All life springs from death and dissolution -- into the furtherance of life. Veganism is for citified people who, well, are at odds with ecology in general.

(Shudder) Not for me, thank you. I much prefer chowing down on a vegetarian recipe than listening to the half-educated drivel that seems so much of veggie-and-beyond-veggie philosophy.
