but it makes them feel good and morally superior. And for them, feelings have primacy over reason as the source of motivation.
Another ‘blessing’ from the UK that is leading the West into the abyss of destruction.
I say we take off and nuke the island from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Wow... they really use everything but the MOO, don’t they?!
As someone who got cornered by a radical raw-food freak-show person, I think this is a great article!!!
I’m sure I’ll get flamed, however....
One could logically deduce without having actual numbers that the argument that vegans hurt less animals is true, unless the average meat eater did not eat any produce and only consumed meat.
The average diet consists of both meat and produce, therefore, animals dying on 2 different fronts, rather than the vegan, where animals die as a consequence of farming the produce (1 front).
The claim that because of their diet there is no animal fallout, that is simply absurd based on the obvious factors pointed out in the article.
Veganism dates back to 1944, when British Vegan Society co-founder Donald Watson coined the term to mean “non-dairy vegetarian.”Hitler was a vegetarian. I guess they wanted to one him up…
And that's not a compete list. Under "Manure,' they didn't list "President Obama's speeches."
Thank God for cheese, ice cream and eggs. Without them my wife would be a vegan.
Actually, vegans and their pagan lifestyle, are the most horribly unethical folks out there.
That’s probably why God killed them all with the Great Flood.
In Genesis 1.29, God said to Adam and Eve:
“Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed upon the earth, and all trees that have in themselves seed of their own kind, to be your food”
Note that this is a vegan menu. God later decided that everthing on earth was so bad, it had to be wiped out with the Flood.
When Noah gets off the boat in Genesis 9.3, God says:
“And everything that moves and lives shall be food for you: even as the green herbs have I delivered them all to you: “
Note that, this time, meat is on the menu.
So it appears that vegans, the first folks around, were so bad, they had to be eliminated and replaced w/meat eaters.
They don’t kill twice as many animals, if this is what you’re implying. They simply exchange some killed one way (by say rice farmers) for others (by the slaughterhouse). And since vegans would need to actually consume more food (since vegetable matter is a poorer source of things like protein) vegans may well be killing more total.
And this is not a flame. I just think you’re incorrect.
“Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed upon the earth, and all trees that have in themselves seed of their own kind, to be your food”
Note that this is a vegan menu. God later decided that everthing on earth was so bad, it had to be wiped out with the Flood.”
I take it that even God dislikes hippie vegans.

Truth doesn't matter to a liberal - what matters is how they 'feel' about themselves - and how they 'feel' IS superior.
A conservative comic could have a field day with the idiosyncrasies of liberals... the jokes write themselves. Or even a liberal comic - one who can joke outside the box... calling Jon Stewart - calling Jon Stewart...
To me, Genesis suggests that it wasn’t God’s original intent for man to eat beast. That changed after the fall of man.
I don’t believe that we will be flesh eaters in the Second Coming.
Bumper sticker I saw the other day......
Vegetarian - Old Indian word for bad hunter
>>One could logically deduce without having actual numbers that the argument that vegans hurt less animals is true, unless the average meat eater did not eat any produce and only consumed meat.<<
Since the vegan eats a lot more veggies & grains than the omnivore, your argument is incorrect.
4-6 oz meat, plus 3 servings (baked potato; grilled/steamed veggie; dinner salad) of veggies vs 4 servings of veggies & grains (Boca Burger, salad, baked potato, steamed/grilled veggie) means that the extra veggies/grains the vegan consumes in the Boca Burger far out weighs the single serving from a single animal of the omnivore.
If, instead of a Boca, the vegan uses a serving of rice or bulgar and a serving of beans (to “balance” the amino acids) the disparity gets even worse.
It is feelings over fact.
