to MEAT or
not to MEAT

I am not currently a vegetarian, but I think I could be without that much difficulty.  It is a personal choice that I have examined over the years.  As Jon & I head toward a more agrarian lifestyle, I recognize that I am unwilling to take the life of an animal living on my farm (chickens, rabbits & goats).  Instead, I leave that job to my husband who has less of a debate with it than I do.  Does that mean I should not be willing to eat them–since I couldn’t kill them?  This is my current philosophical internal dialogue.  These animals offer my family the best way to get protein, but the chickens & goats can produce protein in the form of eggs & milk without it resulting in their demise.  Should we choose NOT to kill them?  I know both sides of the argument.  Do I choose not to eat it if I cannot kill it?  The war of human versus nature rages in my mind as it does in this next Call from F-Stop.  Take a look & offer your best…
