aww crap.
I think I'm becoming a 'real' vegetarian.
After so long of just practicing it for non 'animal-rights' reasons, and then discovering in the last few months that I can eat fish without getting ill, I was doing so.
But today I felt guilty. For eating salmon. Because it should be alive, not in my belleh.
Now to figure out if guilty feelings are enough to stop me doing something. Do I want to be a guilt-based vegetarian? No, probably not. Guilt-based anything is a horrible reason to create action from.
Time to assess the self values again. Am I or am I not... okay with living things being 'farmed' for food/nutrition. Hrmmmmmm.
