Actually, you make excellent points, AhSo, and you tell it like it is on this subject, which I do appreciate.
I spent a considerable number of years trying to decide whether or not to be a vegetarian. In fact, for much of the time I thought I was one. I was even a vegan for a while. Some of my best friends, and also my sister is a vegetarian (she always detested meat of any kind -- and I will say, she has always been more kind-hearted to animals than most people I have known).
However, I drifted back into that river again, that river of denial we all talk about. So, yes, meat is on my menu. At times. Along with "cage free" eggs, and organic this, and organic that.
And, last night, I had a veggie burger on a toasted crumpet with my own hydroponic lettuce! I admit that the mayo and dijon mustard were also part of the big event.
How about that!
Of course, we can all do better...and we will. It's written in the stars. It's happening even as we speak.
