Funny vegan conversation
My husband (matt) had his first ever ridiculous vegan conversation at work yesterday and I had to share. I laughed pretty hard.
Guy: So you're a vegan
Matt: yes
Guy: But what if you were in the woods and you saw a deer? Wouldn't you kill it and eat it?
Matt: No...no I would not kill the deer and eat it.
Guy: But what if it was like... a really big deer?
Matt: I still wouldn't kill the deer and eat it. Why would I want to do that?
Guy: What if the deer was laying there dead from natural causes, and you found it. Would you eat it?
Matt: If I saw a dead deer in the woods, my initial reaction would not be to eat it. I would look around for a lion and say "here, lion, here is a nice deer for you to eat" Then I would say "holy crap, it's a lion" and run away.
Guy: Okay. I get it it. You wouldn't eat the deer.
took him long enough don't you think? lol.
Wow, I never thought about it that way. Your hubbie's co-worker had some really good points. I'm totally going to reconsider being a vegan. Maybe I could get a gun this season and learn how to hunt...or if I'm really lucky I'll just run across a rotting carcass somewhere. ;)b
I'm not really sure what this guy was trying to get at....like...at all. The sheer ridiculousness of it all had me sitting on the floor laughing.
It's almost as funny as my uncle's argument against veganism. He maintains that if we were all starving to death on a deserted island that we would have to eat meat to stay alive...but the problem with that is: We're not on an island. Or starving. And I love coconuts. ::)
Hah. I love how everyone HAS to have a stuck somewhere with this animal there situation to try to sway us somehow.
My friends all say if you're on an island and you have to eat a chicken. What kind of island am i on if its only me and a chicken?

:-D
Ha, that's so random! But I think people like to make "what if" scenarios to see a vegan or vegetarian's breaking point. I hear venison is stringy anyway. I'd like to repost this to my private blog so more veggies can commiserate/giggle, if you don't mind?
sure go ahead =-)
I just thought of something else. I'm assuming this person means theyre lost and have no food. But, why would some one whos vegan have any ability/knowledge of killing a deer when they are stuck somewhere and i'm guessing have nothing with them that would aide in animal killing?
Ok, i might just be over thinking it now, haha.
oh me oh my...
I like the family portrait. so cute! you need one of everyone all in one picture, too!
oh, that is all solid gold, fufuberry. Thanks for sharing, and brightening up my afternoon with the shining light that is the capacity of people to be ignorant!
My situation was "if it were just you and cow on a row boat and you had a knife...."
and the conversation lasted at least 10 minutes. I kid you not.

Did you make the cow a fresh salad with the knife? Sounds nice, hanging out with a cow on a rowboat.
If I saw a deer that had died, and it was laying there.... WHY WOULD I WANNA EAT IT even if I did eat meat??
It probably died from disease!
Why would you want to eat something diseased?
I love the lion thing, though.... that's way better than anything I could come up with on the spot!

I like the way you look at it :)
I'd eat a dead deer if I found it. No point in waste.
I eat roadkill.
Most people don't understand freeganism...
