"Even if plants do have feelings we still have to eat SOMETHING."
plants do have feelings and its ok to eat them too.
"...than fool myself into thinking it's ok to ignore the screams an suffering of slaughtering living creatures for the sole reason of taste."
what you're saying is "if the thing doesn't scream you can eat it."
I'm not saying don't eat plants or don't eat meat.
All I want to say is "Stop judging people for eating meat, You are not better in any way."
It's not the point of being better than anyone else, you put that in your own mind, not me. I couldn't care less about being better or worse than a stranger on the internet. It's about saving animals from a torturous death. They don't die humanely at all, they suffer extreme deaths, which is very disturbing coming from a species who claim to 'love animals' and have certain ones as pets but still murder the others.
I agree each to their own and I also chose to eat meat for 37 years but it's amazing when people see the light and choose to take a more positive path for yourself, the animals and the planet as a whole. I hope you one day see this too. Take care :)
