Agreed. Vegetarianism is not so bad.
What I love is the west side ladies who claim they never eat mammals or some BS. Invariably, they are carrying a leather bag.
Partly it is for health and partly for the sheer fun of doing it.
I am trying to get it so that we have the full "circle of life" going.
While we could feed a vegetarian, especially if they were willing to eat eggs, it would be impossible to feed a vegan.
The soil NEEDS animal poop, blood and bones to grow healthy plants.
I agree with you on the leather thing. It is even more fun when it is vinyl and you point out that it is made from oil and oil comes from dead animals. When they protest that those animals died long ago I put on my shocked face and ask if there is a statute of limitation on how long after an animal dies it is moral to make use it.
