, the Midwest U.S.

Don't they use corn for lots of their food in Africa though? I remember reading an article a few years ago about people in Africa not being able to afford corn because the price had sky rocketed after it started being used for bio diesel.

Flies and cheetah?
