Watch Out for Designer "Faux" Fur

Fish are friends, not food!

Fish are creepy.

I gained so much weight when I wasn't eating meat.

Vegans don't eat cheese.

It's probably the carbs with vegans.

There's nothing wrong with being a vegan or vegetaranian as long as you're getting the right amount of nutrition and do it consistantly. It's not the best weight loss method and it probably does more harm to your metabolism in the long run - but all flip flops in diets do do more harm than good.

Never said there was anything wrong with being vegan or vegetarian (though I could, I choose not to get into it. I'll respect people's rights to make personal choices I disagree with, without having to hear me tell them why I disagree).

Nor am I suggesting that all people who choose to live meatless lifestyles are freaks. I am suggesting that the PETA people who go around tossing red paint and destroying the personal property of people with whom they disagree are freaks, often emaciated vegan ones.

d)and then you can still have some emaciated vegan freak toss red paint on you because they either can't tell the difference or they don't care because it's all appearance, not reality.

I can testify to the fact that you can do vegan low carb. I've lost 25 pounds in the past couple months and I continue to lose.

I'm on a "I can't believe no one cares about the horrible things the meat industry is doing to the earth and the animals" kick right now, so don't mind me.

You do make some good valid points - they're not unheard.

I think it just boils down to what is important to everyone as individuals.

Like I won't use animal-tested products, but I still support medical testing (only when necessary). I view it as a sacrifice to save lives. But, cosmetic testing disgusts me to no end.

I know it sounds weird, but I have some things that I support, and others I don't, even though its contrary in some cases.

None of the above. I don't eat a baby anything. I don't eat deer or sheep ever. I eat beef and pork, but not veal or whatever baby pig meat is called.

What if the cow is just born ugly? Is the Clint Howard of veal fair game?
