I am not a vegetarian BUT I do not eat any fast food of any kind, because fast food is disgusting.
Thats a very good decision! Thinking about what you eat in general is the overall point I think most people miss anyway. Food becomes a generic source that is readily available to most. A chicken nugget, an m&m, a piece of lettuce, an apple, a twinkie.... all fall into one giant category: food.
If we accept that life is vampiric- in that you have to consume other life to remain alive yourself... eating isnt really as simple as just consuming units of nourishment. You are extinguishing another life to sustain your own.
There is nothing morally wrong with eating meat (roacherman) . because of the basic law I just described. However, what I personally find to be a moral dilemma is the loss of the connection to what our food is and where it comes from. The meat industry is absolutely terrible... the reason why most people dont want to learn about it, or watching a video would be unpleasant, is because it is unpleasant to think about your food coming from... well.. what it actually comes from. Its a classic case of complacency vs truth (like... matrix red pill vs blue pill) It goes far beyond just the idea of how the animals are treated too... its how they are regarded as product- thier life is forfeit.
Im not saying its impossible to be completely aware of all the details and understand perfectly where what your eating comes from and be totally fine with that... Im saying that its rarely the case. I try to encourage people just to think about everything... including what they eat. information is neutral, so there is no taboos. Its easier just to enjoy the gravy train and never think about where your food comes from... but it would most likely be more fulfilling if you educated yourself and made a decision with your soul and mind.
