no meat

I found this quote on sentient beings dot org, which i got to from a link on farm sanctuary:

“But for the sake of some little mouthful of flesh we deprive a soul of the sun and light, and of that proportion of life and time it had been born into the world to enjoy.”
–Plutarch

I remember about a semester before I decided to stop eating meat, I was eating some dish with pork in it and not especially enjoying it, and suddenly realized that some animal had died so that I could pick at this piece of food and not really enjoy it. At that point I decided that I would only eat meat if I really wanted to, not just because it was what I was used to.
