Vegan (alt.food.vegan) This newsgroup exists to share ideas and issues of concern among vegans. We are always happy to share our recipes- perhaps especially with omnivores who are simply curious- or even better, accomodating a vegan guest for a meal!

Strawman. My tastes haven't changed (nor have my politics, which is why
I was never vegan to begin with). I'd noted that I would probably resume
eating fish -- much to the outrage of both Lesley and Zakhar -- in posts
from that same era.

You've claimed that your change in stance was
because you learned something from your mistakes,
yet part of this change seems to have altered your
taste for certain foods as well, so it's clear you're
not telling the truth about this alleged learning from
your mistakes because learning from one's mistakes
cannot change one's taste in food as well.

In these quotes below you state that you dislike flesh,
so how does learning from your mistakes suddenly
change your tastes for food items? You also state
that you believe the consumption of meat, dairy and
eggs are bad for you, animals, your environment, and
the whole World, but you sing a different tune now
you've become a meat pusher, so how did learning
from mistakes do that, pusher?

a long, healthy life, and I think the consumption of

selfish? Perhaps to some people. Do the other,
more selfless consequences of my diet (no animal
must die for my nourishment or enjoyment, less
pollution and less harm to the environment, etc.)
mitigate the selfish notion of wanting to live long
and without serious health problems associated with
an animal-based diet?"

vegetables, legumes; indeed, you must first raise the
latter to fatten the former. Skip the former entirely
and you have much more of the latter to feed the
world."

Those quotes belie your current pusher's position, and
no amount of regret will ever undo the hypocrisy of it.

Correct.

Seems? Is that the best you can do, fatso?

Which foods would those be, Nash? I'd already noted in afv, aaev, and
tpa that I'd probably consume fish again. Other than the fish I ate last
week, my diet is virtually unchanged. I consume dairy only when my
girlfriend cooks something with it (non-fat yogurt or skim milk), and
I've had processed foods (e.g., fake Italian sausage) with egg whites
maybe three times in the last year.

> so it's clear you're


The only thing that's clear is you cannot get past shit-stirring.

I wrote 'seems' because I don't believe one's taste in
foods can change by learning something from one's
mistakes.

The foods I mentioned which are in your quotes
that you keep snipping away.

In these quotes below you state that you dislike flesh,
so how does learning from your mistakes suddenly
change your tastes for food items? You also state
that you believe the consumption of meat, dairy and
eggs are bad for you, animals, your environment, and

Nobody believes that changing one's position on something makes you a liar

Quite easily, he was parroting things that vegans typically say. Once he
starting examining veganism objectively those statements no longer rang
true, so he discarded them. When you speak from your own mind you say
different things than when you are acting as a mouthpiece.

Strawman. When did my tastes ever change? I ate two servings of spicy
tuna. Other than that, my diet is unchanged for the same reasons given
in the past, you fat ****.

Other than consuming a couple servings of sashimi two weeks ago, how has
