[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 1111026, member: 101136"] Hi, My mum was a vegetarian for about 30 years..? In fact, for a fair period of it full on vegan once us kids had all left home. Her choice was ehthical.. My dad on the other hand was a carnivore. Opposite ends of the spectrum. Both respecting eachothers views. (Lol, though not fully understanding them.) When my dad became ill. I noticed mum turned to the "dark side" starting with bacon.. By this time she was his full time carer. (An eliment of practicality on the "food prep" front?) Funny enough. I was in a band with a vegetarian guitarist & bacon turned him too.. My feeling on ethical choice is personal. I have heard stories of dog owners imposing vegitarian diets on dogs & kids... But by the same standard. I feel a family member should not have to suffer ridicule for their ethical diatary choice either.. Now I have a dog. His diet is protein. Actually white meat, his guts get dodgy on the red.. Looking at some of the dog food "recipes" on the label is insane.. I read one a while back that said "pasta & Ragoo".. I don't even use biscuit mixer.. Fair enough. You might think being a diabetic might have some influence? But how many dogs do you know can cook Italian.. In summary. (& trying not to waffle too much Darwin.) Our evolution is down to protein... Man's brain has evolved to this point (all that we have achieved so far.) So thanks to meat, all our thoughts, dreams, imaginations & even the ethical decision making, like "ironically" becoming a vegan... ;) Just to add; my respect to ethical choice! :cool: [/QUOTE]
