Of course it's a free country and everyone can abstain from whatever they want.

You know, no one said it was bad. I said it twice, it's a personal choice. I looked at a cow one day and suddenly didn't see a difference between eating a cow and eating my own cat. So, rather than decide it's okay for me to eat my own cat, I decided it's no longer okay for me to eat cows. Not having that kind of emotional attachment to plants (which I seem to be able to kill just by looking at them sideways, even though I attempt plant ownership with the best of intentions), I don't feel so bad about consuming them. And, same goes for fish. That may change in future; I don't know.

But I doubt I'll ever become one of those peole who ONLY eat what's fallen off the vine. I just...I'd be so effin' hungry all the time. Heh.

I hope you don't mind but these are my sentiments exactally.

For me eating a carrot does not envoke the same feelings as eating cow. But that may have to do with what I saw coming home from the Grand Canyon. I know my red meat consumption dropped drastically after that.

But I doubt I'll ever become one of those peole who ONLY eat what's fallen off the vine. I just...I'd be so effin' hungry all the time. Heh.

Oh heck no.

And I'm not getting rid of my leather boots or suede coats. And that's OK.

Oh, I never meant you'd said that. Sorry! I just got off on a little rant there. I hate when people try to push the concept that it's a true sin. I know you'd never do that, babe.

Mmmm tasty fuzzy babies....
