  Vegan Soapbox: We're All a Little Bit Vegan

  "...to have never even considered a life without animal products yet, and to have never even thought about their food as animals."  Actually, most of us have considered it and simply don't like where it leads.  And to say that we don't think of our food as animals is equally ignorant.  I'm fully aware when I'm eating an animal.  I just don't care.  They are animals, and they are delicious AND nutritious.  You're also blurring a line between "Vegetarian" and "Vegan."  Vegetarians don't eat meat, which is fine.  Vegans don't eat anything that came from an animal, including dairy products, eggs, and gelatin.  That means no jell-o, no delicious baked goods like cakes and cookies, no omelletes, no cheese, ice cream or yogurt.  I appreciate your views and support your ability to live as you choose.  You should appreciate those of us who view animals as part of the natural world--i.e. food.
