Happy Meal

Jeffrey Goldberg has posted an interview with Jonathan Safran Foer, the author of Eating Animals, on the morality of vegetarianism. Well worth the read.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the pond, Brigitte Bardot is campaigning for the European Union to institute a Vegetarian Day in order to help combat global warming (this link not for the kids).

Naturally, that's cause for the self-annointed moral guideposts over at Free Republic to let us know just what we should think about those vegetarians. Let's take a look.

Another thing that is negative about vegetarianism is the self-righteous, fascist superiority of vegetarians and (shudder) vegans. To them, we “flesh eaters” are morally inferior and deserve any evil thing that happens to us.

Veggie killers are just as nuts as any other leftie with their broad brush, one-size-fits-all philosophies.

Fascist vegetarians. Because Hitler was a vegetarian!

And we can't stand those broad-brush painting vegetarian liberal nuts.

Damn broads.

Thanks for admitting it. Most vegans and vegetarians are self-righteous prigs.

Now when the right wing nuts generalize, no problem.

Pass me the steak please!

See, now that's the proper level of discourse. Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.

Tasty, tasty meat. Mmmmmmm...mmmmmmmm...mmmmmm.

Oui, oui!

In I Timothy 4:3 The Bible states that in latter times not eating meat shall be pushed upon people. Now just how did the writter know this unless he was inspired by God. Who would have thought it?

1Ti 4:1 ¶ Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

1Ti 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

Forbidding to marry? I thought the biggest problem we faced was that evil liberals wanted more people to marry. OK, I admit it, I don't even know what the above means. How could I, as a godless vegetarian?
