That's right. When aniamls are slaughtered, every single part of their poor bodies are used for human
consumption i.e. sausages, franks, pâtés, gelatine etc.

Maybe but there are still alot of omnis that are stuck in the mindset of not wanting to know all the gory specific details. Try telling someone exactly what's in a hotdog and they'll quickly try to shut you up because they'd rather live in denial .

yes, someone got annoyed at me over a comment about hot-dogs, on another forum, and I think it got under his skin, judging by his later comments....this is someone who considered(he's dead now) himself a sceptic, someone who prides themselves in being rational, or thinking they are, and what is or isn't the truth, yet they couldn't handle a fairly factual statement about hot-dogs.
I can understand why they would be defensive, they probably ate hot-dogs as a kid going to baseball matches and stuff....but still...

From my Facebook news feed:
"I have, no word of a lie, received a leaflet through my door about "save the Turkeys" and imploring me to go veggie this year. I'm going to drum up some leaflets on eating meat, take some pictures of a gorgeous roast, and put them through their door and see how they like it. Still, could've been worse, could've been Mormons at my door."
The comments are as bad.

I try to refrain from posting graphic pictures on my page, but this would have been the time I would have posted the goriest picture I could find on that thread with the message: Yes, how terrible that someone didn't want a turkey to suffer; how dare they show some compassion.

It was the outright indignation about a leaflet in the mail that baffled me. I get about twenty of the things a week, and you know what I do? Glance at them and recycle it if I'm not interested, instead of making Facebook statuses about how I hate pizza places and furniture sales and the local church groups. Nobody accosted him in the street, nobody stole all the meat from his house, it was a piece of paper explaining the horrors of turkey farming. I think he was actually a little disturbed and went on the defensive, to be honest. At least, I hope that's the case.

On another forum I go to, someone was asking advise on how to become a vegetarian.
Sigh. NO one can ever see my POV can't they. always locked up in their little world. Anyways, what i meant to say was, theres no use crying over spilled milk. Its like saying, "oh hey, look, they're tearing down all these trees to build a mall. BOoohoooo" . its pointless bro.
Also, its an animal. Theres no use crying over killing an animal. people die all the time, yet nobody cares about them. Only in america do people care about killing animals. There are HUMAN BEINGS dying out there right now, and all you care about is a stupid cow, who will probably die in the next year because of all the GMO's its fed, and you complain about it.
Get your priorities straight.
He posted a bunch more posts like this as well, lol.
This was my favorite though
"I have no qualms against Vegetarians or Vegans, but this right here needs to be addressed. You need proteins in your body that can only be found in meat, yes you can take certain pills for a replacement but that brings me to my next point, they don't include fat. Before you go saying fat is bad I would like to point out that we as humans need a thin layer of fat that surrounds vital organs. I'm not saying gorge yourself with butter and lard, but Meat is FAR from unhealthy. Eggs contain high cholesterol but eating eggs for breakfast every week hasn't shown to increase risk of heart disease, and if anything egg whites contain no cholesterol at all.
I'm not trying to discourage Vegetarianism, but I don't like it when certain facts are hidden to persuade the side."
Like getting protein and fat is so hard as a vegan!
Especially fat. I could lose some pounds

That happens to be the foundation of environmentalism...
Considering that there are far more vegetarians in other countries than America... India... even most European countries... this one is just plain stupid.
Then gee, maybe, I don't know, DON'T feed it the GMOs that are killing it!?
The stupidity of humanity kills me sometimes, without the need of GMOs.

'Oh you know eggs ARE vegetarian because you see the eggs you buy in shops don't have chicks inside, they won't grow'
OH THANKS FOR EDUCATING ME OH WISE ONE!
As if telling me something I've known since I was 3 is going to make me eat eggs. I know this seems petty but it came from a woman who has managed to raise a son who thinks fish aren't animals, but are actually mammals so she can **** off with telling me her knowledges.
Edit: you know I think if we hadn't been interrupted she might have actually started explaining to me that you need a cockerel to fertilise eggs...it's like working with a 5 year old except she's 50.

Just the ridiculous amount of people who think that either common knowledge or stupid assumptions are going to make others change their well-grounded and well-thought-out lifestyles is absolutely staggering to me sometimes.
Oh, my god, I've been getting this one a lot lately. I want to scream at them...THEN STOP ALREADY! The minute I even start to mention "factory farming," they go into denial/don't want to hear it mode. It makes me so angry.
