-Removed-Learnt the process of how the chicken was prepared for lunch, rather than just buying it from the shop.
Like I said , I'm not a vegetarian , per se, but I do think modern consumer society has removed itself from the process of how the meat gets to your plate.
Just the same as growing your own vegies.
Ever done that? They are ever so tasty because there is a connection between the grower,the plant and the eventual consumer.
not to mention you know what ever pesticides are being used, etc.

This is exactly why Christianity is false.
You have single-handedly - proven what I have been trying to say for over a year.
Thankyou.
and I would not want to be a tick buried up any ass. I could give up eating
Steak. Do you have a good replacement?

If you are an atheist then you may kill and eat any amount of animals you like.....you do anyway.

that is CLEARLY false. I am a vegetarian ( and an atheist ) -not because I believe in any stupid religious crap nor so much for personal health ( although a limited health argument could be made here ) but because of a moral reason that has nothing to do with animal welfare ( why can't a farm animal have a good life and painless death? ) : if we all stopped eating meat ( apart from what little meat comes from sustainable hunting ) then we would put significantly less strain on our limited biosphere resources and reduce our carbon footprint and we would be one big step closer to living truly sustainably and giving our children's children a better future.
How is that NOT a reason for an atheist ( or any other moral-thinking person ) to be a vegetarian?
