I'm offering this here as a service to Cellar members who were engaged in some semi-vigorous debate with a new member who claimed to be an employee of PETA. All statements are paraphrased and summarized to save time and space:
Garnet - Eating meat is bad, don't do it.
Most Everyone Else - We like meat, leave us alone.
That pretty well ought to get us back up to speed on this topic.
