The argument against veganism is "I don't mind killing stuff in order to eat it"

Look to see if that Vegan wears leather shoes or belts or has a leather wallet and ask them how they justify that?

Meat has a chance to run.

This argument doesn't hold any water. This is like calling someone who donates to charity a hypocrite because they didn't donate twice as much. People should do what they feel comfortable with to try and make the world better.

What kind of argument are we talking about? Is it a lifestyle choice or a we shouldn't kill animals for food argument?

edit - I think vegetables can feel pain and you eat them while they are still alive....GROSSSS!

Well, I think the only real argument is against someone who is doing it for health reasons. If they're morally opposed to the mistreatment of animals to the point that they have completely given up on any animal (by)products, there is probably nothing you can say to convince them to come back to reality. If they are doing it mostly for health reasons, they are sadly misinformed. I'm no nutritionist, but basically, human beings are carnivores. We're meant to be carnivores, and our bodies expect certain levels of animal intake.

My best argument, however, would be bringing in Moby and seeing if he could take a light little bunch without losing control of his extremities.
