No, no please continue... good answers , good answers. You are correct there is no middle ground with these folks. Starvation tends to change ones view. People with full bellies complaining over the treatment of animals that is not up to their expectations is paltry and pathetic in regards to those that are hungry.I was tempted to post something, but I try to refrain from these arguments. I'm not a vegan, so I don't belong on vegan blogs. Judging by the passion the author uses in the article, it would be futile to discuss the matter. This person's mind is made up. If a person wants to be a vegan, that's their choice. It's an extreme lifestyle, IMO. I was a vegan in college for a while. I grew tired of it quickly.
I eat meats, eggs and milk. Yup, animals will die and suffer for me -sorry. If a vegan lives in a house, does all the natural flora and fauna where their house was built not get destroyed? Every worm, insect, mouse gets killed or displaced..... A person is foolish if they think that they can live on this earth without harming some kind of life form.
I better stop. I could go on and on and on........
