Vegetarians are Evil? Backlash to the vegan moral crusade.

A new Vegetarian and Vegan criticism site has come out for those who are tired of hearing the preaching of vegetarian and vegan friends regarding their dietary choice.

A tiny 2.3% of the population are truly vegetarian - yet they are a feisty, vociferous lot. Many people who claim to be vegetarians actually will eat fish and/or chicken - for some reason such "vegetarians" do not realize that neither fish nor chicken are vegetables.

There is a growing backlash to militant veganism thanks to organizations such as PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals),

whose flamboyant publicity stunts - often using the tactic of flaunting the bodies of scantily clad women - have gotten under people's skin.

PETA has recently run advertisements claiming that "Meat is Murder" and that "There's a Holocaust on your Plate". The Holocaust campaign was quite possibly the nadir of PETA's public display of bad taste - the advertisments showed photographs of piglets in a stye juxtaposed near children in Auschwitz. Lovely people those PETA folks.

There is much evidence that humans were not designed to exist on a vegetarian diet - for example, we do not have the extensive digestive system of vegetarian animals such as cows, with multiple fermentation stomachs and the enzymes necessary to break down large quantitites of plant cellulos.

Our stomachs produce pepsin - which breaks down meat! Vegetarians of late have been attempting scare tactics to convert more healthy omnivores into grazing veggies by propagating such outright falsehoods as "meat rots in your digestive tract", and the fallacy that soy is healthy when it has been clearly proven to be a health risk.

This site is not the place to find such in depth scientific refutation, but rather a light-hearted criticism of the vegetarian agenda and vegan moral crusade - however it does have some useful links for those interested in reading more about the arguments against vegetarianism.
