You forgot a couple!

Not only do perfect strangers confess to their meat-eating habits, they find it necessary to apologize and sometimes PROMISE they'll do better.

While I appreciate that they are aware that they aren't following the healthiest, most humane lifestyle, I am NOT their priest or their doctor! (I love informing curious people about vegetarianism/veganism if they want to know, but I really don't see why they should feel guilty in my presence!)

The other issue is the omnivores who say, "Oh, I tried being a vegetarian, but I got really sick, so went back to eating meat." (Makes me want to scream!) They don't ever consider the possibilities that 1. They were going to get sick anyway--maybe even MUCH sicker than if they'd been meat-eaters when it happened; or 2. That they weren't following a HEALTHY veg diet. (Twinkies *good riddance* & potato chips are technically vegetarian, but hardly healthy!)

Clever article, ALMOST completely accurate!

I agree with a lot of what you say, except twinkies contain lard, etc.--not vegetarian at all.

Love this article and all the comments! I agree that we use far too much toilet paper in our country. My husband and I have never used TP for voiding. Rags work well for this and the toilet doesn't need flushing unless it's "brown" then it goes down. I like the idea of the bidet which is cleansing as well as eliminating TP.

Drawback to being Vegan? After 30 years of being one my list is long but here's a short one; always getting a diatribe about how someone hates vegetables especially ..... and they just couldn't possibly be limited to just eating veggies. These are also usually people who don't like to read and profess to adore all animals.
