Well if you want to drive a car, why don't you go out mine the ore for the steel, smelt that stuff, forge and engine, drill a well for oil to run it, and tap some rubber trees for the tires. Or is the cowardly way preferable?

This is the problem I have with a lot of vegans. They make statements like this, like they somehow strengthen their argument.
Would he be justified if he said "I'm a farmer, I eat all my own pigs"
Am I justified in saying "I killed 4 deer last fall, and they were all delicious" because I did, and they were.
What is the piont of your argument?
Is eating things inherently wrong, or is it only wrong if someone else kills it?
