It's shit. It's unpalatable shit.

Why are "vegans" continually trying to make stuff look like and taste
like meat? *Extremely* suspicious.

No one likes "vegan" food - no one.

Most of you people who are supposedly ethical veg*ns probably always hated
the taste and idea of eating the flesh of animals for whatever personal reasons.
That's something you would have to learn to get over in order to advance to a
higher position in which you could actually contribute to decent lives for
livestock animals with your lifestyle, instead of only to the deaths of wildlife
as you are restricted to by that lifestyle. That fact plus the fact that no meat
consumer has reason to oppose considering livestock animals' lives plus the fact
that it's highly unlikely that a person would completely change their pov
entirely all of a sudden for no reason they can explain, are all very strong
reasons to feel the "Dutch" character is lying when he claims that he did
completely change his pov entirely all of a sudden for no reason he can explain
and also began eating meat. He's lying because he admires and wants to be like
Goo.

It almost certainly involves more animal deaths than grass raised beef, and
in some cases grain fed beef. Not as bad as rice based products, but still worse
than grass raised beef if not grain fed as well.

It's mostly for people who like meat but are trying to eat "healthy".

I don't understand what you mean. What happened was that I said I
didn't realize that they called vegan meat Satan, which is of course
true. At that stage I didn't realize that he wanted to make a pun on
the names of one of the mock meats, but then he explained himself.

Is that in some way "falling for" the joke? How would my response have
been different if I hadn't fallen for it?

This isn't true. Just about everyone enjoys some food which is
suitable for vegans. And a significant majority of those people are
healthy. Furthermore a significant majority of those who consume an
exclusively vegan diet are quite healthy. The American Dietetic
Association has endorsed the position that appropriately-planned vegan
diets are nutritionally adequate at all stages of life, and carry many
significant health benefits.

But now, straight from the twisted brain of yours truly, here comes
Amputarianism. Amputarianism fits in between omnivorousness and
vegetarianism.
You can eat meat, but only if the animal is not killed to produce the
meat. You are allowed to eat animals that have died of natural
causes, but also parts of animals that have been removed from the
animal in such a way that it does not cause the death of the animal.
Example: Chicken wings. Chickens really have no use for wings,
since they don't fly anyway. An amputarian can enjoy the delicious
flavor
of Buffalo-style wings, guilt-free. Egg laying chickens don't really
*need* legs either. Heck, they just sit in a cage all day anyway.
Voila! drumsticks!
Chickens are not the only animals that can do fine w/o certain body
parts. Domestic turkeys don't need wings either. Pigs should be
able to get along fine w/ one peg leg. Can you say "HAM"???? The
ears on
pigs, cattle, sheep, etc. are completely superfluous in an
environment where there are humans to protect them from predators.
Tails too can
be bobbed to make fine soup bones. Believe it or not, liver tissue
grows back if a portion of it is
surgically removed. Mmmmm, liver and onions.
Amputarianism, remember, you heard it here first.

Well, if that's what you reckon then that's fine. I've been vegan for
about 16 years and I definitely remember that I used to enjoy the
taste of meat and I also think that I enjoy my food now about as much
as I used to before I became vegan. And I also believe that by being
vegan I'm reducing my expected contribution to animal suffering.

But you may find it unlikely that you would enjoy food and/or you may
not find the consideration about animal suffering to be compelling.
Which is of course your choice, I have no interest in trying to get
you to change your mind.

A farmer walks into a bar with a three-legged pig. The bartender
asks, "How come that pig's missing a leg?"

"Well," says the farmer, "there was a big fire. My house burned

This isn't true. Just about everyone enjoys some food which is
suitable for vegans. And a significant majority of those people are
healthy. Furthermore a significant majority of those who consume an
exclusively vegan diet are quite healthy. The American Dietetic
Association has endorsed the position that appropriately-planned vegan
diets are nutritionally adequate at all stages of life, and carry many
significant health benefits.

I was talking about vegans. While technically you and the ADD are
correct, it's like claiming unicorn farts are part of your diet. Show
me the vegan who can appropriate plan a diet at all stages of life,
and I'll show you a unicorn because people need meat and dairy.

