Guest guest Posted October 21, 2000 Report Share Posted October 21, 2000 > and as for PETA, every time someone throws that kind of a comment at me, " oh! you are a vegetarian. PETA this, PETA that, oh those crazy PETA maniacs.... " i always say, " hey. i am NOT a member or a supporter of PETA or it's protests. and just like ANY other cause, there are the extremists. look at pat robertson. the crazy anti abortion groups who blow up clinics and kill people. anti government groups who blow up buildings and mail off letter bombs. there are all kinds of people out there, and it is not fair to assume that because i choose to peacefully not eat meat that on my days off i am raiding animal testing labs or dressing up in bloody chicken costumes and sabitaging mcdonalds. so please don't try to define me when you obviously don't know the first thing about my beliefs or my viewpoints. " << hey.... I'm a member of PETA! yes, yes..there are the nuts in our ranks, and at times, I am one of them, but every movement needs people willing to grab the attention of others. everyone can use a good shaking up now and then..even us: helps to solidify our beliefs and makes us stronger people. that aside, let me take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Stephanie and I am a vegan living in Illinois. I have been a vegan since the beginning of this summer, but have been a veggie since I was 14. Healthwise, I have felt tremendously well since I stopped eating dairy, but I think that I inadverteanly cured a lactose intolerance by becoming vegan, so that's good I am looking forward to new recipes because I am in a diet rut and could use some more variety. well.. that's the short story. steph _____ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
