And perhaps what I find most frustrating these days is that meat is the default option. In Texas, it's meat meat meat! And though I eat dairy, I am really feeling torn. I love dairy, but I don't love the dairy industry, even the local dairy from grass-fed cows. I'm torn between supporting Texas farms and not endorsing the cruelty of sending all the male babies off to become veal.Rosiecat24https://www.blogger.com/profile/07219527037186545061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822839939627192494.post-46269123876981743162012-03-12T11:26:46.463-05:002012-03-12T11:26:46.463-05:00I am probably the wrong vegan to ask this question...I am probably the wrong vegan to ask this question, because I'm not actually a vegan at all (I love you, happy eggs) but I would say: no, I don't think less of vegetarians or people who eat things from which I have decided to abstain for moral reasons. I recognize that my morals shift and my ideas change over time. I like to think my outlook on life is in a state of constant evolution. If someone has made thoughtful decisions about life, food, etc, and reached different conclusions, then I can appreciate that and even admire it. <br /><br />On the other hand, so many people don't think about the way their choices impact the world. Or they read the facts and then ignore them. Those are the people I get annoyed with, the people who make me angry and sad. But vegetarianism vs veganism? I see no reason to make it a competition. We all believe the same thing, in some way.Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07392552248911691182noreply@blogger.com
