Nobody (that I noticed) was offended by anything you said. However, it was clear to many of us that you were using typical "vegetarian" tactics which were INTENDED to revolt and offend meat eaters. Several of us have pointed that out to you, but you refuse to accept that while we recognized your intent to offend, IT DID NOT WORK... We were not offended, and you did not tell us anything we did not know. Would I have to butcher a cow, pop the eyes out, and consume them in front of you to make you realize that I, and everyone else here is well aware, and fully conscious of what we eat, where it comes from, and how it gets to our tables? ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
