Definitely. i thought about linking you to this but it’s more of my reaction to Eating Animals that it is my entire stance on eating them. Maybe I’ll write another piece in general covering more in depth the reasons for my dietary switch.

Came and found this after our Twitter convo about meat eating. I think we have a lot in common, we just came to different conclusions. If Safran Foer is your inspiration, Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma is mine. I don’t eat factory farmed meat or eggs from caged hens, because I care about the treatment of animals, the treatment of the environment, and the treatment of the people who harvest and prepare our food.

i would be totally pissed if my female counterpart bought me something i don’t want. being a man means not wearing shit just because your ladyfriend asks you to.

also, vodka doubles as deodorant.

good point, I tend to forget about the ladies when it comes to things like this. will guys be pissed if their feminine counterpart buys them this new product?

Good thoughts. I’m guessing they are looking to get in the heads of female shoppers. You know, those twenty and thirty somethings that LOVE Target SO much.

That’s what I meant! I’m put off that people have to justify making ethical decisions about what they choose to eat. The people that freak out about other folks being vegans need to chill.

I’m not put off that you have the ammo, but that people would demand it of you.

Put off by the idea that I need ammunition for this life choice? Or put off that I feel the need for the ammunition? People seem to make a really big deal of not eating meat, like something’s wrong with you, you’re going to be unhealthy or that you’re better than them. I just want to be able to back up my beliefs and choices.

I don't know if you've read book review, but it's nice and enticing. Thanks for writing your thoughts on the matter. I'm glad that you have some ammo for your vegetarianism but at the same time, I'm put off that you have to have ammo to defend a most basic choice. You do what you do.

Thanks dude. And I hope I didn’t offend with the I Deserve statement, was just trying to make a point.
