I would force myself to catch some fish. I wouldn't like it but I would force myself. As I said before, I don't think it's very healthy to be a total vegan.

I live in a city, so I obviously don't have to find my own food. I can go to the store or to a restaurant. When you think about it, I am basically hiring someone to get the food for me. I know I am being somewhat of a hypocrite in occasionally eating meat, since I wouldn't have the heart to kill a cow myself.

I will tell you one thing. From everything I have heard, the conditions and the way animals are treated in slaughterhouses is supposed to be horrific. This is an area where I think the government should be even more stringent in terms of making sure the animals are treated in a humane way.

the only difference between you and a hunter is the hunter cuts out the middle man. i think people have lost touch with certain things because they go to a store and buy sanitary packages of 'meat'. it's beef, not cow. or pork, not pig.
