Things you wish you could say

[Brooks_]

It was the best term I could come up with, and I never said all of them do that, just that that's how quite a few seem to act when they find out other people eat meet

In fairness, I have not seen KarynVA display that trait.

Agreed. People pretend to be morally superior because of other choices they make.

People are people. Vegetarian, vegan, meat-eaters. We all have insecurities and feelings of superiority about our various quirks and such. It's human nature.

Don't let it bother you.

True that!

In fairness, I have not seen KarynVA display that trait.

And I never specifically called them out for it

I'd love to be able to raise all of my meat I eat, but I can't were I live unfortunately. So we try to get most of it from neighbors (mainly beef). Rabbit and poultry I'm trying to get my family to only eat from what we raise, but pig, fish and usually lamb we end up getting from the store

And you have the courage to butcher yourself. For some, that pushes them to no meat. I'll support this more than the ones who adamantly preach animal welfare and then eat grocery meat because the package says magical things like humanely raised, grass fed or some other buzz words.

At least, buy from a local farmer. Meet your meat. Pay respect to the animal.

I hope to be able to buy like that when I'm in my new place. Even here, once every few years I buy half a bison for my red meat, and I have a good idea of how it was raised.

No, you did not. I just wanted it out there.

you don't have to get in my face to convince me of anything--if your reasonable point of view makes me reconsider, thanks! I learn something new every day

IMO, if one is concerned about the environment, animal welfare and eating wholesome, unadulterated food, the best way to make a difference is to grow/raise as much of your own food as possible.

This reminds me of my mother-in-law, even though it's not exactly the same scenario. She lives out of state, so I send her lots of pictures of the kids with the animals and stuff, and sometimes she asked me questions. I like to be honest, "oh yeah, those are the meat chickens". And she always has some comment about how it's sad, or how she could never do it, or how she can't wait until the day she dies so no more animals have to die, yada yada yada. But she's not a vegan or vegetarian, she just buys regular old meat from the store, not even the ones with the buzzwords. She just balks at the idea of actually having to do the killing herself. It's annoying to think that the meat she's eating was raised in far worse conditions and suffered more than the pasture raised meat birds that my family is raising and she still needs to comment on it.
But this is one of her only faults. She is a very kind, kind woman by all counts.

On another note, does anyone know what this is? It's about 10 inches long and the one end is a strainer. Found it in a loved ones things after they passed
