Discrediting a good cause

[Chucaro]

If there is one thing that make my blood boil is when a group of fanatics are using one good cause (in this case protection of animals) to promote their unfounded beliefs or views.
This is very common with many (not all) that are active under the green banner and the ones under the protection of animals.
This last group, PETA ( People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) are using autism and the consumption of dairy to back up their campaign

Claim dairy linked to autism outrages farmers

PETA - People Eating Tasty Animals...

[Slunnie]

Makes them now look like like a bunch of fanatical lunatics that are only worth being ignored. Reminds me of Harold Scruby.

[Mick_Marsh]

Yeah.
It's a real pain this "opinion with no basis in fact".

[Disco Muppet]

^ perfect description of PETA.
Animals rights is an excellent and most worthwhile cause.
PETA are a bunch of mental nutjobs who do exactly as Chucaro says, discredits a perfectly valid cause*

Meat eating is the cause of the human problem today!
If we didn't eat meat, ever, as a race there would be no population problem, no wars and no pollution. As we would still be mentally below Neanderthals, about level with gorillas, avg lifespan of 22 and our global population would be lucky to hit 1 million.
Lots of people have issues with a variety of foods, and at certain stages it can be more pronounced. My oldest son couldn't drink milk until he was 4 or it would make him sick so he had soy or goats milk. My other children had no issues with milk but the youngest is like me with tomatoes, loves the taste but they go through.
My brothers 2 children are both autistic, but he understands it had nothing to do with milk or injections or any other myth.
The only milk that could cause it is the "Chinese home brand powdered formula" with the added chemicals that poison you.

Hey! fair go! Gorillas are smart.. they are now smarter than Neanderthals. To illustrate my point you only need to watch them go head-to-head in State of Origin

Frantic.....what a statement...

Where did you deduce that information from?

It's not information actually , as information is knowledge communicated or received concerning some FACT or circumstance.

I am referring to your first 3 sentences.

Frantic's post indicates that his tongue is planted firmly in his cheek... at least I think it is If people didn't eat meat they'd be on grass... and we know what happens to people on grass
