Veganism seems extreme, but for beliefs(as opposed to health)it is a very logical step.
assuming you don't eat meat becasue you are anti-animal abuse and the likes
then you are not going to be eating cheese, eggs,milk...etc. because they come from the abused animals. My sister and mom were vegans for about a year, my mom started eating meat again, My sister still doesn't eat meat, but she isn't vegan anymore.
and obese vegan? well that wasn't a very well thought out statement, unless you mistook obese for meaning skinny. which would be more understandable.
Vegans, and I mean true vegans and not people whose diet is nothing but Doritos and Coke, are virtually never obese.</strong><hr></blockquote>
heh, a vegan wouldn't eat doritos OR coke.
For those of you who don't know, us vegans won't even eat gummy bears. They contain horse hooves. Note: the ingredient list will not say "horse hooves"
Random vegan fact for the day: Did you know that McDonald's coats their fries in a beef flavoring during processing?! Thats what gives them the golden brown color. :eek:
<strong>I enjoy killing small and defenseless animals for my own culinary pleasures.
Well, cows aren't small, but the fact that there are species of bacteria that are more intelligent might render them "defenseless".</strong><hr></blockquote>
Small and defenseless? You eat road kill??
My father-in-law's best friend eats "Squirrel pudding" or some crazy crap with squirrel in it. ewwwwww <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />
Eat meat. Don't believe the commie-veganist propaganda. There are plenty of animals that wouldn't think twice about eating you, and you're no better than them. Chicken and beef are practically vegetables anyway. Pigs can find truffles, so they ain't all bad. But you don't need a farm full of truffle hunters. Plus two out of three western monotheits don't eat pork. If the rest of us don't eat at least a little bacon every day we'll soon be over-run with swine.

I can't tell if you joking or not.
Chicken and beef are practically vegetables....yea okay buddy....I know what you mean, but thats still a stupid thing to say.
Factory farms are unnatural they are evil and they need to die.

Did you know that there are about a million other things wrong with Mcdonalds....so even omnivores shouldn't eat there

This used to be true but I don't think it is anymore.
I'm 20 years old and I've been a vegetarian for all 20 of those years. No fish, chicken or any other 'things with parents.' I manage to be perfectly healthy and happy and I love how it freaks out the meat-obsessed people who can't wrap their minds around not eating meat.
If anyone hasn't tried it yet Rice Dream is a ridiculously tasty alternative to milk. They make a few different flavours and also now make ice creams like 'Cookies and Dream'! Yum.
Most people ask me why I stay a vegetarian, partly for health reasons and partly for ethical reasons. But I am most definitely not the kind of vegetarian/vegan who will run into a steakhouse, grab someone's dinner and run away to 'liberate' the poor cow. All my friends eat meat and I don't mind watching people eat meat at all. People always assume it makes me uncomfortable, but it doesn't.
Now, the obligatory Simpsons quote: All normal people eat meat, Lisa. You don't win friends with salad! You don't win friends with saaalad! etc. etc.
rock on Ybot...I personally don't like rice dream much....or vitasoy....but I would say its an acquired taste...ya know? like for me its too watery....but the taste isn't bad...'m sure If I had it more I would probably love it.

Soy and rice milk alternatives are definitely an acquired taste with the exception of Rice Dream's Cookies and Dream ice cream. If you like cookie dough ice cream you'll definitely like. As for the watered-down taste, I kind of know what you mean. Sort of like skim milk tastes watered down compared to 2%?

Well, cows aren't small, but the fact that there are species of bacteria that are more intelligent might render them "defenseless".

I just avoid McDonald's as a rule. No one really knows what is inside anything there. :eek:

Of course not, but you're not the only one who gets to say it!
I'm a committed omnivore.
