I also am a bit confused by the "ranking" of who is more deserving of compassion. How and what a person decides to eat is certainly their decision to make. I do wish we would inform ourselves about what we are consuming, so we are making conscious decisions. No living creature deserves to be treated cruelly and without respect, and I believe we should be mindful and appreciative of the life that was taken/given so it could be eaten. I personally find it appalling at how much is discarded and wasted!! juliet |
