Tofurkey?
ALL of my seven sisters have become veggie nut cases although
fortunately their kids have not succumbed. So, I was naturally skeptical to see a vague meat-looking waaaaay too symmetrical blob covered with gravy and dressing at Thanksgiving AND, there was an identical one next to it. Yeah, sorta meat-like texture but no internal structure. I just had to ask, Yup, it was Tofurkey and to be nice I had to take some. If you smothered it with enough gravy and had a few drinks, MAYBE you could accept it. Fortunately, my brother had made some smoked turkey and brother in law made some smoked mullet. |

I have never ever met a vegetarian who was NOT a nutcase. If this is so good for you, why is it that the practitioners of it are so agressively adamant about it? It seems to radically change their internal chemistry, and dominoes into their personality. Some of these people who you would think eat nuts and berries turn into people with the personality of grizzly bears. Just MHO, YMMV Steve |

I went without eating beef for 15 years, not because of my health but because of the perversity of supporting a system that plunders our country's resources. Vegetarians, in my experience, are more likely to be aware of their own health and the health of the environment. No wonder the Bigot Steve doesn't understand them. |

If you are worried about how chickens feel then give em all lobotomies or breed em to not be concious, problem solved. For that matter, I see no reason why chickens should have feathers these days. For the chicken wing industry, why not genetically manipulate them to have 8 wings apiece. If you are worried about how veal calfs feel, then put a vid screen in their stalls so thye think they are running in fields of clover or give them electroshock to destroy all higher brain functions. The future of meat is some sort of mass production that would be far from the idiocy of Bessy the cow or Henrietta the chicken. Meat will be produced from modified zero-conciousness life forms, sorta like a meat vegetable, you know, like liberals. |

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 http://www.disclose.tv/action/viewvi...eet_your_Meat/ 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.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Where did I say anything political? Gosh, perhaps I misinterpreted this line you wrote earlier: "Seems as though you wingnuts instantly brand *someone that doesn't live your exact lifestyle as nutcases or some *such." Usually you use the term 'wingnuts' when you're referring to conservatives, i.e. 'right wingers' (as opposed to 'wrong wingers', I guess). I suppose you're using the term 'wingnuts' to refer to anyone who isn't a 'veggan' or other non-meat eater? -- John H- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I'm referring to a wingnut as what it is: From the Online Slang Dictionary: wingnut •someone lacking in mental abilities, uneducated, rather than mentally handicapped. he's a a real wingnut! From Merriam Webster: Main Entry: wing nut Function: noun Date: circa 1900 1 : a nut with wings that provide a grip for the thumb and finger 2 slang : a mentally deranged person 3 slang : one who advocates extreme measures or changes : radical So, the question would be asked, why are YOU making this political? Oh wow, I didn't even know such a dictionary existed. I must apologize then for thinking that you were turning an informative post into a political statement. You were actually just 'name-calling', like Harry does all the time. Sorry, I should have known that you weren't saying anything political. -- Apology accepted. Don't you think it would be appropriate for you to apologize for your name-calling? :) -- John H |

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"!
