Eating Weird stuff
We constantly hear from vegetarians that eating meat and other foods is bad and we should think of the animals...What about the rights of vegetables? Surely they feel pain in some way or another?
I’m not knocking vegetarians etc. they have a right to their opinions.
I myself am a vagitarian when the mood strikes.
There is another group we don’t hear much about, it falls under the name “Pica” which (thanks to Wikipedia) means the consumption of substances with no significant nutritional value, This often happens with pregnant women.
Some examples:-
• Cautopyreiophagia (burnt matches)
• Coniophobia (dust)
• Coprophagia (feces)
• Emetophagia (vomit)
• Geomelophagia (raw potatoes)
• Geophagia (dirt, soil, clay)
Do you eat anything like this? (perhaps when pregnant) and why?

But if killing animals is so bad, how would even the remainders of the animals be provided for the dog or cat's food without killing the animals? Or is killing animals bad because the meat is for human consumption? Is it not bad if the humans gets the remainders of the animals while the dogs or cats get the meat? Killing is killing no matter who gets what parts. No?
Anyway, I have never thought that dogs can survive with vegetables only. This is what I like about CS.. always something new to learn. Thanks Molly and you.
I guess talking to my Rose Apple tree. I am not a weirdo after all..
