I don’t know about y’all, but if I grew up in a country that never has the news criticizing its leaders, I’d be very skepical and deduce that there is censorshop going on and the offical news could be exaggerated or entirely falsified. Do people in authoritarian countries actually just eat the propaganda? To what extent do they believe the propaganda?

    Did you choose to eat meat?

    Yes.

    What’s your logic?

    There is none, I wholly accept that it is entirely illogical and unethical. I am addicted to the flavor. If I could have the flavors and textures without the killing i would switch in a heartbeat, however.

    Which animals?

    Any so long as it is delicious. Even human as long as the human wanted it and was not killed for the meat.

    Would you eat dog?

    Yes. It’s no different than pig in my eyes.

    These questions probably don’t work on me because I was raised in a vegan/vegetarian restaurant as a child.

      They work perfectly actually. You have a proper grasp of your situation. I do question your moral choice of putting flavor above killing, but you get the concept and have put the thought in.

      That was my original point. The VAST majority of people never question their diet. You did. That’s rare.

      My own choice to be vegetarian has it’s own moral issues, but my thought is that: if I have to sit in a box 10 hours and a day work to survive in capitalism, I won’t expect less from farm animals.
