The following is a response I received via email from Willa J.

I am (on Rattle Them Pots And Pans behalf) that rhetorical swarm of hornets that Willa stirred up with her Vegetarian Philosophy Stick. Don’t think for a second Willa that sending this to me in a private email I wasn’t going to share it with my friends! Not sharing this with the followers of Rattle Them Pots and Pans is completely out of the question!

(Two or three of my articles here had some off handed comments about vegetarians needing to go elsewhere or to ignore this post or some such carnivore punch line)

So, this is the email I recieved . Willa having her say in the matter…

Willa J. says - You meat-eating ass hole! Why must you murderers treat us non-murderers with such animosity? My husband and I must put up with this maliciousness every day of our lives, and we’re getting quite sick of it! I shall no longer hold my tongue on the matter. I will lash out each and every time one of you menaces to the animal kingdom spew forth your genocidal rhetoric.

From your writings, one can deduce that you are a very well-read and educated man with a very sharp wit. On the other hand you seem braggadocio about your unhealthy dietary choices! The analogy (to me) is that of a highly talented and skilled race car driver who constantly is involved in real traffic fender benders. One would think he’d bring his professional skills into the real world, but no – he’s a terrible real world driver. I use the race car driver analogy because I suspect you are a fat, beer swilling, nascar fanatic, and you might possibly be able to relate.

Eating the flesh of one of Gods creatures is not only disgusting, but completely wrong. Our society, as a whole, has had this whole carnivore / herbivore issue wrong from day one. It’s relevant ONLY to the animal kingdom, NOT our human kingdom. God issued the edict “forbidden fruit” NOT “forbidden meat”. Meaning “eat all the fruit you need except this one.” And even THEN we stupid humans got it wrong. The murdering meat eaters were turned loose on the world to continuously get it wrong throughout our recorded history.

I was appalled by your heading design. An adorable little child posing with the poor dead chicken – posed in some sick provocative fashion, suggesting God knows what. But I looked past that and read several of your articles hoping maybe to find something I could use. I was wrong. I found nothing but a bunch of meat eating Neanderthals. I pray that one day you all will see the error of your ways and make the change to what God originally intended.

Never Coming Back.

Praying for your souls.

Willa J.

Willa, you have no idea how much I love a good debate. In fact, I loved it so much as a kid that I was on the debating team in high school. There are several ways I could go in responding to you. I’ve decided to go with what I know best: Wisdom and Sarcasm.

You did manage to get several thing right in your venomous email. I am a “meat eater”, and I am an “ass hole”. But being a meat eater doesn’t make me an ass hole. My ego makes me an ass hole. God made me a meat eater. Oh, yeah – it’s true. Gods word, aka the Bible isn’t a novel that you read in a weekend (which you’ve apparently done), it’s an adventure to be experienced in a lifetime. You obviously believe in God, let me clue you in on two types of his creatures:

Predators and NON-Predators. Predators have “Binocular vision” – eyes on the front of their faces. Great for focusing in on their prey. NON-Predators have their eyes on the SIDE of their faces, great for looking out for predators. They didn’t CHOOSE to have their eyes placed there, God did. Same goes for their teeth. Predators have sharp ones in front for tearing through flesh and flat dull ones in back for crushing bones. NON-predators only have one type of tooth, flat dull grinding ones. They didn’t choose them, God did.

We’re murderers huh? Us meat eaters, we’re murderers? By those standards, a lion must also be a murderer. And so are bears, tigers, and eagles. We need to round em’ all up and put them on trial. What I actually think is: Willa has been watching way too many Disney cartoon movies. The believes the artist renderings are real. That they have souls like humans. And these animated fabrications cross over somehow to Willa’s animal kingdom / ‘real world”

I have some news for you Willa. We humans are at the very top of the animal kingdom. There is NO human kingdom, we are grouped together with all the other animals in the Animal Kingdom. We are “top of the heap”, “king of the hill”, and we are the only ones God gave souls. END OF THE RELIGIOUS SIDEBAR….we’ve covered both sides, let’s move on.

Willa J. says - “I suspect you are a fat, yes I am. beer swilling, I NEVER swill my beer. nascar fanatic, I HATE nascar. and you might possibly be able to relate.”  Willa, you read an awful lot about me here on Rattle Them Pots And Pans dot com, and I only got to read a very little about you. But I certainly have my suspicions about you. “From your writings, one can deduce…” . . . MY turn… I suspect you are:

Pale*, skinny and gaunt*, thinning* salt and pepper hair, late 50’s early 60’s, with large gaps between your otherwise healthy and beautifully maintained teeth*.

You’re married to a man who is also skinny* and gaunt*, short, balding* on top but has a pony tail.

You’ve never had a child but have had several miscarriages*.

You’re both liberals** but certainly not democrats.

(* because you chose to be a vegetarian)

(** because you have a mental disorder)

At one point in your life, you’ve burned an American flag. . . . and you LIED about “Never coming back”! Like me, you to are an ego driven “ass hole”. You think you put me in my place with that “holier then thou” email and you want to see if I commented on it. I don’t even want to know what was going on in that pea brain of your’s with that comment about my header design! It’s meant to put a smile on your face. It’s cute. It’s fun. Try and find some fun in your weird and bizarre life.

(You wear “Berkinstocks” sandals.)

I could go on and on, but I’ll stop here. . . (you’re probably crying). . . don’t bother responding unless it’s with an apology. . .

Some very appropriate dialog from Monty Python comes to mind – “I don’t want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough water! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries! Now leave before I am forced to taunt you a second time!”

Your Comments

Gabrielle T. says - Whenever someone brings in God to their vegetarian argument, I have to laugh. They obviously ignore the passage in Genesis 9:3 where God said to Noah after the flood, “Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everthing.”

In addition, the Last Supper was a Passover meal and the main star of the meal itself….a lamb. So Jesus ate meat and He was completely sinless. To call someone a murderer for eating meat and praying for their souls as Wilma said she did is preposterous.

WarsawNan says - So much for your G / PG rating.

Chadly says - Harry, can you please ask her which one of the forbidden fruits God didn’t want us to eat? God was always so literal in the Bible, but I guess I missed a part or two about that.

Please don’t tell me that the forbidden fruit was Soy… Please? (begging) I just so love my soyturkey, and soydogs, and soyburger, and soyelk, and soymoose, and soyham, and soylent green, and wait… When did this turn creepy???

Tell her to find another site to preach on… PETA is allowing new posts.

(YOU’VE just told her Chadly)

Dee L. says – How about all those animal sacrifices to God that are in the Bible? And it was God who asked for them, is He a murderer?!?! Oh yeah, that’s in the OLD Testament, that must mean it doesn’t count. Get Off our site Willa! YEAH! and STAY OFF!

Axel E. says - “You’re not only fat and drink beer, you egomanic, you’re also mean…..you pushed this poor unbalanced individual and her other half over the edge…..maybe even postal- you insensitive brute.  Dead chickens and kids are fun?” In THIS context they are – A baby in diapers crawling around on the floor of a chicken slaughterhouse covered in blood and guts, not all that funny.

Eric W. says - Somebody needs to put that crazy b_ _ _ h out of her misery!

Adolf B. says - I apologize for my comment however I do think the arguments aren’t that great. Maybe you can structure it some more? Other that that I do appreciate the post and the contribution   Maybe YOU can stop being so uppity and pretentious and tell us what you really think. (you vegetarian nut job!). . . or maybe not.
