49. We may be naturally omnivores but we are also naturally naked
and naturally flightless. I am not an omnivore just as a growing percentage of Americans are not. Realities change. You have the power to change yours.

Furthermore, you are off on your point about how PETA does not work for "baby steps" within the system. For example, it focuses on specific meat suppliers/restaurants with specific, realizable goals for change. For example, KFC. Many non-vegetarians have joined PETA's boycott of KFC because of what are seen as gross violations, even on a comparative scale with the rest of the industy, by Pilgrim's Pride, KFC's chicken supplier. That is tangible demands. On other fronts, when PETA boycotts other businesses, they are in constant negotiations with the targetted business and PETA will accept an acceptable "compromise" if they find it truly beneficial to the situation.
