No one in the celebrity world seems to understand what a “vegetarian” or a “vegan” is. I offer the following primer:

Vegetarians do not eat meat but allow food and items made with animal by-products (dairy, leather, etc.). Meat includes ANY living animal whose body is consumed as food, whether in part or whole, raw or prepared, alive or dead. Basically, if you eat ANYTHING with a brain or brain-like organ, it would count as meat.

Vegans not only refuse to eat meat but also believe that animal-based products and services are “exploitative” of the animals in question even if the animals were not killed in the process. Thus, vegans are against such diverse things as butter, cashmere, Jell-O, animal testing, and horse-drawn carriages (for example).

Can we print this out into a pamphlet and give it to these people? I’m not sure they’re ever going to get the idea.

To be actually on the topic of the article…a vege that eats fish would actually be called a pescatarian.

Anybody for a nice barra filet and chips?

C’mon Whistlebait. Everyone else immediately dismissed you. I gave you the benefit of the doubt, listened to your argument and disproved it.

I investigated the most legitimate source you could provide and informed you that ConsumerDeception.com and Peta.com are owned, built, and run by the same people.

Feel free to continue your delusion alone, but as opposed to “irking” me, you have my complete blessing to do so.

This is hilarious to me, because not ONCE did I EVER claim to have a “legitimate” source. I even specifically referred to it as simply a source and not a legitimate source because it happened to be something I found in a 5 minute google search after trying to find out more info about peta kills animals. You clearly assumed that I was sourcing something legitimate, and well you know what they say about people who assume things.

If anyone’s seriously listening to someone named Whistlebait for the ultimate truth on these matters, THEY have issues, not me. Also, I remain unconvinced, but now it’s simply because it clearly seems to irk you so much.

I’d say your PetaKillsAnimals is funded by Phillip Morris myth is completely busted Whistlebait.

I’m not going to tell you how all my secrets, but I am 100% certain that Peta.com and your ‘legitimate’ source ConsumerDeception.com are one and the same.

Not only is it not a legitimate source (and I even allowed you High School Newspapers), its someone with an axe to grind, its sworn enemy.

While this is not how I determined this, here’s five times as many collaborating details as you need to prove Peta.com and ConsumerDeception.com (your ‘legitimate’ source) are built by the same people.

When I trace the IP address, every IP hop (and there are at least 7) for these two sites is identical, meaning they are not only hosted by the same company, they are probably on the same server if not the same directory. I used a different service, but this one will work just as well.

http://network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=trace&host=peta.com
http://network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=trace&host=consumerdeception.com

They registered both names from the same office using the:
1. The same proxy service, Internap
2. Both registered the domain using GoDaddy.com
3. Both host their websites on Hedgehog.net, and both even use the same nameserver.

whois query for consumerdeception.com…
