Let me be state a minority view here: I can appreciate those who choose not to eat animals. Just because we shoot guns doesn't mean we all shoot and eat what we kill. A lot of us here still go to the market for meat. And a lot of us might be better off cutting back on meat and protein in general, and begin to try new variety in food choices. This phony idea that real men eat meat is such cultural hog wash (no pun intended)with so many people clueless about nutrition on one hand and ignorant of the part our upbringing has on diet on the other. Don't believe me?? look at all the different peoples in the world and compare diets. Americans are not so smart that they have the best food either, what is it anyway, burgers and fries with a coke? I eat meat but very little. I think hunting is fine,too. I don't have a problem with vegetarians nor would I question their manlihood, or their strength as humans. Fellas, don't be vegaphobes!

I would agree that maybe we shouldn't eat as much meat as we do but what happend to a guy in France is a lesson for all of us. He was a total Vegan, absolutely NO animal protien at all not even eggs or milk. Had been this way for over 20 yrs when he went blind. because of his diet he suffered from a severe B12 deficiancy which caused his eyes to stop functioning, damaged beyond repair.

Mordwyn.45,
That is a valid point and one that should be considered. One stupid guy who goes blind is no argument for the millions who gorge on meat products and suffer ill effects. If you disagree with vegetarianism try not to use a single anecdotal case to try to show how it is wrong in your view. Seems to me there are millions of healthy Buddhists not eating meat.

Guys, the STOP sign I saw was not vandalized. The lettering was printed by the traffic department (or whoever).
That is what astounded me so much. It was a bonified STOP sign - purposely printed with that rediculous message.

I'd comment on this, but I gotta go dig the pit for the hog roast on Sunday.

I saw some of those stop signs a couple of weeks ago when I made a trip to Seattle. I looked closely, and what they had done was made some red bumper stickers that said "eating animals" in white lettering. Then the wackos snuck around and placed the stickers under the "STOP" on the stop signs. At a glance it looks like its all part of the original sign.
I'm getting hungry....for some MEAT!

I used to work for this marketing director who LOVED to use this (true) story:
This woman had just graduated from an Ivy-League school with an MBA (I think) in marketing. Her first job was to set up the annual cattle rancher's convention. Very big deal. SHe decides, "Boy, I'll bet these cattle ranchers are really sick of eating steak all the time!"
So, for the big dinner, she arranges to serve.....CHICKEN!!!!
DOH!

Cindy, isn't it amazing how all that 'higher learning' sometimes shoves all the common sense right out the ears?
