I've always been a bit squeamish about animals rights (having given up McDonalds and KFC, not because of health reasons, but because of reports of animal cruelty) but thanks to Gordon Ramsay's F Word in which he raised lambs in his back garden only to slaughter them on television, I am now seriously considering becoming a vegetarian. Apparently, quite a few people are. It really does make a difference to me when I see exactly how these things are done.
Thoughts? Opinions?
Yeah I have a lot of opinions. I will try and not overwhelm you.
ReplyDeleteWe are omnivores, we are animals that need to consume animal products to maintain a healthy diet.
Animals that we raise for food get a much better life than ones that live out in the wild. With out us and our need to eat them they would not even exist.
It is good to know where your food comes from and how it is killed. You might try reading The Omnivore's Dilemma. A very interesting book and it will open your eyes about what you eat (animal and vegetable).
