Conversely though,...Thats an interesting arguement. Conversely though, we all have our specific diets because we *choose* to have them - at the moment I am eating roadkill, homebutchered chickens and have just started occasionally buying organic meat, also because they are the ethical choices I have made. Yes, we have developed these ways of feeding ourselves and keeping ourselves healthy, and can now afford to think about what we are eating and why we are eating it, but surely you have more reasons than to escape conditioning, unless I've misunderstood there. I also feel I am escaping my conditioning - to not think about what goes in my mouth - instead I think very carefully and make careful and considered decisions, each based on the merits of the particular food type, how it was produced etc. I feel the same, that we have a wide range of choices and can make informed decisions. For example one choice for me is trying to eat less soy products. But escaping our conditioning doesn't neccesarily mean a specific diet. It means choosing our own diet according to our own ethical/moral choices surely, and that can lead to different diets according to the different priorities of the eater. <br /><br />In that way I would feel I am a whatever-you-call-it-ivore also because I choose to think about it.<br /><br />That all said, I have to admit to first wondering what whale would taste like, and then thinking oh shit, WHALE?! But then that also reminds me of us digging up and burning the bogs in Ireland...whole other story there!Snag Breachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04238110979747427414noreply@blogger.com
