    You know, if those two did go vegan, it would have to be another one of their "world domination" & "money-grubbing" schemes.

    Can you just see them together? They probably have a cake shaped like the world, and sit around carving pieces out of it for themselves: "Here you go George, take Iraq and Russia; Putin won't mind. Afterall, he is only a sawed-off runt!"
    "Why, thanks, Tony, don't mind if I do. And for your trouble, how about a sweet secret oil pipline deal in Afganistan?" "Gee, George, how very generous of you!".....

    Well, you get the idea, Moz

    Oh-Oh is that the FBI at my door???

    I would say him too except I can't imagine him giving up his meat let alone his dairy...... I think if someone like David Beckham became vegan, it would probably just be seen as a fashionable thing to do, but at least it would make more people aware that life is possible without consuming animal products.

    Talking Re: A veganisating wish!

    According to the vegetarian society, the backing glue on postage stamps IS free from animal products. I hope this means the variety we have to lick (yuck - I always spit on my finger and wipe it on if I have to) AND the new sticky ones that we now just peel and apply.

    Or are you not talking about postage stamps and you just like licking old ladies heads???

    Anyway, back to the original question, I would like my future husband to be vegan, or possibly Brad Pitt, if they indeed do not end up being one and the same!

    What? I thought we were just wishful thinking!!!

    hahaha I agree!! Completely! It never ceases to amaze me that literally I think anyone could be president with money and connections and that is oh so sad. Furthermore, it is also quite pitiful that we have yet to find anyone since Bill Clinton that people actually want to have lead our country. The last two elections have been, well who's the lesser of two evils? Thats not the way things should be people! The people of the United States should be able to rally together and at least find one person that a distinct majority feels is fit to run the country.

    i think the pope. he's the most powerful man in the world, or in any event, tons of people do stuff simply because he says to.

    if he told people to stop using animals, they would stop. and at first it would be because they had been told to but eventually people would start to think up logical reasons for what they are doing. at least, that's how people usually operate. act first, justify later.

    Various Moslem and Jewish leaders. Then millions of animals wouldn't have their throats cut whilst still conscious. Other religious leaders might then follow their example to show that they were just as spiritual.

    While this is not a worldly response, I would have to say my mom and my boyfriend (especially). Since I've become vegan, Brian (my boyfriend) has been very open minded when it comes to trying new foods and being able to hear and understand about the torture of animals. Also, they are the two people I love most in my life, so naturally I would want whats best for their health as well
    Be thankful for this moment, this moment is your life:)

    If the most powerful leaders in the most poor countries in the world would go vegan and also learn something about nutrition, I'm sure a lot of their suffering and starving citizens would be happy. Eating plants instead of growing animal food+eat animals (or sell animal food to rich countries for a far too low price) means that a lot more people could be fed from the same land. Or - Kofi Annan, maybe?

    Angry Re: Which significant person would you like to become vegan overnight?

    I really wish ppl on morning television would start preparing vegan foods/meals. It's a problem here. I see it as so because so many ppl start out their day watching this stuff & all they see are beef, beef, beef. It causes them to want that kind of meal for dinner. Gawd, America & this BEEF INDUSTRY!! *pulls out hair*

    Sorry, you said one specific person. My mom, I think. She has fibrom & chronic pain. It's sad because I know how much better she would feel & she makes a concious decision to ignore me.

    My dad has cancer, she has a brain tumor plus fibro & I just think they could see some miraculous happenings in their lives if they went vegan. Heck, even vegetarian would be a difference in their lives & the environment at this point.

    Arnie did not ban foie gras. The bill was amended to the point that it means there will be no discussion of legislature changes to foie gars production in california for 7 years, and when that time is up it only relates to a phasing out of production for one producer.
