RE: My adventurer grandfather, and how he tried to turn me into Lara Croft
It is far from easy, indeed... I often feel like an hypocrite because while I cannot bring myself to kill animals with my own hands (be it chicken, mice, even small insects and spiders), I have no qualms on eating a nice piece of grilled salmon or a juicy steak. I feel like we would all be a lot more moderate in our meat consumption if we had to kill the animals ourselves!
I am very grateful with my grandfather for the wealth of experiences that we got to share during these trips and adventures. :-)
I hear you on slaughtering your own food. That is the reason I am mostly vegetarian these days. Although, at a pinch, I'm fairly confident, if I had to do it, I could.
Absolutely, there would be far less meat consumption if people had to come into contact with the process. We would be causing far less environmental damage with less meat consumption. Most people would also be in a better state of health with less meat consumption.
The experiences we share with our family are the greatest inheritance we can receive. That said, for some people, it could also be a curse.
