Someone is wrong on the internet! ;) In this case
Twitter / Search - #analogy: "Vegeterians are to vegans what agnostics are to atheists"
Sounds plausible at first, doesn't it? But that plausibility os built on sand: it presupposes that vegetarians are in it for animal rights and if that's the aim then one should go the full monte. However, quite a lot of us are in it because we believe the ecological footprint of meat production is too high and certainly can't allow 7 billion people to consume meat at the current western rate -we're, as a society over consuming and using our economic muscle and unfair economic structures to sustain it. However, that reason for vegetarianism wouldn't rule out some meat-eating in other conditions and some locavores who do eat meat, might use the same or similar reasoning.
Nous like scouse or French -oui? We wee whee all the way ... to mind us a bunch of thunks. Too much information? How could that be?
