So what you're saying is, vegetarians who are vegetarian for the sake of saving animals are just as horrible as the rest of us - if not more?

Do you mean land cucumbers or sea cucumbers? I could agree with the latter but not the former.

Anyway, since it clearly wasn't obvious enough from the very fact I generally don't talk about my vegetarianism, the question was a joke. I am actually not a vegetarian because I only refuse to eat things that have a central nervous system. I don't eat fish or meat, but I do eat clams and jellyfish, and I make use of sponge.

The only exception is escargot - I eat them even though they have a central nervous system, for the reason that they were introduced to the CA ecosystem by the French to serve as a food source for humans, and have now become enormously destructive agricultural pests that have to be killed off anyway. Interestingly, as with pheasants and peacocks, other creatures not native to CA, the effect of escargot on the indigenous ecology appears to be nominal; they are only a threat to human agriculture.

Incidentally, I wonder what the Native Americans would have learned to do with escargot if they had retained control of the land after the French introduced the creatures. Garlic and olives are not native to CA, but mustard, blackberries and acorns are...

Although as a matter of practice I do not eat any meat other than jellyfish, clams and escargot, I don't have an ethical problem with fully free-range meat and fish. I believe ruminants and fish exist to be eaten (by sharks and wolves if not humans). This is manifest in their psychology and behavior. I believe the best way to protect and ensure a positive quality of life for the creatures is the establishment of a sustainable symbiosis - this is something the French do very well in their own country.

This is also why McDonalds is disgusting and buffalo should be reintroduced to the West.

Nihilism is a copout.

Considering how many animals die in the fields by getting caught in the harvesters and how big of dicks vegetarians and vegans usually are, yes.

I could just as easily say cops, rednecks and gun nuts are dicks and death-prone.

That said, even I admit most vegetarians are shallow and pedantic, with little real moral conviction. But that applies to the advocacy of any viewpoint in the world of today, regardless of how right or wrong it is. This is also why I try not to make a big deal about being a vegetarian...such as I am.

if you've no aversion to eating ecologically disastrous organisms then you should try your hand at wild boar.

I think buffalo meat is the jiggity jam.

"I feel bad that animals suffer so I can eat them" is such a First World Problem.

Saw that coming from a mile away.

How do you know if someone's a Vegan without asking them?

You don't need to ask, they'll fucking tell you every chance they get.
