Of course I knew what you meant. Tongue

However:

There are two main problems with a grass diet. The first is that human stomachs have difficulty digesting raw leaves and grasses. Animals such as cows, on the other hand, have a specialized stomach with four chambers to aid in the digestion of grass (a process called rumination).

Aside from the digestion issues, a second problem with grass as a food source is the mastication. Your dentist would not be pleased; grass contains a lot of silica, an abrasive which quickly wears down teeth. Grazing animals have teeth that are adapted to continually grow, replacing the worn tooth surfaces quickly.

Veg*n diet is more a fad thing than a health thing.

Meat eaters are perfectly healthy, after all.

Veg*n diets are irrationally about wanting to not kill animals.

Guess what, you not eating meat will not stop the rest of us from eating meat.

People in general are more about the fad of what others are doing and thinking is healthy rather than actually researching the subject themselves. People are dumb-fuck retarded.

There is one scenario where I would theoretically eat eggs, and that's if I had saved some hens from a battery farm (there are many programs that you can adopt them through) and I was giving them the best life I could as a pet. In that case, the eggs would literally go to waste otherwise for no reason so I'd consider it ethically sound. But when the primary reason for having an animal is profit, then I always draw the line.

Ironically I probably still wouldn't eat them as I find them kind of repulsive since I found out what they are actually are. Sorry hens!

That is a funny thing to say, given that studies show that vegetarians live longer than omnivores, and vegans live longer than non-vegan vegetarians.  A simple search online will find lots of articles on this.

They certainly can be.  But on average, they die younger.

Is it irrational to want to live a longer, healthier life?  Is it irrational to dislike causing unnecessary pain and suffering?

Of course, a vegan can be irrational.  Not eating meat does not make a fool into a genius.

You might want to do some more research, but I do agree that many people are stupid.
