32. It is cultural...
We throw a beef steak on the grill, but not a kitty. Kitties provide protein too, yet for cultural reasons, we don't eat 'em.


I see no difference in hunting deer or fishing for fish. I like venison sausage, but I am not a hunter. I like fishing, and also like fish. I choose not to be a vegitarian. However, I don't browbeat you for choosing not to eat meat.

So the answer to your question is that it is all CULTURAL. Food taboos are cultural.

I guess the original poster on this thread should have expected such from the judgemental vegans who want to ridicule anyone who includes meat in his or her diet. I do, it's my business, and I think that I offered reasonable explanations as to why hunting is prevalent in MY CULTURE.
