Vegans Love Their Veggies…and Their Steak
8/25/11
While PETA, the Humane Society of the United States, and other animal rights groups and anti-hunting zealots aggressively promote veganism through numerous programs—including free courses supplied to schools and forced on kids and young minds across the US—seems their efforts are not lasting.
According to a recent study by Psychology Today, most vegetarians return to eating meat. Food & Wine magazine also recently profiled several meat-eating former vegans who now believe purchasing sustainable meat is a new form of activism. So, why the switch and obvious about-face?
Seems there are many health issues when humans try living like a rabbit. Becoming anemic, with dark circles and odd-colored skin, has plagued many who passed on beef or other meat sources. More details are at www.psychologytoday.com/blog/animals-and-us/201106/why-do-most-vegetarians-go-back-eating-meat.
For those who claim they will now only eat sustainable or organic meats, take note. We are quick to offer up that a deer, elk, squirrels, rabbits, bears, or pronghorn are food sources that rank at the top of the organic chart. Add to that list doves, pheasants, problem geese and that raccoon in the backyard, and you have a virtual smorgasbord in which to choose. A shopping trip to acquire these wonderful foods is called “hunting,” and in this meat-to-the-table process, collecting sounds like a sudden “bang” and nothing like the “ring” of a cash register. Any former vegans needing to learn how to “shop” can go to www.wheretohunt.org . We’ll be happy to let them borrow a sharp knife.
