My wife is going vegan

    I've always wondered ... what do vegans/vegetarians/environmentalists want to do with the cows we save by not eating them? I've never heard a sensible answer to that question.

    They have no natural habitat we're disturbing, they're domesticated animals, it's not as if you can let them run out in the wild, something will eat them.

    I have friends who are vegetarians for environmental reasons, too. The problem is that they eat so much cheese and regular pasta and bread that they both have sky-high cholesterol and one has developed hypertension. The doctor has told them to cut back on cheese, eat more low fat stuff and to seriously consider adding some lean protein, like chicken or beef to their diets or they'll have to go on cholesterol lowering meds. Seems kinda crazy to me to sacrifice your health that way.

    Have you ever seen a healthy-looking vegetarian? They look like shit! They're all gaunt and yellow. After a while, their bodies become intolerant of other things. I'll give you an example.

    I was out to lunch with a comedian friend of mine, and later in the day he said and I quote, "I feel nauseous and I have a headache. That soup I had must have had beef broth in it."

    Your system's kickin back broth? You're a manly man, aren't you?

    I had grilled marinated rabbit for lunch, with some pasta and a beef-tomato sauce heavy on the beef.

    Yum.

    Weeds and tofu are good. I'll take something that flies, crawls or swims, too.

    Isn't Amy Winehouse a vegetarian?

    Vincent: Want some bacon?
    Jules: No man, I don't eat pork.
    Vincent: Are you Jewish?
    Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
    Vincent: Why not?
    Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
    Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.
    Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense enough to disregard its own faeces.
    Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces.
    Jules: I don't eat dog either.
    Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
    Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
    Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
    Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charmin' motherfuckin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?

    Did you see the op-ed in the NY Times encouraging environmentalists to start hunting?

    On a sunny day, plants cast shadows. So what does that leave?
