Neither do you, you simply believe that you do..lol. All of these intricate manouverings around the morality of food plainly show that those engaged in the discussion don't worry too much about food. Those who do don't worry about the moral implications of what they put in their mouths. Seriously, it's food, not a moral litmus test. Our varying notions of morality have no effect on the productivity or suitability of land for any given commodity. Our sense of empathy does not bend the landscape to our whims and remove the need for livestock production and all that it entails. What you find "moral" or "immoral" about food is most likely a product of your culture and access to nutrition and nothing more. You can define any given thing however you like, the only thing that will be affected is the definition, the morality of whatever you are invoking remains completely open to interpretation and disagreement, as always.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
