Okay, I have spent the last couple of days... looking at some awful things online. I might not be held responsible for my actions if I witness in person what I have seen in some of these videos...
Now I need to restore my peace again, but I just thought I'd let you know, Diana, that I'm pretty much over eating meat for now. I simply cannot be accessory to that, which is what I am if I buy meat.
I'm still happy with eating fish, we had snoek the last couple of evenings, and it was delicious.
I also feel like mentioning that the approach taken by some vegans and vegetarians in the meat thread, made me shake my head in disbelief. No meat eating friend of mine is "conscienceless" or polarising negatively, I know this because I know them, and it was implied in that thread. It reminded me of the pharisees in the bible... making people feel bad about themselves can never yield any positive results. I can also see that the thread was a strong catalyst for many involved, and I learned much :-)
All is well.
