I'm glad I stopped eating meat a few years ago, though I still do eat it now and then: on Thanksgiving, when served it at a friend's dinner table, when temptation gets the better of me. Hypocrisy is not the worst of sins, in my opinion. I still eat fish, but a conservationist I heard on public radio argued that we'd do better to stop eating wild-caught fish, many of which are threatened with extinction, and eat chicken, beef, pork, etc. from domesticated sources that are in no danger of extinction. Food for thought. I was reacting to the cruelty of the conditions for factory-raised animals, while she was worried about species extinction, an equally valid objection, but one that leads to an antithetical conclusion. Maybe veganism is the answer, though I don't see any reason not to eat free-range eggs, or cheese.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03482035057263568347noreply@blogger.com
