alternet.org — Today is the day. Call it the heart attack heard 'round the world. Yes, today KFC's already-infamous Double Down--the bacon and cheese "sandwich" where the bun is comprised of two chunks of fried chicken--hits fast food chains and mall food courts across the nation. I already tipped ...

for real. People eat sausage and pancakes together all the time, on a plate. And all hell's gonna break loose if you combine the same two things on a stick?

5 grossest to a vegan/veggie, 5 greatest to most of the rest of us.Sausage wrapped in pancake is ancient, my mom had it when she was a little girl, called it pigs in a blanket. Think my grandmother did to. The stick is optional. :)The KFC double down is totally delicious, if you like bacon, cheese, and chicken. Little messy, but very tasty. Reminds me of Chicken Cordon Bleu. The rest of them are meh...Please not that the article is bylined as coming from Treehugger. Need I say more?

Some people might like it... but my vote goes for Pizza Hut stuffed crust pizza. That stuff is ok for the first slice, but after that it is just awful. What a waste of good pizza. And enough calories for 3 meals.

Yournightmare pretty much summed it up. The "it's natural" argument is the one I hear the most, and it's pretty ridiculous to anyone who understands basic logic. Again, I challenge someone to explain how it's laughable to have a moral objection against eating meat. I'll continue to be buried because, as Marshmelly411 pointed out below, Digg has a vendetta against vegetarians. I blame PETA and the like.

That's because America is a melting pot of people from all over the world, that left their f**ked up homelands.

The traditional Scottish deep fried curly wurly is pretty horrific...

The world works that way. If nobody kills other animals, several can become overpopulated and f**k up the ecosystem. Enjoy making your body suffer and not giving it what it should have because the way the world works makes you sad inside.

<a class="user" href="http://i.imgur.com/9Qjjn.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/9Qjjn.jpg</a>That's a picture of me eating eating a krispy kreme burger. Yes, it's exactly what you think. meat, bacon and cheese sandwiched between two doughnuts. They had them at the local fair/carnival that was going on last week ($9 each, but it's the fair, everything there is stupid expensive)

Again, you're just appealing to the same argument that Apex3 used. "The world works that way" is not a proper moral justification for anything. If it were, then a whole variety of ghastly things would be morally justified because they occur "naturally" in the world. The "natural" state of humanity, apparently, is also to commit genocide and commit brutal acts of systematic violence against each other; are we to maintain these traditions because "the world works that way"?Also, your argument that the world's ecosystem's would become "f**ked up" if we didn't eat meat is completely foolish. You are aware that virtually 100% of the meat consumed by people in the western world is raised in factories, correct? The ecosystem in which they exist is completely unnatural. Also, I'm not against the humane killing of animals in order to maintain healthy population levels; that position isn't incompatible with the moral desire to be a vegetarian.Finally: "making my body suffer"? That argument is also old and tired. Thanks to the wonders of modern science, human beings are now able to subside completely on non-meat sources of nutrition. You'll be hard-pressed to find a nutritionist who would say that you can't have a perfectly healthy vegetarian diet. Furthermore, you'll find athletes and UFC fighters and other completely healthy and strong people who are vegetarians and even vegans.So, any other reasons why "it's laughable to have a moral objection against eating meat"? I'll continue to be buried but I'm thinking not. Again, note that you DON'T have to believe that eating meat is morally wrong to agree with my position, since all I'm arguing is that it's NOT laughable to be a vegetarian for moral reasons. I likewise believe that it's NOT laughable to NOT be a vegetarian for moral reasons. It's things like this that convince me that the US public school system should mandate logic and philosophy classes; perhaps our populace would be a tad less ignored and irrational if that were the case.
