I just tell folks we all have our own values and beliefs. I won’t push mine on you, don’t push yours on me and we’ll get along just fine.Seems like great advice. Yeah, Walmart has those ~$4 roast chickens, but you have to wonder what kind of life that chicken had if the company can still profit after keeping, feeding, and transporting it. And even if it's not a moral thing, I doubt those chickens have as many nutrients as a home-raised chicken.
Also, on the topic of vegans not understanding, here is an article my vegetarian sister coincidentally sent me on the day I was preordering my meat birds (but did not and will not be telling her abiut the meat birds): https://www.elwooddogmeat.com/?fbcl...POwKMTGwrxorjPBCMEj-blM_v4RiMg7tlZk&fs=e&s=cl
I get what it's trying to say, but this kind of argument doesn't take into account that humans may not have survived throughout history without meat, and that other species of animals kill other animals for food. Should we now also be getting upset at our house cats for trapping, playing with, and eating mice? Not trying to start a convo about this topic because I think we are mostly in agreement here, but I just thought the timing was funny for her to send me that.
So yeah, I'll skip discussing those things with her and just come to BYC.
