The reason I turned Vegghead was I saw a $.99 fish I had in a tank PLAYING in the air bubbles. If that fish enjoyed playing, then killing it would be terrible! And if killing a little fish is bad, I just don't want the responsibility of having to have someone die for me to eat.
And just how do you think a carrot feels when you pull it out of the ground? If you listen carefully, you can hear their scream for mercy. And an apple when forcefully separated from its mother?
I once knew a guy who claimed to be a "breatharian" (actually I was asked to ghost write his aurobiography) - someone who lives on air alone, until he was caught sneaking a Big Mac.
Hey, we all got to eat SOMETHING!!
