My mom just told me about how today she was watching ants on our back porch and watching as they one by one stole the catfood out of the catfood bowl and took it down into their little "ant hole." She watched as this one ant tried and tried to get his chunk of food down the hole but couldn't get it to fit and how all these other ants were passing it until finally the ant gave up, left the food behind, and went down into the hole with no food. My mom said she felt bad so took a twig and shoved the food through the hole after him.
I thought it was cute and it reminded me how once again, my mom is so cute.
I came to a realization that I really don't know how I feel about meat anymore. Beef disgusts me, so does pork, sausage, bacon etc. Chicken used to be good but I just can't eat it anymore. I've always wanted to be vegetarian for the health benefits (if you properly substitute protein, that is) and because, I have to admit, I do feel guilty for eating the animals that may or may not have been treated cruely just to satisfy our hunger. I'm the kind of person who has to research something before I dive into it, but it's just been on my mind lately. If these aren't your opinions then by all means..continue on with your life (doesn't bother me.)
Salutations.
