Hey - I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals. I'm a vegatarian because
I hate plants. :)

Well now, here's the problem. Some people here don't comprehend
the difference between quality and quantity. If you're not healthy (fit
and healthy) its hard to comprehend the exilaration of an animal in
its activities. We all had it in our youth, but junk food and sedentary
activities gradually stripped it away. I went to a dog convention of
sorts a while back. I have never seen a worse looking sorry group of
physical misfits in my life. I realized that these people who have
so neglected their own health now look to their pet - who won't
judge them. Instead of doing something about it - they look to areas
of socialization that won't put any pressure on them to change. I guess
that's really it. Its just so hard to change something you are comfortable
with.

That's not even worth commenting on.
