yeah but my point is that what you eat or dont eat is your own personal business and most veggies or ethical meat eaters shouldnt have to justify why they eat what they dont.
Imagine if the majority of the human race were veggies and every time you ate a bacon sandwich you had to explain why you were that way, how long would it take you to get fed up explaining this... and how pompus would the guy have sounded in a group of 15 people saying he was an ethical meat eater, he didnt invent the word veggie, he just gets on with his life by his standards not others...
But i know what you mean, the amount of meat eaters that looked at me funny when i said i was a veggie on one of the ray mears courses, but when it came to them skinning a rabbit so that they could have a meal later, man half of them looked as if they would keel over and be sick straight away.
I wonder how many modern people could still eat meat if they had to do the slaughter and food prep themselves? not many i think, half the kids now days dont even know where there food comes from! so i guess thats only natural because we have lost our roots from nature so quickly in the last few hundred years..

I totally agree with you, all meat eaters should have to work a week in an abbatoir each year to gain a meat eating licence! People should be aware of what is going on, not just pick it up in a plastic tray at Tesco.
