I'm not sure what to think of your response. Either you don't know what
non-sequitur means, or you are simply sand-bagging. If you want to
change your argument and say that previous posters did not prove the
ecological impact of the meat industry, that is fine, we can have a
discussion about that. But that has little to do with whether or not my
statement about your grandchildren was a non-sequitur.

Perhaps you should reread my description of my cats' diet. They seem
plenty happy with the assorted rodents, lizards and insects they catch
(though I do try to keep them from eating the frogs, some are
poisonous). That scarcely qualifies them as vegans. Instead of arguing
against what you think I'm going to say, try reading what I actually write.

P.S. One of my cats eats Venus Fly-traps for lunch ;)
