In regards to eating meat

[3DMonkey]

Eating meat and thinking about an animal being killed are not the same thing, and they need not be joined.

This is exactly why people can go to the grocery store and buy a dyed piece of meat in a small package and not make the connection to the animal who died. There is a DISCONNECT.

In the same way, people can buy cheap plastic toys from China and not make the connection to sweat shops.

In the same way, Americans can be "patriotic" and cheer for our soldiers killing Iraqis or other foreign people (including civilians and children) and not make the connection that they are people too, with their own lives, feelings, families, and fears about us.

I have oPinions about this, but this is not what this thread is about, IMO.

Biting into a hot dog or anything else, vegetable or meat. That is it.

The 3 steps to Kevin Bacon game is comical to me, and I'm not here to discuss it.
