I have some questions... a tad trollish I grant you but..

Why have I got these sharp pointy teeth, kind of like a carnivore?
Why do I have to try much harder to eat a balanced diet if I don't eat meat?
Why is my gut not long enough to properly digest a purely vegetarian diet?
If plant's scream, how terrified is the last carrot in a field when it 
is harvested? Is that fair?

All in fun you understand.. as I hate so called vegans who somehow think 
that no animal was actually injured in the making of their finely 
stitched leather shoes OR that fish aren't animals OR that eggs aren't 
baby chickens.

Live and let live. I eat meat and I know where it comes from and how it 
gets to my plate. I even accept that acres of rain forest have to be 
cleared to grow the soy to feed the beef. I wonder if the same area 
wouldn't be cleared to grow the soy to feed the veggies???
