Dating
in the Boonies
When I was younger, the "moral" aspects as far as being
a vegetarian really did not enter into my dating. I
did not actively try to convince someone I was seeing
to stop eating meat. At the time, it was just my personal
thing. It usually came up in discussions, but these
discussions were always directed towards why I didn't
eat meat, not why my date shouldn't.
In the past few years however, I am compelled to question
people as to why THEY eat meat. I have come to realize
that I do not wish to spend the rest of my life with
someone who doesn't share my views. I don't think I
would feel comfortable sharing my life with a man who
finds animal suffering acceptable. I know a lot of good
men who would never harm an animal on purpose, however,
in my opinion, eating meat IS harming animals on purpose
because meat is not needed by humans to live and be
healthy. Trying to persuade a meat-eater of this is
emotionally draining on me. I have spent many hours
arguing this point, mostly to no avail. Here I am, standing
in front of them, totally healthy (usually more healthy
than they are), and they still refuse to believe they
don't need animal products to live! I am totally stumped
as to what could ever convince them.
