RE: Why I, a “90% Vegetarian”, Shot a Goat In New Zealand

in #travel8 years ago

Yes I do think about that every so often. I was a vegetarian and vegan for some years. Now I'm back to eating mostly any whole food and have more of a paleo diet. I often do wonder about the killing of food. In Japan you say 'Itadakimasu' before eating to gives thanks to the sacrifice of the animal and receiving of it into your body. I said that while growing up and have a better appreciation for that practice now.

That is a beautiful practice! I respect every person's diet, from vegan to paleo, but I do believe that having an awareness of what you are eating (whether it is veggies or a steak) is important.
