    Well, true. It's not like that is "conservation".

    While not necessarily agreeing with the article, I do find it interesting when someone offers an opinion you didn't expect.

    I guess it shouldn't, because ideas should stand on their own, but it does kind of make you stop and consider it for a second longer, in my opinion. Similar to how white people do the social media happy dance whenever a black person criticizes other black people.

    That's kind of the direction I see it going. My next thought is usually to wonder if our ability to reason and empathize might eventually hasten our extinction.

    Kinda surprised at that one ... not really his/her bailiwick.

    Was it St. Francis of Assisi? Sounds like him.

    There many varieties of livestock that exist because we consume products derived from them.

    Wild cattle would still exist in limited quantities as they do now, but beef and dairy cattle would not exist if we stopped consuming beef and dairy.

    Good option for the vegetarians attending your Memorial Day cookout:

    Andy Wiederhorn wants to sell bacon to vegetarians.

    That’s the idea, anyway, behind the Hypocrite Burger -- a veggie patty topped by two strips of bacon. Wiederhorn, chief executive officer of Beverly Hills, California-based Fatburger Corp., is pushing sales of the sandwich in his 200 fast-food restaurants to take advantage of wholesale prices that dropped about two-thirds from a year ago.

    “We want to add bacon to everything we sell,” he said. “People like it.”

    I am not a vegetarian, but I do like a good veggie burger.
    So I'm assuming they're trying to sell that to people like me and not to vegetarians.
