Ask the vegans who crave them. I've been asking them for a couple years and they
won't tell me.

The irony is that more animals are killed in the course of growing soy and wheat
for such products ("tofurkey") than would die if they were to eat one real
turkey. The dead turkey on the table is one animal death. How many mice, rats,
birds, snakes, etc., are killed in planting, applying pesticides to, harvesting,
transporting, and storing soy and wheat? They don't care about all those
animals, they just stuff their pie holes with fake dead turkey and fake hot dogs
and fake burgers and fake jerky and fake sandwich meats on the false assumption
that they're doing something to help animals. They're full of shit.

Not really. Their agenda is pretty obvious, and their realities never match
their rhetoric. It's not about compassion for animals, it's about hatred of
humans. The "animals" are a diversion for their perverse misanthropy. Read back
in the Google archives of this group and see how many "compassionate vegans"
have wished harm upon meat eaters and those who favor animal testing. Maybe Rick
has kept count of all the heart attacks wished upon him. On second thought, he
probably lost track if he ever did that.
