The Salt Maze. Peta would NOT approve.
I got into a debate with a very opinionated vegan kid yesterday. He informed me that he's not vegan for health reasons. In fact, he'd be vegan even if it were very bad for his health. Instead, he claimed he was vegan for moral reasons. "It's wrong to exploit animals." He wouldn't even eat insects, despite their lack of consciousness and superior nutritional value.
I think hardcore vaganism is mostly a social phenomenon, and a result of a socialization process. For some, it's probably done out of a desire to feel different, and for others it's a desire to fit in. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but it seems almost like a religion to me.
ahhhh veganism... how I long for the liberal views of the valley, but as luck would have it i reside in a place where it is custom to eat mass quantities of pig, mayo, beef, and anything that moves.... when one eats a vegitable here you are recieved with looks of discust. In fact vegetarian / vegan (they are all the same here) means simply that you have or still do eat vegitables....... I say to your friend hold true and fight the power.... me i'm off to eat a sack of poi.
