Fortunately, my brother had made some smoked turkey and brother in law
made some smoked mullet.

Why would someone be branded a "nut case" because they've decided on a
healthier lifestyle? Seems as though you wingnuts instantly brand
someone that doesn't live your exact lifestyle as nutcases or some
such. Why is that?
And I LOVE smoked mullet.

It's not so much being the veggie head that makes them "nut cases". It's
the other aspects of their personalities that seems to go along with
that lifestyle, at least up here in the North

I had a friend that was a vegatarian. It was just crazy in her mid
thirties hearing her try to tell us that "no animal in the world really
eats meat, only us". What I said? What about Lions I asked? She
explained to me that Lions don't eat meat, "they rip open the animals
and only eat the stomach contents of grass and stuff"! That was about
when I admitted I was an animal and a terrible person for eating meat,
and went on with it...- Hide quoted text -

Most vegetarians aren't concerned with whether animals in the wild eat
meat or not. Most are concerned with human consumption gone wild. What
we have in this country now days is NOTHING short of animal factories.
I've seen it first hand. Animals aren't treated with any regard to
pain, living conditions or anything short of getting them fattened up
and ready for sale. There is also the aspect about what those huge
farms are doing to the environment, let alone eating diseased
animals.
Isn't this a lovely sight:http://www.goveg.com/factoryFarming_cows.asp

I really doubt that if there is a God, he'd want us treating his
creatures like this.

Loogy, why jump on this as a political thing? I have a niece who is a
veggan. She's also a conservative. She's also weird, which she wasn't
until she started the veggan stuff. Nothing political about it.

One of my sisters started telling me about how chickens do not have
room to even stand up in the chicken factories. I gave her a blank
look and then replied, "This is 2009, why do chickens still have feet,
we have no use for chicken feet". She says, "What, you expect them to
fly all the time?" After some consideration, I said, "Yes, we could
implant magnets in the chickens and levitate them, that way the number
of chickens would not be dependent on the area of the chicken factory
but on the volume. There would be a rain of feed from the top and a
conveyor feeding legless chicks from the top. As the chickens grew,
they would sink to the bottom to be carried away, easy engineering
problem. God, chicken feet, what a bizarre idea". She gave me a
horrified look and walked away.

LOL...
