- It's funny how people don't consider the poor bloody plants - they're
- alive too you know, until you boil them or, worse, eat them alive ;-)

- I'm sure they don't consider themselves to be producing "food", however
- efficiently they may do it. They are producing little plants. A vegetarian's
- bowl of rice contains 100s of dead plants; my t-bone steak only required
- one life to be sacrificed, and many other folk fed from it too!
-
- Humans are simply part of the food chain. If we are to live, other life
- forms must die.
