And men are supposed to understand women? Can anyone decipher how a seemingly nice catholic girl turns into a blasphemous cannibal craving human fresh - boiled not fried.
And then the person who is the subject of a mildly spiced dinner of unimabinably small portions (wouldn't that be soup, nevermind) get's called rude?
Animals are my friends and I don't eat my friends - George Bernard Shaw - where does that leave us humans? Am I still high up in the pecking order? Or, is the female of the species hungrier (deadlier in the original) than the male?
#355 in '365 Good Reasons to be a Vegetarian': "Nothing can be more shocking and horrid than one of our kitchens sprinkled with blood and abounding with the cries of expiring victims or with the limbs of dead animals scattered or hung up here and there." - Alexander Pope
#349 in '365 Good Reasons to be a Vegetarian': Animals are adorable - "eating bits of them makes no sense." Your cute, playful cat, dog, rabbit, bird, or any other pet is adorable. Would you really enjoy cooking up your pet? "We stopped eating meat the day we happened to look out our window during Sunday lunch and saw our young lambs playing happily, as kittens do, in the fields," recalls Linda McCartney. "Eating bits of them suddenly made no sense. In fact, it was revolting."
Well flesh-eating ladies and germs, go easy on the meat, it takes 16 times the 'energy resources' to produce a pound of meat. 1.3 billion people could be fed vegetarian foodgrains, if we 'reduce' not 'eliminate' - 'reduce' our intake of livestock - which in turn have eaten a lot of vegetarian supplies.
Interesting, how un-related threads in life connect: a colleague wanted to boil and eat me, my grandfather gave me a book: 365 GOOD Reasons to be a Vegetarian' and an eco-friendly blog.
On a poetic parting note, #335: You can become the "voice of the voiceless" animals. American poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) believed human beings had an obligation to speak for the "speechless." She expressed her conviction in this verse:
I am the voice of the voiceless;
Through me the dumb shall speak,
Till the deaf world's ear be made to hear
The wrongs of the worldless weak...
And I am my brother's keeper,
And I will fight his fight;
And speak the word for beast and bird
Till the world shall set things right.
