Let us be civilized. |

| Message | Even with myself and many of us being vegan we cannot agree with this. A vegan diet is not always healthy and it is not the choice of everyone. We find it extremely unfortunate, but we are not sure forcing vegetarianism is any more healthy or ethical than forcing meat-eating. |

| Message | We're not sure whether or not we agree, but still--your claim to care about the environment is laughable considering your party was perfectly happy to allow air pollution and worse. Vegan diets have to be properly planned to be healthy, though with socialized medicine it helps. |
