If I had to be a hunter-gatherer then I would. I might feel bad about it, but I would respect the animals that I killed and I would eat meat. But things are different.

Steve King

Iowa Republican representative Steve King thinks if you’re a vegetarian or a vegan, it’s time to come out of the closet.

King was present at a hearing that discussed issues pertinent to the Department of Agriculture and animal husbandry when he noticed there were several animal welfare and animal rights groups present.

King insisted these people weren’t really there to discuss how to better the agricultural system by cleaning up big farms, improving living conditions for animals and making  the food supply safer but were on a secret mission to get rid of the system altogether.

Welcome sign at Wrigley

If you avoid animal products and still plan to take yourself out to the ballgame, you’ll be happy to learn that one major league ballpark  has updated its menu so you can buy more than peanuts and Crackerjacks.

Because those get old really fast, leaving you with no motivation to cheer and only to throw them at the opponent’s fans.
