Which brings to mind a personal struggle of my own. I love shellfish. Shrimp especially. But part of me wonders at the incredible waste of having to end 8 lives for my dinner when I eat shrimp versus only one (or more to the point, a fraction of one) for my dinner when I have a burger. Part of me is bothered by that. I still eat shrimp, of course, but a part of me wonders if I should strive to be as efficient as possible when ending the lives of animals to feed myself. Or maybe I'm just trying to feel good next time I shove a Double Double down my gullet.
But I could never be an emaciated paint-tossing vegan, so I guess I'll stick with being a lardass carnivore with a heavy conscience and a lot of questions about the meaning of life.
