ApriliaRufo said:I don't believe that all vegans are nuts, I just don't agree that we should only eat raw vegetables. If animals eat other animals, we are ok with it, but for some reason people get upset over humans eating animals. It just seems weird to me that people who own reptiles and must feed whole prey would ever be vegan. Isn't it kind of hypocritical? Dunno just throwing it out there. Being vegan wouldn't make me like a person or respect a person less, I just don't agree with it. If I can feed my tegu a mouse, my snake a rabbit, then I can eat a steak. I believe that too much meat is bad for you, but then again, too much of anything is bad for you.

Its funny how it turns into an "us versus them" kind of mentality because so many people have had negative experiences with a few radical people (who represent only a very small portion of people choosing to live a vegan lifestyle)
and the only point I was trying to make about the raw veggies comment is that there is a whole world of food out there that is not meat product but not necissarily raw veggies: pizza, pasta, breads, various deserts, soups, and that being a vegan doesn't mean you only eat raw veggies to the exclusion of these other yummy things. There are people who only eat raw food (I know a couple) but that's an extension and not the definition of vegan
