Some are talking about what a waste this is, and yes I realize that, but going to things like this is always the only time I can ever be around other people who have any grasp of what's up. Of course almost everyone there will be a meat-headed meat-defender, just like all the perfect examples at DU.

Deep greens say nothing the regular consumer can do matters, including taking action, or voting. But those same people are as strongly in denial as the rest of the consumers about their precious "meat"

"If you find a way to help stop climate change, they'll call you "genius."
If you explain how we can replant every forest on earth, they'll call you "hero."
If you lead the fight to feed the world's hungry, they'll call you "saint."
If every day you fight to save our dying oceans, they'll call you "champion."
If you advance a way to stop cancer and heart disease, they'll call you "healer."
If you live selflessly so that others may simply live, they'll admire your character.
If you teach others the key to saving life on earth, they'll raise you on their shoulders.
If you do all of these things, they simply call you "vegan."
