That line was probably the highlight of the talk, it was really funny. Anyway, I'm just a vegetarian, but Ian's thought process was pretty similar to mine. I decided to stop eating meat because it seemed like this useless thing. <br /><br />It does have to do with animal cruelty for me now, though, (that hit me after I was vegetarian for a couple months), but it's contextual, it's animal cruelty in <i>our society</i>, where we have this huge abundance of food, so it's just fucking selfish and indefensible to decide that we still need to cause so much pain to other creatures because people got used to eating hamburgers. Like Ian said, it's just convenient.Justinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364183667091630765.post-76792151891697517142010-09-17T13:33:13.743-05:002010-09-17T13:33:13.743-05:00Thanks for sharing!

I know).<br /><br />It's a pain the ass to ponder whether or not something so seemingly innocuous could actually have been created with fish swim bladders or something disgusting, but it's valid.<br /><br />I'm sure you already knew, but someone else who's a little newer to veganism might not. (And if you didn't know, it's worth looking into! (:)<br /><br />In any case, Ian is a badass and I thank him for making vegan a part of straightedge. Now I just wish more "straightedge" people would be vegan!ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04982592773748797424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364183667091630765.post-44475323364747885722010-09-17T10:55:28.396-05:002010-09-17T10:55:28.396-05:00Bianca, I don't think it is possible for you t...Bianca, I don't think it is possible for you to ROCK anymore than you already do!

The quote you gave doesn't really go with the no agenda-pushing, though, unless he's resigned to live in a society that sucks. So maybe that resonated more than you think.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14917367078025519399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364183667091630765.post-27690697340845567882010-09-17T09:02:45.588-05:002010-09-17T09:02:45.588-05:00how cool!

I'm not vegan, but I don't eat meat or dairy and I totally connect to what he is saying, at some point it really did boil down to just asking, why eat meat, it didn't make sense.lizhttp://odetoawe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364183667091630765.post-90324355195307666252010-09-17T06:00:25.386-05:002010-09-17T06:00:25.386-05:00How exciting this must have been!
