It has been said, that if 10% of Americans became vegan, it would wean us off Foreign Oil dependence. That figure was made before the advent of SUV's, so it may have to be revised in John RobbinsDiet for a New America.
Cattle also take up 80% of the grain produced in the USA.
How can any self respecting christian live with themselves after knowing these facts?
So, as you see, human rights and animal rights, are closely tied together. You can't have one without the other. It is all part of the corporate welfare system.

"There is no creator" - the Dalai Lama. These are words of common sense, and it tells me that "spirituality" has nothing in particular to do with a belief in the supernatural. But then, those of us who grew up in the seventies watching "Kung Fu" already knew that being a vegan, atheist who follows the path of the buddha can reach enlightenment.

Politically I'm rather liberal, but I do like to listen to staunch conservative talk show host Michael (the 'Whiner') Savage so I'll probably be mentioning him from time to time in my weblogs. So for now, how about some talk of broccoli, carrots and peas? Recipe's anyone??

"As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
