#1 Sunstein, and people like him, should be taken to Oahu, and given a nudge off of Nuʻuanu Pali.

#5 Next time there is a volcanic eruption like the one in AD 535, only the people who eat meat will survive.

#6 Since vegetarian diets are deficient in many ways maybe the next republican government should "nudge" vegetarians back to healthy omnivorous eating.

#7 So Sunstein make hamburger unavailable to the people, while his boss dines on imported Waygu beef. With that scenario, he better be prepared to add House and Senate Democrats to the endangered species list.

#8 The dhimocrats are really doing their best to piss off the entire population of the United States, aren't they?

#10 Time to make a few examples out of these people. I use the term "people" when referring to these monsters, loosely.

#11 The Endangered Species Act should be abolished. After all extinction is a perfectly natural process and should be left alone.

#12 No meat or salt. Salt Panels coming to a federal executive office building near you.

#14 Saw a wonderful "TEE" shirt in wallyworld.

Said "I love fast food" and showed a picture of a Deer in full flight.

8 feet off the ground jumping a fallen tree.

#15 If meat were not meant to be eaten, then why does it taste so good? Or run so fast . . . .

#16 I eat vegetarian.

Elk, deer, sheep, cattle . . . all vegetarians.

#17 Another nudge, which is coming, is the EPA has designated methane gas as harmful to the atmosphere therefore it can be regulated like carbon dioxide. Try $350 on a head of cattle, grass fed, dairy, or feed lot. I have spent most of my life in cattle country and this is devestating.

Win-Win situation

#20 Who the hell told you that, 746? It isn't true - a quick google found a recent statistic that 31% of Indians are vegetarians.

Vegetarianism isn't particularly healthy for human beings, but the necessary discipline which the vegetarian diet requires in order to avoid malnutrition can result in an apparent superior state of health compared to your average fatass undisciplined American. But that's the discipline, not the vegetarianism. It's important to not confuse cause with correlation.

#21 It takes serious infrastructure to support a population of vegetarians, too, as a Jain friend of mine found to her dismay when her husband was posted to Beijing as a corporate ex-pat.
