Isn't That Touching?

I guess it can happen to anyone - vegetarianism that is. Armin Meiwes has become a vegetarian. You remember him...he's the guy that got convicted of murder and cannibalism in Germany. He advertised on the web for someone to kill and eat, and he got a response! Willing victim. Sorta like beef is to the rest of us, but probably not willing.

He has reformed so much that he has become the Green Party representative in the prison. They say he speaks and writes well, so he has gained a leadership position in the party. Political parties in prison? What? Only in Germany!

Beware Meat Eaters!

We've seen this before. Careful with what you tell your insurance company. An insurance company in the Netherlands, Agis, may soon introduce a special health policy for vegetarians which would have lower premiums. The smoking thing started this way! Now they exile you to the outdoors regardless of the weather.

Not long before they have the meat eaters sitting in the parking lot while the vegetarians get to sit inside in comfort, not having to smell the burning flesh.
