Because Vegans insist that I am ethically wrong for eating meat. And
they back groups like PETA that do public events to convince my
children that I am wrong and they are right, both in terms of nutrition
and in terms of ethics. And I resent the hell out of that.
It is important for vegans and vegan-wannabees to understand clearly
that there is no ethical question about harvesting animals for food. It
is what we are and what we do.
It is important for vegans and vegan-wannabees to understand that
nutritionally speaking, veganisn is an incomplete diet deficient in
many nutrients. It is not healthier than a diet with meat in it.
These are the facts and to pretend otherwise is only to cause people
nutritional amd health d
damage.
And I am exercising my freedom of speech on a public forum which is
also my right.

Not a troll. Think of me as a font of wisdom. You can partake of my
wisdom or ignore it. Your choice. You've been ignoring reality for 45
years, there is nothing stopping you from ignoring my wisdom here for
as long as you wish.
Your choice.
