Sarah Palin and her philosophy on meat…?

Question:
Direct quote from Sarah Palin’s new book: “If any vegans came over for dinner, I could whip them up a salad, then explain my philosophy on being a carnivore: If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat?”

^What do you think of this quote?^

I haven’t read the book. I saw this website on ThinkAtheist and I wanted to see opinions. The very fact that I didn’t kill myself should be proof enough that I DID NOT read the book…

Vegans, how do you reconcile your philosophy with living in houses, apartments, etc?

Question:
Given that Vegans are against any kind of cruelty to animals, and some even extend it to condemning the ownership of pets, how do you live in your home knowing that animals were displaced from their homes in the development of the land?
GreatBuddha: Huts are homes, too. However, far fewer animals would be displaced if we just set up huts in open fields and gathered berries. So in the balance, huts win. And why else are people vegans? Enlighten me. It requires an awful lot of effort to make the vegan diet anywhere near as healthy as, say, a vegetarian diet that allows milk, eggs, and cheese. If it’s not concern for the animals, then what is it?

Philosophy of Vegans?

Question:
Im not trying to insult vegans, im just wondering why they refuse to eat animal products. If the animal does not get killed to collect it then why doo they object?

Why does anyone care about philosophy when there much more important things to worry about, such as?

Question:
