You just keep repeating yours over and over, and hold a bitter grudge against those who have open minds. You college types have no natural awareness of what's going on around you, sometimes. -- Dreck, Claire's uncle, http://tinyurl.com/54zxm |

You're a weak-willed nebbish, easily taken in by the lies and disinformation spread by the pushers here who coerced you into taking their substances. In these quotes below you state that you dislike flesh, so how does learning from your mistakes suddenly change your tastes for food items? You also state that you believe the consumption of meat, dairy and eggs are bad for you, animals, your environment, and the whole World, but you sing a different tune now you've become a meat pusher, so how did learning from mistakes do that, pusher? <restore> "I dislike flesh, though my reasons for being vegan are overwhelmingly health-oriented: I want to live a long, healthy life, and I think the consumption of meat, dairy, and eggs is bad for me, animals, my environment, and the whole world. Is that first part selfish? Perhaps to some people. Do the other, more selfless consequences of my diet (no animal must die for my nourishment or enjoyment, less pollution and less harm to the environment, etc.) mitigate the selfish notion of wanting to live long and without serious health problems associated with an animal-based diet?" usual suspect Date: 2002-09-09 and "Veganism costs less regardless of socio-economic environs. Indeed, lesser well-off people are far more likely to subsist on vegetarian diets; meat and dairy are a product of 'advanced' society. It costs more to produce dairy, beef, poultry, pork than grains, vegetables, legumes; indeed, you must first raise the latter to fatten the former. Skip the former entirely and you have much more of the latter to feed the world." usual suspect Date: 2002-12-26 Those quotes belie your current pusher's position, and no amount of regret will ever undo the hypocrisy of it.

That's why you're still a closed-minded vegan, fatso, despite all the evidence that your "diet" contributes to the very problem it's supposed to solve. |

Rather than lash out like a hurt child, call me silly names and delete the evidence which proves you've lied, explain how "learning from your own mistakes" changed your tastes for certain foods. In these quotes below you state that you dislike flesh, so how does learning from your mistakes suddenly change your tastes for food items?

I'd noted that I would probably resume eating fish -- much to the outrage of both Lesley and Zakhar -- in posts from that same era. |

You've claimed that your change in stance was because you learned something from your mistakes, yet part of this change seems to have altered your taste for certain foods as well, so it's clear you're not telling the truth about this alleged learning from your mistakes because learning from one's mistakes cannot change one's taste in food as well.

I'd already noted in afv, aaev, and tpa that I'd probably consume fish again. Other than the fish I ate last week, my diet is virtually unchanged. I consume dairy only when my girlfriend cooks something with it (non-fat yogurt or skim milk), and I've had processed foods (e.g., fake Italian sausage) with egg whites maybe three times in the last year. > so it's clear you're The only thing that's clear is you cannot get past shit-stirring. |

How odd? It's usually meat eaters who are involved in the killing of animals and collateral deaths associated with a vegan diet. Those of use who eat meat are just plain bad. |
