i'm not a vegetarian, nor do i have anything against their beleifs. But i live on a farm that the amish use to raise beef cattle, so I witness their bovine lives every day. I dont know about big beef companies, but the cows here have pretty good lives. What most people don't realize is that if humans didn't use cows for their milk/meat, they literally would not exist. Their lives aren't being cut short. becoming a meat product is thier life. So even though we kill them, they do get to live, and that's a lot better than never living at all, right?
the bottom line, i guess, is that stuff needs to eat other stuff for nature to work. we would all die if everyone was a vegeterian. as long as you don't have a "total conversion" mentality, then everything's cool.
as for me, i dont eat asparagus. i beleive strongly in the rights of disgusting little plants that smell bad.
as for the shirt, being a "meatatarian" would suggest that you eat no vegetables at all. I'm not entirely sure, but that may not be possible to live on
