All the factors are linked though- veganism for health purposes is a political move because it defies fonterra and the meat industries messages about needing calcium for strong bones and meat for iron. and environmental reasons are also political- boycotting dairy because i am disturbed by the warning signs around the once beautiful waikato river is also about health and politics. i find it really hard to separate all that out. our health is political, because we are fed so much un truth and sold nutritional lies by big business<BR/>(excuse long length of rant! ps i love this blog)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17759756.post-1138610771027364552006-01-30T21:46:00.000+13:002006-01-30T21:46:00.000+13:00Fantastic, I found some vegetarians!

There's one which expounds the importance of fruit over ice-cream. <BR/><BR/>I want to smash that purple guy with a plastecine-smashing hammer sometimes. No objection to fruit, just the smarmily self-righteous way the whole thing is presented.Ellanorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01811548139365965869noreply@blogger.com
