Moral questions for veganism

Hypothetically, you are a vegan with an iPhone.

Your choice to become a vegan was because you determined it to be morally correct.

Your moral evaluation is based primarily on two considerations

• That factory farming is harming the environment
• That treating animals inhumanely is, well, inhumane

Refactor this code: URL Matching Edition
--

So I have Pages, in a nested set so that each page has parent. That allows me to have urls like:

    /foo/bar

where the Page with permalink 'foo' has a child with the permalink 'bar'. In my routes.rb I have a general catch-all route as my last route. 

    map.page '/*tree', :controller => 'pages', :action => 'show'
