I think this is a great idea… For over a year my answering machine says this: Hello, you’ve reached the home of the Elliott’s and we’re a meat free household… Please leave a message – and remember: if you love animals… don’t eat them!

I don’t know how this could be termed “obnoxious” – perhaps more information than one wanted… But hey – it’s my phone in my home!

I think if we continue to tip-toe along always being so ultimately uber careful not to “offend” anyone’s “sensibilities” we will be absolutely silenced… I mean… gagged.

Speaking the truth in an informative (respectful) way should not be a threat to anyone unless they are thugs – In which case, do you really want to cower to them?

Oh, please! It’s voicemail, not door-to-door proselytizing or late-night telemarketing! Get real, Nick.

We either stay silent and hope the omnis change their minds eventually or we do something and try to make a change in the world. I choose the latter.

This is probably one of the best ways to make people think vegans are obnoxious.
