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.

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.
