Vegetarianism
Written Opportunity: Justifying and Evaluation When I think of a lifestyle where I would not be able to eat meat, it frustrates me. I don’t think that there is anything wrong with eating meat. I intend to eat it until the day I die. I also believe that a good portion of vegetarians do it either out of boredom of for attention. Holidays are a great time to come together as a family, talk about what has been going on in your lives, and eat an animal someone else killed. Sounds kind of weird when you put it like that doesn’t it? Well, that’s what we do and there is nothing wrong with that. I myself do not enjoy killing an animal, but if I was hungry enough I know that I would be able to do it. It’s just like when I go fishing with my family, you have to bludgeon the fish you just caught to death so you can eat it later. You do it as quick as you can because you don’t want to see that animal suffer. It’s what people do, and why we have the teeth we do. Does that mean that killing animals to eat is wrong? No, I don’t think so. Cattle, pigs, and poultry are the holy trinity of meat. Just about everything we eat comes from these little guys. But a lot more comes from them too; we . . .
I have a little cousin who has always needed to be the center of attention. If you are a vegetarian you don’t eat meat. The cow alone is two of the four food groups. I would not enjoy working in a slaughterhouse at all, but that doesn’t mean that the slaughter, consumption, and use of animals is wrong. We use animal products in so many things. For the past seven months she has been on everyone’s case walking around the table in her black leather boots. Is it because the chicken and fish aren’t as cute as a cow or a pig like Babe? Should we all get together and have a list of animals that are too cute to eat and then the ones we could do without? And if you are going to pick one type of meat to eat and still call yourself a vegetarian, why not something that we can get more use out of like the cow? This semi-vegetarian idea is possibly the dumbest idea that I have heard. I refuse to eat Otters, Monkeys, Cats, and Mink. It’s not that I don’t love my cousin, because I do. I feel that we are doing a pretty efficient job in the way we are handling the farming of these animals. But they are food just like plants. I have thought long and hard about how this semi-vegetarian idea has such a following and the only thing I can come up with is: attention. Semi-vegetarians are a group that makes even less sense to me than a vegetarian. It makes less sense because it is not possible to be one.
