Obviously you can't expect someone to completely 100% just stop eating animal products at the click of a finger, but it seems to me like most people are too selfish to even consider easing off their meat/egg/milk intake just because they think chocolate or pizza is too good to give up. A friend of mine I'm talking to right now on msn even admitted that she doesn't really care about the way the fast food industry treats animals:

It's like some people actually find it FUNNY that they don't care which makes me wonder what goes on in their minds.

if someone told me what you said in the quote i'd tell them i agree they're a terrible person (they said it)

it's much easier, in my opinion, to quit animal products than it is to quit smoking even though not using animal products requires specific actions and not smoking only requires a lack of actions.
