I try to be understanding of others’ choices. In fact, I wrote a whole blog post about this. Sometimes vegans aren’t that nice to each other, either. It’s weird.

Hey Sparky, you certainly seem friendlier than many vegans I met 🙂

Find some more vegans who aren’t militant animal fetishists. Like me.

Yes, I believe that does the environment a greater disservice that eating food that was locally grown.

That is what I sometimes find disturbing in the vegan point of view: that the animal is regarded higher than the human. I know a couple of vegans who would tell to just live with your problem.

I’m now a full-fledged meat eater. I eat everything. And while I still struggle with the ethical stuff regarding eating meat, I feel so much better and healthier eating meat. I wish that the hardcore vegans who do get preachy about it would realize that some of us meat eaters ARE struggling with the ethics of it–it just happens to be the diet that works best for my body.

I really believe that people are entitled to peacefully live the life they choose unless they are directly hurting others.

If there is a creator, everything on the planet would be seen as equal. Perhaps different, but still equal.

I do think, however, that you are content with living this way without feeling superior to anyone due to it.

I eat this way because I feel it is a very healthy way to eat. Over time it has affected my ethical view of the world, for the better I believe.
