Can’t grok the “somebody’s got to do it” rationale. If more folks stopped wanting, less creatures would need to die unnaturally and prematurely. You cannot get through this life without causing pain but you can try to minimize the totals and be conscious of and grateful for what you consume. Less is more. Now to practice what I preach.

This is true but shouldn’t give one license to throw one’s hands up and disregard the reality of the situation. We can choose to be better - that to me is the magic of life.

The thought of an afterlife looking into the eyes of all the animals who died just to feed me is why I stopped eating meat for a good while. I am weak, however. Maybe this will get me to cut back again. Thanks for posting this.
