Mainly Central & Western Massachusetts & New Hampshire.
So your not for gun control then?
PS we have Cameron and he is doing a super job even better than Blair.
In my oppinion seeing as you asked:- Far preferable to kill an insect, and that is on a biological assesment on a hierarchicy of sentient animals. But beyond that, what about 'fruitarians' who willl only eat plants if the parent plant has not had to be destroyed?Is it better to kill mammals for meat, or kill insects to protect vegetative crops? how many insects equate to one cow, or one chicken? If I allow ants to live in my garden, can I offset those lives against cows?
I wonder what the life expectancy of a Fruitarian is?I what about 'fruitarians' who willl only eat plants if the parent plant has not had to be destroyed?

Can't see any reason that it should be less than a Vegan. The one I knew had to be very organised around meals, was on the surface very fit, healthy and happy, but might have been seen as a bit obsessive; one of the characteristics that comes with this dietry persuation! He knew all the dietry requirements of an adult, to a post grad scientific level, and covered every food group' apart from meat & milk. I imagine protein may be a bit more challenging, not sure about Quorn, Soya, Textured Vegetable Protein, but where there is a will. Must need an imaginative and open mind, but can't see any reason why it is not more than the average person's annimal fat filled , protein rich, calorie inflated slop. Certainly isn't for me, I enjoy my Lacto Veggie slop far too much.I wonder what the life expectancy of a Fruitarian is?
For a Musical Fruitarian it is 57.
And don't get down wind from them either! PARP!For a Musical Fruitarian it is 57.

I personally subscribe to age'd parents idea that some lives are worth more than others.
But insects are killed, in massive numbers, to ensure food is edible (desirable?) by humans. We don't bother as much if its animal feed, so less lives lost overall.
Therefore, on a purely murdering of animals aspect, I can't see meat eating as an issue.

But surely vegetarianism/veganism also assigns value to life, based on whether the organism in question has a central nervous system or not?
It is a perfectly acceptable assignation of value one would have thought, but a defining criteria nonetheless?
, so had taken the context to be animals.TekMonkey said:its just that I place all animals in the 'edible' section.
