Title: Feeding Kids Meat Is Still Child Abuse

he story of a 15 year old boy in Lubbock, Texas in need of a liver transplant because of health complications relating to obesity is the latest case highlighting the need for parents to step up and teach their children healthy eating habits. We believe that parents have a responsibility to teach their children healthy eating habits. Raising your children on a meat-based diet that might lead them to the hospital or an early grave is child abuse, plain and simple. And that’s exactly the message on PETA’s new billboard we’re trying to run in Lubbock, Texas.

The boy’s diet consisted of mostly burgers and pizza which (duh!) resulted in a fatty liver. This is not a health problem a child should ever have to face, but unfortunately, he’s not the only one. It is becoming a sickening sign of the adolescent obesity epidemic that some adolescents are requiring liver transplants due to their poor diets rich in fats.

To help spotlight that vegetarianism is a key to overcoming obesity in children and parents’ responsibility in getting this message to their children, PETA’s billboard with the tagline, "Feeding kids meat is child abuse - Fight the fat - GoVeg.com." will hopefully be hitting Lubbock shortly.

Many children who are fed a diet of saturated fat- and cholesterol-laden burgers, nuggets, and hot dogs show symptoms of heart disease by the time they reach first grade. Parents don’t need to be told that feeding their children such poor diets may be slowly killing them, its common sense. But they’re feeding it to them anyway.

Child abuse. Plain and simple.

The thing I hate most about you vegan militants is that you just live and let live. No meat eater or hunter will ever try to force you to eat meat or go hunting. Meanwhile, you vegan nuts want to shove your lifestyle down other people's throats. If you had your way, you would use the force of law to make other people to eat what you want them to eat, which is just as repellant as anybody who wants to force people to think, worship, or not worship in a particular way.

If you want to live on tofu and mashed yeast, have at it. Live on a diet of sawdust for all I care, it's your life. Just learn to mind your own business when you do it. If you have a hang-up about eating meat and want to stop others from doing so, you aren't any different than religious nuts with sexual hang- ups who want to run other people's sex lives for them. You guys are just religious nuts with a different obsession.

A) Your first sentence along with the second are silly logical fallacies B) I don't eat yeast and tofu C) Nor sawdust D) I don't have to subsidize your murder E) People who hunt animals and attack those who condemn it, how are you not a satanic bloodwoshiping cult?

I learned long ago never to argue with drunks or lunatics. I don't know about your drinking habits, but the second one fits you to a T.

Like I said before, you militant vegans who want to tell people what to eat are no different from Bible thumpers who want to control people's sex lives. So go run along to your PETA meeting and bugger off.

So, you are telling me

A) the government does not subsidize meat eating?

or

B) Killing animals when you don't have to live off of them in this enlightened society is not satanic, or at the least lower dimensional?

Do I have this correct?

You remind me of my eight year old nephew. He runs around trying to impress people with big words that he's just heard, and always uses them incorrectly. What does it mean for a person to be "lower dimensional?" Does he live in flatland, or on a line?

You're an empty-headed flake like every in your face vegan I've ever met, and obviously too stupid to realize that your arguments come down to nothing more than an emotional "All those animals are so cute, you have no right to kill them?" You're also too stupid to realize that all of your shrieking on this website isn't exactly converting anyone to your Church of Vegan.

In the meantime, here's a piece of advice on how you can really help the animals. Just by living in a house, eating food, and driving a car you're taking away precious resources from animals. So why don't you PETA loons set an example to the rest of us by committing mass suicide? Maybe more will follow your enlightened example! Have at it!
