Animals murder each other all the time. But the implication is that animals are stupid, whereas we are super smart (BTW we are), and that as such, we must help them. The vegans don't contribute anything, so they create something that needs help in their heads.

If this guy is so concerned about life, then he should do something about it. And he doesn't strike me as a weight-lifting, beard growing volunteer firefighter or a member of a local mountain rescue service.

I started out writing this thread in response to the apparent malnutrition that inspired the PETA video. It just spiraled out from there, as it always tends to do with me; from a small issue into the bigger picture.

Should have stuck with PETA as the theme.

Promoting Veganism as a lifestyle is detrimental to society.

What isn't detrimental to society these days?

Gay marriage, exercise, and ostrich burgers.

Point taken. But genetics are a sumbitch too. I'm pretty sure the looks gap between these two was just as significant when they were 18.

Vegan: "Do you guys do realise that you're eating a dead animal, something that was alive before it was slaughtered for your greed AND BLOODLUST!"

My friend, "Andy": "Do you realise that you are eating a dead plant? But hey, I realise that unlike the animal which was slaughtered, the plant was picked from the ground and that that doesn't sound nearly as horrible."

Correct two out of three. One of these three will turn the world into a single enormous gulag of beastrape and despair.

Try to guess which one! You might be pleasantly surprised...
