Hahaha. I found this good things that I found on this my new favorite site

Ten stupid questions vegans get asked 
The following is a list of stupid questions that vegans get asked with some tongue-in-cheek responses for your entertainment. Please note, I could go into immense detail to seriously address each and every one of these questions, but I will save that for later FAQs. Enjoy!

1) Don't you miss cheese?

I miss cheese about as much as I miss drinking Pepto-Bismol as a kid. 

2) If everyone went vegan, wouldn't animals take over the world?

Yes, animals would take over the world and cows would be breaking down our doors! You do realize that these animals exist only because we breed them into existence, right?

3) Aren't you hurting plants?

Plants do not have central nervous systems, therefore are not sentient, therefore do not feel pain. C'mon, really? 

4) Where do you get your protein?

Newsflash!! Almost ALL foods contain protein and guess what? We don't even need to combine them! This question must be straight out of 1983.

5) Do you eat fish?

Biology 101: Fish belong to the ANIMAL kingdom.

6) Wouldn't cows explode if we didn't milk them?

Why don't you go ask a mother that did not breast feed if her breasts are still intact. The only reason cows GIVE milk is because they are pregnant. Again, Biology 101.

7) Why don't you care about people?

I don't know about you, but I am capable of caring about more than one thing at a time. I guess someone with two children can only care about one of them with that logic.

8) Where do you get calcium if you don't drink milk?

Broccoli, brussels sprouts and most leafy greens offer more available calcium than cow's milk. Brussels sprouts clock in at around 68% absorption and I believe cow's milk clocks in somewhere around 32%. Where do you think cultures that don't drink milk get their calcium, dummy?

9) What do you eat, like salads and tofu?

Sometimes I throw in some iceberg lettuce for variety!

10) Isn't it hard being vegan?

Isn't it hard ripping through the greasy crust of a chicken wing, chewing around the cartilage, then picking the tendons out of your teeth afterwards? The only thing hard about being vegan is dealing with all these stupid, nonsensical questions.

so please fellas. dont ask me anymore.

Thank's Ed for letting me to post this :P

PLEASE SAY NO TO FOIE GRAS

Have you ever eaten DUCK LIVER A.K.A FOIE GRAS?
Do you know what that is?
Well,

FOIE GRAS: fatty liver for geese and ducks

You don't wanna eat that, why?
Let me tell you a little fact about FOIE GRAS.

1. They sex the ducks, and THROW THE GIRL DUCKS INTO THE GARBAGE!!!!, cuz they cant produce a good liver.
2. They will KILL THE SMALL DUCKS because they say it wont givea good liver quality, by BASHING THEIR HEAD TO THE WALL or STEP ON THEIR NECKS.
3. They keep the ducks in a small pen, they can't barely move
4. They force feed the ducks, wanna know how? the feeder grabs each bird and stick the metal pipe of the feeding machine down the birds' throat. The machine pumps a huge amount of a mixture of corn and oil directly into their gullets in just a few seconds, equivalent to 1:4 to 1:3 of their own body weight each day. 
5. Within weeks they will be overweight
6. Their livers will swell up 10x their normal size. That cause breathing stress due to decreased air sac space in their lungs, and forcing the legs to move outward at an awkward angle.
7. Ducks panting and struggling to stand, using their wings to push themselves forward when their cripple legs can no longer support them.
That causes fester on their legs and chest.
8. They sometimes die because of that barbaric throat stick thingy.
9. FYI SOMETIMES, shortly after birth, they CUT their BEAKS off...to prevent debilled ducks.
10. Then, they will hang the poor little creatures upside down and cut their throat
11. Ducks cant defense theirselves when animals like rats trying to harm them cause they can't barely move.

Sometimes the ducks die during the force feeding progress...
Ducks in FOIE GRAS poultry are emotionally and physically tortured.
