Confessions of a hypocrite:
I have a soft spot for pigs.
Also for bacon.
I have the luxury of sourcing my pork from local farms where the pigs have a good life and one bad day. (See top photo)
I abandon all principles and ethics on entering Chinese restaurants. (see lower photo)
If I had to slaughter the animals myself. I would be a vegetarian.
.
Me too, but unfortunately I was born a carnivorous creature, I finally followed a doctor's advice after always getting "L" on blood work regarding protein. I followed the Atkin diet for a few months, increased my protein greatly and the "L" disappeared. I make an effort to eat more protein (tofu doesn't really count) and make it a practice to say thanks to the animal who flesh becomes mine.
I SO MUCH agree with you....
