    On the other hand, if mass-vegetarianism avoids the need to eat turkey-everything for a week after Christmas, it could be worth the pain.

    don't you see it's the other way around?!! The fact that you had to eat Turkey so many times in a row is because there's a shortage of meat - even now the genocide of our poor defenseless cattle animals has begun! There's a shortage of meat, thanks to the oppression led by the veggie folks! If there was meat in abundance, and food for everyone, and the trees full of glittering fruit once more, then you would not have needed to endure such suffering! Or if men would be at peace, and share a turkey, as a more meat-friendly world would allow, there would be no such suffering of the kind you speak of. So let us march to battle, and if this will be our last battle - if this will be the day known by our ancestors as the day when we died as martyrs for freedom - then so be it!

    And I like meat cake, a side of vegetables, all slathered in meat gravy. Am I a hockey puck?

    I am not sure about this but I believe I 've read in a book about nutrition habits of various people around the earth, that it is more efficient calorie wise to eat animals fed on vegetation than us eating that vegetation. Something on the order of 10 times more efficient.

    What I always find bizarre about evangelical vegetarians is that they don't seem to consider the fact that if everyone gave up eating meat, huge amounts of livestock would no longer be worth keeping and would be slaughtered.

    Grind up poor people and use the paste to fertilize a new crop of grain, with which to feed our cattle. Or just feed the paste directly to the cows.

    It's the only way.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Yes, yes... I know that it's more energy efficient to eat, well, bacteria or something - all that stuff about 90% energy being lost with each step in the food chain. Actually. We should breed photosynthesising humans, if we want to maximise resoure efficiency. Some people are on the way there anyway...
