Our responses aren't towards veg*ism itself, but your hyperbole and attitude about it. Your attacking others and noting your moral superiority through not eating meat is at issue.
The "science" you use to justify your position (to yourself, no one else cares that much) is laughable on a young earth creationist "Jesus riding a dinosaur" level.

I'd eat dinosaurs if I could. Preferrably fatty and delicious brachiosaurs, not those stringy raptors.

Don't ask Drolgin, pretty sure those Nords just drink mead.
This is the funniest vegan-related thing I've ever seen (I'm unsure if that's hyperbole or not). If Spang went this route, he'd do a better job converting people.

Well, if we assume that mammoth would taste similar to elephant, then it'd be somewhat gamey and a lot sweeter than, say, beef. Going too heavy on the tannins wouldn't work (Cab Sauv), so perhaps a beefy new world syrah or zinfandel, or even better: a good Amarone.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - December 9, 2011 Salinas, CA – Pacific International Marketing (“Pacific”) is working with the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and California Department of Public Health to coordinate a recall of Cilantro for potential contamination with Salmonella. FDA has advised that a sample of Pacific Cilantro has tested positive for Salmonella. A total of 6,141 cartons of Cilantro are being recalled.
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
More proof veggies are out to do you harm.

The salmonella most likely originated from animal feces.

Okay.
Salmonella live in the intestinal tracts of humans and other animals, including birds. Humans are usually infected by eating foods contaminated with animal feces. Contaminated foods are often of animal origin, such as beef, poultry, milk or eggs, but any food, including fruits and vegetables, may become contaminated. Contaminated foods usually look and smell normal and the contamination should not be expected to be visible.

Imagine how many more cases of Salmonella there would be if we didn't kill animals. We're doing you a favor.
Birds are shitting on your vegetables. I'm pretty sure that's a sign not to eat them.

Let's say this particular case of salmonella originated from a plant. That still doesn't change the fact that most cases of salmonella originate from animals.

At the very least, I'd like to see factory farming eliminated. The number of salmonella cases and other such things would plummet. Also, the number of animals tortured and slaughtered each year would plummet.

How do you figure that? My guess is A would increase initially at least and B would remain reasonably steady once the distribution system adjusted itself to the new norm.

Rapid-fire misuse of 'empathy' and 'torture' certainly do not give weight to said pseudoscience. Well, unless there was a quasi-science focusing solely on drama queens... actually, that may be the Fox Network.
