Mmmm. Yes, perhaps it was a rather overbearing judgment for me to make. Regardless, there is undue tention generated with regards to a moral doctrine espousing the need to 'love' and 'nurture' on one hand and the demands of our stomachs on the other wouldn't you say?
I see flesh as flesh, whatever the species. The process of life is what is important and artful to me, not the form. The human curse and blessing of abstract thought tempts us to separate ourselves from the system that gives us life. To not feel pity does not necessarily make one
cruel.
