Skanky Carpetmuncher did not know about animal
collateral deaths in agricultu At first I didn't know ***about cds***... Skanky Carpetmuncher - 13 Dec 2004 She did not know that cute, furry little mammals are chopped to bits in the course of producing the foods she eats. This didn't stop her believing that by not eating meat, she was thereby causing ZERO harm to animals. She believed it. By believing it, she thereby proved that "vegans" begin, in their ignorance, by believing in a logical fallacy. "veganism" is founded on a logical fallacy. |

My conclusions both before and after learning of cds are the same.

By believing it, she thereby proved that "vegans" begin, in their ignorance, by believing in a logical fallacy. "veganism" is founded on a logical fallacy. It doesn't matter how a vegan begins. It most certainly DOES matter! I now know about cds And aren't doing anything to stop causing them, despite your belief that killing animals is wrong. and have concluded that there are far, far less of them in a vegan diet. No good. This is where the more shocking example of sodomizing children with broomhandles is instructive. You cannot claim to be "more moral" than someone who sodomizes children with a broomstick every day merely because you only sodomize children with a broomstick every other day. Similarly, you cannot claim to be "doing better" than others in terms of how many animals you cause to die merely because you cause fewer to die than they do. If causing animals to die is wrong, it is absolutely wrong, and you must cause NO animals to die before you claim to be doing "better". How many times must I remind you of this? How many times must I demonstrate to you that you are NOT "doing better"? |

If causing animals to die is wrong, it is absolutely wrong, and you must cause NO animals to die before you claim to be doing "better". Nonsense. I'll be the judge of whether I'm doing better or not. Note that I said better, not best. You'd have an argument if I had said best and not better, but I didn't so you don't. How many times must I remind you of this? How many times must I demonstrate to you that you are NOT "doing better"? I am too, and there's nothing you can do or say to stop that. -- SN http://www.scentednectar.com/veg/ A huge directory listing over 700 veg recipe sites. Has a fun 'Jump to a Random Link' button. |

You cannot claim to be "more moral" than someone who sodomizes children with a broomstick every day merely because you only sodomize children with a broomstick every other day. I've told you before that I will not discuss with you your appalling lack of moral consistency and followthrough. Yes, you have clearly told me that before. It's regrettable. Similarly, you cannot claim to be "doing better" than others in terms of how many animals you cause to die merely because you cause fewer to die than they do. If causing animals to die is wrong, it is absolutely wrong, and you must cause NO animals to die before you claim to be doing "better". Nonsense. No, moral consistency. I'll be the judge of whether I'm doing better or not. No, you will NOT be. You get to set the standard; others get to judge how well you meet the standard. Your standard is zero deaths, even though you want it to be weaker than that. Your standard is zero deaths because you believe killing animals to be WRONG. Note that I said better, not best. You'd have an argument if I had said best and not better, but I didn't so you don't. You said zero deaths. You KNOW you said it, because THAT'S WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD ACHIEVED prior to learning about CDs. You thought that by not eating meat, you were causing zero deaths, and ZERO DEATHS was your goal. You cannot now revise your goal, unless you explain the moral thinking that led to the revision. You cannot explain it. That's what I mean about your position being incoherent. How many times must I remind you of this? How many times must I demonstrate to you that you are NOT "doing better"? I am too You are NOT. You are still causing animals to die, even though you claim causing animals to die is wrong. You are not doing "better" until you STOP causing animals to die. A child sodomizer is not "doing better" merely by doing less of it; he must STOP doing it, altogether. |

I'll be the judge of whether I'm doing
better or not. No, you will NOT be. You get to set the standard; others get to judge how well you meet the standard. Your standard is zero deaths, even though you want it to be weaker than that. Your standard is zero deaths because you believe killing animals to be WRONG. My standard (now that I know about cds) is the fewest deaths possible. It's me who gets to say what my standards are, not you. And it's me who gets to judge myself as to how well I'm doing. Note that I said better, not best. You'd have an argument if I had said best and not better, but I didn't so you don't. You said zero deaths. You KNOW you said it, because THAT'S WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD ACHIEVED prior to learning about CDs. You thought that by not eating meat, you were causing zero deaths, and ZERO DEATHS was your goal. You cannot now revise your goal, unless you explain the moral thinking that led to the revision. You cannot explain it. That's what I mean about your position being incoherent. Don't you get it? I can revise my goal any time I want such as recently based on new information. You don't want to accept that, but tough. That's how it is. I owe you no explanation, especially since you're biased against ANYTHING a vegan might do or say. So quit dwelling on what I USED to think, unless of course you can't find any argument against my current views. Maybe that's what's happening. -- SN http://www.scentednectar.com/veg/ A huge directory listing over 700 veg recipe sites. Has a fun 'Jump to a Random Link' button. |

Just because something contains no meat doesn't mean it's inherently healthier for you. It can be patently unhealthy, especially over the long run. You should learn a lot more about nutrition before you make such generalizations. |

You're taking an exception to it on personal or defensive grounds.

Patting yourself on the back via your subjective standards is a bit tawdry and has nothing to do with being moral or more ethical. How many times must I remind you of this? How many times must I demonstrate to you that you are NOT "doing better"? I am too, No. and there's nothing you can do or say to stop that. At least you realize you're close-minded. |

You should learn a lot more about nutrition before you make such generalizations. I've been studying nutrition since 1977, when I was rooming with a couple of vegetarian 7th Day Adventists. I never joined their religion, but the food intrigued me, and I've been researching ever since. My conclusion is that being vegan is better healthwise than being a meat eater. Disagree all you want. No one's shoving any tofu down your throat. -- SN http://www.scentednectar.com/veg/ A huge directory listing over 700 veg recipe sites. Has a fun 'Jump to a Random Link' button. |

I've been studying nutrition since 1977, when I was rooming with a couple of vegetarian 7th Day Adventists. That's not studying, that's sharing anecdotes. I never joined their religion, but the food intrigued me, and I've been researching ever since. You've done *no* research. You've willfully only sought out information which supports you, and mainly using activist sources rather than valid objective sources. My conclusion is that being vegan is better healthwise than being a meat eater. Your "conclusion" isn't well-founded, especially since you're generalizing about a nebulous plant-based diet and an equally nebulous meat-included diet. Were your comparison more detailed, you'd only be able to make that claim if you were comparing the best of a vegetarian diet against the worst of a meat diet. You're avoiding dealing with the whole spectrum of both kinds of diets, and accordingly you're failing to note that meat-included diets can be far more healthful and nutritious than an unplanned or poorly-planned vegetarian diet -- particularly given the fact that a vegetarian diet will inherently be malnourishing so far as nutrients like B12, iron, and zinc are concerned. Disagree all you want. I shall! No one's shoving any tofu down your throat. The issue isn't subjective, even though you're inclined to make it subjective. You've reached your position through sloppy, nebulous generalizations rather than sound science and objective data. You've even been careless enough to leave out the qualification that a "well-planned vegetarian diet" can be as healthful as a diet containing meat -- a point which is very highly emphasized by the major nutrition and dietetics organizations. Have you ever asked yourself why so many nutritionists and dieticians eat and recommend lean meats and why so few nutritionists are "vegans"? |
