Vegan

There's only one solution to the ethical dilemma.

Anything living usually wants to stay that way. We can't help the ones that never lived because vegetarians didn't give them a chance.

Lots more things will have lived in place of the farmed animals. The meat industry uses huge amounts of land for either grazing or crop growing for feed or just to house the animals.
All of that extra space used to raise the livestock could be turned back over to nature and lots of wild animals could live there instead.

Meat doesn't rot in the gut. It passes out quite quickly. Not as quickly as syrup of figs, but nonetheless well before it starts to rot. Unless you're eating a particularly gamey bird.

So, badgers and pigs aren't supposed to eat meat?

Live long and prosper.

I ate a gamey bird once, Tracey her name was. She wasnt a Vegan either

In mho, Vegans and veggies are like Christians, they are welcome to thier beliefs and practices, as long as they keep it to themselves. I wonder if Russell would eat an animal that died of old age, or was killed by a car. Loads of animals eat meat without killing it
maybe Russell could be a maggot or something

Consider the the meat you have eaten was raised on plants etc Don't filter your nutrients through another animal go to the source.

Quite a lot of stuff is synthesized in other parts of the food chain and we can't do that synthesis from raw ingredients ourselves. Vitamin B12 is probably the most relevant example but also we also have quite limited capacity to synthesise long chain omega-3 (EPA and DHA) from the stuff that is found in plants.

Doesn't being a vegan lead to rather a problem 'keeping it to yourself', especially noticeable in enclosed spaces?

We have , Vegans, veggies and Christians in our family. To be honest, all of them are up for a Gold in the '40m hurdles farting relay' this summer.
I think the EO gene has a highly developed RNA fart double helix

Had missed this quote.

Just to point out that Barry Gibb died of the same illness as my mother, despite years of being a tee total Vegen. Her benefit was that she lived to be 72 and despite being overweight for all of my life she was healthy and free of illness up until the final year. Your bell will toll regardless of what ever health regime you pick.

Have you ever hear of Science? Two people one of who you barley know anything about is not enough to base any decision on.

[bless 'em all]

A vegan would expect you to cook a nut-roast (or some other pap) for them, if you invited them to dinner. But they wouldn't cook you a steak on the return visit.

Have you ever heard of Science?

While you've clearly heard of science, your responses so far haven't really yielded any evidence that you understand it at all.
