Ha! That reminds me of this joke, for some reason:

A guy meets a hooker in a bar. She says, “This is your lucky night. I’ve got a special game for you. I’ll do absolutely anything you want for $300, as long as you can say it in three words.” The guy replies, “Hey, why not?” He pulls his wallet out of his pocket, and one at a time lays three hundred-dollar bills on the bar, and says, slowly: “Paint…my…house.”

I haven't had animal crackers in a long time, but I do remember feeling a little guilty for doing so when I was a kid.

Why? Is it health or animal issues? I can't imagine life without being able to eat a part of a dead cow.

Do you eat animal crackers?

When my Dad was in the military working at the pentagon, and I was 3 years old, my Mom would always buy me a box of animal crackers while she was shopping in the commissary.

Which is kind of funny now, because I don't like sugar and not the kind of thing I would eat.

It is because of the animal issues. The health and environment benefits are bonuses.

I gave up soft drinks for New Year's in 2000 and haven't missed them since. Same thing with meat, dairy, and eggs about four years ago. I thought it would be hard, but it's really not. I think it is much easier today than it was in the past because there are really good substitutes for those products if you do get a craving.

If man were meant to be vegan, brocolli would be more fun to hunt.

Bacon is meat candy.

What's the meaning of life ?

What are the lotto numbers for the next megamillions jackpot ?

Where is missing Malaysia Airlines plane MH370 ?

What is your favorite vegetable ?

Does seeing other people eating meat ever bother you?

Should be just as much fun. Brocolli is totally defenseless just like anything else folks hunt. And you can "stalk" it.

I used to teach with a woman who was a vegetarian. Unless it was bacon. She said she couldn't give bacon up because "bacon is meat candy".

Will you finally admit you don't really like food anyway?

I respect that.

FWIW, I stopped drinking soda a long time ago as well. Not so much a conscious decision, I just don't like sugar and carbonation.

I am addicted to flavored bottled water, tho.

One of my ex-wives was a vegan so that's what I had to eat. One day I just couldn't take it anymore and I stopped at Bert's Burger Bowl in Santa Fe and drowned my sorrows with a double meat, cheese, bacon, green chile burger. I also got a pint of deep fried chicken livers to go and ate them in my truck.

Am I going to hell??

Is "vegan" the PC term for meat racist?

True Food makes an amazing Tempeh/Lettuce/Tomato sandwich.

Baco-bits are soy-based, so when I want the bacon flavor, I use those.

Are you hitting on DCR?

Good question. It doesn't bother me, but I do see their "chicken" as "a chicken," so it makes me a little sad, I guess.

One of my cats loves broccoli, fwiw. Dunno why. LOL.
