My second-favorite, BTW, is a good pro-life Vaishnava in Oakland who keeps trying to get me to stop being a carnivore. His vegan ideas are foreign to Catholicism in general, though not unehard-of in a Cistercian kitchen! For my part, I'm stickin' with my pork fried rice. Kosher or not. :o)
Here’s my priorities - once humans stop killing humans*, then I’ll work on getting humans to stop killing animals... ;-)
(And if anyone’s interested, I’ve got great vegetarian recipes stuffed with protein!)
*Other than just executions and necessary wars, of course.
