friends are turnips & peas, not to mention fiddlehead greens & spinach
tossed w/ mushrooms, oil & garlic. I just think those who rabidly try to
remove the cow from the grass-cow-omnivore chain are fooling themselves
& missing out on some nutritious eating.

The above being a statement that only an animal-food addict would make.
I rest my case :-)
I know a LOT of 'vegans' who have been herbivores for decades, and I'll
bet we are a LOT healthier as a group than you and your animal-food addict
friends.
The last time I went to a doctor was about 1973, and I don't take any
non-recreational drugs EVER.

Well that explains your terminal ignorance, you've recreated away all but
about 2 braincells..
We are 'vegans' because it is a lot less work and a lot easier on the
environment.

Since your non-animal clothing isn't cruelty-free either,
here's a couple to cover some problems with cotton.

To give you an idea of the sheer number of animals in a field,
here's some sites about *just* mice and voles. Note that there
can be 100s to 1000s in each acre, not the whole field.

To cover your selfish pleasure of using usenet, and
maintaining a web page on same, here's are a couple
dealing with power and communications.

The personal health aspect is just a nice bonus.
You didn't go to madcowboy.com, did you?
Wouldn't want to read any science from people not in the pockets of
animal-
food addicts, I guess....
I wouldn't tell anyone that a person couldn't be healthy eating just
animal
products, so why do you feel the need to tell people that they can't be
healthy eating just plants?
Our teeth and digestive tracts bear a much greater resemblence to those of
herbivores than those of carnivores, so I would actually be able to make a
better case for that falsehood than you for yours....
