Hey ... the guys at the Tactical Advanced Acronym Research Division don't take kindly to having their work disrespected.

FTFY

I guess it's time to go back to Archie.

Google turns up a lot of sites that paraphrase the above research (and for some reason I have trouble believing a site called "biblelife.org" is fully committed to scientific fact), but no sites showing the research paper itself. You happen to have a link?

Five times and counting ... you?

I think you're confusing militant, political vegans with people who happen to choose a vegetarian lifestyle for their own personal reasons. I'm an omnivore, but I know lots of vegetarians (some of them very closely) who frankly don't give a shit what you eat or what I eat. They aren't looking to dehumanize anyone. They are looking - and this is literally all they are looking for - to have themselves a decent meal that suits their preferences.

Okay, so persuade me.

Find me the links to the study that confirms "in fact this so-called vegetarian diet contains as much or even more animal protein as the average Western diet that consumes red meat." I mean if I'm all about misrepresentation, then you should have little trouble proving me wrong.

The fact you would conflate Indian and Chinese traditional diets reveals you to be breathtakingly ignorant, but I'll tell you what sport: since you allude to an "examination" of these diets then you should have little trouble linking to the studies that support what you're saying.

Or is it that you're just full of shit?

Couldn't Google simply choose not to advertise on that page?

... or Wikipedia could just refuse to pay a single penny, and go ahead and let that ISP cut them off (or degrade the performance to the point of frustration/unusability). Within 2 days that ISP's support lines would be flooded with angry callers wondering what happened to the source of information they pretty much rely on to run their lives.

Is it too late to answer Palm?

I think we are increasingly moving toward a model where people will subscribe to sources of information/entertainment if they don't want to see the ads, or they will get a free version that includes ads (and possibly presents other limitations in format or content).

Wouldn't surprise me to see Wikipedia go this way.

There are hundreds of millions of people on the Indian subcontinent alone who eat no meat - none whatsoever - from the moment they are born until the moment they die some 80 years later. They do not get horribly sick. They do not "wind up" eating fish or chicken. They live healthy, balanced, and lengthy lives.

Fact.

The key is to become a level 7 vegan - don't eat anything that casts a shadow.

It may or may not, depending on how the airline is currently trying to balance revenue, load factor, etc. IME many of the airlines run crazy seat sales every now and again, but unfortunately they're not consistent.
