Can they swallow?
And can they enjoy a good pork stuffing....?

possibly ironic, but there's no moral ambiguity here. I can't speak for everyone, but for most vegans the idea is not about diet, but about consent. An animal put to use by humans has no say or no choice in the matter, and that is why they think that it is wrong.
I've heard that from a few vegans myself. So, I ask them...
"Plants can't give consent, yet you still eat them. What's the difference?"
One of two responses is always given...
1) Plants can't feel pain or have thoughts, so it's ok to eat them.
2) You just don't get it!
Some people who only eat raw foods kind of have a point because they don't alter the chemical composition of the foods they eat, so they see this as being non-destructive to the organization of the thing.
well yes, that is where human value systems come in. I'm sure that you, Chef, consider murder to be wrong, but from a purely objective viewpoint, there is no difference between killing a person and kicking a rock.
Yes, animals eat each other in the wild and it is not a nice and kind place. That is a result of natural selection. Our relationships with them (aka. killing and eating them, or making things out of their bodies) are just because we feel like it, because we choose to. Other animals lack the intellectual capacity to create moral value systems or utilize resources outside of their immediate availability. Because it is our choice to use animals, it is also our choice not to.
I don't really care what you do or what you eat, I'm just telling you the way that I see things.
Only whacko Christians think that sperm have feelings.

Are you a vegan? :dunno:
according to my parents I'm a picky eater. that is anyone who has any food preferences and doesn't eat everything that is put in front of them on a plate. If this circumstance should happen to find you, you will be told about the starving children that wish they could eat what you are having.
Oh God, I hate when parents use the "starving children" line when you don't finish your dinner. If they were so concerned about the starving children, then maybe they should send them all the crap that I don't like to eat. Like, spaghetti, dry ricotta, beets, olives, etc.
