Morons. Eating plants doesn’t prevent zoonotic diseases from food. Proper cooking kills almost all pathogens (doesn’t work on prion diseases though, and they are only from animals, so far.)
Interestingly, as we understand the effort required to obtain enough protein and such from plants, we realize that we can do this because we have progressed so far in technology. Poor BC would struggle to obtain enough plants to suffice for living conditions at that time – the mixture of meat and plants would be required to survive. It is a fascinating thought. Good to go vegetarian in our world today, probably not good if sudden apocalyptic conditions.
Anybody notice the number of articles lately about insects for eating?!?Apparently, those are the only species that will continue to outnumber human populations. . .
might as well. It also promotes evolution… it’s just a comic, anyway. Actually, there ought to be a ton of humor from the ridiculous and hypocritical veganism world, anyway. We don’t have to laugh ‘with’ them, we can actually laugh at them while we enjoy our animal burger!

We do eat plants. But plants don’t taste like bacon. So we eat bacon.

People that think people are bad for the planet should throw themselves into a volcano and set the example.

A million years ago there were a group of monkeys that ate fruit & nuts. One day they began eating meat. That’s when they turned into humans.

You can get salmonella from plants, there was a large recall of roman lettuce a few months ago.

Last night a vegan nephew informed me that they can’t drink Budweiser – because it has been passed through a horse.

Some nuts (especially cashews) should be roasted before eating.

Saw this on a shirt: If vegetarians like animals so much, why do they eat all their food?

It has nothing to do with government. It is a personal choice.
