I understand when people speak about the ethical problems with eating meat, but I think they do not apply to fish.

    All I can say is I truly embrace the fact that I’m a human and an omnivore. I don’t deny there are ethical horrors with the way animals are raised for slaughter, it’s quite disgusting in fact. But I ALSO can’t deny that I love eating meat off the bone - chicken wings, spare ribs, steak, you name it. When I’m eating meat I’m very happy indeed. And I don’t try to pretend I can justify it as somehow OK with regard to how the animals are slaughtered.

    I’m a walking contradiction in many regards. I don’t try to reconcile my love of meat with my love of animals. I have both, and they sometimes are in conflict. I eat all kinds of things, veggies and grains and all kinds of stuff, but my primary love is meat. I don’t deny it, and I don’t justify it. It is what it is, and so am I.
