And I think I OUGHT to eat vegetarian, and I used to, and so I say I’m a lazy vegetarian. We don’t buy meat for home consumption, but I don’t worry about it when I eat out. Sometimes I have discussions about “humane” meat consumption… which has it’s own logical problems, as you might imagine. But frankly, I don’t see how any compassionate person can opt into the mass-market meat industry, once they see how cruel and horrid the slaughterhouse and big-chicken-farm systems are. It’s only by refusing to see, or sticking fingers in my ears and singing “LALALALALA” that I escape that reality. If you’re brave, do some research on the internet and see the cruelty. I’m sure I’ll return to vegetarianism at some point simply because I won’t be able to stand the cognitive dissonance any more.
