Girl-with-the-Thorn
Still here.
when I was forced to eat meat as a child I never liked the taste, does that make me less of a vegetarian?
I think it matters not whether she does it for health or for moral reasons the important issue is that she does not willingly cause death and suffering and that ALWAYS a good thing.
Also I know of a LOT of 'moral' vegetarians who couldnt give a stuff about using leather etc, so they, (by your argument Kewpie) are just as un veggie as this girl is.
Exactly. I know quite a few people who became vegetarians simply because they hated the taste of meat; some are now enthusiastic about the ethical aspect of it, some aren't. Whether the decision to not eat meat was taken because of ethics and animal rights or not, that person is still at least doing something to challenge the meat industry and the obsession our culture has with meat. Therefore, it is an ethical choice even if the individual couldn't give a flying toss about that side of things.
