The older I get, the more I am leaning towards becoming a vegetarian.
Not for any health reasons but it seems so hypocritical of me to care
as much about animals as I do and then consume them.

Where is the hypocrisy in that? I don't see it.

You never were blessed with intelligence, perhaps stunted growth also
stunted your mental ability?

Not directly, but more likely that something else was the cause of both. The
end result is the same.

On the other hand, so-called "ethical vegetarianism" is
fundamentally hypocritical. The reason is that animals
are killed gruesomely and in large numbers in the
course of growing, storing and distributing vegetables,

That's because it's a lie. You are deliberately confusing the odd
accident, with the deliberate slaughter of animals to produce food. It
simply doesn't happen in vegetable production, whereas in meat
production there is no dispute.

What he and the others won't admit to is that beef cattle are very poor
converters of grain and fresh water to meat. Many times more people could be
fed directly with an equivalent amount of crops and with proportionally
fewer collareral animal casualties per capita.

The conclusion clearly does not follow: "vegans"
cause, through their demand for fruit and vegetables,
the suffering and death of animals. They merely don't
eat any of the animals.

Nonsense no nuts.

Isn't it about time for you to do a quick change into usual suspect to
support yourself?

No, they are different people but equal in sanctimony.

snip you're a
liar and a troll and no one is on your side, except for your sock
puppets.

How true...
