It's almost a a given that if you like Adam, you don't like Will.
I don't mind him, and I really enjoy the Gruen Transfer - it's very interesting to get inside info on advertising (even if most of it is obvious)

As long as the animals weren't suffering or living in cruel conditions then I'm happy eating meat; a swift painless death is humane and desirable. I don't see the problem with eating meat but it's hard to defend eating meat I think. I saw this Dawkins and Peter Singer video, where Singer mentioned that in a couple of hundred years the majority will be vegetarians. Dawkins is a meat eater and he said that he really conforms to the social norms, and I guess he's right; and I do as well.
But veganism? I don't see a problem with eating anything that's come from an animal. If the animal was living in good conditions.
But I don't think I could ever become a vegetarian or a vegan in that case. Why? Mcdonalds. That's why.