I know plenty of vegans who have well-planned diets and are perfectly

diet as an omnivorous one. Your opinions about vegans are just not

Rupert, how do you explain our canine eye teeth? Are they for ripping
apart carrots? No, they are for ripping apart animal flesh. We are
meat eaters. To force a child against the very human nature they
are born with is child abuse of a sort. It's like the disgusting
news stories of parents tatooing thier children becuase the parent
happens to be into tattoos. It's that same selfish and narrow-minded
idea of forcing adult choices on a child.

We have canine eye teeth because we have an evolutionary kinship with
carnivorous species. We are capable of thriving on both omnivorous and
vegetarian diets, like our primate ancestors. I've provided you with
the position of the American Dietetic Association, which you can
easily find on Google, and the opinions of two doctors with whom I
have discussed the matter, both of whom have degrees in medicine and
no kind of ideological animal-rights agenda. Also my experiences as a
vegan and many vegan friends of mine. There might be some evidence
that goes the other way, but you have yet to provide it. It is not
child abuse to bring up a child as a vegan; it's perfectly safe for
the child and the child can make its own decisions when it gets older.
As I say, your opinions are ill-founded prejudices.

The assertion is false. The person does not provide any citations of
studies that support his point of view. In fact there is no credible
scientific evidence that plants are capable of feeling pain, and no
sane person would seriously claim that they are in any context other
than trying to irritate a vegetarian. If you saw someone applying a
blowtorch to a stray dog, you would call the police, but you wouldn't
make any effort to intervene if you saw someone mowing their lawn.

Not directly, no, but you are giving financial incentives to an
industry which inflicts considerable suffering and premature death on
a large number of cows. Dairy cows are killed when they outlive their
usefulness, and their calves are used in the veal industry, which
confines them in small crates too small for them to turn around and
deliberately keeps them anemic so that their flesh will be pale and
soft.

I have no idea what you are babbling on about. By becoming a vegan I
have reduced my contribution to global warming, this is a well-
established fact. Any carbon footprint calculator will ask you "are
you a vegan", and the government of Britain agreed that it would be a
good idea to try to persuade people to reduce their meat consumption
in an effort to combat global warming.

I think there's pretty overwhelming evidence that the production of my
food causes less premature death and suffering of conscious creatures
and environmental harm than that of the diet of a typical omnivore,
but if you think otherwise then maybe you could make some kind of
respectable effort at actually making your case. As far as I can tell
you are making your assertions in complete ignorance and absence of
any actual data.

I also don't really know why you feel compelled to argue this point
with me; you seem to be in some way threatened by what I have chosen
to do. I'm not making any attempt to change your behaviour, I'm simply
trying to clear up misconceptions about veganism being unhealthy and
to explain the rationale for what I do. Your hostility and ill-founded
attempts to cast moral aspersions strike me as irrational.

Plants use CO2 - in case you didn't know. You eat plants. Therefore
you are helping to increase the amount of CO2 in the air.

Empirical data points the other way. One theory I've heard is the lack
of meat in their diet concentrates flavors.

When I tell that joke, I really stretch it out with a lot of details.
The punch line is something like, "You city fellers don't know much
about animals, do ya? If ya had a pig that was that good, you
wouldn't et 'im all at once now, wouldja?"

Yes, I've heard (and told) a longer, more drawn-out version of it, but I
wasn't going to key it up from memory, and that was the first version I
found on-line.

The only ethical diet is fruit-only. If you eat a carrot, or broccoli,
or cauliflower, that plant's life is over, and you are a premeditated
murderer. But you can pick apples, or peaches, or even beans, peppers,
and tomatoes, without killing the plant.

It was an attempt at humour Rupert, lame, I know..

