I think the idea of the article was great; the method of arriving at the conclusion was just bizarre. The odd thing is that I'm a vegetarian and I agree with most of the points made by a guy who ate a dog. Now that is bizarre.deraj1013https://www.blogger.com/profile/13771343213187405700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783246272229492456.post-43813167092342454912010-02-08T16:56:03.201-05:002010-02-08T16:56:03.201-05:00Strangely enough (since I am not the vegetarian :)...Strangely enough (since I am not the vegetarian :)), I judge meat-eaters who will not confront the reality of eating meat. I have never personally killed an animal to eat it, but I think I could because I want to eat it. People who think chicken comes in neat little plastic wrapped containers bug me - a living animal was sacrificed for me to eat it. I should have respect and awareness of that Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04225094735980337422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783246272229492456.post-88219001455784531162010-02-08T16:45:40.353-05:002010-02-08T16:45:40.353-05:00Or perhaps it is another trait that demonstraits t...Or perhaps it is another trait that demonstraits the disconnect people have with where their food comes from. People in America are not comfortable eating dogs because within their socially constructed reality, dogs ihnabit the role of pets. However, the same rules do not apply for pigs, who are identified by society as food. <br /><br />Sometimes, social constructs that exist in other cultures deraj1013https://www.blogger.com/profile/13771343213187405700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783246272229492456.post-20199729578588510892010-02-08T14:29:26.044-05:002010-02-08T14:29:26.044-05:00Good work.Good to know there are places in Columbu...Good work.Good to know there are places in Columbus, Oh that have decent vegetarian options.I will be visiting your blog frequently :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783246272229492456.post-2667474506404320952010-02-07T20:40:25.957-05:002010-02-07T20:40:25.957-05:00This is one of my biggest pet peeves with people. ...This is one of my biggest pet peeves with people. Why are you skeeved out by the idea of eating chicken feet when you're perfectly happy to eat a chicken breast - really, they're all chicken parts. There's nothing inherently more appealing about one part of a body than another. Same with different animals... if it is raised to be food, eat it. Social constructs are so weird.Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04225094735980337422noreply@blogger.com
