[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had this conversation years ago. In high school, a girl who was a vegetarian (a pushy one) wanted to know how I justified wearing the suede shorts that were popular at the time. While she was wearing leather shoes. I asked her if she thought my shorts and her shoes came from a different cow. She tried to justify the shoes saying it was hard finding quality non-leather shoes. It was bullshit then and it’s bullshit now.

Same with the car seats. I’m not saying you shouldn’t have accepted the car, but…either you believe in not using/consuming animal products or you don’t. If that means you need to replace your shoes more often, then that is what it means. Not “I wear leather shoes because it works better for me but we shouldn’t eat meat”.[/quote]

People go vegetarian for different reasons—health, the much lower environmental impact, or ethical reasons such as they don’t want to kill animals. Only in the last case, and [b]with veganism, is it really all or nothing. [/b] [/quote]

Luckily for them, you are not the vegan police. [/quote]

Lol, I’m transitioning to vegetarianism, so no, I’m not the vegan police. Just trying to figure it all out. This was from one of the books l’m reading. I was trying to open the tent a bit, and I have to say I find smug folks like you a little off-putting. [/quote]
