More proselytizing by animal rights activists. Every day some news about them calling us omnivores 'meat addicts' and telling us 'Meat is Murder' and that there is a 'Holocaust on our Plates'!
I've had enough. Give me a steak!
No wonder why sites like this are popping up all over the place:
http://www.vegetariansareevil.com
There is even a group on Google!
Awesome! This sounds like a good time. I'm going vegetarian and I happy to see this. I ordered that same vegetarian starter kit from GoVeg.com. That's awesome!
Well how nice of them to have compassion on pigs.
So to please PETA for the year of the pig, we'll eliminate pork: we'll eat dog stew instead;-)
Seriously, the problem with the Manila elites is obesity, but up here in the poor rural areas, it is protein malnutrition.
The main protein source is fish. Meat is mainly for rich people and for fiestas.Milk is not used (most cows milk is imported, and caribou milk expensive). Soy is not a traditional food, and lentils are not widely eaten.
With widespread malnutrition in the poor, I wonder about the priorities of rich PETA protests that worry about stupid pigs and don't care about poor children.
But I guess they don't care because the children aren't rich white people.
