Veggie pejoratives
Mar. 2nd, 2008 09:39 pmHere's a slightly tendentious quote from a Guardian comment post that I rather liked:
As Green MEP Caroline Lucas succinctly put it when addressing the London Climate Action rally in December 2007: "A vegan driving a 4x4 generates fewer climate-changing gases than a meat-eater on a bicycle."
Which makes me think: both "meat-eater" and the more socially acceptable "carnivore" sound like they might make great pejorative terms. I think that, from now on, they're going to become my standard words for people I don't agree with.
