“Tomatoes feel pain, too!”
I’m still waiting for my veggies and flowers to defend themselves against deer and bunnies. Pacifists.
Actually, silk worms do die in the process...
You don’t have to worry about me. I would never eat a Brussels sprout even at gunpoint.
Back 60 years ago when my father was teaching me to slaughter and butcher the hogs , he showed me many thing and told me of how the hog was made to be butchered.
The Achilles tendon is there to hang the hog, when you gut the animal if you do it right the whole mass falls into the tub, the intestines are cleaned to hold the sausage links, the hair is used for soap, Nothing is wasted on the hog but the last squeal/
As I sit here this morning enjoying me sausage and eggs I feel sorry for these Vegans who put aside the tasty hams, sausage, the bacon, and go out an buy a processed soy burger.
Well I dont feel so sorry for them that I dont laugh at them.
Like everyone else on this forum, I don't care if a person is a vegetarian or not. But it seems veggie elites are not above lying to to achieve their agenda. Some years ago a stepson of one of my friends argued with me that man has only been eating meat for about ten thousand years and only due to a massive world-wide food scarcity. I tried to set him straight, but I don't know if it registered. Then I knew that the veggie leaders were telling all sorts of tales to gain adherents.

Just remember, the chicken is involved, but the pig is committed.
I started the Vegetable Liberation Organization (VLO) years ago but it never really caught on.
“Like everyone else on this forum, I don’t care if a person is a vegetarian or not.”
It’s the “religious” vegetarians you want to tie up and throw in a ditch. I have a close friend who is a vegetarian and I hardly know it because he isn’t “religious” about it (i.e. he doesn’t expect the rest of the world to organize around his food choices).
Plowing an acre of land for a vegetable garden kills and destroys the habitat of millions and millions of insects and worms and other small animals.Vegetarianism is murder!

FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
All life feeds on other life.
Even plants need nutrients that come from the decay of other things.
Mother nature is ruthless.
Years ago I read about radical fruitarians. They live on fruit and nuts and won't pick until it's falling off the tree. They permit grass mowing, but only after the grass has had a chance to reproduce (go to seed).
That is their argument. They consider honey a product of slavery!
I'm a life long vegetarian, not a vegan, but I am aware of the silent scream of the brussels sprout, so to speak. We all take life to survive.
My philosophy is, choose the point on the food chain you think is best, and respect the choice of others.
I far prefer the attitude of hunters, who typically respect the lives they take, over self-important veggie cranks like PETA ( people for the unethical treatment of humans).
