I don't eat animal products, birds and fish because like people, they feel pain and fear before they got killed. Not mention that after killing the meat contains their hormones of death, pain and fear.

Bad karma.

[DianeDi]

Not just bad karma, bad for health and environment, not to mention those poor animals. You are a smart person and I only wish you a long life and good health with that.

Going to get some Mickie D's now you useless plant murderer, they provide vital oxygen that our planet needs and you clowns are killing living things.

PETA and Peter Singer are not major proponents of veganism. Sure, they promote it. But their main goal is so-called "ethical treatment," which is like murdering in a nice way, it just doesn't mix. It's great that they've gotten so many people to change the way they view non-human animals, but the true change lies in changing the idea of animals as property to the ideology of animals being fellow earthlings, with whom we should co-exist and harmonize, rather than kill simply for taste.

... anyways... lol.

I'm not sure how these comments work when were on a thread like this, but hey, it's all good. I know what you mean, I do get it, he probably shouldn't be in a fast food establishment. I don't visit taco, mcdeath, kfc etc... just the larger restaurants, but they all have processed stuff. You almost need to be a scientist these days to know what you are being served. Buyer beware ;o) I keep everything very basic and simple... it's the only way for me.

[KimberleeMelissa]

That makes sense. I do have to say that I've gotten a veggie burger at burger king just to encourage them for having it on the menu but now that I've seen vids of how long the burgers from those places last (years without any signs of spoilage) it's scary to even eat that at one of those places!

[1GreenDayIsTheShit1]

is this in response to me?...

[DianeDi]

In all honesty, I go to certain places because of my family... although I have things special made. Most people don't realize you can walk into many establishments and tell them you're vegetarian or vegan and believe me, they will go out of their way... if you don't trust the waiter, ask for the manager I have always had a very positive outcome and no doubt inspired my server to think about their personal choices. If all else fails, I always go with old faithful.. garden salad & baked potato

[1GreenDayIsTheShit1]

Ummm... I'm not sure whether or not he was eating a veggie burger or a normal one... but my bet's on veggie. but what I'm saying is hypocritical is him even eating there. I mean... he wages war on fast food and then goes to a fast food place... that's all I'm saying.

[KimberleeMelissa]

Well, did the person actually see what they were eating?!

[1GreenDayIsTheShit1]

of course. being a hypocrite is always nice :-P
