My wife and I have chosen to bring up our children as vegetarians. In another time or place, we might have made a different decision. But the realities of our present moment compelled us to make that choice.
Since the world has changed so much, the same values don't lead to the same choices anymore.
If we are not given the option to live without violence, we are given the choice to center our meals around harvest or slaughter, husbandry or war. We have chosen slaughter. We have chosen war. That's the truest version of our story of eating animals. Can we tell a new story?
I have made my own choice, which is vegetarianism, but it's not the choice I'm imposing on anybody else.
These little daily choices that we're so used to thinking are irrelevant are the most important thing we do all day long.
