If we're all being perfectly honest, the properly balanced vegan diet is the healthiest and best for longevity and quality of life. Unless your idea of quality is biting into a rare porterhouse twice a week, that is. I eat a minimal amount of meat for perfectly selfish health reasons as I'm not too sentimental about eating animals. That said, it seems common sense that most animals we eat commonly are capable of fear of pain and death.

I challenge all of you to listen to this and see if your steely eyed determination to eat lotsa meat wavers, if only a litle bit. Save the snide BS.
