I don't know, I have a good friend who is a former Marine, a gun enthusiast and a Conservative who is a vegetarian.

The reason he is a vegetarian is that he is a retired Doctor of Veteranary Medicine and is well informed about the antibiotics and hormones that our meat (particularly beef) get so as to get big and fat fast and not get sick before they are sent to market. He thinks that if he eats these meats he is ingesting these drugs which would be less than beneficial to his long term health.

I don't know if I buy his rationale, but I certainly won't debate it with him. Furthermore he doesn't care whether I eat meat or not.

But if you get stuck on Donner Pass with him (he actually lives nearby), I wouldn't recommend trying to eat him.

Anthropophagy aside, if a vegan and a non-vegan were in a cold weather survival situation, the non-vegan who have a much better chance of surviving. In cold weather, fat is where it's at and meat is the the readiest source of fats you would likely be able to find.

But your friend sounds like he wouldn't mind wild meat, and smart enough to know that for his health, starvation is a more immediate threat.

I was Positive someone would answer what was obviously hyperbole.
