Original story here:
This guy would be almost funny if he wasn’t spewing such tripe.
He says: “And yes, I still eat meat, which I buy at a supermarket. And yes, that makes me a shameless hypocrite. I’m trying to quit.”
I say: “Okay, so you’re a hypocrite, but just to be sure you understand that admitting it doesn’t make it ok and that by itself guarantees no one will take you seriously. Not sure why buying it at a supermarket is considered ok (my wife use to work in that industry and if you ever saw it first hand you’d become an instant vegetarian) whereas hunting is somehow evil. Someone cry one too many times after watching Bambi?”
He says: “There’s no need to go out and actively track down dinner, unless you’re one of the few thousand people left on the planet who are legitimate hunter/gatherers.”
I say: “Who the flip are you to decide what need is? People need shelter, water, and food in that order; nothing else is a need. Based on that fact alone ethical hunting trumps tofu or a double soy decaf latte with a twist of lime any day of the week.
And just because I’m feeling in a particularly ranty mood today; ethical hunting is more civilized, green (yes green), and healthier than your tofu or supermarket meat ever will be. Did you ever stop to think where tofu comes from and how it’s made? Probably not, you’d be surprised. I’ll make it easy, look here.”
Go back to you tofu and keep your silly opinions to yourself.
