We talked about this before, and I think you're right; we have to make as good decisions as we are able, and no one can be perfect. It's absolutely impossible. So, you have to draw the (ethical) line where it best fits.

Here's an interview with Jonathan Safron Foer on Ellen: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/10/jonathan-safran-foer-on-e_n_493810.html

It's pretty good. This video actually speaks to your concerns. He also talks about how if everyone removed one serving of meat per week from their diets, it would have the equivalent effect of taking 5 million cars off the road.

You don't have to be 100% vegan (or anything for that matter) to begin accomplishing positive changes in our world.

thanks Mary

yeah i think about it too much, or not enough.
It's friends like you that keep me anchored, my damn corporate, ignoramus compadres just don't get it. I think I have to buy them reusable coffee cups just to get my point across, and that's just BS

Yeah, sometimes I forget I'm surrounded by "liberals" or "progressives" or whatever at my job. Ha.

And yes, those quotation marks were absolutely necessary.
