My major concern is with the moral battle that occurs. I just want to make it clear that I don't feel its proper to say anyone is a better person based on consumption choices. -- Chemical
I was going to say that I didn't consider myself morally superior, but then I realise that I do feel superior to some omnivores. Not to the people who don't raise the issues with themselves (the people whose only thought when eating meat is along the lines of, "Wow, this burger is delicious") - I can't feel superior to somebody who doesn't even take it as an issue. They're the kind of people who I wouldn't even bother discussing vegetarianism with, because they simply don't get it. For example, there'd be no point discussing it with NorthernChaosGod - waste of my time and his.
The people I do feel superior to are the people who justify meat-eating to themselves (much in the same way that I justify eating fish to myself). The people who have raised the question with themselves. They obviously have some idea that keeping animals in a restricted environment and then killing them is Not A Good Thing, but then they choose to ignore it. I don't think that's right.
