  Good. Freaking. God.
It took me a while to digest -- please forgive the pun -- this site: The Mineralarianism Movement. Seriously folks, these people think that eating anything that was alive is bad and advocate eating -- I'm not joking -- rocks.

ROCKS. To use the intar-web vernacular, OMGWTFBBQ!?!?!? ROCKS.

Isn't this all a bit unnatural?
Certainly it is more natural to eat meat and vegetables than chemicals made from rocks and air, but natural is not always good. Many of the finest creations of the human spirit, music for example, are not natural. Nature, for all the good that can be said about it, is full of cruelty and suffering, and there can be no nobler application for our vaunted intelligence than devising ways to mitigate cruelty, especially when we are the cause. If a "primitive" hunter were offered the chance, through technology, to spare his prey, would he not, like Abraham, thank God for freeing him from the hateful duty he was about to perform?


Please Lord, deliver unto me a brick, so that I might smite these people greatly about the head. They, like all of us, have the right to live the way they please, but I am thinking only of their welfare. Perhaps some sense could be knocked in...
