12. Zactly - Food for thought...

Before I read your post, I was going to post : "That hamburger you're eating once had a personality!"

Shamefully, I'm only a semi-vegetarian-- I still eat seafood (no octopus or squid), fish, chicken, & occasionally (holidays) beef & ham. I cannot watch my hubby & son eat their damn bloody steaks - once stayed in a restaurant's restroom until my son finished his.

I grew up on a farm where I got very emotionally attached to the critters.

Would most Americans eat dogs? Cats? Horses? Why not?

Where & how do folks draw their "lines"? We usually eat only what we've been conditioned to accept without thought.

Food for thought.
