Default The Human "Omnivore": a mythological beast

It is not unnatural to use tools, and we are meant to eat meat. Apart from
that, your thesis as stated above was very well thought out.


Vegetarians are responsible for far, far more animal deaths than meat
eaters.

But of course, rodents are the Untermenschen of the animal kingdom to
someone with a simplistic, anthropomorphising, Disneyesque view of animals.

What would you do? Allow mice, rats and rabbits to feed and multiply until
there were so many that they ate almost all of the grain and spoiled what
they didn't with faeces? Or kill them?

If you don't want to eat meat, then that's your lookout. But where did you
get the idea from that the rest of us want to be lectured by a monomaniacal
browbeating harridan?

Anyway I'd love to chat for longer but you've made me feel peckish so I'm
off down the KFC.
