If Jean-Louis or yourself are implying that the atrocities ordered by
by Hitler had anything to do with vegetarian, one could just as well
point out that the majority of U.S. Americans (who are meat eaters) still
sanction the gassing of people in gas chambers..or electric
chairs, or lethal injections etc.. Just because I as an Englishman
happen to live in Germany, does not automatically mean that I in
some way sanction what Hitler did. No way! The fact remains,
however, that most of the Germans alive today were not alive then,
still eat a lot of meat, totally reject the death penalty and totally
reject any armed intervention in foreign countries. So let us stop
these stupid and idiotic and "politically incorrect" arguments about
possible connections between certain diets and the personal actions
of a few loonies and get back to the health aspects.
