RE: The two simple questions that made me a vegetarian (neither about health)
Great post! My answers are yes as well. I've been a vegetarian for about 7 years now. The thought of animals suffering causes me emotional pain, although I realize I am perhaps more sensitive than most.
Thank you! I think 7 years is an accomplishment. I think people are waking up to the suffering of animals and many are becoming sensitive to that and don't want to participate (or at least participate as little as possible).
Thanks! When I was younger I never really thought about the suffering of farm animals. Perhaps empathy increases with age?
Not necessarily. Children are capable of a lot of empathy as long as they notice the suffering. I think the problem is that we are generally thought to turn the blind eye.
