In regards to eating meat

[Monica]

Aren't restaurants the majority contributor to the profit of meat?

Yes. But average people keep those restaurants in business.

My kids love meat. I will not ask them to kill an animal with their bare hands to see how they feel about it

I hated it at the time, but I am now very grateful that my dad made me hold the legs of the chickens when he cut off their heads. The image of those headless chickens flopping around, and the glazed look in their lifeless eyes, and the blood pouring out of their necks, is indeliably stamped in my mind.

I have a friend who ate a lot of meat and said she could never be without it. She was married to a vegetarian. They couldn't agree about how to raise the kids so they finally agreed to let them decide for themselves, but with their eyes wide open. They wanted the kids to make an informed decision.

So, the mom took the kids to a slaughterhouse.

The kids shrugged it off and continued eating their McNuggets.

The mom is now a vegetarian.
