Skittles Supports Unnecessary Animal Testing - Comments

Let's just drop it, Isola, okay?

This is the internet. A person being polite on the internet is like a person not talking shit.

I wasn't aware that people *still* did this. Its stupid! Look at people, then look at chocolate. Erg.
And it isnt a Vegan/Vegeterian Vs Meat Eaters article, why would you all drag that up?
Stop bickering please.

Kyra:

If you're really tired all the time, after getting a full night of sleep, you're probably lacking in iron.

If you have white spots randomly on your nails, you may have a calcium deficiency.

Those are the only nutrient deficiency symptoms I can remember off the top of my head at the moment, but it's a start, haha.

Acid:

Oh, I'll willingly admit that my comment wasn't nice, but I'm not going to say it's rude... I'd go on the side of sarcastic, yes. But I don't think I'd say it's really rude or demeaning.

Vegan and Vegetarian Nutrition:

One more thing, as much I do enjoy the arguments,that are going down in the comment section, I suggest just letting it go. These are people, just like everyone else, and they won't change over one article.

Take a breather before you punch a hole in the wall.

Thanks, Kyra.

acid (yet again):

Awesome, thank you. I'm not exactly sure what it is I'm lacking. I'm planning on doing more research when I get the chance to after I've figured out what it is I'm lacking. Ha! Thank you a ton for the link.

Isola:

Do you consider this polite and non-demeaning?

"Ah, lookie at this right here. We've got a little comedian here."

Please re-read your comments.

acid:

Well, I'll be more than happy to read it again if you do. :) It's not a bad article, not at all. Better than what I can write, actually.

I find this page on iron very helpful, but I do not know exactly what you need:

How am I not being civil? It's not like I'm saying, "Vegetarians are [i]the[/i] most idiotic group of people on the face of the earth." And I'm not victimising anyone. Therefore, I don't see how I'm being hostile or anything

Kyra:

That really depends on what you're not getting enough of. If it's iron, cereal has tons of iron in it. I could go get a link for you if you want. :)

Kyra:

You are right, and I should've taken way more time on this article. Maybe I'll rewrite it later.

In regards to this little argument going on below me...

I'll admit I'm a vegetarian, and that I'm not getting enough nutrition. acid, what do you suggest I eat in order to get the needed proteins as a vegetarian? Just figured you've got some information on this. :) Thanks.

Also, I did not say I supported PETA 100%.

If you are still going to persist on being rude, we could always take it to the private inbox.

Yawn. It's just an article. Animal testing is bad blah blah blah.

Look, I still like Skittles and I still support the Mars company because I like it's products maybe not it's policy but if you feel so passionate about this subject then write a letter to the company, or to congress.

And PETA is hypocritical. http://www.consumerfreedom.com/pressRelease_detail.cfm/release/258

I liked where this article was going. However, the argument would have been more convincing if you included evidence, sources, and both sides of this controversy (maybe a defense from the company if you could find one). In addition, it'd be cool if you could just pack us with information about the company, when they started, and what candy brands are under their name. That way, the people who agree with you (not saying I don't agree) could avoid these candies. See what I mean?

Isola Lewis:

I do not see how my comment was rude. I am trying my best to keep my head, but you're obviously not even trying to slightest bit. You could either express your opinion in a civil manner or leave.
