I would just like to preface this post by saying I am not an animal hater and if you are a fan of PETA, you may not want to read. Or if you are a vegetarian. These are MY personal opinions and his is MY blog. So there.
PETA? I just don't get it. I am on board with not killing whales for our make-up an oil and I get the need to regulate the "Michael Vicks" of the world, but I do not think it is morally wrong to eat meat and dairy products. It's how nature works. We just happen to be at the very top of the food chain. The animals we eat also eat other animals and so on and so on. Do we discriminate against bears, for example, for eating fish? Of course not. They need food to survive, as all living creatures do. We humans have been hunting using animals for many things for thousands of years. It's just been in the last 50 years or so that some idiot got it into their head that this was wrong. It is not wrong. Get over yourself. It just doesn't make sense. I eat meat (although I am not a huge-meat eater, but that has nothing to do with "animal rights"), I wear leather (no, I don't rock the leather pants or mini skirt, just belts!), and I'm sure there are more ways in which I benefit from animals. I am still a good person. All of your hateful, destructive, inappropriate protesting makes me think otherwise of you.
Now, our society being addicted to oil? THAT is a legitimate concern. Let's focus on that, mmmm-kay?

I used to have the same philosophy as you or at least I gave very little thought to the whole meat issue. However, having to drive past a meat processing plant TWICE a day and having lived within about 20 minutes of that whole hog farm abuse and then torturing myself even further to watch youtube videos of people in china skinning animals ALIVE and then when they are skinned the animals looking at their bleeding bodies STILL ALIVE and some for as long as 20 minutes....I really have a different take on this now :(
ABSOLUTELY! That is just wrong.
I am a self-proclaimed pescatarian. I've just never liked the taste of meat. Animals were put on this earth FOR EATING. It's called the FOOD CHAIN.
Basically i'm just reiterating and re-enforcing your thoughts.
