Columnist presents a distorted view of Meatless Mondays

Nate Rushing, the point of eliminating meat one day a week is not strictly or primarily health related, although you do make some valid points even if you meant them to sound snarky and to ridicule the vegan/vegetarian movement.
Well, I guess the overwhelming number of us in support of Meatless Mondays were expecting a column like Nate Rushing’s Thursday’s column sooner or later.
Since the beginning of this year, I’ve watched certain UF fans express more negativity toward UF athletes and coaches than I ever thought possible.
Perhaps Alden Gillespy should have looked up the definition of discrimination before writing his Wednesday guest column.
I agree with Micah Lukowitz’s Monday letter. A strong alliance with Israel is absolutely essential to promoting democracy in the Middle East.
I take offense to comments people have made about UF having “the worst fans on the planet.”
Shame. Shame all around. Shame on the team and on the coaching staff, but shame on us, too.
In reference to Danielle Spatz’s Monday article, I’ve been a cyclist in this town for eight years now, and every single incident in which I’ve been close to being hit or actually hit by a car has been on campus.
Dear Gator Nation,
Some political commentators argue Israel is a strategic liability to the foreign policy interests of the United States and that America would benefit from lessening or cutting ties with Israel. Although the U.S.-Israel alliance, just like any alliance, isn’t perfect, the commonalities and intensive cooperation between Israel and the U.S. make Israel an indispensable American ally.
As if three losses and a baffling offensive scheme weren’t enough, the Gators football team managed to bump itself off the road to the Southeastern Conference championship Saturday, losing against the South Carolina Gamecocks 36 to 14.
I’d like to thank Chris Marth for the Friday letter highlighting a topic important to campus sustainability that both staff and students play a part in improving.
Throughout campus the topic of block tuition has been present in various events and recent conversations. However, what has been lacking from these conversations is how block tuition will affect students after college.
I am neither an Auburn fan nor an Auburn enemy, but the hypocrisy of The Gator Nation regarding Cameron Newton is astounding. It takes The Gator Nation but a few days to try and crucify him before any facts come out.
The officers of UF Shakespeare in the Park would like to stress their disbeliefs at Tuesday’s article on the “lack” of Shakespeare in Gainesville.
Next week is a pivotal point in the lives of so many young people.
I congratulate Chad Kimes in his Tuesday letter for taking 15 or more credits and graduating in record pace, but my previous letter was meant to bring light to those who will suffer with this proposal.
Of course, as a UF alumnus, I hate Auburn, and, of course, I hate Cameron Newton (in a strictly football sense of course).
I am disappointed The Editorial Board worried about a setback to the gay rights movement and gun control in the same sentence. On one hand, The Editorial Board wants to grant more rights, yet on the other it wants to take rights away. Did you know Florida is actually a state where concealed carry has been legal since 1988? In all that time, only 0.02 percent of carry permits have been revoked. That means 99.98 percent of permit holders have been perfectly good, law-abiding citizens.
