Gosh, that sounds like... Plato? Either way, very true. There is only one path when dependency becomes the norm, and the parasites are watching for it with dollar signs in their greedy little eyes.

Obviously there would be great health benefits to eating vegans as opposed to pipe smoking curmudgeons!
In protest.
Favorite meat or cut? I'll go first.
For a steak its Ny strip for me. I Have a weakness for sausages of almost any kind. And I'm always up for BBQ.

I'll put it this way: In "747 crash survivor" scenarios KFC/Taco Bell paraphernalia could very well save your life.
I'm so sorry for posting this in public, but...

On a more serious note, some vegans actually support the death penalty for eating meat, and it's surprising how little resistance the idea gets within the vegan community.
I'm sure some of you already realize this, but just to be fair, not all vegans care what everyone else is eating. It's a personal choice and they respect others right to their own choices.
But it's easy and comfortable for many of us to categorize and label others and make broad judgments, saving us the effort of deeper understanding.
That said, I once knew a vegan who fed their dogs a vegan diet. That was one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.

That sounds like me, although I'm sure there are always exceptions, first impressions are often correct.
Believe me, I'm the most judgmental person I know. I try to trust my instincts and it probably saves me a lot of unwanted grief but we're constantly encouraged by media and politicians to divide ourselves into neat categories and it only serves the powerful when the masses are divided.
Right now I would just need to cut eggs from my daily diet to go vegan, but that's just because I'm cheap.
Except for dairy, but why on earth do vegans hate dairy?
If they actually object to consuming dairy then they must hate mammals as form of life in general.
If vegans think people that eat meat are horrible, because we're all equal citizens of Planet Earth etc... then I don't know how they can manage to get out of bed in the morning because 99% of everything else on Earth is still out there munching on each other.
They must support the extinction of all carnivores. And omnivores.
Ultimately this has got to be a plot to convince people to destroy the Earth.
Eat Meat! Save Nature!
Bacon Is Good! Support the Circle of Life!

I'm not a vegetarian, but I think it's an interesting question--not one to be waved away lightly. There have been times and places when it was thought proper to eat humans, to sacrifice them to one or several gods, to hold them as property, to torture them, or to kill them at will. Today, in the West, we've pretty generally agreed to frown upon those acts.
There have also been times and places when it was thought proper to eat non-human animals, to sacrifice them to one or several gods, to hold them as property, to torture them, or to kill them at will. There our position becomes more nuanced--we're against the sacrifice and the torture, but ok with holding as property, killing, and eating--unless it's the wrong kind of animal. Eating dog won't win you many friends, and bushmeat is illegal, depending on the circumstances.
Do you think that there could be a revolution of human thought on animal rights? Could you picture a future where our descendants look aghast at how we treated animals, the same way we look back at how our ancestors treated humans? Just something I've been wrestling with for a while now.
And what's with all the heavy threads lately!? I just come here to find out if Esoterica is in stock. :nana:

It's maybe a bit ironic that if people were closer to their food they might not object so much.
Anthropomorphization, such as Disney characters, gives people an unnatural view of the world. If you have worked with sheep you would know they are freaking stupid animals. Cute and fuzzy, but stupid.

Apologies to all. Been trying all day not to do it, but can't hold back anymore.
