Hang about, causing death is NOT causing harm? Isn't something DEAD at the end of it?
Death is GOOD?
What are you on about, respecting vegans and vegetarians and all that rubbish, that is not what this is about, and I am offended that you think my opinions are based purely on this, being vegan or vegetarian. Who are you to say what I respect and what I dont?

If you do believe in what you eat, my sense is that there are even some vegans on this forum who will respect what you believe, even if it's not what they believe, just as you respect what they believe even though you feel differently. I still have to believe that mutual respect is a possibility.

What I eat is based on what I believe, not about who respects my opinion or choices about what to eat. I go to sleep at night with a clear concience.

I have a lot of respect for choosing to be vegan. I have no respect for thinking that you're morally superior because you've chosen to be vegan, and absolutely everyone else is "rationalizing" and couldn't possibly have any honest reason for her choices.

I don't care if you or anyone respects my food choices, and I don't get where being 'morally superior' enters the picture. I am where I am based on what I know and have learnt and what I have done with that information. The reason for my choices are 'honest' and I dont claim or suggest anyone has moral superiourity because of where they are on the journey.
I remain puzzled at your intentions in these threads, what is the outcome you are wanting? For people who you are aiming this at, the vegans and vegetarians to say , oh you know what? You are RIGHT, I will start eating meat again and think about the lives of my food and making sure they are not cruelly treated, up untill the point of DEATH.
