This can become a sensitive topic.

PETA and PCRM are not members of this forum, we just get the occasional member join us for a quicky

However, their PR pervades our surroundings, with their many publicity stunts, like their post-mortem attacks on Dr. Atkins, and their continuing claims of "research" showing low-carbing causes cancer and other nasty things.

So, it not reasonable to expect that such PR will not be discussed here, because PCRM and PETA are not here. It's a public issue directly related to low-carbing, and the discussion belongs on a low-carbing forum.

So the next issue would be the debate on the ethics or morality of vegetarianism/veganism regardless of PETA/PCRM issues. We have opinions on both sides of the issues. We do have members following a vegetarian lifestyle and claim it is the moral choice, and/or that eating meat is unethical and/or immoral. Other members may disagree. And we do have members who claim vegetarianism is unhealthy, and deprives the individual of essential nutrients. Other members may disagree.

Such debate is healthy, and welcome, and the readers may form their own opinions and conclusions, or join the debate.

What is not healthy, and not welcome here, is personal attacks. Those can be dealt with by using the report button.
