You quoted part of an article missing out quote an important point

And again in English?

Young age is relative to the normal lifespan you dimwit.

What's a normal lifespan? Eskimos traditionally live to relatively old ages in a very harsh environment without access to modern medicine.

Thought I would catch some flack just for choosing to be a vegan, funny all the puppets defending the meat/dairy industry who are slowly killing them for a fat profit.

I have become a vegan, there are a number of reasons, not wanting to participate in animal cruelty, we are not meant to eat meat, health. Anyone else?

I will say the same thing to you as I have said to every Vegan I have ever met:

How many Cows, Chickens and sheep will you be adopting as pets?

Nearly all the meat that is consumed within the food chain, is some form of farmed specially bred animal that cannot be set loose. and I know of no farmers that want to bread and feed a bull because its cute... Oddly enough the very thing that most Vegans wish to see (an end to the breading of animals for resources) would end in the mass slaughter or eradication of entire species. I have a lot of time for those who have campaigned for the good treatment of animals and better standards, but living in the middle of Somerset and being able to source my meat from High welfare butchers like Ruby and Marble I see nothing wrong with breeding an animal well, giving it a good standard of living, and finally dispatching it with dignity and as humanly as possible.

Some might argue that compared to having to be starved to death as the only form of ending human life for terminally ill patients. to be faced with a stun gun and a swift exit is a far better death, than most humans will ever experience.

I suggest you find a more worthy band wagon to join.

You're catching flak for saying that it's unnatural for humans to eat meat. Nothing wrong with being vegetarian or vegan, I've had a go at being vegetarian myself

I was a vegan for nine years but it became too difficult when I was working away from home a lot. Take supplements and don't believe any vegan propaganda about nutrition. Absorbable iron is tricky.

The worst think was other vegans who were insufferable ***** who made me want to punch them in the face. I'm sure you will do them proud.

Well done, you've presented an argument which almost makes Russell's seem reasonable.

You aren't catching flack for "choosing to be a vegan". You can eat, or not eat, whatever you like. However to state that "we are not meant to eat meat", which is a statement that quite a lot of people disagree with, and expect no response, is either idiocy or trolling. Or quite possibly both.

Is he a fruitarian?

That's MF. He only eats fruits.

Nearly all the meat that is consumed within the food chain,

Yeah. Better to have lived and been eaten than never to have lived at all*
