Thanks for your comment.
I am still ...Hola Kim:<br /><br />Thanks for your comment. <br /><br />I am still freaked out though reminding myself to focus on the passing of the young man. It is a sad time for his family and loved ones.<br /><br />Last night for dinner I went the pasta route and that is not always good for a diabetic. Plays havoc with my sugars even though it was full grain pasta.<br /><br />So in a couple of minutes its off to the gym to run a very long time to get the extra glucose out of my system - and to ease my mind.<br /><br />I have struggled with how to live ethically with food all my life.<br /><br />The older I get it seems I have given up on the ethics/morals of not eating meat.<br /><br />A vegetarian or better yet vegan diet is better all around is it not?<br /><br />I read somewhere that one of the largest carbon abuses comes from raising red meat and transporting it around the world.<br /><br />I also read last week that Mcdonald's imports its fries into SA because it won't use our local potatoes. <br /><br />It is more than just a single issue of course.<br /><br />What we are witnessing is the colonization of our stomachs by multinationals who now define what food is.<br /><br />No small wonder obesity looks the same everywhere and related diseases are a global problem.<br /><br />Still, like you I cannot just easily shrug off the killing that goes for what we call food.<br /><br />Yet I remain a hypocrite still.<br /><br />By the way, have fun for me too tonight - and a slice of gluten free veg pizza ;0)<br /><br />Wish I was coming along to the opening.<br /><br />Onward!Ridwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758153484699728802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-85636339659036316082013-02-02T08:33:08.064+02:002013-02-02T08:33:08.064+02:00I would have been complete freaked out. This bothe...I would have been complete freaked out. This bothers me, I love to eat lamb but the thought of watching, and hearing one being slaughtered is difficult for me.<br /><br />I am from the mind frame that if I eat it I should be able to deal or even perform the action of killing.<br /><br />I was able to watch my dog be put down to end her suffering. Is this the same or different? I think the line of difference is vague.<br /><br />This is a struggle for me.<br /><br />I killed a squirrel with my car and I cried. I saw an opossum dead on the road, which I believe I saw crossing the road just the day before, I cried.<br /><br />This is what happens when we are so far removed from where our food comes from.<br /><br />I, we need to thank the animals who become our food.<br /><br />Peace, <br />KimberlyKimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510271866658692834noreply@blogger.com
