Yes. Impulse control is important :)
When it comes to eating meat reflex actions may not be a good excuse, though.
Don't get me wrong: I think everyone needs to decide for themselves how much cruelty they want to be a part of... I don't judge meat eaters.
I have been through all phases in my life when it comes to diet and now I am reducing cruelty as good as I can but I am far far from perfect.
