The Logic of a Vegan Diet
Dear Colleagues:
As long as we eat animals and animal products, which is completely unnecessary and serves only our palate pleasure, we will continue to use animals for other clearly frivolous purposes. In other words, if you think it is okay to impose suffering and death on animals just because you like the taste of animal foods, you are not likely to think circuses, zoos, hunting, and animal clothing are morally objectionable.
Getting people to see that something that they do three times a day every day of their lives is morally objectionable is the key to opening their eyes to the immorality of all animal use.
It’s really a matter of simple logic and common sense.
If you are not vegan, go vegan. It’s easy; it’s better for your health and for the planet. But, most important, it’s the morally right thing to do.
The World is Vegan! If you want it.

The Shaolin Monks seem to do fine without meat, so it must be logical
First I'm a woman!
Second.... do you need a box of tissues?!
I always giggle to myself when people who are sooooo grossly misinformed take it upon themselves to comment or speak about a topic they clearly know nothing about!!
On the up side of that, ignorant speakers almost always seem to prove or confirm the point of the opposing side.... which the grossly misinformed is attacking!!
Do your homework! Then make statements!
I guess Joseph Whales was too busy reading the "dummy's guide to survival in society" to back up any info in his rant with real information.
Ever do an Iron-Man challenge there Mr. Kill and Eat?
Did you actually go portaging and bring your spear to kill the food you were barbecuing? ( Oh AND you spelled barbecuing wrong...of course!)
Nooo. your the type that probably just stopped at the No Frills for some pork chops on your home from your job at the mall.
Do an iron-man challenge, run a marathon and then look up vegan athletes.... I guarantee their time and place at the finish line will be much faster and higher than yours!
THEN, start throwing "informed" comments around!!
Get the F outta here with your talkin' smack!!
Seriously!
Who's wimpy now?!! Have another cheeseburger!!
