    In what other aspects of your life do you apply the rationale you use to avoid a Vegan/Vegetarian lifestyle?

    I reject the premise, sorry.

    :::

    I went full vegan for 3 months. Even after the steep nutrition alternative learning curve, I felt terrible—lightheaded, weak and generally unhealthy—I constantly had diarrhea, and my shit was a green, puddinglike consistency whose odor was gargantuan in its offense.

    I eat meat for health reasons. Just not a whole lot of it. Also for health reasons.

    Please love yourself.

      You certainly have a way with words. 😆

        A friend of a friend posted a picture of a fox in England, with a dead cat in its mouth. It was a reaction against people who dislike fox hunting, which has been banned for a while. One of the comments was 'See, foxes aren't nice cuddly animals, they're evil!' which struck me as a particularly stupid anthropomorphism, particularly if you've ever watched a cat play with a mouse.

        Anyway, to digress, I'm with Oscar Wilde regarding British fox hunting - 'The unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable'.

        I was only joking

          Ever kill a cow with a sledgehammer?

          I have.

          Tim wouldn't like me.

                  Will I look like an idiot if I ask who Tim Urban is?

                    Not at all. As near as I can determine he is a 7th place American Idol finalist. In other words, nobody.

                      LOL. That's a different guy entirely.

                          His ‘wait but why’ blog has had some epic entries. We’ve talked about some over the years.

                            Personally, I prefer to be called Tim Urbane. It's like Brown and Browne, but it's important.
