Mine were not taunts. I felt very insulted by her statements.

My diet is primarily vegie and nut based and 75% of the meat I eat comes from my own chickens and turkeys(not including fish). I do this for my own health reasons, and a little for the ethical/moral issues. Big poultry is hardly humane.

What bugs the heck outa me about discussions like this are all the absolutes. Do vegetarians live longer? I don't see how you can scientifically prove it either way. The test groups vary too much. Is vegetarianism healthier than the average US diet? I'd say heck yeah to that one. I've heard valid arguments for and against eating meat. I believe are bodies have evolved to be meat eaters based on our organs, teeth, brains, etc...

It's a personal choice and I support anyone's right to choose their own diet.

With all that said a good squirrel parmesan is to die for.

What she thinks of you is her problem, not yours.

Still waiting for that cow to show up at my house.

Ok so I was being a little sarcastic, but seriously, fruits and vegetables have feelings too. Just because they aren't vocal about it doesn't mean it isn't so.

So, I say to those who consider it cruel and inhumane to eat animals, but find it perfectly ok to eat my friends in the plant community, re-evaluate yourselves.

If you really want to practice a peaceful and humane lifestyle, where a pig is a dog is a rat is a carrot, for the love of God, Please Leave My friends in the plant kingdom alone!

Say no to it all!!!

My teenage daughters have 3 friends who are vegetarian. Two have health issues brought on my their eating habits, they do not understand and therefore cannot practice good nutrition. The third if pretty healthy, her mother is a nurse, her oldest sister is a Dr. and her other sister is a diagnosed anorexic who has been in and out of treatment over the last couple years. And although she understands the nutrition, if given a choice she doesn't balance her diet either.

All three are 25-50 lbs overweight.

Just my observations.
