If this twisted logic of yours includes fanatical raw vegans and
animal

And I am amazed that it has not stimulated more discussion than it
has.

>it is like many of you guys really have a problem with it.

Is that an understatement. :)

I would not want to know what kind of case might ignite your
(com)passion.

>like, who is doing more to help people, most of you guys or the nfl guys?

Naturally, we are by pointing out the dangers of listening to the
dietary
misinformation put out by deceitful and hostile zealots like NFL.
