Agreed. The idea of making a stand by not eating meat, has about as much merit as trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon. I will eat meat until the day I die, and no one will ever be able to convince me otherwise.
Don't get me wrong, I know about how the animals are mistreated and such. It's a damn shame... but denying myself the wonderul taste of meat won't help whatever cause the vegan pushers are trying to pull off. As legend said: even if I don't eat it, it will still be there. May as well enjoy it
