But before you enjoy that figgy pudding or even a fig newton, remember: there's a dead bug in every one!

I like mine extra crunchy!

Poor vegetarians.....

More bad news for vegetarians:

In the United States (2000), 1.2 Billion animals are killed each year by combines and plows to produce things like wheat, corn, and soybeans.

Of the 8.4 billion animals killed that were specifically raised for the purpose of slaughter, 8 billion were poultry, and only 41 million are ruminants (cows, calves, sheep, lambs).

First and foremost, I'm glad we eat chickens. I've raised them, I hate them, and I'm glad they taste good... because I'd kill them even if they didn't. As for the mamals... we kill more mamals (which we don't eat) harvesting crops than we do on purpose.

Wheat is Murder.

I'm having steak. It tastes better than a tofu sandwich too.

There are lies, damn lies, and then there are statistics.

Don't be a jackass.

Heh... sorry.

Of course, what those statistics don't say is that most of the grains we produce in this country go straight into the belly's of thus said ruminants... so if we ate fewer of them, we'd need less grain, and therefore would kill less field mice in the harvesting process.

I'm still having a steak... and I'm gonna wash it down with some beer.

90% of all statistics are just made up on the spot.

It's an attempt to tread lightly on the ground.

I'm not a blood throwing, finger pointing, kinda vegan.

I'm a "hey, I just want to eat lunch" kind of vegan, but since my chain has been yanked, let me type out a few thoughts.

Couple things:

"Oh, I could never live without x." - You know how many times I've heard that? A) I don't care. B) That speaks poorly of the human drive for survival. and C) Raise one and kill it. Right this instant. Go do that, far away from me.

"My nephews mother's brother's son's college roomate was vegetarian/vegan and his hair fell out/dick fell off/face turned to puss." - Everyone has one. I'm increasingly convinced all of these stories are bullshit. Bad shit happens when you eat nothing but Kraft Dinner. No Fucking Duh.

"Plants have feelings too!/I read this study where they hooked plants up to e-meters and did bad things, and the plants screamed." - This means that someone once mentioned "The Secret Life of Plants" while you were in the next room and you're now an expert. I guess if you were actually in the room, you would have heard that the experiments in that book were unable to be replicated. Go back home and vote for intelligent design as science theory. Asswad. Also: Kudos to you for taking a stand for the plants. You want to go have a cry for the poor plants with me? We'll have a good cry, and a hug. It'll be special. I guess it would be if anyone who ever said this to me actually cared for the plants.

To sum up: I don't care what you put in your cake hole. I really don't. I'm concerned about what I put in mine. It's easy to not take a stand and have a moral belief. It's just assholery to point at someone who does.

I've actually put thought into this. Continued thought is the only thing that makes it work.

I spend a good deal of my time in grocery stores reading labels. Often times I have to reread labels of items I previously thought as "clean". (FYI: Fuck you Morningstar, thanks for the spurious Eggs and Cheese, jackasses.) I long to be able to go into a restaurant and just order from the menu. I'm tired of playing hide and go seek in my food.

It makes my days sunshine rainbows coming out of a puppy's dick when I'm trying to order something and someone mentions one of the above topics.

To be honest, I empathize with Cappy, but from the other side of the fence.

I used to be a vegetarian (some of you will remember those days), and now I eat little else but meat. Given my lifestyle and the fact that I don't have the time to try and trick my metabolism into thinking it's still in posession of a body under 28 years of age, I am Adkins' bitch. My weight fell off like a bad suit and my cholesterol dropped 30 points. Combine that with rarely drinking, kicking my Diet Coke habit, avoiding class-A drug use and not smoking for a year and I'm now healthier than I have been since I was twelve. Shit, I actually run from time to time. Works for me.

My girlfriend is a vegetarian. In fact the last three girlfriends I've had were all vegetarians. Vegetarians (and by extension, vegans) are alright with me. They taste pretty good too. Sorry.

But I now have things harder than your run-of-the-mill lacto-ova vegetarian. If you think its hard to find things that don't come with some sort of meat product, its equally difficult to find something that doesn't hum with a solid core of carbohydrates (because they're cheap). Only vegans go through the difficulty I do. So I hear 'Caps plight. And I can attest to the fact that he's extremely non-judgemental about it. Its a fact.

He's one of the good ones so no shit for him!

Plus... I have rationalized cannibalism into a vegan diet.

Sleep lightly near me.

As I always say... If God meant us to be vegetarians, he wouldn't have made animals out of meat.

....and that's all I'm gonna say about that.
