It is NOT "childhood indoctrination" that causes humans to be meat eating omnivores but more genetics?I would concede that there might be genetic factors involved, but I do not buy your "75% of population can't biologically be vegan" assertion, which until you back it up with evidence I assume was just plucked out of your lower back.
I think I indicated that I was utilising my "lower back" with that guesstimate, striving to include those from "Third world and Second world" countries where this "radical choice" you are advocating may not be available.

You are applying "First world" problems to an issue that is much greater than your narrow view.

You never considered that an omnivore would enjoy a vegan meal. Even when one stated as such but kept on with your pseudo religious vilification of omnivores.

Now you are sounding religious, and further indication that you have only replaced one "religion" with another. I am personally glad you feel well and happy with your life and the way you choose to live it I am demanding that you let others do the same.

See that is the rub there. You are being elitist in thinking that YOU are the only one who has considered this lifestyle path and like a true evangelical you must "witness" to all and sundry (whether they like it, been there done that, or not) of your "conversion".
You are also very gullible to think that because we on this forum are rather flippant regarding meat consumption, that we don't care. This is what your "socio-political-masters" would like you to think and this is not accurate.
There are many on this board who ARE vegan/ vegetarian, or some version there of, so you are nothing special. Your verbose infantile tantrums that we on this board are ALL horrid people because some of us prefer (for what ever reason) meat in our diets is insulting to them who you would readily identify with.
Anyway, back to this cock-a-mamy idea that halal/ kosher slaughter is just wizz bang fantastic and humane... who's fucking idea was that and why did it become religious law?
