I always find it funny how some meat eaters get upset at the notion of veganism and become nasty to or about vegans/vegetarians. Its almost as if they feel bad deep down because they know its wrong to exploit animals for their own convenience. Because really, convenience and taste is all it really is, since it has been scientifically proven that we do not need to eat meat in order to be healthy. Yes, yes, I know what youre gonna say but humans have canines!. Yes we do. But so do gorillas and they eat 100% plant based diet! Our canines simply arent strong enough to tear raw meat, sinue and hide off a dead animal, are they? Now dont get me wrong, nobody can be 100% Vegan. We all use plastic, drive cars etc and consume materials extracted from the earth. All these things directly or indirectly kill animals whether it be through habitat destruction, pollution or actual slaughter. Even vegetable crops kill animals! BUT it doesnt mean we should all go apeshit and consume as much meat as we can! We should use what the earth produces responsibly. Just as an example, it takes 17 pounds of grain and 2500 galons of water to create just 1 pound of beef. Is that efficient? I guess what I have learned is that you cannot be a 100% purist about anything. The best thing to do is learn about a particular subject and base your actions on what you truly believe is the best for you, your fellow earthlings and the planet.
