From Jimmy4's link:
"How do you think they get rid of bugs that eat crops in large fields? You think they just put up signs and ask parasites to politely go somewhere else? Actually, I wouldn't put that suggestion past you hippies."
I thought that was pretty funny. I am no vegetarian in any sense of the word, but I personally try to not eat too much meat. I did read Fast Food Nation and was pretty repulsed by the whole industry. It's really nothing I get righteous about, just eating meat sometimes grosses me out now, psycologically. I feel I also have less chance of getting e. coli or some other poop disease if I find alternatives to meat. People CAN get e. coli from vegetables, but I'd be willing to bet that veggies are still safer. Also I think it's common practice to feed animals parts of their own species, I doubt that can be safe.
An interesting side note from Fast Food Nation, Willard Scott was the first Ronald McDonald, but they replaced him because they wanted a skinny Ronald, to downplay the fact that McDonald's can get people fat.
