You're missing out, twinkies are the shit! I'm afraid I can't send you one though, state secret, it's an offense punishable by death (treason isn't looked kindly upon). All kidding aside, if twinkies were all we had accomplished I would be more than a little less proud of our achievements (though not completely embarrassed, as I mentioned, twinkies are the shit). The American contribution to agriculture is just a tad bit more substantial than all that. I'm sure you're aware of this, all kidding aside. If you aren't...I'd be glad to run a clinic.....
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I don't need all this. But if I can shut you permanently up by stuffing the monster burger down your vegan throat, then I will need to shove it down your vegan throat.

You are always free to speak with an extra large steak burger stuffed in your mouth.

It's a chicken that can fulfill daily fiber requirements as well. Let's breed more of these.

Now I'm getting an uneasy feeling. You seem fixated with stuffing things in my mouth, lol.

Are we any closer to seeing that list of the damned?

I have no idea where you drew that conclusion from. Humans are animals, so why shouldn't we eat meat?

No, I don't. Where does it say he believes that? Do you have a source for me to look at? I had no idea he believed that, but I guess we can't agree on everything.
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."

As just another animal, we are not special as theists believe; not created in the image of God. So this is no basis for out treatment of other animals. So, if you believe that it is wrong to cause unnecessary pain and suffering, on what basis would you restrict that consideration to just humans? Our consideration around inflicting pain and suffering must surely consider all those beings capable of feeling pain and suffering.
