In regards to eating meat

[Lorna]

sorry monica, i wasn't meaning in respect to this thread, sorry if it came across that i was

i was meaning more generally in life, i agree that those who participate in the veggie debate voluntarily are inviting their point of view, regardless of that point of view, to be up for discussion because it is a divisive topic

i guess what i was thinking of when i wrote that post was you talking about your friend who now asks customers she is serving whether they understand the pain that the fish felt, that just feels, to me, intrusive to the customer being served. does that customer leave the interaction with your friend feeling uplifted, empowered, lighter from their interaction with your friend, or guilty, angry, upset? by having that interaction it's not just asking a question, it's asking a highly emotionally loaded question, for very sincere and heartfelt reasons, but it's still a loaded question

i don't know... i don't seem to be expressing myself very well at the moment. i just sense indignation within you and the reason i posted is that, personally, i haven't found that perspective on this topic to be helpful to me and so i wanted to share my experience.

my sincere apologies if i have misunderstood or caused you upset
