Good point.
In all my experience with my family at meals etc, you wouldn't know who was vegan and who wasn't. Same with professional meetings and events. Most vegetarians/vegans I deal with aren't militant about it.
However, I can always count on vegetarians/vegans to catch it on these threads, even though many Freepers are, well....
vegetarians/vegans.
I guess no one told them meat eating was a conservative requirement ;)

lol I just watched 'Soylent Green' last weekend on DVD (from NetFlix.) Since so many of the environmentalist 'greens' relish this soy based tofu 'tofurkey' maybe tofurkey should be renamed 'Soylent Green.' If the euthanasia movement merges with the vegan environmentalists, and throw in a pinch of Al Gore and then poof! You've got Soylent Green!

Three or four gallons of bio-diesel feedstock, over a naked flame? I'll keep my wits about me ... You do that, stay safe!
I've never seen what could happen, but I've imagined it plenty of times. My husband is always the designated fryer, because sober or not, that bubbling grease scares me to death!

We like to politicize everything here. I think my loafers are democrats.

Not a turkey fan myself, but what else are they good for other than eating?

Tofurkey. That's disgusting. We're having 2 turkeys this year - one smoked, and one BBQ'd.
To: najida
I
respect anyone who cares so much about their own bodies and health that they are willing to undergo such an excercise as to avoid lovely, wonderful, succulant, dripping, fabulous
meat. I really do. I salute them.
And the other side of the coin is, of course, I shouldn't be made out to be Adolf Hitler because I enjoy eating an animal that is raised exclusively for it's meat and milk.

Hey, I eat meat.
I have a sibling whose diet is beer and meat and meat and beer.
I have 2 others that have chosen not to eat meat.
End of story with that.
Honestly, I've seen way more bad behavior directed at my loved ones who don't eat meat by mean spirited family members who are idiots and who think it's thier right to be rude idiots.

I have a (former) sister-in-law who is a
militant La Leche League member. Made my wife feel positivly evil because she only breast-fed our daughter for a week before going to the bottle. This woman breast-fed her daughter until she was six. (That's not the child getting fed.) So yes, by all means, let's just be nice to each other. I agree!

Why is there a 'vegan alert'? Is dietary choice now a conservative / liberal thing?

How is it possible to live a life that is free from cow or animal by-products? From glues to cleaners, they all have some animal componants, don't they?

God bless the vegans. If there are enough of them to reduce supply, turkeys will become cheaper for omnivores like myself.

My foot, vegetarians who claim moral superiority really get up my nose. Exactly. Vegetarians who are because they want to be are fine with me. It's those who try to pull guilt trips. My husand knew a girl at work who used to talk about those who eat carcass. Her last day of work he said he would have meat in her honor.

"I'd love to invite one to dinner," said Garrett, who has worked at Good Health grocery store for 10 years. "I would love to have one as a pet turkey some day." Till the first time (of MANY) that it craps in her house. I've lived out in the country and turkey is the WORST. Pigs are a close second.

I'm thinking of trying a Turduchen this year... I got a frozen one a couple of years ago and was unimpressed. Steve is frying the main turkey, but I've got one still in the freezer from last year that I'm going to try smoking.
