Do you agree with Richard Dawkins?

I'm a vegetarian, and have from time to time rescued poor animals from the street and adopted them.

It does cause me alarm when, what is eaten is purposely harmed. Finding out can't be good for the digestion.

I speak from experience, since I've turned vegetarian, my system works better (and I take pain relievers which constipate but do not now.) (TMI, I know) This experience in vegetarianism seems to have corrected many stomach problems of mine which was a true sickness, not supposed to relieve oneself through the mouth.

It has been kinder to me, and from the literature from various animal rescue groups kinder to the animals.

As my Grandpa always said 'everything wants to live'; wisdom I didn't adhere to but now the cycle of 'kindness' reverberates back to me.

You have to realize that each person is different. I can eat meat without any of those issues.. However, my main diet is mostly fruit.. My house is packed with fruits. Now vegetarianism is your choice, and it is a healthy choice giving that we have evolved from herbivores. But evolution has also made the human species now largely omnivorous.

BTW, my cat came from an old burnt out trailer. I found her while four wheeling back trails. Me and my friends came across this trailer and found her inside what appeared to be the remains of the back bedroom. Took her to the vet, and they told me that she would be put to sleep if I didn't choose to keep her.. Had her now for 16 years.

I do realize that I'm different in this matter of course. Omnivores are the majority. I just lost my taste for meat, and of course the physical aspect. What sealed me, was a few videos on cruelty. Up until that point it was strictly organics.

Fruit you have me there, I can't buy enough. Last night I 'got' the last banana and was overjoyed (crazy)

Lovely, too the rescued cat. The same thing happened while walking one of my dogs, a stray just going around the block....they said he'd be put to death and I couldn't let that happen. The dog I was walking was called Nada - he wasn't going to be kept either hence the name.

My oldest cat is about 20 years old, a rescue and I'm beside myself because she is still alive. The ASPCA vets have told me that rescues don't life long. The experience came true many times, but this one lasted. I always say 'we grew up together'.

So I'm a mush.

It is up to the individual to decide either for health reasons or desires to eat as they are able to do. Something I agree with.

If indeed RD stated eating meat wast cruel. Say for his conscience; I agree. If the statement is made up, I have seen videos on how cruel industries treat animals, and agree anyway.

Eating as I do now is a bonus at that point for me, and the animal.
