Default report on PETA

I personally love the deer in the headlights look I get when I remind such
goodie two shoes that their vegetarian diet is also made up of living
organisms that were also surely treated with pesticide of some sort to kill
all the bugs on them prior to harvesting.

So I agree, most of them are snooty acting hypocrites.


I was on a service call in a Whole Foods Market. This chain of stores
caters to the health food crowd. I was in the meat market and a lady
walks up to the service meat counter.

Customer: "Are these chickens free range?"
Employee: "Why yes ma'am, Whole Foods sells only the best free range
chickens."
Customer: "Oh, that's too bad, I'll have to buy my chickens somewhere
else..."
Employee: "I'm sorry ma'am, most people don't like the idea of chickens
being raised in a tiny cage, may I ask why you don't like free range
chikens?"
Customer: "When a chicken is raised free range, you never know what they
have been eating, they have probably eaten a lot of bugs!"

We both about choked trying not to laugh in her face! Is this a partial
step towards vegetarianism.... Only eat meat that has never eaten meat?
