I am making baked cheese ravioli covered in tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese right now. Maybe I should fry up some bacon to balance things out. It would go good with caesar chicken wraps or turkey club sandwiches tomorrow.

Even though eating meat makes me constipated and drinking milk gives me diarrhea, I support your right to consume both.

Bend over and take what they’re forcing upon us, or stand up and put them down like the rabid dogs they are.

Unfortunately, all I see is a bunch of complaining but eventually bending over and taking it.

LOL! Well, thanks. I appreciate that. You know, I don't care what everyone else says about you. You're alright, man.

Wouldn't it make more sense to tax the people (vegetarians/vegans) that consume the very mechanism (flora) that removes carbon from the environment?

Just sayin'....

I’ve got a great idea that is still able to keep Obama’s promise about not raising taxes on those under $250k. Vegans could build up “dietary carbon credits” by eating only tofu based products. Then, they could sell their extra off set credits to those meat eaters that were interested in offsetting their meat based diets. Its a win win.
