42. the "natural order of things " & other species' predation are not excuses.
It seems like you have to have a lot of excuses to justify your eating of meat. So what if our eyes are set in the front of our skull like those of natural carnivores if we have canines to tear flesh off of bone. We now have the understanding and ability to take control of our diet and eat healthy vegan diets, especially with dietary supplements.

You summed it up when you said, "I take steps that are personally comfortable for me." That is fine as long as you have you have come to the conclusion that the personal benefits you gain are more important and more valued to you than the suffering and cruelty caused by the industries you support. As long as you do not blame tradition, nature, culture, ec. but instead take full responsibility for the supporting the perpetuation of cruelty rather than using your moneys to support alternatives.
