Part of his activism is demonstrating that you can be vegan and still build muscle. And everybody's different but if you are 300 pounds of mostly muscle and do intense workouts every day then I would imagine it takes quite a lot of Calorie intake to maintain that body.

Except this is a matter of morality. We would never accept a campaign for more humane torture, humane child molestation, etc, whether or not we think everybody will stop doing these things.

Though I suppose abstinence only educators believe that having sex before marriage is wrong as well, they are also dishonest about the realities of sex and that is wrong. So I don't think it's the same.

If it makes you feel any better, I was awake the entire time while my wisdom teeth were being removed (just had nitrous and local anesthetic). It wasn't so bad, I could feel them drilling but it didn't really hurt.

Hi Dr. Hershaft, thanks for doing this AMA. First I just want to say that FARM seems like an awesome organization. I was on Warped Tour with another animal rights organization and talked to a lot of people who had their perspectives changed from FARM's Ten Billion Lives video truck.

As a vegan myself, I have often heard other vegans compare animal agriculture to the Holocaust, which I agree with. And according to your other answers in this thread, you were personally a victim of the Holocaust and also make this comparison, and since you were there it seems like you are licensed to make this comparison. However, if someone like me were to compare animal agriculture and slaughter to the Holocaust to somebody who eats animals, most people would find that offensive or write me off as a wacko extremist. So my question is, do you think it is appropriate or effective for anybody who wasn't a Holocaust victim to make that comparison? If so, in what manner should the comparison be made so that more people are receptive to it?
