I love to eat all the time! Sometimes I eat as a hobby. I may not be hungry but I still eat something for the fun of it. I derive great pleasure from eating. While I realize the suffering animals are exposed to, I still choose to eat meat because I really like it. In my eyes, eating meat is wrong and ideally it would be fantastic if everyone was either a vegetarian or a vegan. However, realistically speaking, many of us are omnivores and have been eating meat for ages, and its hard to give that up all of a sudden. I am not justifying my actions behind all this, I simply admit that by eating meat I am acting ethically wrong, and is pretty funny how occasionally something so bad feels really good. Some people can sacrifice that gustatory pleasure they derive from eating meat, in order to keep animals safe from pain and suffering. I am not so sensitive and prefer to eat meat and live the best kinda life while I'm here, with no limitations. Because to deny your every impulse and desire, is to deny the very thing that makes us human. With all that being said, I occasionally eat a lot of Hispanic foods in restaurants and a lot of home made foods at home as well. I tend to eat out a lot also. Sometimes in fast food restaurants and other times in places that look a lot healthier. But who's to say that they are actually healthier? No one really knows what they do to our foods when we are not looking. I don't familiarize myself with where my food comes from and how is it raised and what they do to it before ending up in my plate. I tend to not care and praise the fact that "ignorance is bliss". I am very skeptical and unless I am there physically while all that process of food is being done. I do not believe what I hear, what I read, nor what they tell me. Therefore, I prefer not to waste my time concerning myself where my food comes from because I'll never really know unless I'm always there while it is being prepared. And so I just live! Live and eat!
