I was at a group dinner last weekend, during which the conversation centered mostly around food. That seen as ‘great food’ for most is but burnt carcasses to me, no matter how well masked the meat is with herbs and spices. I can no longer comprehend why anyone can be fascinated by meat, isn’t it obvious that it’s the seasoning that renders it tasty? I was wondering, do I really need to spell out the truth to everyone?<\/span><\/p>\n

It was no surprise that I was\u00a0the only vegan at the table. What was appalling was the amount of meat ordered. So much there was that a few plates were left untouched. Ordering animal flesh is already unthinkable, but to waste animals’ lives by\u00a0not finishing the meat asked for is atrocious!<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it really that hard to go for a kinder diet? Or does the word ‘compassion’ simply not\u00a0exist when it comes to filling one’s stomach?\u00a0Why would any sensible person want their stomach to be a mortuary? Have so many human hearts grown as cold as a mortuary’s freezer? Please, during this season of giving, at least reduce the demand for animal lives. Give the helpless animals a break. Go vegan! If not, go vegetarian!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
