I find ideologies quite frustrating to deal with, and that's why I thought of but didn't answer the test.
Consequentially the body needs certain nutrients in order to survive. That's it; I can't see the point of the supposed false dilemma in the whole meat/vegan stuff. Get the nutrients, anyhow; problem solved, no ideology needed.
Meat eater counterargument: But! Tastiness!
Vegan counterargument: But! Torture!
Very quickly leading to the usual:
-- You are an idiot!
-- And you're evil!
:-(
I didn't say those were comprehensive arguments for Veganism or Meateating, just that they're fairly succinct and compelling arguments against "don't need ideologies. Just get your nutrients somehow."
