    I agree with all of the statements really. But chose "It's about respect"

    Several things really. I don't agree with the way animals are slaughtered on an industrial scale for meat (I could understand it if it was on a much smaller scale). Also, eating meat causes (whether you know it or not) mass deforestation as trees are cut down for pasture.

    I am also of the opinion that if you can't kill an animal you shouldn't eat it. It angers me that people just go the supermarket and buy a packet of meat without knowing where it comes from or how it got there. And what annoys me even more is when people who eat meat see animals being killed for meat, and start going 'aww thats mean' or 'I couldn't do that'. If thats how you feel, why are you happy to gorge on its carcass?

    Finally, I don't have to deal with problem foods.

    Another stupid poll. How about spending a little time thinking up a good set of mutually exclusive answers? This isn't a poll.

    fair enough to have an opinion like that. Just, what is your drive to create distinct boundaries of concepts?

    everything is a sub set

    how about i reword the topics

    Diet == self serving
    everyone == environment
    freedom of choice == religion
    repsect == animal rights

    If questions aren't mutually exclusive then there is no point. It's like having a scientific experiment with 4 variables, you'll never get a real answer. This type of poll would work better with checkboxes.

    i agree on that check box's, free will shouldn't be mutually exclusive.

    I think you could get a 4 variable test. using a variable matrix you can get alot of information, anyway it's the degrees of freedom that are most important. alot of variables have fixed relationships that become evident in testing...infact that would be the point in tests
