Not sticking up for the veganistas at all, but it is a touch on the odd / morbid side to come along and pick your turkey, give it a name, care for it (Turning it into a family pet?). Then whipping its head off and stuffing it ready for the big day in December?

the argument is that you're making people aware of where their food comes from....

Veganism is a choice? Indeed. It’s a luxury of the modern world that we live in? To some extent, yes.

Not quite right - it's to every extent. We are omnivores designed to eat everything (its why we have cutting teeth as well as flat, grinding ones). Do ee eat too much meat in the West? Yes, no doubt - that's a different argument.

What guff. Go to a vegan fair, and you'll notice everyone looks a hell of a lot healthier!

Complete BS. Some will look healthier others won't- just like normal people

shellfish has many great things in it. One of the theories of human intelligence has shellfish as the catalyst.

given the lack of eating shellfish in the ME you might have a point!
