Sometimes I feel ready to start my slide down the slope of vegetarianism. I think all it would take is seeing one of those PETA videos to set me off.

I’m sure a trip to an “assembly line” commercial farm would do it, too.

Oh, this almost did it while surfing Wikipedia one day:

Oh, I always have something to rant about - that is, when my pathetic vegetarian fingers are strong enough to type.
