are you a vegetarian - then read this


meat is meat and a man must eat. i say. had an interesting argument a day or two ago. about vegetarians. with vegetarians. i asked them why. did you know that most vegetarians eat fish. i though that was a meat. i say. the most common answer they give is the cruelty to animals thing. it is inhumane to eat animals that suffered. that was handled in a cruel way. that live under terrible conditions only for man to slaugther and feast. well. i say. they might have a point. but. i ask. if the inhumane thing is the issue. what about child labour i ask. do they wear clothes and brand made and crafted at the hand of an innocent child. your leather handbag madam. stamped by the small feet of a little boy or girl. the perfect close stiching on your most expensive shoes. done by small hands. which is worse i ask. silence. no reply. which is worse i ask. the little boy has a soul. the animal does not. which is worse madam. the child or the animal. had you said you dont like the taste of meat you would have been safe. but no. you opted for door two because you thought it would be the stronger argument. wrong. i ask. which is worse. child versus animal. you chew on that and let me know. me. i dont like meat that much. but i have my reasons the right way round though.

huh...how funny. I had a simalar conversation just this week along these lines. Except it was about comparing McD's and people who are against it with child labour. What you say is very thought provoking.
Keep on challenging peoples minds.

I also tried to be a vegetarian once. I tried it for a while and it went o.k, but I could not take it anymore after about 25 minutes without meat. I love meat!!!!!!
