a commitment to what, personal sacrifice? the well-being of god's children? chicken rights?
i've never known a vegetarian who wasn't evangelical about their diet. their DIET mind you. not their beliefs about the meaning of life and death, or the right of a woman to abort her own blastula, or even the banality of stem cell research. no, they have issue with the origin of my
lunch.
my cousin was visiting me about this time last year. she was going on about the poor chicks and piglets, telling me how they suffer so. i asked her about the working conditions in the factory that produced her designer clothes. she pleaded ignorance.
we choose our own battles. some people joust for tofu. i wrangle for hedonism.
