Vegan (alt.food.vegan) This newsgroup exists to share ideas and issues of concern among vegans. We are always happy to share our recipes- perhaps especially with omnivores who are simply curious- or even better, accomodating a vegan guest for a meal!

Yes, I believe him. If we all became vegetarians then there will be millions
of farm animals roaming about the place causing havoc. We must keep them in
farms and slaughter them to keep control of their numbers.

What utter rubbish. Obviously the person who wrote this thread is an idiot,
who doesnt realise that the meat industry breeds animals for human
consumption. If we all were to become vegetarians then there will be no meat
industry and thus no farm animals roaming about the place. The world would
be a better place.
