Interview With an Ex-Vegan: Erim Bilgin
When things started to go obviously downhill for me, all those questions that I previously ignored about the diet started to look much more real all of a sudden.
Did humans really have these big brains just for writing animal liberation manifestos? Were these super sweet agricultural fruits really what humans ate for millions of years? Had all those hunter-gatherer cultures been mistaken about the hunting part? Did cavemen make those paintings to tell us how much they loved their animal friends and didn’t want to see them getting hurt? And why the hell WERE my teeth getting annihilated, anyway? Veganism had some answering to do, and it all happened randomly as shit. -- Let Them Eat Meat

Your Say
The first question any would-be vegetarian or vegan should ask is "Why did God (or more likely in their case, gaia) or evolution give me these teeth up front known as 'canines'?"

Perhaps the Left-Right divide began when some were too useless to hunt. The entitlement mindset is certainly a failure of Darwinism.

"Not a courageous moral warrior walking alone the path of righteousness in a world of sin, but rather a butthurt scoundrel trying to grab onto every piece of power he can find while disguising it as being morally superior in order to feel better about himself."
Perfecto.

Veganism is to man what corn is to automobiles.

I grew up in California in the 1960s. That's a nice interview with a well-spoken young man, but I've read or heard the same stuff for 40 years now.

Hitler was a vegetarian.
He was also a teetotaler. Churchill was neither. End of story.
