Oh man, meat is great. Steak, spinach, tomato, onion, and asparagus omelet. I could go for one of those right now. D: |
see i used to be a full-on meat enthusiast. i ate racehorse, zebra, ostrich, alligator, lamb, veal... everything basically.
i feel kind of dumb about this whole thing because i can't really rationalize it on ethical grounds. i feel like the only way to be an 'ethical' vegetarian is veganism based on consensuality, but i'm worried about my health too, and for me vegetarianism is like a middle ground where I can still enjoy some of the animal products I love (eggs and cheese!!) without necessarily eating the flesh of an animal of the world. It's like a balancing act of a.) what I can palate, b.) what's ethical as far as treatment of animals, c.) what's a healthy and natural human diet, not to mention d.) what makes me happy In this regard I could never see this as a black and white issue.
Even with the be-all-end-all of veganism, there are still ethical questions to ponder, as far as health and agriculture and environment go.
