Not to mention the comment was absurd in the first place.

eh, I grew up with fresh gardens and in the summer there were times when meat just wasn't needed for a fabulous meal.
Fresh corn on the cob (with butter of course), green beans (cooked with fatback), fried taters (more butter) a salad with fresh lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes to go with my favorite: yellow squash, zucchini, onions and peppers marinated in italian dressing and grilled in one of those aluminum foil bag things was all I needed. Couldn't go without meat for long though.
No arguing that you can eat that way, but the man that would choose that over a butter soaked piping hot cowboy cut bone in ribeye from Ruths Chris has issues.

This is what is necessary to remain fully healthy.
The above is, actually, a completely inaccurate statement. An appropriate vegetarian diet that includes vitamin B12 can meet all human dietary needs.
My agreement with the "PETA-folks" rests solely in the treatment of our livestock. There is absolutely no need to torture animals in order for us to eat. If you don't agree that inhumane treatment of animals is rampant in our society, then you are either uneducated or blind.
To me, the killing of an animal is itself to a certain extent inhumane. And we torture other humans and some people see nothing wrong with that. I just don't get the fuss. I'm all for doing the best we can to make that process as easy as possible on the animals, but in the grand scheme of things, we are killing and eating them. This to me has more to do with some people's guilt factor involving that very thing than it does any ethical treatment of animals. If it were ethical, you'd be chasing them down yourself with a spear.
I ate at J.D. Legends tonight. I had a delicious Kentucky Hot Brown, fries, and chicken strips for an appetizer. The waitress assured me the chicken, hog, and turkey were given a quick and timely ending.
