Let's not argue.
I've tried to go vegetarian, and planned on going vegan,but my parents poked fun at me,and all the eat is meat(There's hardly any fruits or vegetables in our fridge :( ).But I was going to starve to death if I didn't eat meat I still feel guilty eating meat I eat alot less now than before.
When an animal can stop me from killing it or provide a thought provoking reason for me not to kill it, skin it, and continue the food cycle I shall become a vegetarian or a vegan. I wish you all the happiness in the world for choosing a lifestyle that suits you.
But I want to ask a few things of real vegetarians:
Why do you feel guilty? Do animals care if they kill and eat your remains? Does it matter to you if I continue to slaughter animals and eat them? Should it matter to you? Do you believe humans developed on a diet of fruits and vegetables only?
Now, I am not some sick 16oz sirloin eating monster, I maintain a healthy fighting weight and I probably consume about 4-8oz of meat in a day (about double on the high-end of a normal ration). I don't particularly obsess over meat and I tend to like soy milk and the other interesting things in life. But I find when I deal with the vegan students I have this overwhelming urge to start chowing down on a hot dog in front of them just for the cheap thrill of their horror.
Feeling guilty for eating a cow isn't wrong, it's possibly ludicrous, but not wrong. I don't support inhumane treatment, such as cramped chicken coops of 10,000 birds but that has more to do with the quality of my meat than the desire for a chicken to run free (as if they would normally care to). So, I think I said my peace, I want to hear what you vegan kids think.
