They're all ugly, damnit.

Show me some decent looking, nekkid vegans, and I might consider it.

And once more, the PETA torques bolloques to the nation, dresses it up in some cabbage leaves and hopes for the best.
What about the massive iron losses all women of childbearing age suffer because all they're eating is SPINACH? What about the all-important parts copper, iron, tin, vanadium and manganese play in our diet and biology, that deposit in MEAT not plant tissue. You won't find and vegan Biologists. Trust me on that one.
Muntons, the lot of 'em.

Has anyone signed up for the free vegetarian starter kit?

Such a pity....
(Although she does look like she could kick yer arse...)

Don't forget, PETA hired a stripper to pose naked (but covered enough so you don't see anything) to sit in a busy intersection (I think in Union, NJ?) to protest housepets...

Lets look at their top 10 reasons for being veg:
<blockquote>quote:<hr />
1 We’re heart smart and cancer-unfriendly. Vegetarian women are less than one-fourth as likely as meat-eaters to get breast cancer, while vegetarian men have a 46 percent lower chance of suffering a heart attack. In addition, a vegetarian diet helps prevent strokes, osteoporosis, kidney stones, many cancers, diabetes, hypoglycemia, kidney disease, peptic ulcers, hernias, obesity, gallstones, hypertension, asthma, and many other diseases
<hr /></blockquote>Now, is that after you take all the suppliments for the lack of iron, copper, etc..?

<blockquote>quote:<hr />
2 We’ve never met a cow we didn't like. Modern agriculture keeps cows, calves, pigs, chickens, turkeys, ducks, and other animals in small overcrowded sheds, stalls, cages, or crates, where they're often unable even to turn around. These intelligent, social animals are deprived of veterinary care, exercise, sunlight--even the feel of grass under their feet. What we eat means choosing between the horrors of factory farming and respect for animals.
<hr /></blockquote>Did it ever occur to you that those animals prefer to be in a crowded area? It gives them security. Why to you think horse trailers are so small???

<blockquote>quote:<hr />3 We’re keeping our sex lives sizzling. Vegetarian foods keep our bodies slim, our skin clear, and our libido s… well, let’s just say they’re, uh, presidential. If you wouldn’t eat veggies for your mother, maybe now you’ll do it for your lover!
<hr /></blockquote>But most of you are as ugly as they come. Nothing a simple diet of watching what you eat and exercise wouldn't do.

<blockquote>quote:<hr />4 Vegetarians live longer, healthier lives. One 21-year-long study that compared meat-eaters and vegetarians showed that the greater the meat consumption, the greater the death rate from all causes combined.
<hr /></blockquote>So, you're saying vegetarians have a lower death rate?? Um, I'd say the overal deathrate of everyone is 100%, since we all die.

<blockquote>quote:<hr />5 Vegetarianism is an automatic cholesterol-cutter. The only foods that contain cholesterol are animal products, like meat and dairy. And since a three-decade-long study found that not a single subject with a cholesterol level below 150 has ever developed heart disease, that's hard to ignore!<hr /></blockquote>See #3 above

<blockquote>quote:<hr />
6 Vegetarians save an acre of trees each year. In North America, Britain, and throughout the world, forests are being destroyed to create pastures for livestock. Between 1960 and 1985 alone, nearly 40 percent of all Central American rain forests were destroyed to create cheap grazing land for cows later served on North American and European plates.
<hr /></blockquote>But what about all the plants you murdering by being vegetarians???

<blockquote>quote:<hr />7 We want to help conserve scarce resources. Producing just one hamburger uses enough fossil fuel to drive a small car 20 miles and enough water for 17 showers. In fact, more than half of all water used in the U.S. is used to raise and kill animals for the table.
<hr /></blockquote>What about cleaning the vegitables? Watering plants?

<blockquote>quote:<hr />
8 Vegetarians set a terrific example for friends and family. When people find out we’re veg, it's a great opportunity to educate them about how THEY can help animals, the Earth, and themselves through a vegetarian diet
<hr /></blockquote>How does going veg save the earth? As for helping animals, animals eat animals in the wild, so I'd say its natural.

<blockquote>quote:<hr />
9 Vegetarians are in good company. When we choose soy over sausage, and chickpeas over chicken, we’re echoing the choices made by Albert Schweitzer, Leo Tolstoy, Pythagoras, Albert Einstein, Gandhi, and dozens of other great thinkers throughout history
<hr /></blockquote>Why?? I'm sure we can find just as many bad people who were vegetarians.

<blockquote>quote:<hr />
10 Veggie food tastes great! Seven-bean chili, raspberry sorbet, spinach lasagna, gingery baked beans, coconut-pineapple curry, wild mushroom risotto, eggplant crostini, potato croquettes, strawberry crêpes, grilled portobello mushrooms, Szechuan noodles, spicy tomato ziti–need we say more?<hr /></blockquote>All sounds great for a side dish to a large prterhouse steak.

Went to Ruth Chris Steak House this weekend. $120 dollars for the two of us later, we had probably the best steak(her) and veal(me) we have ever had. Yum, yum, love that meat.

I wonder if any of those stupid tarts wear leather shoes?

Bah, so many stupid people, so few bullets.

<hr /></blockquote>No, no, you're thinking VEGANS, vegetarians are downright open minded compared to most of the vegans I've known. And let me state for the record, I don't have a problem with vegetarians as people, i just find it difficult to take thier views seriously after spending many summers living on my aunts farm..

But back to Vegans, they don't just not eat meat on pseudo-moral/ health grounds, they also won't wear anything made from animals or made with animals labor, or products FROM animals, like leather, feathers, fur, eggs, milk, cheese, butter, honey, etc..or things tested on animals: pharmecuticals, cosmetics, mouthwash etc **though one has to think how do they justifiy having a car running on fossil (animal remains) fuel.

These folks believe each animal has the same moral "right" **heh** to life as a new born baby. I won't even go there...Its another new age pseudo-religon all wrapped up in intellectual smugness and moral superiority. And there are even splinter Vegan extremists too. Fortunately most of these folks are usually part of "Zero Population Growth" movement...and IMHO they should get an honorable mention for the Darwin Awards"
