| Some months ago my wife stopped eating dead | | | | between you. Killing is bad enough but to then eat |
| bodies, She became a full time vegetarian and still is. | | | | the dead body? No, something's not quite right about |
| This has had an affect on me. I'm like a vampire that | | | | that. I'm against the killing of all animals unless it's |
| has rationed its blood intake. I have reduced my | | | | absolutely necessary and I think it won't be long now |
| meat consumption and now regard food in a | | | | before I stop eating meat entirely. My lust for blood |
| different light than previously. Meat does not have to | | | | is gradually fading. Anyway, the meat nowadays is |
| be the main course anymore. In fact, my food | | | | not so good. Not like the old days when it was |
| horizon has widened greatly. It didn't happen | | | | natural and free range. Nowadays its caged, |
| overnight. Frequently over the years my wife and I | | | | chemicalized, forced fed and doped-up with things to |
| (married 35 years) discussed the rights and wrongs | | | | make it grow faster. We're probably better not |
| of eating other animals - basically eating dead flesh. | | | | eating it anyway. I've already started eating more |
| As pet lovers we both agreed it was wrong for | | | | vegetables and fruit. It's so easy to knock-up a |
| many reasons and could find nothing to really justify | | | | veggie stir fry and some boiled rice or a pasta dish |
| it. It was when we started getting more pets and | | | | with a nice sauce. However I've found the dining out |
| even closer to understanding animal life that the | | | | scene does not cater well for vegetarians. I think |
| message became clearer. When you form strong | | | | there's a lot more that could be done to create good |
| friendships with other creatures you begin to realize | | | | and tasty meals for vegetarians. Chefs need to think |
| they are the same as us in many ways. It's | | | | outside the meat square. It would be good if they |
| especially apparent when you live close with them | | | | trained chefs to have a less meaty outlook. What do |
| and they become part of the family, part of your life. | | | | you think? Is eating dead bodies really right? |
