I was walking through the L Union building when I saw a group of anti-mepeople clustered behind a table by the at bowling alley. Playing on a video monitor was a very graphic and video about the heart-rendin- g injustices done to animals in the slaughterhouse. The anti-mefolk completed their emotional at punch with a barrage of literature, including an invitation to the Great American one-tw- o anti-me- at Meat-O- ut I felt it was more than just coincidence that the Meat-Owas held on my birthday, so I went to the meeting. After listening to moving testimonials and horror stories from former I finally managed right there in the Holladay Library to shed my Robert Rowan -- meat-eater- s, self-loathin- meat-eatin- skin. I was reborn, and from the ashes of my former self stepped a vegan. I was christened by the tears of my newfound friends at the Great American bound to my comrades-in-vegetarianis- m with a sap oath.

According to that "theory," a le even standby shows like Cosby. The Best and Worst News For call this nightmare a democracy. Animals are yet another hapless minority whose rights have been trod upon for years by evil white middle-class- " males such as myself my former self, that is. I am now, thanks to the Animal I'd like to quote from the flier that touched my heart: "For years, Americans have incorrectly believed it healthy, in fact necessary, to consume meat, dairy products, and eggs.
