RE: My "Convince Me" Challenge - Why I still eat meat (more correctly - Why I include meat in my diet)

in #istilleatmeat7 years ago

👏👏🙌
This was a wonderful narrative. I loved it. I think while it is not bad if we should have our own principles and believes, its not good for us to make those that don't believe what we believe appear to be bad. Extremism is dangerous. Chauvinism also.
I know a lot of vegans, and I respect their reasons for being vegans- most of them say spiritual and health, but I still eat meat because I see nothing bad in it.

Heaven forbid we are driven into a food shortage crisis (and we are never far from one); it will be interesting to see how many cruel free enthusiasts will hang onto this limited belief in a time are crisis? I truly don’t believe it is something people would sacrifice themselves for - to save an animal. If you do then you would truly be one of the few that deserve the tag cruelty free.

This reminds me of the war in my country over 40 years ago, where hunger and the need to survive made innocent civilians to eat almost anything- lizards, rats, snake etc. Its not a palatable experience at all.

Once again, this was a superb write up

@ikechi - Thank-you for you comments, support and insights! It is greatly appreciated. :)

In reality, I am not against veganism OR cruelty free lifestyle, however it is not for everyone. I also disapprove of the fact that it is touted as a cure all, when in fact it is just another -ism being exploited by some capitalists for financial gain.
