Remember: Little Babies are Meat, Too

[bcholmes]

So I'm still being horribly indecisive about giving up meat. In practice, I've stopped eating meat (except for fish) as of a week ago. I just seem to be wishy-washy about saying "I don't eat meat". I guess I figure that if I keep talking about it, I'll have investment in not eating meat, and it'll just sorta happen.

Stuff that's okay in my books: fish, eggs, dairy (although as I'm mildly lactose intolerant, I don't eat large amounts of dairy). I'm more torn about keeping the eggs than I am about the fish.

Stuff I expect to miss: souvlaki, ribs, and my favourite spaghetti recipe. And gyoza.

Seriously, if I had my own property, I'd raise my own food, and chow down on those chickens without a second thought

When I was in Haiti, I was present for (and to some extent, involved in) the death of a whole bunch of animals. I felt a whole lot better about those animals and the way they were slaughtered than I feel about food animals in North America.

Wise words my sister. However chickens always freak me out when they're killed (even though I saw my parents do it when I was a kid).
