    I have a gut feeling that if this goes anywhere it won't go anywhere good.

    Do you start eating a muffin before removing the little muffin sleeve or after removing the little muffin sleeve?

    I take the paper off. Eat the bottom of the muffin. Then the top. Then the paper.

    But I'm not vegan.

    No, I havent! I was never a cheesecake fan, so even if it's vegan I will avoid it. But do invite me to the wedding! So long as there is cake, too;)

    I'm on a paper-free diet, so I only eat paper-free muffins. Homever, I usually eat the muffin top to bottom. For cupcakes, I lick the frosting off and then eat the cake part like the muffin. (Or I wipe the frosting off and give it to my cat, because I hate frosting)

    being a vegan is fine.... and just like anything else (religion, politics, enviromentalism etc.), keep it as your own value.

    I gotta believe that eating lower on the food chain would solve an entire host of issues.

    Ooh that's a tough one. I'd have to go by meals for this:
    Breakfast: Peppermint Banana Waffles with maple syrup
    Snack: dried figs
    Lunch: Lentil soup with sourdough bread and pico de gallo
    Dinner: Huge burrito with blackbeans, chickpeas, avocado, rice, and more pico de gallo
    Dessert: Oatmeal raison walnut cookie topped with a spoonful of molasses

    Do you abstain from eating cheerios or do you accept that some products are close enough ?

    Btw I will eat cheerios but it does bother me more from a perfectionist point of view.

    My question is this: Why vegan (or vegetarian)?

    I do not understand why people choose to be vegetarian or vegan. I know it's not for me though.
    I am not judging one bit....many times I have shared a cheese pizza or a black-bean burger (which tastes amazingly like a chili burger - hold the ground beef) with a vegetarian friend.

    I do not understand why people choose to be vegetarian or vegan.

    I can share my reason; the knowledge of an animal suffering and being slaughtered and my participation or contribution by way of eating the animal or using the skin for a belt or shoes deeply, deeply hurts both emotionally and consciously. I would rather die than eat another creatures body. I also feel strongly that I should never push this point of view on others, but I'm always willing to share my philosophy of compassion for life.

    That's cool.
    I respect that fact that you're not compelled to push your point of view on others. There is great value in that.

    Whenever PETA does something outrageous, I typically respond by buying dinner for my friends. ... and I order veal for everyone.
