[quote cite="<a href="http://fray.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/454191.aspx?ArticleID=2176420">this</a>"]This article is so typical of the inane defense of meat eating among feckless pseudo-intellectuals. Oh yes- on this little patch of rocky soil, it would be more efficient to raise beef cattle than grow arugula. Brilliant. <b><i>Raising animals for food production pollutes the air and creates more greenhouse gasses than petroleum emissions.</i></b> [My emphasis. -Jayhoa] It also pollutes water tables and the land. Eat what you want, but if you eat animal products [by "animal products" they mean including milk, eggs, cheese, dairy...... ice cream fuckin WHATEVER -Jhawhlgh], you're no environmentalist.[/quote] [quote cite="<a href="http://fray.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/462866.aspx?ArticleID=2176420">YO HOMES IS THIS PERSON FOR REAL? I really am not totally sure, but if they are for real then they are the average hillary clinton voter</a>"] Why I'm better then you... by veganstraightedge Yes, I'm vegan. Yes, I'm better then you. Why? Because I don't live like a parasite off of animals born and raised for slaughter so you can enjoy that all american cheeseburger. If you still refuse to make the single easiest sacrifice then, you should probably just end your life. There is absolutely no logical end to consuming animals.[/quote] [quote cite="<a href="http://fray.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/448811.aspx?ArticleID=2176420">a post</a>"] You can always tell someone is on the right track... by deadscribe ...when the only responses to them that people are able to muster are juvenile comebacks ("Let's eat the vegans!"), obstinate refusal to listen ("I like steak so shut up!") and desperate, ad hominem attempts to paint others as hypocrites ("Vegetarians kill cows too!"). It's a perfect parallel to the idiotic spew being generated again in response to Al Gore's recent award, like "But he flies in a private jet!"[/quote] WAIT, AL GORE FLIES IN A PRIVATE JET?[/quote]
