Instead you need to rub it in peoples face who do not care, and you will not convert that you are a vegan/vegetarian. You people are the reason people do not respect people like me. I am embarrassed most of the time to tell people I am vegetarian because the resentment people hold because people like peta. You should be doing it for yourself not others. Sorry for the rant.

Awesome! Do you like breading on your pork chops? My favorite is the breading with some spices and herbs mixed in. When that starts sizzling, my kitchen smells so nice.

I like breading things in corn flakes(i think its more a nostalgia thing, my mom did it when i was a kid) and mixing in whatever herbs i've got. Any recomendations for herb/spice combos that are good?

And hemp straps sound like a great idea to me as well.

I doubt that all vegans know where they're produce comes from. I know in some places it's easy to buy all organic, but in other places it's damn near impossible. Some places you can easily get produce form small, balanced farms, but for a lot of us it comes from large monocultures. What if you're in the North eating produce that has been grown in the South? There's problems with everything when you look at a FULL life cycle assessment. I mean... a lot of my produce is shipped from the US or AU. I don't even want to think about how much fuel is used to transport and refrigerate across an ocean. And the heat created in building that ship?! And the heat created from making all the raw materials for it?

If you want to get on a soap box it better be the one in your personal garden where you grow your own $hit.
