45. No excuses, just reality...
Humans are omnivores. We eat meat, veggies and all sorts of things to keep us healthy. This is what is best for us and our health. The fact that you can take "suppliments" to try and make up for missing nutrients is cute, but it is not the same.

"That is fine as long as you have you have come to the conclusion that the personal benefits you gain are more important and more valued to you than the suffering and cruelty caused by the industries you support"

And therein lies the problem with PETA. Rather than working mainly towards eliminating the "suffering and cruetly" caused by the industry, they condemn the entire industry, which is not, in and of itself, cruel. Sorry, but this is EXACTLY why PETA keeps getting marginalized... they attempt to legislate morality and taste, rather than really working on the core issue upon which most people can agree.
