Can we agree that guilt about meat isn't from childhood programming? (since meat is acceptable in our society)
Then it logically follows that the guilt is coming from somewhere else.
Unless the person was raised by vegans, which most of us weren't, then it logically follows that it's not 'programmed' guilt.
Thus, what is it then? Where else does guilt come from?
It's not from the vegetarians either. I cannot force someone to feel guilt, even if I wanted to (which I don't).
So, that leaves only 1 possibility: it's healthy remorse, coming from the conscience.
If you have any other ideas about the possible source of guilt, I'd love to hear them!
shrug If you don't understand what I am saying, that's OK. But I disagree with you, and I do not feel guilty that I have eaten meat , sardines, stinging nettles, chicken, bananas , avocados, shrimp, milk, chesse, nuts, etc.
Though I sometimes feel bad if I eat too much junk food.
