Echt? Brad Pitt ist Vegetarier

Das ist mir jetzt tatsächlich neu.

 

[Seth8]

Orlando Bloom,
Michael Jackson,
Dirk Bach,
Bono (U2)

Hier sind auch noch ganz viele aufgelistet:

http://www.vegetarisch-leben.ch/prominente.html

Schon auch sehr interessant, wer alles so lebt.

 

[MorningSun]

Adolf Hitler ....

 

[Seth8]

Adolf Hitler ....

Na ja, auch A.H. war (nur) ein Mensch, der sich offensichtlich gesund ernähren wollte bzw. es dann vielmehr getan hat.

"Kommt drauf an, wie man Vegetarier definiert. Tatsächlich hat der Diktator zumindest nach 1930 kaum noch Fleisch gegessen. Das hatte wohl vor allem mit seinen chronischen Verdauungsbeschwerden zu tun."

[Lucia]

naja, dafür war stalin fanatischer vegetarier und pol pot wohl auch. beides ja bekannte massenmörder.
von charles manson und seiner "family" hab ich auch gelesen, dass sie vegetarisch lebten.

von daher ist es absolut unsinnig, prominente aufzuführen, um damit vegetarismus zu bewerben, als würde das die gesinnung der menschen zeigen.

...

von daher ist es absolut unsinnig, prominente aufzuführen, um damit vegetarismus zu bewerben, als würde das die gesinnung der menschen zeigen.

Man kann's ja auch einfach so interessant finden, wer alles so lebt ...

Für die, die sich generell für Ernährung und Co - einen bestimmten Lebensstil - interessieren.

 

[Lucia]

ja, hast du recht.
aber wenns tatsächlich darum ginge, dass es interessant ist, wer alles so lebt, dann finde ich es noch interessanter, dass eben leute wie stalin nie in solchen listen auftauchen.
dabei wärs doch interessant, oder?

 

[Seth8]

aber wenns tatsächlich darum ginge, dass es interessant ist, wer alles so lebt, dann finde ich es noch interessanter, dass eben leute wie stalin nie in solchen listen auftauchen.
dabei wärs doch interessant, oder?

Wir Menschen sind halt einfach auch sehr verschieden ...

Was meinste, wer alles in den entgegengesetzten Listen auftauchen würde? ...

Menschen sind und bleiben eben auch Menschen. Es gibt verschiedene Gründe, warum sich jemand so ernährt, wie er sich ernährt. Nicht immer muss es einen sog. spirituellen Hintergrund haben, wie man ja bei A.H. sehen bzw. auch nachlesen kann.

 

[Sayalla]

von daher ist es absolut unsinnig, prominente aufzuführen, um damit vegetarismus zu bewerben, als würde das die gesinnung der menschen zeigen.

...

Absolut.
Die einzige Gesinnung, die ich eh darin erkenne, ist die fleischlos leben zu wollen...
wobei ich es persönlich z.B. sehr mag, wenn du von deinem rohen Fleisch sprichst. Es ist so ehrlich und authentisch und auch, wenns mir nicht schmecken würde, es macht dich sympathisch und vor allem vertrauenswürdig.
