So you are saying they are vegetarians not by choice but because they have to be? The problems with this include: 1. Anything in the baking process could have been the culprit (dont forgot the nasty mix of things and the fact that it wasnt even cooked enough to kill the worms). 2. Not every pony shown in the muffin crowd is seen sick, maybe we just dont see them, or maybe they all dont get sick. 2a If they dont all get sick, and vegetarianism is a choice, (like for us) then some of them will choose to not be vegetarians. 2a1 Proof of this can be found by the fact that the ponies dont even bother to 'rescue' the worms. They just throw them in the trash. 3. Just finding something like a worm in your food and maybe even taking a bite out of one could be more than enough to make them sick. 4. Even if they are incapable of eating worm meat, not all meat is the same, and more importantly there is still lard and other animal by products (ie gelatin is made of animals) that they could be eating, And further if not eating meat is biologically forced onto them, rather than being a moral choice, then they have no reason not to use those animals for lard or collagen. As far as the pigs are concerned, it is plainly obvious that we have put more thought into them then the show staff. Lauren told someone who asked about them on her DA and she said they find truffles. 1. There is no evidence of this in show. 2. She didnt want trains in the show or any more Alicorns (what she wants is always canon) 3. She didnt even deny that they are used for food. (see the link in first post for more) 4. Just because the pigs are used for 1 thing, it dosent mean that is the only thing they are used for. Especially when you consider things like the fact that Applejack was fine putting live worms into muffins and baking them, and after finding them, alive, they simply throw them into the trash.
