Survey results about vegans

@ 06:19 AM (13 months, 2 days ago)
Heard on the news that some study was released that stated that vegans, were more likely to decline having sex with people who eat meat. The practice of being a carnivore, or omnivore is sick and disgusting to the hard core vegans.  My first reaction to the news was one of apathy. Then the more it was discussed, it started to turn to pity, are they that disturbed by the majority of the human race eating meat that they have to make a survey to whine about it?  I may be wrong, but a lot of vegatarians that I have interacted with in the past all seemed a bit uptight and defensive.  Are  the majority of them liberals?...lol...they seem to share a lot of traits in the behavior  dept...... Just to be fair, I'm sure there are multitudes of hard working farmer/rancher/trucker/construction/mechanics/ect. that just love a good hummis and bean sprout tofu sandwich!!...I seen a shirt once that said im a vegan not because I love animals but because I hate plants!!!..lol....I started to analyze the reasons behind the feeling.  #1 Health concerns...(ok...they don't get constipated with all that fiber)  #2 Respect for other species of life..(Well I don't hunt much.....i'm a poor shot har har) #3 The perception of suffering and cruel treatment, of common food sources harvested to proccur meat. #4 The taste, texture may be revolting on a personal level........Ok enough of that crap....lol....Ill have a fresh garden salad and a inch thick rare veal cutlet,( would that make me a vealgan??) and a side of oysters on the half, and a fresh lobster screaming in the pot!!  Maybe they just need their ashes hauled by a real meat eater.."wink...wink"....and it might change (her) mind a little.....lol.....(yes I know that was tacky).... but what the hell, bottom line is ... I was bored and too full of caffeine!.......And to any vegans out there..... stick to your convictions, and ignore blowhards such as myself, it's all in fun with a grain of salt...riff
