I think that's a question best answered by the Pastafarians.

I the spirit of Douglas Adams I offer Toadatarianism.
Under my philosophy, farm animals are fulfilling their highest desires by dying to be food. With their limited mental capability, all they can understand is that their entire meaning in life has been to be fatted for the knife. Their kind has been specifically raised for this purpose for so long - centuries, sometimes - that no other meaning matters. In fact, most such beings could not exist in the wild any longer, having been bred to be et. There's no such thing as a wild cow, and the wild turkey doesn't resemble its farm cousin at all. For them not to fulfill their meaning in life is a horrible end... incomprehensible, really. Every time we eat meat we help the farm animals to fulfill their very destiny. It is an act of giving. |

The vegetarians and fruitarians are messing up the food chain, especially the fruitarians. They're going to upset the entire ecological balance of the planet.
My motto is "Eat more meat. Give animals a shot at a short, happy life." (On the billboard, I'd have sad-eyed cows, pigs and chickens.) Every animal that you don't eat means one less animal that gets to be born, to have the opportunity to live a happy barnyard life. |

If you ask me, if a fetus ain't alive, an unfertilized egg sure as hell ain't. Fair game.
I dont eat fish; it's just as alive as a cow is. My sister, who's also vegetarian, does eat fish.

Oh, a fetus is alive; it just isn't a person. But hey, let's not get into that one again.

It's not a myth. People don't have myths about why you were vegan.
If it wasn't for the animals, what was your reason?
