Unpopular opinion

I'm not one to push my pescetarian diet on to anyone else, but when I see someone defend eating meat with "it tastes good" I imagine a shrex offender defending forcing themselves on someone else by saying "it felt good"

I know they're two very different things, don't get me wrong. My point is, it's not a good excuse. Candy tastes good too, but you still stop yourself most of the time bc you know it's not good for you.

I'm rambling, I know.

If we didn’t eat the things that live, we wouldn’t eat: plants live. Fish and sea creatures live. And people who eat sweets in moderation will probably be okay. Also, people tend to choose their diets based upon foods they enjoy.

@bijouxbroussard I'm not arguing that. Just saying "it tastes good" isn't a good reason.

@LordBarbossa why not ?

@bijouxbroussard read my post again

@LordBarbossa Yes, and you acknowledged that comparing it to a "shrex offender" is "two very different things". So I wondered if you had any better reasons.

@bijouxbroussard empathy, trying to eat healthier, being more aware of what one eats, being against animal cruelty (relevant in some cases), valuing life of all species, and some more that I simply can't put into words tbh. Partly bc I'm writing this in my 2nd language, partly bc how meat is prepared differs a lot from place to place / country to country, and partly bc I sometimes find it hard to express my emotions.

@LordBarbossa I can agree that how meat is prepared makes a big difference, with as little cruelty and suffering to the animal in the process as possible.
