I am all for a plant-based diet for those who choose to go that way. I can do without the holier-than-thou, condescending speeches. One well-meaning lady once told me that we were "robbing animals of their true potential" by eating them. I responded with, "So you are saying that if wasn't for humans, the average pig could be a C.P.A. instead of a B.L.T." Everyone in class except for her, and the queef professor, laughed.
