This is a good point. I don't know about the comparison of numbers of animals killed. But the point is taken. For my part, I am aware of what I consume--this is not just about killing animals to me. Responsibility and accountability is all actions is what I strive for.

You speak as if this issue has been settled in the minds of men. Take a survey of how many white American parents would be happy about their daughter mating with a black man, and you might notice some tunes changing right quick.
Yes, that's very true (unbelievably so). But change seldom happens in one lump. There is a process involved, but the first step is becoming aware of it.
