I know I would be. If someone were to tell what I eat is wrong, as far as meat I'd tell them to get lost and get bent is fewer words.
You just wouldn't be with a vegetarian to begin with. Ime, people tend to hang out with likes so intimate paths usually don't cross for it to be an issue.
Yea, we've made it work. But, you know what I've done and sacrificed for my husband. In the long run the investment has paid off 100 fold for him. And likewise in return for me. We both give 100% to the marriage. Either way, it is amazing on his part. He's just an amazing guy. I love him so much. He's my best friend *sappy sweet nothings*
I trust him. It's not about food, but ethics and compassion.
So in your mind it is okay to kill a fish but not to choke a chicken on the basis of eithics? What makes the fish somehow below a cow?
And this kill on a cow or a pig is humane, as humane can be. It is instant without any struggle of suffering.
Following your logic you have no problems killing a cockroach or swatting a fly?
I have mixed views about eating meat... part of me has no problem.... man is a carnivore... just look at the fact that we have canine type teeth, prehistoric man hunted animals.
I think if it is done humanely... as much as possible... quick death...treated respectfully... IDK.
But then the Buddhist teachings sorta come out... IDK.
I want some too. Wait, what about the feelings of the barley, the yeast, popcorn's feelings too. Think of the heat and pressure that cause that explosion, we don't give a second thought to the kernal of corn.

Considering we have been eating critters since before the discovery of fire it makes for an interesting relationship.
