Guest guest Posted December 5, 1999 Report Share Posted December 5, 1999 Thank you for participating Carol! I wish I could fly you in for our brunches! Okay I'll go next... > I love animals because... they are all amazing and intriguing, thinking, feeling, complex creatures > I think Pythagoras is cool because... he is the father of vegetarianism and because he recognized so long ago that " As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love. " > My favourite vegetarian restaraunt in my area is...

Howard Lyman http://www.veganstreet.com/community/lyman.html > A website that has really inspired me is... http://www.veganoutreach.org/ > Meat-eaters... need to be fully and accurately informed about the practices of the industries they support and how the food they eat exacts a heavy toll on their health, the environment, and the animals. > My favourite vegan junk food is...

Guest guest Posted December 6, 1999 Report Share Posted December 6, 1999 I love animals because...they are intelligent, spiritual beings that fascinate me with their instincts and wisdom and capacity for love. Except crocodiles...they fascinate but frighten me! I think Pythagoras is cool because...Paul and Anji tell me hes the founder of vegetarianism, but I too thought he was just some math guy who made things complicated. My favourite vegetarian restaraunt in my area is...hmmm, Juice for life (in Toronto) is ok, but I have to say that OK HEALTH in Kensington market is the most original! Sometimes when I think of all the animals being exploited I...freak out and want to start a animal liberation revolution. The best thing about being veg*n is...feeling healthy, feeling guilt free about my food choices, and eating my friends' great vegan food! The trouble with being veg*n is...living in a world where animals are valued per pound. A book that has really inspired me is...Howard Lymans Mad Cowboy and the book Vegan- New Ethics in Eating..I forget who by. A person who has really inspired me is my friends Anji, Paul and Anthony. Thank you. Meat-eaters...are in denial of the brainwashing by the horrible outdated propaganda campaign by the Meat and Dairy Industries. They are dying from it and killing the planet for it, and thats sad! My favourite vegan junk food is...vegan (pure) chocolate and also tofutti or rice dream! My favourite vegan dish is... spicy guacamole. McDonalds sucks because...it teaches kids to manipulate parents, that hamburgers grow on trees, that happy meals and fun and not the diseased sick rotting flesh of animals. I could go on... I joined Planet-Vegan because...Its a wonderful way to keep in touch and learn from other vegans. My favourite famous vegetarian is... Leonardo Da Vinci and Mopa Dean from CIUT. My plan to change the world is...to spread awareness about living a life of compassion and non-violence towards ALL fellow beings. Special bonus trivia question!!! Who said: " Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet " ??? Well Im cheating because Anji told me this one already.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 1999 Report Share Posted December 8, 1999 Hey I think receiving this message means that I am somehow back on the planet Vegan mail list! Is this a good thing? *LOL* Talk to you guys soon. Okay, I couldn't pass this one up ... this was in the news in the past month or so ... two hunters go hunting, I think father and son or some shit like that and the son accidentally shoots pop, gets fucked up and shoots himself .... eventually pops comes to and realizes that son shot himself ... not sure if pop shoots himself, but everyone is going around saying that this is a big tragedy. I think it's a victory for the pro animal and anti gun movement. What do you guys think? I love hearing stories like that, about hunting accidents and stuff like that. It makes me feel just groovy! K, so everyone has to mail in their feelings on this one, fair?

Guest guest Posted December 8, 1999 Report Share Posted December 8, 1999 I love animals because... when I see Kyle and Blue cleaning each other and then have a play fight and look over at Vishnu and she has that look of disdain on her face, it fills my heart with joy. I think Pythagoras is cool because... the true true secret of the tetractys and the 47th problem of euclid is that beans make you fart. My favourite vegetarian restaraunt in my area is... O.K. Health on augusta at college. Sometimes when I think of all the animals being exploited I... #@!$%#@!#* & ^%$#@@#$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best thing about being veg*n is... energy, peace... I feel like a giant weight has lifted from my concience. The trouble with being veg*n is... All the spagetti with tomato sauce I'm forced to eat on the road. A book that has really inspired me is... Vegan Vittles, who knew you could make tastier sour cream out of tofu, tahini and lemon than actual sour cream. All the mysteries of life get revealed when you go vegan. A person who has really inspired me is... My girlfriend Anji. Meat-eaters... will hopefully come around before they clog their colon or suffer the effects of e.coli or any of the other popular food poisonings going on these days. My favourite vegan junk food is... Tropical Source chocolate bars, esp. Hazelnut Espresso Crunch. My favourite vegan dish is... " green goddess " at Juice For Life on Bloor Street. McDonalds sucks because... 99 billion can be wrong...... very wrong. I joined Planet-Vegan because... an exchange of thought with like minded people is always a good idea. Also my girlfriend Anji told me to..... or else! My favourite famous vegetarian is... Me......no just kidding. Pythagoras. My plan to change the world is... Start with me and hopefully lead by example..... or just start bossing people around and telling them what to do. Special bonus trivia question!!! Who said: " Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet " ???
