"I eat grass"

Vegan.
The word doesn’t really appeal to me. I don’t think I could stop eating meat. I have a love affair with chicken and eat it at least once a day. Even soup, chicken noodle soup is my favorite. But going vegan is good because it saves on resources or something to that nature.

My point is that I can’t eat a salad just plain with nothing on it. I love french fries on salad (I think that’s a Pittsburgh thing). I have to say that I don’t feel full unless I have some protein from some meat. I'm sure vegans can get the same nutrients from vitamins but how appealing is it to say "Yeah, I eat grass." No thank you.

Not that I’m saying people who are vegans are crazy. They’re just a bit unstable in my mind. I feel like if I don’t eat this piece of steak then it’s going to waste and who wants to waste food? Wouldn’t it be better to eat Kosher foods anyways?

I don’t understand the big deal about not eating meat anyways. I will continue to eat meat daily and vegans can continue not to. More steak for me.

Indeed, why let that steak go to waste? I'm with you on this one; I've never really understood the whole vegan mentality.

It's the animal aspect of the human appetite that drives us to eat meat, and the human aspect that drives us to guzzle down grease and sugar for that hedonistic buzz. Vegans intend to deny both drives, preferring to live in a strange world of dry salads and tofu. But hey, why not take it one step further? Heads of lettuce have feelings too! REALLY hardcore vegans live on air alone!
