Thank you!
My pain is nothing compared to what the animals endure.

Why is that sad? Doesn't guilt have a purpose?

She has an overwhelming earge to eat meat.... so much so that she's helping another friend care for there pigs on there small holding so she can 'justifie' eating mean again.
She is obviously conflicted. Maybe the diet was imposed on her.
I have a 23-year-old son who has never had a bite of meat in his life. I didn't give him the choice to eat meat, just like I didn't give him the choice to smoke cigarettes. But my husband and I were very low-key about it. We didn't make a big deal about it. It was just the way we lived, and we explained to him why.
But when he was older, of course he had the choice. He chose to stay vegetarian.
I can see how someone who was raised veg with an iron fist, might want to rebel against that.

Guilt has a purpose. Another name for guilt is conscience.

You find what natural? Eating something dead? I assume you aren't referring to the cruelty that you find 'natural'...?
