Awesome! well written and suitable for forwarding... Thanks for the link! I have said many of these things separately, but not all together & not as well. I think the stereotype of the 'preachy veg*n' is terribly ironic, given how easily meat eaters get defensive/ say 'everyone should eat meat!'
I like this... I think most people enjoy their ignorant "bliss"... They really don't want to think about it or have to change anything about their life, that's the problem
Exactly. "Don't tell me what to eat...however, I can tell you...because you're wrong!"
that is great. i've run in to many defensive meat eaters and they seem to turn it around and think I am defensive, which I really try not to be.
