what about the horticulturists among us that see plants as beautiful?... i feel the pain of the beans who grow in captivity and then get boiled to death. Soybeans forced to live in long rows, suppressing their desire to grow free, nourished by petroleum products and diesel tractors...
I personally feel that tofu is the devil's excrement, but since i don't believe in the devil it is only metaphorical, and anyway, he would probably be in charge of habanero pepper production anyway.
Just had some fantastic trout caught through the ice and had the thought that the uncaught ones now have more food for them and room to grow in their niche, unhassled by the big ones (the 1%) that i catch who dominate and suppress the others.
J/K, i think that your personal choice of avoidance of red meat and clucking yardbirds and newtswine is very healthy and easier on the planet.
Do you still eat fish?
