Mainly

If I put this before "vegetarian" to describe my diet, I sincerely doubt anyone would consider me a vegetarian.

Eastern Lowland Gorillas actually don't let the Westerns into their country clubs.

Uncivilized brutes.

I do know some people that will eat oysters as vegetarians. They lack central nervous systems and as a result can't feel pain or distress. They're basically as plant like as a technical animal can get, but people who don't know that don't understand why a vegetarian might be okay with it.

My family is mostly vegan. Only my sister eats hotdogs from time to time.

So you are saying you aren't vegan.

Isn't that the logic here?

I eat beef, but the cows were grass-fed. So they were vegan. Except for the milk part when they were calves. But then they chose grass.

So, I'm a vegan, once-removed.

I'm the same with Presbyterians. But only when they cross against the light.
