cider float 2,538 November 25, 2015 Share November 25, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_qlgrfgMis Discord asks for codfish oil as if it's a common remedy the ponies have. So what would keep them away from having other foods based on animal products? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinkiest Pie 405 November 25, 2015 Share November 25, 2015 As @@Daring_Do said in "Over a Barrel" they said ponies' diets are vegetarian. Because he asks for cod-liver-oil does not mean he eats meat, nor any of the other ponies. 1 You might know me as: NoSupport, ilovecats292, PinkiestPie.

Broken Gear 29 November 25, 2015 Share November 25, 2015 As previously stated by@, and @@Daring_Do, no. The oil might be just a known medicament. Anyway, Discord was just screwing around. I mean, he's a MAD GOD OF CHAOS AND, well, DISCORD. I think he doesn't need to eat. Oh? You mean it's meant to be taken seriously? Oops. My Youtube. Here's the place where I would put my OC...

Sunny Fox 5,951 November 25, 2015 Share November 25, 2015 Hi ho, hi ho, and once more, here we go. Various mutations of this idea keep coming up, like the continual outbreaks of some non-fatal but annoying disease. No, the ponies are vegetarian. Any ham sandwich or codfish oil references are due to the fact that this is a cartoon and that sometimes, real world things creep into the dialogue and/or animation via the dialogue writers and/or animators, who are omivorous humans. You're reading too much into it. Stop. And if I seem overly harsh, blame the dozens of members who have brought this sort of thing up before you. 4 Happy minion of The Fabulous One!

L1ghtn1ng_Flash 213 November 25, 2015 Share November 25, 2015 Nope because if the did eat meat, then they would not have gotten sick when those " Baked Bads " were Made ( as pinkie pie has dubbed them ) as almost all of that was at some level Edible, dirt is Digestible ( it's not fun though ), worms are as well, but they are meat so The ponies got sick because their bodies were having a hard time digesting there "food", and since spike ( an omnivore ) was able to eat it without Geting sick, it points to the worms being the culprits, as the rest of the ingredients were somewhat Digestable. 2 Signature ( and my avatar ) by Laika"If you've got the smarts and the Guts to take life by the face and shake the Hay out of it, Then you can do anything you set your mind to, Of course there is no guarantee , but it's the thought that counts." - L1ghtn1ng Flash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrobakon 57 November 26, 2015 Share November 26, 2015 Ponies must ASSERT their DOMINANCE as the alpha species by butchering and consuming ALL OTHER CREATURES (sorry Flutters). Jk tho, i have no clue. Fluttershy and Princess Luna are the 2 BEST PONIES. Just sayin. and Trixie's really cool, too. peruse the dank memes and excellent forums with some choice jams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Jp2qrAE2dM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetolebob18 728 November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 Daring Do Unless school cafeterias have changed since I went to school, the mere fact that the alleged meat was greenish doesn't mean it was vegetarian. Sister Hooves Social, Sweetie cooks eggs for Rarity. Thus, ponies are NOT 100% vegetarian. If EQ ponies are like Earth horses, they can't completely digest meat, but it isn't poison to them. We can't fully digest Mexican food & we still eat it. Also, AJ has pigs. It is possible they are used for hunting truffles (expensive mushroom, pigs used to hunt it IRL) & for composting. It is also possible they are used for lard (The ad department calls it shortening, but it is still lard) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best poni 1,519 November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 I think ponies will use animal products but they don't eat meant. We've seen them eating cake and pastries, which have butter, milk and eggs. Maybe some ponies eat meat, but I'm sure most are vegetarian. 1 Signature by Laika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwanky 17,590 November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 Eggs are a source of meat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i_LwevxJYs Its a matter more of diet than belief I think, still odd considering horses usually shouldn't eat stuff like cakes and sweets but eh. The whole meat eating thing comes down more about the show's targeting of a younger demographic than anything else. It apparently sends a bad message to tell kids that their favorite characters eat sentient cute little animals, but its fine to have them eat the unborn chicks of chickens. For the record, ponies aren't above killing animals if they need or want to. Kind and compassionate Fluttershy did so with some fish several seasons back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truffles 2,033 November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 (edited) For the record, ponies aren't above killing animals if they need or want to. Kind and compassionate Fluttershy did so with some fish several seasons back.Awesome find! Considering she talks to insects which are lower on the evolutionary scale than fish, I wonder what it felt like for her to murder some poor fish that were just coming or of torpor? I suppose it's possible, however, that these fish were already dead - frozen and preserved in the ice and she goes around during Winter wrap-up and finds these unfortunate souls and puts them to good use for the other animals?
