Face it, vegans: You desire to eat meat, and you're living in denial about it.
Every day we're bombarded with PETA sponsored ads for, of all things, "vegetarian meat", complete with claims that meat is unhealthy for us and that eating animals is cruel to animals and unhealthy for humans.
I'm going to save the "cruelty to animals" part of the issue for another time, but I'd like to address the issue of meat being "unhealthy" for humans as a reason why people should eat vegetarian or vegan. (The two are different - vegans are more strict about it than vegetarians.)
One of the biggest, most hypocritical part of the claim is that today's meat is "processed" and isn't even "real", so what do they promote? Vegan meat.
As Thanksgiving approaches, we're hearing a lot about "tofurky" - vegan turkey. In other words, fake what? Meat. The very thing that vegetarians are telling us not to eat has been re-created using all vegetables and other additives to feel like, taste like, and even smell like the one thing they claim to abhor - meat.
If meat is so disgusting, why try to make something into meat that isn't meat? Astounding! Why not just go into a garden, pick your vegetables and enjoy your salad without trying to turn it into some kind of animal in order to fake yourselves out and deny your true, natural cravings? If you don’t crave meat, why are you trying to recreate it out of vegetables?
And what's all this yap about meat being processed, so it's unhealthy? Have you ever seen what vegetables go through so you can eat fake flesh? How healthy is that?
