ROTFLOL!! OMG, you do
not?
I have pointed out to children that "hamburger" is actually dead cow. "Lamb is baby sheep!" "You know those fluffy little chicks you see at easter? Yeah, grow up to be 'chicken dinner'." You're welcome, mom and dad; good luck with your little veggie.
But I don't have the balls to do it to anyone in my family over the holidays. I catch enough flack for ME trying to avoid aminals. I even made them watch "Meet Your Meat" one year. It didn't phase anyone like I had hoped. Mostly I got, "I bet PETA staged that." Now, being vegan, this made me crap myself. But people who have their minds made up to have thier minds made up will not change through outside forces. I've given up on a lot of them. I just flaunt my excellent cholesterol and skinny vegan-ness at them. And when I cook for them, they get good, non-violent food.
