Eric pointed me toward a link posted at Instapundit yesterday, and I thought it was pretty great. It reminded of something I did in high school that never went as far, and was never as serious, but still it makes me smile.

The vegans had posters throughout the halls advertising for the Great American Meat Out, a day on which they hoped people would join them in not eating meat (or in their words, to "kick the meat habit (at least for a day) and explore a wholesome, nonviolent diet of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains." No one's told them about the vegetable scream.).

I was in the graphic design club and had access to the computers and printers, so I designed a few signs with slogans like, "MEAT: It Does a Body Good," and "MEAT: Animals Eat it Too." I recruited a small group of students (which I dubbed "the Omnivore Society"), and away we went.

The vegan ring leader would race through the halls tearing down our posters and we'd just sit back, smile, and watch with piles of replacements. She'd scream in frustration, "where are they coming from?"

She eventually gave up.

A few years after high school I ran into an old acquaintance and somehow the Omnivore Society came up. He said, "That was you?!" Apparently it had some kind of impact.

And if just one vegan ate a chicken McNugget, it was all worth it.
