hilary wright Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 ["Yeah I agree entirely, I've often made the same alien analogy to people who say that "we're more intelligent / powerful than animals, therefore it's up to us what we do with them". Clearly it's a ridiculous point of view to have, and shows that person's lack of compassion and total selfishness Let's not forget some other wonderful adjectives: arrogant, ego-centric, delusional . . . it's absolutely BRILLIANT to eat scorched, decaying dead animal flesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veggieprincess Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Over the past 26 years, I have fielded many questions about my diet and food choices. I am including the most common questions here . . .1) Are you going to try to convert us?> No, I have no interest in trying to convert anyone. Nor will I try to get> you to join a magic drumming circle, start chanting, or consulting the> Mighty Kabourka about your future.> 2) Don't you miss eating meat?> No. As a somewhat grownup person, if I missed it, I would start eating> it. 3) So, you don't eat meat . . . is there something wrong with it?> I have no idea . . . is there?> 4) So, you don't eat meat . . . what's wrong with you?> Many things, perhaps that's why I'm a vegetarian?> 5) Doesn't being a vegetarian make you weak?> Yes, but the strength of my gas is weapons-grade (just ask my poor wife).> 6) How do you know you are getting enough protein?> I consult the Mighty Kabourka while chanting at my majic drumming circle.> (see answer 1)> 7) So, do you just go outside and graze on the lawn?> I think that's just the Canadians.> I know you are just dying for some of my triple bacon cheeseburger,> aren't you? Honestly, I'm not, but I am happy to share my raw tofu juice> with mung bean mold and mushroom fungus with you. What I absolutely love is that you've been Vegan as long as you have but you seem to keep your sense of humor about it.... That's awesome!!!!! My sense of humor.... and finding it in others truly keeps me sane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilary wright Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 Thank you VP!! People like you and this site keep me sane (in my own strange way) and my humor intact!Touring small town, midwest and Southwest USA in the early and mid 80s as a Vegan helped me get very Zen about any hostility and negativity. Farmers who raised beef cattle did not take kindly to a man named Hilary who shunned meat and dairy products . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
