They had best be careful with their undocumented health claims.

Our dentist, oral surgeon and orthodonist for decades have told us they know when a person is a real vegie nut by looking at their worn down teeth.

A whacked out liberal we know in Marin county became a vegie whacko about a decade ago. About two years into vegie insanity, she developed a lot of serious medical problems. Her two older non veggie sisters in Canada had none of her problems.

A couple of years ago an internist told her that her insanity re being vegie nut was killing her, and she should find another doctor if she continue her veggie insanity.

She went back to a normal moderate diet and is healthy again like her sisters except for the dental damage to her teeth.

PETA has way too much power. I just wish these people would go away. Just all get the hell out of my country.

Well Pamela Anderson is one of PETA’s more well-known members. And she has hepatitis, either from her tattoos or from her sex life. So perhaps she (and people like her) should be charged more for their at-risk lifestyle?

A child must have red meat protein or they’ll grow up to be idiots. Reckon PETA is well aware of this?

There are many ways to get the proper protein for kids to grow up strong, and smart without eating red meat.

Educate yourself....just a wee bit.

If I didn't eat protein from meat at least 2X a day I would have a daily migraine headache. Meat protein keeps your blood sugar stable, diabetics benefit from it as well.

Well, excuse me but when I eat beef, I am helping to rid the world of known methane producers!

PETA on the other hand would wipe out all the greenery that reduces the CO2 content from our atmosphere!!

PETA wants us to burn!!!

A friend of mine told me about that... disgusting... I could hardly believe someone in their right mind would propose something like that... of course coming from PETA...

There is no reason why we should pay bigger premiums. This is from nutjobs.

LOL!!!

McNut can now run for president of Panama in May.

The problem is Panamanians, while thrilled he would be the first Panamanian to become U.S. president, they don’t want him to become president of Panama either.

LOL!!!

The average Panamanian is not stupid.

I love it.

“How’s the weather in Panama?”

Beautiful.

We are in raining season right now which lasts 9 months. Then comes dry season (about the 1st of January) which I hate. But it only lasts only 3 months. As a matter of fact, it is raining as I type.

Because it is not a cold rain, few folks own umbrellas. We just walk in the rain.

Talk about paradise. I am so lucky to live here.

And gay vegetarians should pay even higher premiums.

(resisting the urge to make a joke about gays eating meat....)

Do those of us who are borderline anemic both in iron and B12 and who depend on meat in our diets to provide these nutrients get an exemption?

PETA and the anti-Prop8 queens and dykes are not going to be invited guests to Obama’s ordination, whoops, inauguration.
