I think this person was really saying that adult humans don't need the milk of other species. Baby humans need the milk of humans. No shit.

I think us commenters ARE the proofreaders. Can't get much more "fair" than free, am I right?

Yeah try rice milk. It is the skim milk of the dairy-free world, because it basically looks like water does when you wash white rice in it.

I think you'll find the answer being that bony fish and leafy greens don't come in chocolate flavour and you can't add strawberry Nesquik to them. Oh and you can't pour them on your cereal.

So what is Daniel Quinn's philosophy then? Human population decline? I can get behind that, but you're doing a lot of talking here without actually sharing any information. I am with you on organic farming because animals still suffer and die in those systems, but I really don't see how killing animal species to eat…

Pasture? Are you fucking kidding me? That shit should be fucking rainforest, which is "what it's supposed to be" and sustains a far greater number of species than any fucking farmland does.

Oh and this was on another thread a couple days ago but totes bears repeated use here:

Or they might have once belonged to assholes and now belong to adoptive owners who are really trying their best. One of my dogs is an asshole (well, I call her a bitch, which is more accurate) and the other is fucking ray of sunshine, so I'm inclined to believe it isn't me.

I know I'm 9 days late on this one, but you aren't the asshole. I've several altercations with other dog owners that ALWAYS leave their dogs off leash at the local sports park where there are NUMEROUS signs that say no dogs allowed on the field. And they give ME attitude when I point it out!

Not at all - I was the one flipping out a bit. But if you look I feel like Doug did include a sentence about animal ethics in this article " they couldn't find any evidence that red and processed meats will murder you the way the meat industry murders scores of placid quadrupeds" and I'm sure that was put in there for…

Laura Beck at Jez is vegan and she has other sites we can read but it's a huge problem here at Jez - despite otherwise left-leaning policies, people flip out here when you bring up animal rights. I just want feminists to see that the two causes are inextricably linked with issues in bodily integrity and most often…

They still tout the fact that it is "good news": Yay we can eatz wuteva meatz we lyk yayz! Making it "good news" is what makes it relevant. The fact that animals die IS relevant in every discussion about meat when you're vegetarian or vegan. Once you see the inherent cruelty of this industry, it's hard not to see it…

Bahaha when coffee makes me a jittery shaky mess (which is always) I tend to blame the caffeine. But that's just me.

The wheat, corn and soy you speak of has primarily been used to feed stock animals. The damage done would be a lot lesser (because we would need to grow a lot less) if we just fed it directly to human beings. I can't believe I'm explaining this to someone again. I thought this shit was common knowledge by now.

Exactly: http://www.theonion.com/articles/study-red-meat-takes-years-off-of-cows-life,27954/ Red meat consumption can take years off a cow's life.

Doesn't it? Or possibly a snail. If I was going to make up a contagious mollusc this is the name I would use.

That argument is pretty circular then, women should stay home because they earn less, and therefore women should earn less because they (MIGHT) want to stay home? Where does it end?

It pretty simple, based on his past behaviour, they know he does not like being reprimanded and hates his claws being clipped, so they use those as stimuli to elicit a negative response from the dog. They use positive things that they know he likes to get a positive response. We cannot know for sure that a response is…

I like the closed eyes smiley face they make while looking up at you, it shows they are content with you enough to actually take their eye off you for a moment. I find myself doing it to cats all the time. A lion did it back at me the other day, that was pretty cool.
