Vegans shouldn't have sex with meat eaters?

Jul 31, 2007 02:46

There's a group in New Zealand vegans shunning vegans who have relations with meat eaters.

Do you think this is taking Veganism to an extreme?

I think it does. You can't be 100% vegan. It's only something you try to achieve, but so many everyday products we use are not vegan. I'm sure we're familiar with cars and junk ( Read more... )

I was making a joke about being hyperaware of the good and bad aspects of food.

You should have wrote a few more pages that also included some research [ect.]

Are you serious? Do you think you're that much more educated than me about the subject? I can't believe you're assuming what I didn't include.

I'm not trying to argue the "rightness" of either of our diets. I have nothing against veganism. You, though, seem pretty sure that your "questioning society, culture, and mores" and focus on the "cumulative good and bad aspects of a food" - you're a number cruncher - doesn't come off as a huge lack of perspective on food in general. It's the same kind of algebraic perception of food that the "average American" has. You aren't any more informed than they are; it's just two sides of the same coin.

Sure and then folks realized they were getting ill from it and parasites were living in their guts ( ... )

Ah, the arrogance and ignorance of youth.... I am qualified to *grade* your 20 page paper on oxalic acid. It's not difficult to deduce you have but a fledgling's knowledge on this subject. Anyone with substantial knowledge would know right away a 20 page natural science paper is shoddy material for constructing an intellectual cod-piece; it's rather transparent. You also didn't say you did included that information after it was queried. You learn a lot about what a person knows by what they don't say.
