  RE: It's all about the tone or "EXACTLY"

  Yes, "tone", "marketing", however you want to put it.

  We're all familiar with very basic biology.  Yay us.  That's not the problem.  The problem is the tone or marketing that PETA employs.  I personally love the "If you're an environmentalist, you don't want to miss out on a wonderful opportunity to make a difference by reducing animal product consumption." way of putting it.On Umbra on meat eating and global warming posted 2 years, 2 months ago 41 Responses

  The REAL Dilemma here...

  ...is one of marketing.  Broken down into straight facts and even common sense, eating less meat is less burdensome on the planet.  Case closed.  It takes less energy to create a sack of potatos than a cow - go figure.

  The truth to that isn't the issue, I don't think.  It's the pretentious way PETA chooses to market damn near EVERYTHING they do.  

  Listen, I'm a Vegan.  I have been for over 3 years.  I do it for environmental AND moral reasons.  I actually believe the statement "Meat is murder, dairy is rape."  I have sympathies for various groups whose acronym starts with "A" and ends in "F" (with maybe an "L" in there somewhere too).  But I really don't support this campaign as the face of the vegetarian / vegan movement.  It's going to get us nowhere.  It's the source of conflict, not constructive engagement.

  Vegan Outreach is an organization that's much more cool-headed about spreading our holy gospel of burgerlessness. :P  On Umbra on meat eating and global warming posted 2 years, 2 months ago 41 Responses