While I have your attention, do you know of any good layman's text on
randomness? I have been curious about the nature of randomness and it's
appearance to the human mind for a long time. I take from own experience
playing cards that luck appears to be noticeably clumpy rather than
following something that I would perceive as random. For example when
playing Rubber Bridge it seems most often the case that one player or
team will be dealt good cards more or less continuously over a whole
evening more often than the luck swinging back and forth from player to
player or team to team. In poker streaks of good and bad luck take place
over quite long periods, sometimes months, that seems counter-intuitive
to me. Also, in almost every hold'em poker tournament I play in there is
one wild player who wins hand after hand after hand despite having the
odds against him in almost every case. Despite my belief that
superstition should play no role in gambling, I feel like I want to to
avoid going against such a player even when the odds are in my favour.
So far my only conclusion is that human intuition simply doesn't apply,
and randomness is inexplicable.

what about if the plant is dying, like at the end of the growing

Don't you mean its *lack* of appearance to the human mind? In fact,
humans are notorious for imagining they see repeating non-random
patterns when in fact there are none.

I mean how it is perceived by the human mind.

I agree. The deal of cards is random, I recognize that.

I actually don't expect to come away with anything more than random is
random, therefore beyond human comprehension, futile to think about it,
certainly do not base decisions on any perceived "patterns". I still
find it interesting though. I play online poker and the streaky nature
of it always amazes me.

Veganism is more than just concern about health and diet. Vegans try to
avoid using any products which contribute to the lives and deaths of livestock
animals and only want to contribute to things which cause death to wildlife.

· Vegans contribute to the deaths of animals by their use of
wood and paper products, electricity, roads and all types of
buildings, their own diet, etc... just as everyone else does.
What they try to avoid are products which provide life
(and death) for farm animals, but even then they would have
to avoid the following items containing animal by-products
in order to be successful:

tires, paper, upholstery, floor waxes, glass, water
filters, rubber, fertilizer, antifreeze, ceramics, insecticides,
insulation, linoleum, plastic, textiles, blood factors, collagen,
heparin, insulin, solvents, biodegradable detergents, herbicides,
gelatin capsules, adhesive tape, laminated wood products,
plywood, paneling, wallpaper and wallpaper paste, cellophane
wrap and tape, abrasives, steel ball bearings

The meat industry provides life for the animals that it
slaughters, and the animals live and die as a result of it
as animals do in other habitats. They also depend on it for
their lives as animals do in other habitats. If people consume
animal products from animals they think are raised in decent
ways, they will be promoting life for more such animals in the
future. People who want to contribute to decent lives for
livestock with their lifestyle must do it by being conscientious
consumers of animal products, because they can not do it by
being vegan.
From the life and death of a thousand pound grass raised
steer and whatever he happens to kill during his life, people
get over 500 pounds of human consumable meat...that's well
over 500 servings of meat. From a grass raised dairy cow people
get thousands of dairy servings. Due to the influence of farm
machinery, and *icides, and in the case of rice the flooding and
draining of fields, one serving of soy or rice based product is
likely to involve more animal deaths than hundreds of servings
derived from grass raised animals. Grass raised animal products
contribute to fewer wildlife deaths, better wildlife habitat, and
better lives for livestock than soy or rice products. ·

You don't contribute to any decent lives for livestock, but only to the
deaths of wildlife. Hopefully he knows that much at least.

The only way it could not is if there are no wildlife in the area where the
grain is grown. Of course with rice it's not a question due to the flooding and
draining in addition to all the machinery and chemical deaths.

Then why didn't you begin contributing to decent lives for cattle by buying
grass raise beef and dairy products instead of not contributing to anything
other than the deaths of wildlife?

>and I also think that I enjoy my food now about as much

It depends how a person does it. I feel certain there are vegans who buy
rice milk when even regular cow milk almost certainly involves fewer deaths, and
grass raised dairy undoubtedly does.

>But you may find it unlikely that you would enjoy food and/or you may
>not find the consideration about animal suffering to be compelling.

I told a guy about the difference between cage free and battery farmed eggs
and he started buying cage free. So he's doing something while veganism does
nothing. Vegans help livestock like dead people help livestock, while at the
same time still contributing to the deaths of wildlife that most people do.

It appears that this is yet another challenge the Goober can't even pretend
to try to meet. You can apparently defeat him with it every time you present him

There is no reason to "contribute" to livestock animals "getting to
