Save the Lettuce

September 4, 2006 - 5:35 PM by

Someone– perhaps the same someone who spray-painted radical-feminist slogans on Rachel Imeinu Street a few months ago — recently spray-painted radical vegetarian slogans in the same spots: the wall surrounding a construction site, and the walls of the little huts at bus stations.The graffitti said, in Hebrew,

MEAT
=
MURDER

After a few days, something along these lines also appeared on the wall

Save the animals! www.[some Hebrew word].co.il

Well. Well, well, well.

The meat-loving populace of the German Colony was not going to let all of that go without comment. One day I saw the following scrawled on the hut at a bus stop:

Did you ever consider the feelings of your lettuce? How do you think those poor vegatables feel? They are crying in pain! Oh, God, save the carrots! Come to the aid of the radishes! www.[Hebrew word for lettuce].co.il

But then, the vegetarian wars got nasty. The meat-eaters did this to the MEAT=MURDER graffitti:

MEAT VEGETARIANISM
=
MURDER

This change was made up and down the street.

So what did the vegetarians do?

MEAT VEGETARIANISM
=
MURDERSAVES LIVES

I can’t wait to see what goes up next!

    2. Carnivore animals eat other animals. How do the militant vegetarians accept this? Are the animals guilty of murder?

    When you come to think of it, animals such as cows eat grass, not any meat. Therefore meat is merely processed grass and it goes to follow that meat is actually vegetarian!!!

    Its all a little nuts.

    6. Not that I want to get in the middle of this fight – though I have written in the past about the value of vegetarianism (see the post below) and I personally tend towards vegetarianism – but it’s hard to resist sharing the very appropriate comment once made by the comedian A. Whitney Brown:

    “I’m a vegetarian … but not because I love animals … rather, because I hate vegetables.”

    Here’s the link to my post about The Vegetarian That Eats Meat:
