(4,187 posts)Avoid telling people what to do. It's condescending. If you don't like my posts, feel free not to read them. Note that there is a convenient "ignore" feature. I have as much right to post here as anyone else about an issue I consider important. It is as harmful to third parties' health to support the factory-farming industry as it is to smoke in public places. There is nothing to be proud of about knowingly supporting an industry that commits torture and cruelty, pollutes the environment for everyone, and puts everyone's health at risk. It is not people who point this out who need to be lectured or told to shut up and mind their own business.
I really couldn't care less about what kind of diet you follow. That's your business, and yours alone. It's interesting that so many people see my OP as telling them how they should eat. So many people clearly responded to this thread without actually bothering to read the OP.
