And most of those who eat meat do not know they have a choice, and in cold climates, it you choose to live there, you will eat seals, blubber whales etc, and not canned vegetables. I'm not sure if eating soybeans and olive oil will be sufficient. Eskimo people didn't used to have a choice, and I'm not sure about now. Ethics and morality don't depend too much on diet although perhaps its a factor India is full of vegetarians and they have the atomic bomb and an advanced military. Do you think a soldier who is a vegetartian won't kill you? Larry Epston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps your concens embrace only one. That's another matter of choice. Larry Epston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
