In order for you to continue to live something once living must have died, whether it's a cow or a piece of broccoli.

Clearly the author has never spoken to a dedicated fruitarian.

[RockinRight]

Now that was good!

Off to have some prime rib.

[Smogger]

Quite honestly, the idea that someone would care more about a bunch of chickens being slaughtered in a KFC warehouse than the millions suffering from disease across the globe is sickening.

Me too man.

Q: What do you call someone who refuses to eat any living thing?

A: Dead.

Animals have a remarkable lack of empathy when they start to get hungry.

I'm always amazed at how hateful our 17 year old, 8lb cat can be when she doesn't get to eat her favorite food (for health reasons I have to ration it to her). Sometimes she gives me a look that says only one thing: If I was 120lbs bigger, I'd beat the sh!t out of you, girly.

"...why not consider the fact that the deliciousness of an animal is directly proportional to the amount of torture it receives?"

I never have considered this....but it sure explains why you have to age game - they weren't tortured enough during hunting season!

Postmortem torturing....we're on to something here!

There are fruitarian groups that claim to eat only fruits and trimmings and therefore never kill any animal or plant.

I can't imagine how someone could survive indefinitely on such a diet.

Aren't fruits considered "plants?"

And exactly what is a trimming?

I had pounded, kicked, and beaten chicken for dinner last night and it was quite tasty. This morning I had electrocuted, shot, and exsanguinated pork bacon for breakfast and it was pretty tasty, too. Fairly recently I had a boiled lobster for dinner and found it a heartwarming memory of child hood vacations on Cape Cod as it screamed when I dropped the live lobster into the boiling brine.

Death isn't pretty.

But you're quite right that it is often part of life and the PETA morons are just Communist toadies who want to deny us the protein we need to make our brains function correctly. Thus making us comliant little cogs in their socialist utopia.

And exactly what is a trimming?

Taking a shoot from a vine in order to grow a new one, taking maple syrup from a tree, etc.

[Ignatius J Reilly]

By eating only the fruit you don't kill the tree on which it grows, whereas you must kill that brocoli/wheat/etc

[Marysecretary]

You'd never have to worrry about constipation! You'd be as regular as clockwork.

[camle]

isn't eating fruit like eating the unborn? like vegan abortion?

[kenth]

Kill the broccoli! Death to that vile weed!

[talleyman]

This article went really well with my turkey sandwich (yes, I'm still devouring Turkeyzilla...)

[SAJ]

And what exactly is a trimming?

Leaves.

My steak was surgically removed and the steer has fully recovered.
