The next person to call eating meat unhealthy or unethical, or the food pyramid unhealthy or unethical as a statement of fact without a NON PETA backing link or study, will be banned.

All these statements must be backed up with facts or clarified as opinions. Samos- please provide what you believe is the correct food pyramid, I'm literally boggling that you disagree that a diet combined mostly of wholegrains/vegetables & fruit, with smaller portions of meat/dairy is healthy.

Please read "The China Study"

I think that the way that vegans take in the most animal produce is by the use of cosmetics and toiletaries. You have to read the labels carefully.
Women "eat" a number of tubes of lipstick per year and they have animal ingredents.
Anything applied to the skin such as lotions get absorbed and lots have animal products in them.

I think that it should be in every school and library in the country. I read some where that Gary Player the golfer got down on his knees on television in the US and begged people to read it.

Yes
I hope that it gets the message through to some more people. Gary Player is in his seventies and still competes.
