I don't eat much meat, but it isn't for ethical reasons. It's because of my job. After chopping up over 15000 bodies, I have naturally developed a dislike for meaty things. Fillets are not too bad, but once there is a bone in it or a lump of fat or gristle, it makes me retch. Strange that... Also my girlfriend is a veggie, which means I don't eat meat at home. Strangely enough, Morrisons veggie sossies are much better than the real thing, and don't contain snouts and entrails. This is the only good thing about Morrisons that I can think of.
The thing that confuses me is why do people eat fish yet not meat? Aren't fish alive as well? Surely it's the same thing? I would rather see animals and fish alive than dissected and wrapped in cellothane, but wild animals or free range bred for food is acceptable as long as it is despatched humanely. I wouldn't go out in the wilds and kill an animal to eat if I don't have to. I have done it so I know I can if need be, but why should that creature die just because I decide to eat meat in the wild when Tescos is full of it that has been bred for that purpose? But if others want to that is fine by me. What bugs me most is people who preach their way and cannot accept other's habits. We all make our own minds up...
