I shouldn't read the internet so soon after waking. It only pisses me off.

Fuck that vegan moral superiority bullshit. There's something delightfully evil about knowing that in order to sustain large crops of grains you end up with a lot of dead field mice. Oh, I am so going to use that line on the next self righteous vegan who tries to make me feel guilty for eating meat.

Thankfully my friends who are vegetarian/vegan/whatever who are not militant about their choices and don't feel the need to run around trying to guilt others into adopting their behaviour. I will kindly eat their share of the world's meat so they won't have to. Everyone wins!

I don't know squat about raising cows, but my impression is that most cows are fed at least some grain (grown in traditional mouse-cidal ways), even ones on large ranches. I'd be curious to see what percentage of the cows we eat are raised completely without human-grown supplements to their diet (grain, hay, etc) but are totally pasture-fed.

Not that I'm veggie; I'm apparently what the accursed marketing guys call a 'flexitarian', which is to vegetarians what metrosexual is to queers I guess. I tend to eat veggie more often than not. I still like a good MLT when the mutton is nice and lean, though, on occasion.
