Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but those who take it to the extreme are the ones killing their credibility. Veganism and Vegetarianism should be considered a personal choice, as they are, in most cases.
When it's suggested that I change my diet from Omnivore to Vegetarian or Vegan for health reasons, I have to politely object, because when I eat plant-based foods, I get major gas issues or acid reflux. If I eat too many meats, I loose weight too fast, and will also have acid reflux. If I eat both, I get the benefits of both worlds, often without acid reflux, because there is a balance.
There is nothing to be gained from calling the consumption of meat "Animal Cruelty" because animals do not understand cruelty, unless they experience it repeatedly, and know that they are experiencing cruelty. Killing the animal you intend to eat is NOT an act of cruelty, but a means by which you are prolonging your own life.
All creatures understand that there is a balance in the universe, but humans are the only ones who see it as unfair.
Animals are tortured in factory farms. I don't use that word lightly.
You should look through my facebook to see current undercover investigations and other issues surrounding factory farming:

Or go to my blog where I summarize the issues:
Factory Farming and the Impact It Has On EVERYONE
Could you explain a few things to me?
First: What the hell does deforestation have to do with factory farming? Saving the rainforest, and petitioning for the rights of domestic animals (as in animals within our borders) are two different things, and the last time I checked, all of the timber that is not used is burned, which produces carbon (naturally occurring element, by the way), carbon dioxide (naturally occurring chemical), and the trees are now required to be replaced with new trees when they have been cut.
Also, I don't know how old you are, but it's apparent to me that you never took sociology or studied the impact that certain words have on people. For instance, a lot of people these days HATE Obama, and putting an article on your blog from change.org about something he did doesn't make people want to read, unless they're one of his die-hard supporters.
Lastly, the blog jumps around so often that I would fail you if I asked you to write an essay, and you presented it to me.
