Diet for a Small Planet is hardly evidence

If you want to trust your life to something
that nutty then do so, otherwise have some
animal products in your diet.



When you use adjectives like "left wing" in a technical
discussion about nutrition you tend to show you have an adgenda
that has nothing to do with the merits of the argument, and you
thereby lower the credibility of anything useful you may have to
say.

To paraphrase Al Franken, arguing about whether a diet is
"left wing" or "right wing" is like arguing whether al-Qaeda uses
too much vinegar in its salad dressing. It may be true, but it's
completely beside the point.

Hope this helps.

It only helped to show that you aren't very astute, and
you're probably too contaminated by notions of
political correctness ever to learn.

"Diet for a Small Planet" IS INDEED an expression of
leftist political thinking. So is "veganism". If
someone tells me he's "vegan", I know EVERYTHING about
his politics; there's nothing concealed.

By this chap's comical worldview, two-thirds of the population of India
are lefties, including Narendra Modi, the far-right "saffronist" bigot &
leader of bigots in India, he's totally vegan, but maybe he's only
pretending to be such a bad rightwing ****** to make the right look bad.
And Mussalini's ulcer drove him to vegetarianism therefore he must've been
more of a progressive than a fascist. Hitler some believe was a vegan at
least until 1931, maybe he should've stayed one, no doubt it was when he
started up the meat again he went bad & needed the yummy aroma of cooked
people.

Leonardo de Vinci was a lefty whiz at designing war machinery.
Shakespeare who noticed that meat-eating lowered intelligence was
therefore a lefty. FBI serial killer profiler John Douglas, who identified
killing animals as one of the three key early warning-behaviors of a
psychopath, is a lefty. Whoremongering technocrat H. G. Wells was a lefty.
Both Immanuel Kant & Fredrich Nietzsche were lefties (what a flash!) cuz
neither would eat meat. Carmen Electra & Tippi Hedrin, great leaders among
lefties cuz of their diet. Dwight Yoakum, all his lefty country tunes
make me sick. Elvira Mistress of the Night & Chester on Gunsmoke, great
lefty philosophers first & foremost. Faggoty ol' Ninjinski, total lefty,
couldn't even pirhouette to the right. Plato, bigtime lefty promoting
utopiuan vegan politics. The Reverand Fred "Wonderful Day in the
Neighborhood" Rogers baiting strangers' children into his pad with toys as
he rips off his clothes at the door, complete lefty spaz. William Shatner,
I can tell you as a lefty vegetarian myself, what a great leader of lefty
thinking he is to have on my side! Not to mention Sy Sperling, what a good
lefty gent, fighting for the love-lives of all fellow outcast baldheaded
geeks of the world but only if they're lefties, he would NEVER staple a
rug on the shiny pate of a rightwinger. Michael Jackson, not so much a
buggerer of chimps & small boys as merely a misunderstood lefty. Weird Al
Yankovitch, all those silly songs have hidden messages for the Left to
take over the world.

When Bobcat Goldthwait screams a joke like "I'll have your daughter home
by midnight -- in pieces in a bag!" it's cuz as a vegan, this makes him
such a funny lefty. And when Bruce Springsteen sings of patriotism, well
maybe it is indeed because he's a big lefty, therefore no one ever went to
hear him sing but a bunch of working class lefties & dont-ask-don't-tell
soldierboys who likewise refuse to eat meat. Oh! Oh! And Carmen Miranda,
ever notice how her fruitbowl hat always leaned a little LEFT ... it's cuz
she was a vegan (or was that fruitarian). Johnny Cash too, all his songs
stink to high heaven because of his progressiveness & vegetarianism. And
Leonard Cohen, good lord, you may have thought his "giving me head at the
foot of the bed" was his chief obsession, but leaving his politics out of
his tunes is a TRICK to bait you into his leftwing buddhahood & living in
the back of a van, oh those sneaky lefties. But stranger still is Meatloaf
-- should change his name to Nutloaf since he's a vegan, surely so far
left he's about to fall off the planet, not that he ever makes his
opinions known one way or t'other.

If the greater point is that rightwingers hate the planet & want to kill &
eat everything & everyone, therefore only bleedingheart lefties won't
bludgeon cattle, well, I'm not yet willing to believe that, even if
percentage-wise such an argument could be made. I've just never noticed
being rightwing OR eating meat COMPLETELY annihilated the possibility of
decency. And wouldn't this also make fat boozy meat-eaters like Ted
Kennedy right wingers? Also definitely NOT vegetarians are Saddam Hussein,
Presidente Marcos & his ugly wife Imelda -- maybe they'd've been good
people if only they'd stopped eating meat.

I begin to see how an unreasoning sod could come to the conclusion that
veggies = lefties! Since the Alberts -- Einstein & Schweitzer -- deplored
meat-eating as much as did Hans Christian Anderson, Ben Franklin, Charles
Darwin, Frank Zappa, Ghandi & Sir Isaac Newton, THEREFORE only decently
progressive super-geniuses are vegetarians, & that leaves out everyone on
the right! But golly, rightwingers should get over such self-loathing.
Plenty of people who decided not to eat meat are totally down with the
rightwing agenda. Many a "right to lifer" DOES extend that to being
vegetarian & not shooting doctors.
