People who believe something strongly SHOULD be "preachy" about it.  Doesn't mean you have to listen.[/quote]

You keep saying that words.  I don't think it means what you think it means.  [/quote]

I'm pretty sure I do know.  But thanks for playing.[/quote]

All available evidence to the contrary . . . [/quote]

Yet you can cite none whatsoever.  Lots of people are vegetarian or vegan.  They do just fine.  It's needless.  Listen, I'm not a vegan.  But I'm not so delusional that I pretend that I HAVE to eat meat or meat products in order to survive.  I eat cheese and eggs because they taste good.  I ate meat for most of my life because I enjoyed it.  But I never needed it for survival or for health.  That's just the truth.[/quote]

What a narrow view - "A human doesn't need meat to survive, therefore the killing of all animals is needless."  Way to lose the forest for the trees.

As our foodways exist now, there is simply no way to feed the entire population of the US a balanced vegan diet.  It doesn't exist, and it would be catastrophic to try.  Could we transition to that?  Sure, I guess, over many, many years.  So by definition, at this moment in time, we *need* to continue eating meat.  [/quote]

You really don't. But, let's say you're right. The problem many vegetarians and vegans have is not necessarily the eating of the meat, per se (though that is the case for many of them). It's the inhuman treatment of the animals -which is true and it's vile- and the unsanitary conditions they live it. Those conditions are a major source of pollution, water contamination, and antibiotic resistance. That people continue to eat meat on the scale they do, knowing these things, shows how lazy people are. If they spent 5 minutes educating themselves about it, they would be repulsed. As it stands, the slovenly Americans just continue to choke down burger after burger without a second thought. [/quote]

All of that may be true.  In fact, much of it is (although you appear to be confused about the definition of slovenly).  But not of it has anything to do with "needless."  So, thanks for your contribution?  [/quote]

You're a real dick.  Just pointing that out as part of my contribution.[/quote]

Compelling retort.  You are a credit to your parent, and to whatever educational institutions you attended.  [/quote]
