nothing puts the “mmmmmm” in “murder” like homemade stuffing and cranberry sauce.

I LOLed.

We meat-eaters know how the animals die. I don’t see how that implies we want to watch it being done, though. I don’t particularly want to see my carrots covered in dirt and bugs before they’re cleaned off either.

Damn rich people and your ability to live of of supplements.

But not the same land. The world has very little land capable of supporting a vegetarian diet. But animals can live almost anywhere, off of stored resources, and supply much more protein for the amount of water required (the more critical resource)

But I have had this argument before, vegetarianism it the religion of the well fed, and the dogma is not relinquished willingly.

I have nothing against vegetarians, it is a healthy choice. But like religion, asking others to believe in your delusion is still irrational.

What strikes me as peculiar about that is that is not so much that she didn’t think about it, as that someone else did and deliberately chose that as background imagery. I’d be really interested to know who made that choice and why.

All that said, I have to weigh in with those who don’t think it’s a particularly gross visual (city boy, long ex-vegetarian here). It was funny in juxtaposition though, especially when she’s talking about the ‘brutality’ of a national political campaign, apparentlly oblivious to the literal slaughter behind her.

Salon had an interesting take on it. They said that there is no way the news crew failed to notice what was going on in the background. So they felt it was something of a set up of Palin.
