Thanks, caribe and mcrib-- it was links like those 6 years ago that helped me make my decision to stop being part of the demand for meat.

It just makes me wonder if my very existence is an evil on some level in terms of mygood - mybad < 0.

You mean that you don't use your oven to store sweaters? Ooh, we can compare notes later on the best cereals.

I still eat meat I just make sure that it doesn't come from a place that is destroying the environment just to lower the cost. I have no problem eating a pig, chicken, cow, turkey, etc. that had a content life doing what it naturally does. I do have a big problem buying anything from a factory farm where the animals spend their brief lives being fattened in misery just so McDonalds can sell a chicken sandwich for 99 cents. Meat that is produced this way costs more, the solution to that is to eat less meat. You are not going to die if you don't have meat with every meal. And it certainly will not cause you to fall on your proj bro/sis. You can still pee on it and eat less meat.

if you want a quick low-cal flavorful snack - get the garden burgers (not the kind designed to taste like meat) and add a little bit of salsa on top. yummy.

i'm not a vegetarian. i was for 13 years. then i decided to re-evaluate my decision. decided i like meat. but not a lot of it. maybe 4 or 5 meaty meals per week.

Maybe that's why we aren't being bombarded with radio signals from space. Once this equation permeates all conciousness, the thinking beings exterminate the self replicating molecule.
