Could a vegetarian win the Presidency

9. as a vegan

i know first hand the strange reactions you get from some people. Many people get defensive even if you don't go into your reasons for being vegan, many start immediately with the ridicule because they feel threatened with having to face what is for many an extreme example of hypocrisy. I know people who consider themselves animal lovers who don't have a second thought about buying food from factory farming operations.

What they really mean to say is that they are pet lovers, people who enjoy having pets, closing their minds to the fact that every time they buy bacon, ham, beef, whatever, they are contracting for the gruesome death and even more ghastly and brutal tortured short life of, for example, a pig, who if you've ever known one, you know they are smart friendly interesting and interested four legged fellow mortals of ours.
