* The Wiccan Rede, "and ye harm none, do what ye will" is, for me, an ideal. I wish we could all do this, but it's virtually impossible, and here is why. We have to kill to eat; and I'm sorry, plants count. (Doesn't *everything* have a spirit?) When we mow our lawns, fight an infection, or merely use soap, we kill

Ahhhh ovo-lacto vegetarianism. Also known as the beedy eyed vegetarians as they'll eat anything that's not cute. I read a study once that I would like to find out more about that said that more animals are killed to produce the same calories of grain than are killed producing meat since the current farming standard is to plant a huge field of grain, wait until it attracts every small furry creature in the area and the go over the whole thing with a giant whirly hacky harvester. If you're really interest you might be able to check out some small time organic growers or private farmsteads. They're more likely to be using less destructive harvesting methods just because they haven't got the money for them. Of course the amount of water it takes to produce wheat is less than beef but then again I'm hoping that they seriously wash it.

Ye gods. I find that oddly amusing and revolting all at the same time. Hmm.
