2001 Pepsi 400 , a few months after his father died , he won at Daytona . How emotional . <| sep |> Idiots . Absolute idiots . Look , i don ' t agree with the vegan lifestyle . My ex worked at a slaughterhouse . There is this weird idea vegans have that the rest of us are soulless and cruel . S cried the first day because he didn ' t want to hurt cows and pigs . But we are a culture completely divorced from death . We wrap death in cellophane and mass market it and don ' t KNOW anything about it or its processes or how it works . PETA came to my school and showed this terrible video of a cow seizing in the corner of a slaughterhouse . Failed bolting . Here ' s the rub that cows brain was destroyed . It was dead already . I ' ve lived in farms long enough and had to put animals down myself and I ' ve missed my mark and it fucking sucks . Nobody wants that and only a sick few are lackadaisical about it . But that said you have EVERY RIGHT to put or not out whatever the fuck you want into your body . As does your brother . You can even talk to other about your beliefs and reasons for them , as I ' ve just done with you . I don ' t expect to convert you . You don ' t expect to do the same for me . I know and understand that that sick few who are lackadaisical are enough for you . Good for you . Fine . We may live in a society divorced from death but we also live in one educated and rich enough that you can get your protein elsewhere . So you do you and share your opinions and beliefs and I ' ll share mine and I ' ll fight tooth and nail for your right to eat as you see fit . Because this is NOT about veganism . Which is why I shared my opinion on it , I wouldn ' t have otherwise , it ' s not the point . Which is the point . Lol . Any normal meat water would shrug and say , whatever , more bacon for me . But for your family , it ' s about control . Fundamental control of both body and thoughts .
