If you said the difference between your home raised chickens and factory chickens was infinitesimal then you weren't helping your side of the argument at all.


Here's my deal: you can eat meat if you want, and you should not bash vegans over the head with it. Vegans can not eat meat if they want, and they shouldn't bash you over the head with it. I take a similar approach with religious views. It sure as hell isn't the job of the person with another religion to make sure their religious beliefs make perfect sense to me. It just isn't, and I'm not going to get in a heated argument over it. A discussion, sure. But no trying to win either person over to the other side or prove someone wrong to the bone. Same with food, if their reason for being vegan is that they think using animals for food is wrong, that's alright with me, because it isn't fucking about convincing me. Personal morals often appear rather nonsensical and glossy to me, I don't see why food-related ones would be any different.

"Just fire up a new window in your web browser for a moment and type in the word 'healing' under Google Images...see what I mean?  It's all colors, lights, hands butterflies, beatific expressions...

the reality of healing any living system is pain, swelling, itching, aches, exhaustion, and chaos."
