Not at all. I think a lot of people who eat meat are uncomfortable about it but work hard at not thinking about the consequences of their actions.

I was agreeing with the part of Wendy's statement that I quoted, which was about not getting too comfortable with contradictions, and striving to act in congruence with one's values and beliefs.

And again I'd agree with Wendy that this would be a far preferable scenario, but very few people manage to live their life that way. Hence the overwhelming predominance of piggeries.

I have an equal regard for pigs and dogs, and so eat neither.
