The reason I’m vegetarian is more to environmental concerns than some particular affection for so called ‘animals.’ I mean, if I love ‘animals’ so much why don’t I have a house full of armadillos? Armadillos are dogs too, you know?
I absorbed my views from a documentary, which told me to start by dropping the beef. A week later, I half way through eating a cheeseburger before I remembered my new path to enlightenment. We will never know if I finished the burger that day.
Take a moment to think about what ‘dropping the beef,’ might mean if you hadn’t read it in that context. How unpleasant. Apologise to yourself, immediately, for what you came up with.
If it’s something you celebrate: Happy Thanksgiving!
