World's Most Perplexing Math Problems

This week on World's Most Perplexing Math Problems: "More than 99% of all meat in the U.S. comes from animals raised in factory farms. Yet nearly all meat-eaters tell vegans that they exclusively eat humanely-raised meat. Explain."

Maybe it is time to change

"Standing up for children is expected, it is the morally right thing to do. Advocating for dogs, cats, and wildlife is accepted, it justifiable to quite a few. So why is speaking out for farm animals extreme, why is it pushing a 'point of view?' Maybe it is time to change this perspective, because their lives matter too!"

Why keep looking?

Cage- free
Free-range
Grass-fed
Humane

Why keep looking or the right way to do the wrong thing?

Not a choice

Not a choice: Veganism is no more a choice than being against child molestation, rape, human slavery, murder, or any other atrocity.

One day the absurdity will be palpable

"One day the absurdity of the almost universal human belief in the slavery of other animals will be palpable. We shall then have discovered our souls and become worthier of sharing this planet with them." -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Non-vegan Ethics

Let's move forward

"As a vegan I'm not really interested in discussing what type of diet our caveman ancestors ate, or whether God put animals here for us to eat, or if we can obtain enough protein from a plant-based diet, or if humans are biologically herbivore or omnivore. These are tired arguments. What we should be discussing is how we can move forward and evolve as a race. The killing of billions of animals every year for food and clothing has helped put this planet and its inhabitants in the crisis situation that we're now faced with. And Veganism offers a solution. Global warming, the declining health of our population, polluted waterways and depleted soil, fished out oceans, starvation in poor countries, species extinction and rain forest destruction are but a few of the problems that can be addressed and remedied if more people embraced a vegan lifestyle. 
This is why being vegan is so important...it offers viable solutions and compassionate answers. It saves lives...not only the animals but very likely our own. The human race has backed itself into a corner, veganism offers a way out. Lets move forward." -Rich Lysloff

What if people really were hardwired

What if people really were hardwired to eat meat?

Passenger: Ooh, look! Roadkill! Let's Stop and grab a bite!

Driver: Is that a raccoon? Yum!

Protein deficiency is incredibly rare

"Proteing deficiency is incredibly rare. Hearth disease, on the other hand, is the leading cause of death worldwide.

Asking vegans to respect your decision

"Asking vegans to respect your decision to eat meat is on par with asking feminists to respect sexists, asking people of color to respect racists, and asking homosexuals to respect homophobes. It is ludicrous to think that difference in opinion warrants mutual respect, especially when the opposing opinion in question not only stand for everything you are against but also appropriates suffering, defends oppression, and encourages the continuance of exploitation." -Felix Sampson

The industry has to keep it hidden

"Most people can't bear the sight of an animal suffering. So the industry has to keep it hidden in order for people to keep eating animals. Be courageous. Open your eyes." -VeganStreet.com

What You See - What I See

Howard Lyman- To be an environmentalist

"To be an environmentalist who happens to eat meat is like being a philanthropist who doesn't happen to give to charity." -Howard Lyman

Philip Wollen- We Torture And Kill

"We torture and kill two billion sentient living beings every week. 10,000 entire species are wiped out every year because of the actions of one, and we are no facing the sixth mass extinction in cosmological history. If any other organism did this, a biologist would consider them a virus." -Philip Wollen

Gary Smith- 150 years ago

"150 years ago, they would have thought you were absurd if you advocated for the end of slavery. 100 years ago, they would have laughed at you for suggesting that women should have the right to vote. 50 years ago, they would object to the idea of African Americans receiving equal rights under the law. 25 years ago they would have called you a pervert if you advocated for gay rights. They laugh at us now for suggesting that animal slavery be ended. Some day they won't be laughing." ~ Gary Smith

Plutarch- But for the sake of some little mouthful

"But for the sake of some little mouthful of flesh we deprive a soul of the sun and light, and of that proportion of life and time it had been born into the world to enjoy." ~ Plutarch
